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

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

No, but you might need to increase the Dunk tendency slider if the AI always settles for layups like they have in years past.

I played a game against the Grizzlies this weekend, and Ja Morant had 8(!!) dunks. So I wouldn’t increase Dunk Tendency from my brief experience with these.

Glad to hear I’m not the only one who prefers the higher Game Speed [emoji28]

Thanks man! Yea you can always do Real % instead of timing. I’m just going back to timing this year because 2K added a Shot Timing Impact slider, so we don’t have to deal with “green or miss” BS [emoji1305]

The next hurdle is balancing contested shots. This the nba we can’t always search for a open shot. A lot of defenders in the vicinity affect the release of the shot too much. I understand if a defender hand is up or doing a hard close out. But if I raise up and the defense the jump. I shouldn’t be shooting some bs fall away shot so much.

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

After suffering through a year of what might possibly be the worst game in NBA history, 2K21, THANKFULLY 2K came out with a chip on their shoulder and improved the offline gameplay by leaps and bounds. It really can't be over-stated, 2K22 is easily the best year-over-year improvement we have ever seen. Help defense is BY FAR the best and most realistic it has ever been. PnR defense functions realistically and with variety so that you don't always get the same reaction from the CPU, and (unlike 2K21) the hedge defender has a functioning brain this year

But with all that being said, there is always room for improvement. Tests to be run. Tweaks to be made. And this year, I'm getting to work early. I'll be starting off with a few simple tweaks that will give us a great base to work off of. We only need to change a few values here and there to see some drastic improvements to the look and feel of the game.

One of the main issues I'm seeing is that players with the ball don't have much straight-line sprint speed (most noticeable on fastbreaks), and it seems 2K has capped the Speed w/ Ball max because tweaking the attribute and/or maxing out the Speed with Ball (Max) sliders does nothing to make fast players move any faster with the ball. But don't worry, there's always a workaround. And that workaround is to increase Game Speed (which drastically improves the overall look and feel of the game anyway, IMO). From there, we just need to make a few more tweaks to compensate for the higher Game Speed and we're in business.

Injuries - On
Game Speed - 60
Shot Feedback - User Preference

Coach Settings

This camera view makes the game come ALIVE! It will take a few minutes to get used to, but I think that once you do you won't be able to play the game any other way. Especially if you're in MyNBA...

PLEASE post any and all CONSTRUCTIVE feedback, positive or negative, so that I know what people like about my slider set and what I need to improve on. Also, please post any and all personal findings and/or tweaks you've tried out. Try to point out what you are seeing too much of (ex. The AI attacks the basket too often), what you're not seeing enough of (ex. The AI does not go to the post often enough), etc. And also, it's just fun to see the results everyone is getting and to have a discussion on what can be improved/what should be left alone.

Check out this post by mvpstax to get a refresher on what exactly "realistic stats" should look like in the modern NBA: 2K21 Realistic Stats to Strive For

Have a question about sliders or want to know how to fix an issue you have with the gameplay? Ask it here and I'll do what I can to help you out! I try to make my posts as informational as possible so that everyone has the knowledge needed to tweak the game to their own preference and skill level. Teach a man to fish, and all that

And as always, PLEASE feel free to give my thread 5 stars and LIKE this post if you enjoy my work. It shows others that these are quality sliders, and it makes me feel a little warm inside, too.

Enjoy!

So through a half of basketball of testing. I’ve come to the realization that the shot timing impact slider is why the cpu shoots so poorly on default 50. No matter if you play on real% or user timing, the CPU always uses shot timing.

I suspect this was the case for 2K21 as well but we just didn’t have a slider for it. You can see it in some of the shot animations for poorly timed shots. The CPU who time poorly much too often leading to bad shooting percentages.

So long story short… I thing that you should 0 out the shot timing impact slider and then adjust shooting sliders from there if needed. I’ll do more testing, but honestly it’s pretty clear the effect this slider has in the game.

Hey Bro,

especially since 2k21, I like your slider sets very much.

I‘ve used your slider basis set and wanted to share my impressions on 12 Min Quarters:
- too much scoring for User
- FG too high for user, especially while it is very easy to attack the basket
- contested Jump Shots have a very low success rate for both, user and CPU
- too many inside attempts and field goals by CPU and User (around 40 attempts with over 75% success)
- too many PIP for User and CPU (around 70)
- compared to you, I‘ve adjusted dunking abilities and frequencies to 40 (user and CPU) which led to a good result
- also adjusted 3pt frequency to 70 for CPU, still not enough attempts (ca 30)
- literally no attempts from mid range from CPU

Everything else was great, I justed wanted to point out what felt not right, to share it with you.
Now I tried to adress the items mentioned above with some adjustments and will get back to you, when tested.

Thanks for the feedback! Yea, the current set only touches animations, movement, and nerfed the overly-sticky on-ball defense of the CPU. Tendencies and shot success need a complete overhaul, so no surprise with the issues you pointed out.

All of this and more will still be addressed in my future updates [emoji1303]

Thank you. I made a post about this yesterday. At zero the percentage is high for both teams but im sure you guys will work your magic.

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

- contested Jump Shots have a very low success rate for both, user and CPU

I've noticed this as well...with one caveat: I use Real% shooting.

It seems to me if any jump shot is contested, it's a sure miss. And the inverse is true as well...any open jump shot is likely to go in.

Sure, certain players who aren't good jump shooters will still miss open shots, but overall it's very much a problem I think. There is a slider for that, so I guess it's time to mess with it and see what can be done to improve things.

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

My first game the field goal percentages felt a little unrealistically high. So I made it more challenging for myself and made them a little harder. Second game I tried to get mid range shots, a couple of my key players got in foul trouble and I played behind the whole game but never could get in any kind of flow like my first game. My third I didn't have flow but my team became streaky. Some of the same plays worked everytime...most all of them did. And I was hitting 3s at will. But for life of me this game does not want or care about the mid range game. People would be right inside the three after a screen and recieve the ball and just kinda float behind the 3. Anyway I am using real % but Iam hitting a lot so I'll tweak that again.

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

I was having some really good results until I got into a streak of winning against lower standing teams by outrageous margins. Was about to go tweak some stuff but had an amazing back and forth game against the Pelicans. Both teams had near 30+ Attempts from three with a realistic percentage of makes. All other stats were even. I’m finding some very good games against teams that are playing well, but the bottom feeder teams I am winning by way too many points. Gotta find a tweak to make those weak teams competitive.

Overall the sliders are still awesome. No three games are the same!
