Great sliders so far! Question, I've been hearing other content creators and players stating not to use Isolation or Cutter for player play types. They say those break the game and mess up flow. What are your thoughts on that?

Really appreciate you telling me this lol. I felt completely at the disposal of the ai and couldn't change the game if it was going badly without these.

On another note, does everyone on next gen have the same issue I'm having where all the pre-game intros have completely disappeared and it jumps straight to tip off now? If so, what's the deal with that... If not, how do I get them back on lol. Ruins the immersion sometimes, not that I watch them every game bit for important games it helps.

Are you playing in the modern era?

A lot of the presentation elements are removed for earlier eras.

You will also lose some presentation elements if you are an expansion team or relocate a team*.

*I haven't tested it this year, but its been the case ever since they introduced the relocation feature and I haven't heard anything about it being fixed

The only problem I'm having is that Steve Francis is OP in my franchise. He's shooting near 60% from the field and gets several wide open dunks a game.

I'm thinking I found the culprit -- could be due to how low this set has the lateral quickness. For onball defenders its not a problem, but in replays it seems to be making it nigh impossible for the pick defender to cut off Francis' path to the basket.

To summarize, Francis is unstoppable on pick and rolls, and its because the offball pick defender is not able to cut off Francis' drive. I'm thinking boosting the lateral quickness would alleviate this. Would I need to decrease the on-ball defense to compensate?

As anyone tried it on current gen and can give a feedback on how the game feels with those sliders ?
Thanks

Re: NBA 2K23 "The Eccentric Edition" - Realistic Next-Gen Slider Set

hey!

just wondering what the best thing is to help lower shooting %?

The scores im getting are realistic but every game im shooting over 50% and the AI are shooting about the same as well.

I have followed all your recommended settings so any pointers would be very helpful!

I had the same issue and what helped get the shooting percentages to more realistic stats (range from 45% to 52%), was increasing Shot Coverage Impact to 50 and Contest Shot to 85. Hope this helps

I use a mix of these sliders for Current Get (Xbox One). These sliders are good. I mixed Eccentrics Sliders with CelticLG and Res2. Biggest changes I made were

-Shot Coverage Impact - 50
-Hustle - 85 (CPU much better at getting after the ball)
-Offensive Awareness - 80 (Defense is really good this year, this helps keep the ball moving and smarter shots by CPU)
-Defensive Awareness - 20 (Something I took/learned from CelticLG, lowering slider gets defense out of position which increases fouls/Freethrows. Very realistic)
-Look for Post Players - 80
- Attack the Basket - 25 (CPU is way to aggressive at trying to get to basket, lowering this slider helps gets more Mid and Three point shots)
-Contest Shots - 85

Overall, great slider set. Sliders are subjective, and I feel Eccentric's sliders are a good base. Tweak to suit your playstyle and visual appeal. Hope this helps.

Yea, I’ve been using higher Lateral Quickness in my current testing so I would definitely give that an increase. Decrease Body Up Sensitivity to compensate. On Ball Defense is really just a user preference type of slider, so raise or lower that based on how easy/difficult it is to shake average/poor defenders.

It depends why shooting %s are high. Usually the culprit is either poor defense allowing open shots in the paint, or too many contested shots in the paint going in anyway. Increase Lateral Quickness to help with poor defense, or decrease contact shot success to nerf scoring inside the paint.

That I couldn’t tell you, as I use auto playcalling and have never really delved into that aspect of the game. If the guys who know what they are talking about say something like that, I tend to take their word for it!

Hi EccentricMeat, I am going to try your sliders out and post some comments here, thank you for the great work and also clear writing and explanation in the first page. Though, one thing I would like to start asking is, the stamina and fatigue, do you have any clue how to fix those sliders just so that the players can be subbed in a realistic way? I am on 8mins per quarter, and have tried many different combos to edit these two sliders, still not working, CPU just keep doing whole squad subs, 5 in 5 out, and is killing me...

Hi again, EccentricMeat, sorry to ask another questions before you can read and respond to my previous ones, just wondering, if your sliders can fix the double team issue, CPU doesn't notice that there is a mismatch and whenever my big back down CPU's small after a switch during pnr, I can score/dunk in paint all day, also can your sliders set allow me to just switch to user timing? i hate real percentage...thank you.

Re: NBA 2K23 "The Eccentric Edition" - Realistic Next-Gen Slider Set

You seeing jump shot fouls? Fouls are way better than last year. Last year no matter what I did I would only see a average of like 18 FTA combined between the 2 teams and never a jump shot foul. This year I am having games with both teams at 20+ but still no jump shot fouls. Just found the old thread you made about shot defense strength sliders because I have always been so confused how they work lol. Going to try what you have the jump shot and layups ones at for your sliders because I have been getting mostly good results only fg % a little to high and its mostly been because scoring in the paint being a little to easy and not enough misses. But I don't want to lower close shot sliders to much because its more just not enough contest on close shots not so much that I am making to many hard layups or anything lol.

So do you do this just for CPU (leaving human settings per eccentric) or do you change both?
