    Could be difficulty setting then. Superstar is where I am now and see misses.

        That's the only blemish I see with this game.

        Not sure about CPU but for USER are you playing with real player or timing for free throw shooting? I believe the patch a few days ago was supposed to make it so that free throw shooting difficulty slider is supposed to work better now if you are using timing.

          Excited to give these a try!!! I tried to hold off on 2k23 for as long as I could, but eventually tired of Madden for a bit, saw the sale and couldn't resist. Now what to do- build the Bulls dynasty over again, or take it down? Plus as Kobe was my favorite player, I'm so excited to play as that Lakers team. Previously I would import it at times but it just didn't feel right.

            Game plays great Armor!! As a way to kind of handicap myself, I went with the 83 bulls, tanked and simmed the first season in order to draft Michael. The 91 Bulls are just too damn good, but its really fun to play in a league/era when the game plays so much differently. I had to actively nerf myself and not shoot 3's, as that is not part of 80's basketball. I figured a young MJ/plus other young players I have around him will be a great foil and matchup to the 76ers/Celtics/and Pistons in the East, and still pose a challenge while utilizing this gameplay. Now I see why you've been quiet in the Madden thread lol.

              I use Real FT% as you all know and it’s something I live with in terms of maybe FT% being too high sometimes. I do see the CPU miss and I miss as well but I have not been able to do anything about it via sliders.

              I just roll with it.

                So I gave this a try my last game. I switched to timing just for FT and maxed out the difficulty. I shot 12 of 16 and the CPU actually shot 9 of 14. Now it was only one game but it was good to see.

                On a side note, Bernard King lit me up for 50 points. There was nothing I could do to stop him. Even though I was on the losing end, it was so much fun to watch.

                  As a casual player checking out all the different eras, should I use the base sliders or implement the Jordan Era edits? Thanks!

                    Armor, I hope I didn't ruin the scope and nature of all your hard work, but am ready to end the Lakers/Celtics/Pistons dynasty in year of MJ's draft!!!

                    Of course, this may have something to do with me completely dismantling and trading all my assets, and drafting the first four players in that draft... Not sure how long I'll run with them, but should be fun!!!

                      I would start with the base, and then adjust from there. These sliders are excellent. The only thing I have adjusted is human mid range I bumped to 46 and I also bumped human 3 point a couple notches. (Should note I use the square button to shoot). I have been playing as the 83-84 Sonics and having great games. I have also been randomly playing games in the Jordan era (before I start one with my Knicks and see if I can finally get them past Jordan). I used the same settings that I have for the Bird era and again have gotten great results. In both era's I have had shootouts and also defensive struggles where every basket felt like a chore.

                        I would use the Jordan Era Edits as a casual player if you are struggling with th Bird/Magic ERA base set. However like someone suggested....you could use the base set plate a bunch of games and adjust from there.

                          Just started playing and can tell this is going to be a game I thoroughly enjoy. Only thing I can't settle on is the camera view since regular Broadcast isn't available, and I'm not 100% on some of the other options. What are you all using and are you making any adjustments to those cameras?

                            I believe Armor uses Side 1, 6 with zoom off. Its what I've been using as well and it looks great. I just keep switching between the era filters because the 80s one can look rough!! The 90's/00's is much better for obvious reasons, but im going with a 80's Bulls rebuild.

                              Armor, without saying its too easy etc- I understand the "Average Joe" point of your sliders, and dont want to diminish your hard work, as I use your sliders on Madden as well- what would be most important metric to show you/or decide what changes I should make?

                              I do use the auto plays sometimes, but also enjoy a free flowing Pnr offense. Let me know what you would want to know in order to recognize what I should adjust.

                              There's part of me that things there could be some algorithm/ spreadsheet that an user could plug in their results in, and automatic changes could be suggested to follow the spirit of the sliders. I dont mean work that you would do, but could there be some user generated universal google spreadsheet or something that we could derive, and go across multiple games/generations. It could also contain the various dice rolls that you suggest specifically for 32 team controls. Apologies if Im riffing, as its just something that ive been thinking about quite a lot

                                I do approach 2k a bit differently. I generally follow Armor's threads for the conversation as opposed to the actual sliders. Nice and drama free in the threads.

                                I use the 2k camera and zoom in so I feel like I am on the court. I also play on a higher difficulty. But as I said, I am here for the discussions that take place. Just the camera angle I use. Just wanted to share.
