NBA 2K22 "The Eccentric Edition" - Realistic NG Slider Set

Re: NBA 2K22 "The Eccentric Edition" - Realistic NG Slider Set

Sorry for the lack of updates. I haven't touched a single other game since Elden Ring came out, and just finished my playthrough last night with 180 hours on it... Yea. Unfortunately, when an actually enjoyable game comes out I put NBA 2K on the backburner for a while lol

Anyway, I jumped into some testing right after finishing up that playthrough and was immediately blown out as the Nets by the 76ers. Good god, Embiid and Harden played me like a fiddle. If I wasn't getting my ankles broken on the perimeter by Harden, Embiid was punishing me in the post with ease. And when I manually brought a guy in to double team the post, he would kick it out for the open 3. There were also multiple instances of Embiid passing out of the double team, re-positioning to the opposite side of the paint, getting the ball in the low post again, and punishing my defense in whichever way made the most sense at the time. They were feeding him (especially during mismatches), and he was making me pay.

Fouls were decent, but I'm sure the next game I play will have the CPU go to the line about 4 times total, so who knows. The CPU defense fouls realistically and user FT numbers look great, but as usual with 2K you just can't consistently give the CPU that same treatment.

Anyway, just wanted to check in and let people know that the set isn't dead. I need to tighten up a few things with movement and tendencies before I can get an update posted, but most of my work from before Elden Ring's release seems to have held up over the past month, so there shouldn't be a long wait from here!

As a fan of classic rosters scenarios i would like from the community to suggest slider sets for different eras especially 80's,90's,00's.
I believe that the gaming experience will be enhanced with proper sliders for each era.

Oh Elden Ring was incredible. Haven’t been that addicted to a game since probably Star Wars KOTOR on the original Xbox nearly 20 years ago! Usually I start to feel burnt out from a game after 20 hours, but I put in 180 hours on just that one playthrough of Elden Ring, and it never got old and never slowed down. God of War 2018 may be the only “flawless” game I can think of, but Elden Ring is probably the most addicting and pure-fun game I’ve ever played.

To put it mildly, NBA 2K doesn’t even come close lol but I’ve still got an update to work on.

About a decade ago I would put my enjoyment of NBA 2K up there with a game like Elden Ring, but the overall shift of the sport itself as well as the philosophy shift from 2K has ruined that over the years :/

100% agree unfortunately.

I made a lot of tweaks to the base set. I’m getting good results and the CPU FT attempts are up. I set attack basket at 100.
I also tweaked the rebounding to get more offensive rebounds.

Hands at 10 cause nice organic animations.

Attempt dunk, Dunk in traffic frequently, dunk ability all dropped! You’ll still see dunks but they’ll be different animations with help D at 100. A lot of contact animation dunks and aggressive layups in traffic.

Re: NBA 2K22 "The Eccentric Edition" - Realistic NG Slider Set

The best thing about these sliders is open 3s are not 9/10 made shots. Very challenging, but fun.

Also I lowered Contest Shots in order to see more finishing at the rim and to see more jump shots go in. I see more 3 point plays when players drive to the basket. What you did with the defensive settings I think is the key to everything. I would not even think of touching them since the one thing that annoyed me most about this game other than the lack of fouls was open shots being almost automatic. This is the only slider set that seems to address that.

Just changed Contest Shot (35 User) (25 CPU)
Game speed 65

It's really hard to make shots. You have to look for good ones and only the really great players seem to be able to make difficult shots. I guess that is how it should be. This is a really challenging set I love the defense, but I will admit the game feels more like a 90s-2000s game rather than modern basketball. I haven't tried these in my league with my tendency tweaks yet. Only Play Now so far.

I can’t find away to miss FTs while using on real player ft%. But the other stats are pretty solid. I may tweak the consistency again to drop the scores a bit, but other than that, I love this set. I get breakaway dunks and some of the most dynamic animations around the rim.

Re: NBA 2K22 "The Eccentric Edition" - Realistic NG Slider Set

My goodness I have to say again these are the very best sliders I've used on PC current gen and I think I've tried a good amount from here, on YouTube and random sets from uploaded files online.

After examining what Eccentric has done there are a couple of things that stand out compared to other slider makers.

1. His philosophy on speed and acceleration uses much lower values than most others which usually lean towards default values or values that are way too high. Lower values IMO lead to more natural movement and this allows you to raise the game speed without the players looking herky jerky as they move. The game just looks and feels the most natural using low speed and acceleration settings. One thing for sure you need to use a game speed higher than 50 for things to work right. I'm at 65 now and honestly I think this can work at an even higher speed.

2. He also uses a different philosophy on the defensive slider section with very high values in this area. This leads to a lot of contact on drives and more fouls for the CPU and HUM, especially if you raise the Draw Fouls attributes for the players and raise Fouls and Hard Fouls tendencies for all the players.

I have no need to mess around with anymore gameplay sliders. This game still has a lot of flaws, but this slider set combined with ShadyMike tendency changes has me all set. I can finally start my league after owning the game going on 3 weeks.
