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

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

I’ve never played the WNBA portion so I’m not sure! I know the different MyNBA Eras gameplay is a little different than other eras, so I would assume they made the WNBA gameplay more distinct as well.




Interesting if that’s the case. I know the online crowd said to disable it just so that you had full control of which hand you start a dribble combo with, but I hadn’t heard anything about actual responsiveness or anything else. I’ll definitely try it out!




Very soon! I’ve been playing EA FC 25 the last few days, or else the update would have already been posted 🫣




OKC are broken this year so I’m not surprised you’ve been having it easy [emoji28]

Try using a different team and play against OKC, is it still easy? Because I hated testing against them, they just dominated me time after time lol

I increased difficulty for myself by editing the roster and increasing the Dish to Open Man tendency as well as the tendency called something like “Finish Aggressive After Drive” or something like that. Give those an increase and you should get a more aggressive and deliberate offense by the CPU. I did a +10 to both for the entire roster. I also increased the Draw Foul and Take Charge tendencies by 10 as well, which gave a LOT more foul calls and charge attempts. And I also gave everyone a +1 to these Badges: Glove, Interceptor, Lightning Launch, and Pick Dodger.

Give those roster tweaks a try and let me know!

I tried to use Nola ... really nice team to use, but I'll tell you, I didn't notice any differences compared to OKC, better this way. I just wish the CPU was a little more difficult to limit in the offensive phase

@EccentricMeat Are you telling me that okc is bug or that it is simply very strong ?? I want to play my rs with okc!?

Bugged? Not at all! They just have agile on ball defenders everywhere, a bit of an OP rim protector in Chet, great help defense (which is rarely needed since they stonewall everyone on the perimeter already), and shooters across the board. They’re a headache to play against, but not bugged in any way.

Did you try those roster tweaks i mentioned? The badges and tendency edits make any team a lot more of a challenge IMO.

Ok thanks for the eccentric feedback! No unfortunately I have not tried to modify the roster, can I also do it in my regular season already started?I have never changed the roster and I don't know how to do it ... I'm Italian and I don't understand exactly what and where I have to operate. If you could tell me exactly how to do it ... Otherwise don't worry. Thank you again

Might have missed this somewhere along the way, but just read your OP where you described the game with your test sliders. I believe the Off.Consistency slider was the key to that back and forth game. It’s one ShadyMike used in a set way back and I’ve noticed that it really makes for more streaks and runs (which basketball is a game of runs as we know!). Definitely has been an under utilized slider in most sets I’ve seen.

Nice work as always!

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

@EccentricMeat Hi, I modified the roster as you said, +10 Take Charge, +10 Foul Tendency, +10 Dish Open Man, +10 aggressive finishes ... and also +1 to the badges indicated. Now I try how it goes. Are the correct changes?

Absolutely! Sometimes it’s a little TOO good at causing streaks, as I will go ice cold for minutes at a time as the CPU runs up the score, but then I can claw back if I play smart. Definitely not an experience everyone will prefer, but I’m kind of loving it.

Yup, those are correct. Should make things a little more dynamic for sure.

It certainly feels like it [emoji41]

I just had a really good game against Memphis and late in the game, I just went to defense strategies and took them off the three-point line.

The whole team was killing me, but that’s probably the best one I’ve had because normally I lose that game, but I kept battling, and it made it a chess match til the end of the game. Learning how to play defense is important.

You have to withstand runs by playing basketball not just jacking and playing D

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

Eccentric, in terms of defensive settings, what would you change to get more switching from the CPU? I'm trying to emulate more of that modern style we see today where ball handlers will take advantage of switches in the pick and roll.

I play mostly CpuvCPU.

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

Eccentric,

I've used your fantastic sliders as a base to make my own tweaks so maybe I set something off, but do you know what might help the AI pass the ball around about more? I'm having a lot of plays of the AI trying to power through my defender. It works if it's Kevin Durant, but you also have 6'1 guards trying to power through Luka Doncic and they just keep hitting a brick wall. Would be more beneficial for them to distribute the ball and try to find a shot other than repeatedly running into a defender and falling back.

Just to add, my main tweaks were lowering shooting sliders to 50, and 53 for 3PT. This has brought my shooting numbers to an acceptable low 49% (high 48% CPU). I also increased Steals to 65, Blocks to 60 and Offensive Rebounds to 55. My steals and blocks numbers are now almost identical to what the Mavs averaged as a team in 23-24 although Offensive Rebounding is still lowest in the league (which I can kinda understand given Lively/Gafford are my only rebounders and Luka is usually out on the perimeter).

Thanks!

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

Just curious with the tweaks you made, did you adjust shooting for both user and CPU, or just user? I'm also consistently shooting ~60% with the CPU shooting ~40%, so I might try something similar.

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

Hi Eccentric, I found an excellent balance by modifying a few things to your excellent set. Now I find it really competitive!MID RANGE AND 3PT SUCCES CPU 57 AND 56, user 59 and 59. The first 5 slides of the attributes section all 48/48. Shooting Foul -2 for the CPU. Really nice like that! I shared them as "eccentric mod hard".

Eccentric we are eager for the release of the official sliders!

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

These are really good. I wish we could find a way to make the game a little more wide open in open floor. The problem I see is players don’t fill their lanes properly. Any idea how to fix this?
