NBA 2K18 "The Eccentric Edition" - Realistic Slider Set

Re: NBA 2K18 "The Eccentric Edition" - Realistic Slider Set

That's what I like to hear! I'm not sure if I can do much more to affect the DISTRIBUTION of rebounds, I may only be able to control the balance between USER and CPU in that respect.

I'll keep trying though!

I wouldn't sweat that too much. WCS, Kanter and Skal Labissière see a ton of minutes for me. Koufos isn't in my long term plans, amongst other things.

Buddy Hield at the 2 is only 6'4 and Bogdanovich is only 6'6" and hardly all that athletic. My play style lends itself to my bigs gobbling up rebounds.

With that being said, field goal percentages appear to be in the right direction - as a team we only got 55 rebounds that game. Still good enough to be amongst the leagues best in the league but definitely lower than the ~70 I was seeing on a normal basis before when CPU teams were shooting around 40%.

That number should come down in the next update, as the CPU should take fewer shots so there will be less rebounds to go around.

Gs(me) vs. Pacers

This game is absolutely incredible. It really is. It's nice to see I can blow out the cpu playing as realistic as possible basketball. Everything felt nearly perfect, it was almost scary. They went cold early, the opposite of what ATL did to me the last game. This is even with cpu shooting sliders raised a few ticks.

Turnovers a bit low again. Need to keep an eye out for this.

In my life, i never see a real nba game with ten fouls per team, and less then 18 free throws per team

This is so far away from perfect

if the number of the fouls called was ok, then we have less number of shots, the problem is only there, always there

I get 24+ free throws per team per game, and rebounds can still be an issue. I wish it was as simple to fix all the games problems as some of you assume it is [emoji23]

nobody says it's simple to fix, i say a SIMPLE different thing
this game has a problem that we can't fix by sliders setting

24 ft per team it means only that shooting fouls are ok, you can have 24ft with only 12 fouls for example

with more non-shooting fouls, as the real game, drecrease also the number of the shot

I'm not getting FTs off of just shooting fouls. I've been getting plenty of FTs from teams being in the bonus due to reach in, blocking, charging, illegal picks, etc.

There will still be too many rebounds if you don't get the CPU to slow down, turn the ball over more, and take fewer shots.

ok i hope you are right, but during all my test i can't get your result

Hey Eccentric,

I agree- haven't had a chance to play the last day or so, but it's a combo of those 3 things. Not far off though. One thing that's good is after about 5 myleague games testing your base set, the pace was fine (maybe even a little slow) in my played games. My pace has been at about 97, and I think that's because I intentionally trying to slow the game down, to make the computer slow down. But yes, if the discrepancy between the amount of shots the cpu takes and takes can come down just a tad, then we'd be right on the button.

As of right now they avg. about 90 shots a game to my 80 and that's the difference in all the skewed reb stats etc.

Re: NBA 2K18 "The Eccentric Edition" - Realistic Slider Set

When a game starts i set playcalling from my opponent to 100 this give a better realistic view

Turnovers and fouls are off. Two stats are off, three if you want to include free throws yet "this is so far away from perfect."

Re: NBA 2K18 "The Eccentric Edition" - Realistic Slider Set

**note, this is a fantasy draft** I am Bos playing against Cle
Here is a game I just played with OP settings. This is the first game up NBA I have played so maybe a little rusty. I am very patient on O, sometimes a little too patient and I end up taking some bad/forced shots. I missed some open shots, I think due to me not having my players releases down yet.(I don't use shot meter, or feedback) Overall I thought it played well, CPU had a hard time scoring as you can see, will try and play a few more games before making a judgement call on the sliders. Sorry about the one photo being sideways, not sure how to flip it??

My photos were showing in the preview but I am not seeing them on my post. Can someone help with this?

Yup, just that slight over-shooting by the CPU is causing a TON of statistical issues. Once I get their decision making tuned in and increase turnovers and fouls, everything will be good to go!

ok i hope you are right, but during all my test i can't get your result

To be fair, my results are from my current test sliders and not the BASE settings in the OP. The current base slider set will give realistic movement, on ball defense, and general player attribute improvements. But the tendencies and decision making haven't been shifted much from default sliders, so you won't see a lot of the improvements that I'm seeing.

This update is just taking a little longer to fine tune than I anticipated. I've been up past 5am the last couple nights working on it AND I have a full time job, so I'm doing the best I can [emoji23]

I wouldn't worry too much about it. For one, some fantasy draft teams might have a bunch of players who don't gel together and have conflicting tendencies. Play a few more games against other teams and I'm sure things will improve!

Also, the settings in the OP are still just a BASE. Offensive tendencies and almost every aspect of team defense will see a HUGE improvement in my next update. Those are the two main points that control difficulty and CPU gameplay, and I know they're not at their best right now.

They will be much better soon!

What do you mean "set playcalling to 100"? Is this a setting I haven't seen?!
