TOMBA 2K9 FINAL

Re: TOMBA 2K9 FINAL

No, no, no. This IS the roster/ slider set for assoc. Just review & change potential to your liking (which I did also) 4 correct plr progression. I also edited salaries cause there have been some extensions plus some of the CAP's were WAY off!
Nogsters rosters r also AWESOME 4 assoc but the same things need correcting.
btw MPrior, how does Kerry Wood get a 2yr $20 mil contract? (sorry off-topic but had to get that out of my system)

Do you mean individually change the players' potential ratings?

I took the rosters and sliders into association, and they seem to work perfectly. Not sure if all the incoming rookie class needs to be edited. So far so good. The game plays SO much better.

Re: TOMBA 2K9 FINAL

I've played a few games with the set on default and found it a bit too easy. Bumped up the difficulty to All-star and tweaked the shooting sliders and the numbers looked good now.

The main problem I have with this final set is you can't establish a low post offense. As soon as you get the ball in the post you immediately get double teamed every time. there is no variation in the defense.

what do you guys suggest should be done to fix this.

Re: TOMBA 2K9 FINAL

Tomba I played 3 complete games with your roster / slider set.
As I wanna help you I tell you what I noticed:

- too many 3PT attempts
- too high FG % (above 55% evey game for both teams)
- fouls are really low

I hope you can look at this and address those things!
Many thanks for your hard work!!

Summary

There's no real way to really end what I've done other than to say this will be it...
I am stepping down from the slider and roster game so that others can take over and use what I've gained as knowledge so that they can now make rosters in this sort of way as it is truly the ONLY WAY to start making games playable for us die-hards. The mentality has to be passed on and it is my hope through my years at work at it that had me reiterating constantly the importance of speed edits finally sinks in. This was NEVER a gimmic or a trick, just what I felt, experimented with and have come to terms with as being true. Sports games have to "look right" and it is through this obsession of speed that I have been able to make these games playable for many of you. I've gotten great responses and feedback from the community and I hope this can continue by having the logic I set forth about speed and the triggering of animations be used for years to come...

It is with great admiration of all fellow roster makers past present and future that I pass this on...

It's ok to adjust foul settings and sliders to your liking. We all do not play the same way and we all do not want the same stats and with that being the case we will have different results when using a set of sliders.
Thanks for the hard work Tomba

very well said tomba... you deserve this rest.. thanks for everything man... your work is very much appreciated... that is why KG, me, and the others are trying to work on your sliders to address issues found by other users of your set...

others were having issues with the game speed but we stand on what we believe is best for this game, stick with your game speed, player speed and quickness edits...

Re: TOMBA 2K9 FINAL

How can we get rid of the constant double teaming in the post?

Re: TOMBA 2K9 FINAL

How can we get rid of the constant double teaming in the post?

Lower the User Strength slider and raise the CPU Strength one. What's causing the constant double teaming is the fact that EVERY CPU player will defend the post like Earl Boykins, so the CPU will always need to call a double team to stop ridiculously easy baskets. I see what Tomba did there, as it's good strategy to double up star bigs in the post, thus creating space on the perimeter, but it's not realistic when it happens all the time.

And to Tomba, thank you for all the hard work. You certainly proved a point with your sets and helped create a much more enjoyable game. I'm sticking with Youngn's sliders because of the challenge they provide, but I've tested your edits and they REALLY do what they're supposed to. They play a lovely game of basketball. Thank you, once again.

Re: TOMBA 2K9 FINAL

hey guys,i'm a new user in OS,but I'm used to in checking out some 2k9 help from some of you. Well...since i don't have Xbox Live,I just edited mine myself...the game sliders(which I edited,because of being
sometimes...too easy),the coach profiles,the camera(i changed the height to 8,i think this is the height of the broadcast in ESPN),sounds,and of course...the Player Ratings...(the speed,quickness,hustle,etc..) I did all of these in 3 days,in 4 hours...
The most difficult part in this is editing all the players I mean...almost 480 players?edited one-by-one??...but It's worth it...i played Hornets vs. Heat,then i see CP3 dishing alley-oops to Tyson...David West shooting mid range jumpers,D wade driving with those layups and dunks,Shawn shooting from the corner(with the ugly form)and etc...but the best thing is...they move more realistic...Nice job Tomba
