Armor & Sword’s "Average Joe” NBA 2K22 Pro Real FG%/FT% Custom Sliders (PS5/X/S)

Re: Armor & Sword’s "Average Joe” NBA 2K22 Pro Real FG%/FT% Custom Sliders (PS5/X/S)

Anyone else get to the 4th quarter with the players gassed out? Most games I’m losing because I can’t keep up with the cpu with players in this state.

Sliders are great and the outcomes always feel fair and consistent.

Was down by at least 10 for the first 2 1/2 quarters finally closed the gap heading into the 4th had it all tied up at 90. Then my shooting fell apart. Definitely another case of a closer game than the score leads you to believe. Man I'm terrible at this game. I should start sticking with one team to get better at the game overall.

I am not having that problem. I handle all my subs . I do not set them to auto and I make sure I am using timeouts as well.

It says I need to establish a report with the coach or something. It’s greyed out.

When you’re playing as the GM you need to develop a report the coach to a certain score level to be able to unlock the ability to change the setting

I have a question for your armor and anyone that does sliders. What do you think of this stat pic? I play 8 min quarters and i was the nets. I use real fg for shooting and user timing for free throws

That makes sense but doesnt this ‘all manual’ approach not do well with the Average Joe mentality? I was looking for the game to sort our mostly everything and let me focus on playing the game. Something like letting the coach handle gameplans, starting fives, timeouts, let the staff handle the training, etc. makes sense since you’re supposed to be the GM and not everyone at the same time.

I think handling my own rotation is a basic function of coaching a basketball game and quite simple compared to all the game adjustments.

The reason I do not let the CPU handle rotations is the exact reason you are having that fatigue issue. It is not hard and I have been doing that with basketball games forever.

Average Joe is meant of on court skills. Not for coaching or running a front office.

That is the area of the game where I have a great handle on what I need to do.

I do not have the “stick skills” nor the deep knowledge of play calling so that is dialed down with pro level sliders and auto play-calling both on offense and defense.

I will be making some adjustments to the MyNBA settings for that other poster in regards to having menus locked because of the “MyGM” features being turned on.

I want all menus unlocked. I don’t really care about the “relationship” features after playing around with them. They are cumbersome and random.

I thought long and hard about this.....and decided to go ahead and post this “Average Joe” Pro Level Slider Set. I know there are those like me out there who are 50 something....love playing sports video games but want a simulation like experience with little to no hassle and not sweating the small stuff. I love 2K22. It is my first 2K since 2K18 and easily my favorite version of the game of all time. 2K11, 2K16, 2K18 and now 2K22 are my top games in the series.



So is this set for you? Answer these questions:





What is a “Average Joe" and will this set appeal to you?



1) Are you a long time sports gamer who grew up on Tecmo Super Basketball, Celtics vs Lakers, NBA Live 1995, NBA Live 2005, NBA 2K11? And you simply do not have the insane stick skills to use the shot meter, and chain together move after move? Do you play pure team basketball, want player ratings to be the absolute end all in the dice roll result in how the teams perform? Are you simply not a cheeser?



2) Do you like to run plays 80-90% of the time with some free style mixed in on breaks, loose balls and some run n gun?



3) Do you like to use full play art but other than that have a totally clean screen and play from the broadcast camera view?



4) Do you want ACE to determine everything for you so you can focus on just playing ball and allowing your coaches gameplan and the vastly improved AI to handle defensive match-ups, rebounding aggressiveness, double teams, hedges, pick and roll strategy etc etc, while you simply run the floor and work the ball?



5) Are you not totally OCD about stats that you will get slideritis? Will you enjoy the game as long as it plays smooth and true to life? Are you a hardcore Myleague/MyGM player that will let the universe take it's own course and not get bogged down in setting every little thing up for all 32 teams? (if you do that's ok but time spent playing is better use of time IMO) The only thing I do take control over is lopsided trades (what I deem just pure fleecing between the CPU teams) and mitigate injuries if for some reason they get out of hand to the point of "not realistic" territory.



6) These sliders are not tested nor designed for use with THE SHOT STICK. Period. If you use the shot stick I can't answer any questions regarding using these with the shot stick. If you want to try it...by all means. I don't use it nor will test with it.



7) These sliders are designed an tested using only the Broadcast Camera View



8) These sliders were tested exclusively on the PS5 Console



If you answered yes to all those questions.....this very well may be the slider set for you.



As always, please use it as a base....tweak to your skill level or desired outcomes in various area’s of the game.



I am not going to be active in terms of answering every question. I will post the slider set and then go have fun!!!!

I am using Clutch’s roster and here is his PSN and he has a thorough thread about his roster which is fantastic.

I've been gaming all my life...how is it I cannot figure out how to manual sub in this game..i'm getting no coaching menus during timeouts to control anything and I'm using ur settings. so weird.
This hurts to say but have they overcomplicated this mode? And all of my settings are set to manual sub, timeout, etc. Is it something I need to do at the initial Franchise screen?? this is so frustrating lol. It's almost as if I'm playing as an owner and not coach. I wish there were a basic way to play just as a coach in this game. Im all for detail but this is too much for me...i just want to play/coach.

During timeouts in the top left it says "be a coach" or something like that and to access that is the square button. Should be what you're looking for.
