NBA 2K25 "The Eccentric Edition" - Realistic Slider Set

Re: NBA 2K25 "The Eccentric Edition" - Realistic Slider Set

Patch 1.4 will be released today, we hope it will solve the problem of rotations. From the notes it is not clear, it only talks about players in hot streak

Great job Eccentric! The defensive sliders are on point, absolutely loving the fastbreak opportunities.

One question: Does the 'Contest Shots' slider make defenders close out/contest shots more aggressively?

I love when defenders bite on pumfakes but it seems they never jump on mid-range shots, which it's a shame because I would love to draw fouls on them lol.

Hi Eccentric, do you have any MyNBA sliders for progression, contracts, trades etc? Thanks

Man, I have never gone up the Hall of Fame before, but I like how these are playing so far. I’ve got to go work a football game, but I’m going to finish tonight but they feel pretty good. Maybe this is the year that I can bump up and still feel the same thing I did when I was playing down.

When do you think you’re going to update?

Rotations work a lot better

Re: NBA 2K25 "The Eccentric Edition" - Realistic Slider Set

Slider are great but one of my main issues is how slow the players feel. I don't feel explosive while I'm holding down turbo and driving past players.

What slider effect that?

No sliders affect that, just the Speed with Ball attribute (used to be a slider a few years ago, unfortunately 2K took that away from us though), as well as the Game Speed setting. If you want everyone to feel a little faster with the ball you can increase the Game Speed setting, but this will make all animations faster as well as the movement of the ball in the air (on shots or passes) as well as making movement feel a little more floaty.

Check out the link in my signature for a quick breakdown of all the speed/movement related attributes/sliders/settings and make whatever tweaks you deem necessary! Though I would note, players don't feel like they lack explosiveness if you utilize the new launches correctly. I believe I linked a YT video from Kevin Cruz in that thread as well that gives a quick tutorial on how to use the new launches.

The TLDR of the video: Use a diagonal flick of the RS (toward your off-hand and toward the basket) to launch and attack the basket at speed. You can end basically any dribble combo with this diagonal flick, so get the defender shifting left or right and then explode into the lane.

Thanks Eccentric changing those defensive sliders down are felt way better also changed lay up to low risk/reward too and liked it better to have some control. You keeping body sensitivity @85 I got mine at 50 for now. Was gonna see what you think or if you made any other changes.

I currently have Body Up Sensitivity at 75 in my testing, just because it looked nicer next to the 25 for Pass Speed lol. Not seeing much difference, but I like the higher Body Up Sensitivity either way. Especially once you get a hang of the dribbling, it can become a little too easy to blow-by defenders with this setting at lower values.

Patch 1.4 will be released today, we hope it will solve the problem of rotations. From the notes it is not clear, it only talks about players in hot streak

Yea the hot streaks are what was causing the subs issue in the first place. If you went to the Substitution menu in-game, you would see basically every player flagged as hot and thus the game would not sub them out. Luckily the patch worked and this is no longer an issue

I love when defenders bite on pumfakes but it seems they never jump on mid-range shots, which it's a shame because I would love to draw fouls on them lol.

I haven't done any in-depth testing of the slider, but I get plenty of bites on pump fake attempts and defenders almost always at least attempt to close out on a shot, so I tell myself that it's the Contest Shot tendency driving that behavior lol not exactly an exact science, but it works for me.

Maybe I should actually do a little testing on that one

Hi Eccentric, do you have any MyNBA sliders for progression, contracts, trades etc? Thanks

I haven't jumped into MyNBA just yet but I think I might tonight! Once I'm happy with these test settings I'm gonna jump into a Steph Era save and use some of the actual fun rosters that used to make up the NBA (I am incredibly bored of the modern teams, if I'm being honest). Hopefully the sliders carry over seamlessly to the Steph Era, we shall see!

For any MyNBA settings and sliders, I would recommend keeping an eye out for SimGamingNetwork on YT. He's who I usually trust for MyNBA sliders, as he has put a heavy focus on those since the first day they were implemented years ago. Once he gets around to playing 2K this year, I'm sure he'll get a video posted with his MyNBA scenario and settings. In the meantime, if I make any tweaks to the mode that provide good results I'll be sure to post them here

Sooo great to see you back man!

Great to have a 2K worth playing again! I can’t wait to use your guys’ roster once it’s ready, a little more TLC to player tendencies and badges is exactly what this game needs to truly hit GOAT status IMO.

Total long shot, but do you know if anyone plans to overhaul the Steph or Lebron era with your system?

What do you think about what say Walterbarrypaok in the section sliders?

Re: NBA 2K25 "The Eccentric Edition" - Realistic Slider Set

@EccentricMeat goooood sliders man

To give you my feedback I only notice one thing that I think should be changed. In my opinion, the players are a little "slow", especially as they attack the basket, In LayUp.

I really don’t feel like they are. Have you learned the new dribble launches and speed boosts? When using the right launches to attack the basket, I feel players are plenty fast and explosive. If you use the wrong launches it can definitely feel slow, especially when the player takes a wide angle around the defender to attack the basket.

You can increase Game Speed to make all animations faster, but the game looks and feels too jittery and floaty IMO. It might be worth looking at the roster and raising the Speed with Ball attribute across the board, as that will also speed up players and make them more explosive. It’s a shame 2K took away our ability to set this with sliders a couple years ago, I thought the system back then was just about perfect for customization.

What do you think about what say Walterbarrypaok in the section sliders?

His suggestions might work on higher game speeds, but decreasing the speed and agility movement sliders (and setting Agility to 0) will make movement far too slow and stagnant, and attacking the basket will be laughably easy. Also not a fan of the idea of dropping the Take 3pt Shot tendency, as there are already too few three pointers in most games. Maybe in older eras? But not a good idea in the modern era if you’re looking for a realistic flow and shot distribution IMO. I could try it just to make sure, but my assumption is it will lead to even more tentative perimeter shooting and far too many points in the paint.

And setting Offensive Rebounding to 70? Idk, might lead to too many, or it might lead to more tipped rebounds and better animations (you can see the laughable “attempts” at offensive rebounds at the default setting of 50). I like what I see when I use a team like the Timberwolves, as Rudy fights for the offensive rebounds and that leads to a lot of tipped up rebounds and loose ball situations. So maybe jacking up the slider will give that experience to every team? Definitely worth trying out.

Re: NBA 2K25 "The Eccentric Edition" - Realistic Slider Set

When do you think you'll be ready to release your first official set of sliders?

[EccentricMeat]

Re: NBA 2K25 "The Eccentric Edition" - Realistic Slider Set

Probably very soon. With the rotation problem fixed it’s now worth jumping in to MyNBA, building a fun team, and testing the sliders in some games I actually care about instead of just in random test Play Now games. Shouldn’t be too long now!

Do we change game speed or cpu and human Speed slider?

You can change Game Speed but that will make everything faster and more floaty. The Speed slider has nothing to do with how fast players move with the ball in their hands, that is solely down to the Speed with Ball attribute (not available as a slider) and/or the Lightning Launch badge. Increasing Speed with Ball or adding/increasing the Lightning Launch badge will make players quicker while dribbling, but obviously requires editing the roster. I did a quick mass edit of everyone's Speed with Ball attribute, increasing it by 5 for all players (just click X on the SWB attribute column in quick edit and it will modify the entire roster at once), which gave a nice little boost to dribble speed without making the game feel as loose and floaty as increasing Game Speed tends to do.

Check out the link in my signature for more information about speed and movement if you want an in-depth description for how it all works.

I tried your sliders last night and really enjoyed the game

Thanks for your work!
