Rashidi´s corner: The Real 2K Insider ...

Re: Rashidi´s corner: The Real 2K Insider ...

Not arguing but I am impress that you seem to know more than I do about his way of doing things ... yes, it is sarcasm ... and yes, it will hopefully not happen again .

well, he sure as hell never says a single word about the gameplay side of things, does he ? All you read is "grumble, grumble, player gets too many points, grumble, grumble, 2K screwed this up, grumble, grumble, stats are off ..." , isn´t it ?

While i really appreciate the work he puts into it and while i played with his rosters religiously for many years, the trend for him clearly has gone to more and more complicated analysis and away from actually testing how the game plays with his roster. He shouldn´t make a "port" of synergy, but look how it can be used to affect the gameplay.

How you figure he doesnt test anything?

Thankfully you appreciate the work he puts into it ... (yes, more sarcasm from me) ...

Lets see, he addresses:
- Individual ratings, affect the players effectiveness in different areas on court
- Individual tendencies, affect the players behavior on the court
- Coaching profiles, affect how the group of players act as a unit
yet ... I wonder if that has some relation to gameplay (oops i did it again, but cant help it) ...

Bottom line, his analisys might be complicated (which I disagree, they are more indepth, which is a sign of his experience and dedication), they might be too sentimental (which is the result of years and years of continuosly facing bad default rosters, with recurrent mistakes and overlooks) and he might be a little arrogant at times (not arguing that, but so does Kobe, for the record) ... but all his work is intended/centered to provide us the best gameplay possible.

You might argue about sim stats results and other areas like fairness of trades and payer values ... you can or cant agree with the results of his work ... you may even like others work ... but there absolutelly no doubt or denyal of what he intends.

hehe ... I might start asking for a fee ... hehe ... but really, I just dont like when peopple say comments lightly ... as a roster editor myself, I just feel disrespected when someone tries to demenish the effort we do in order to make the "gameplay" experience better ... be it Nogster, DC, Portlandblazer, Rashidi or any other worthy/venerable roster editor.

Re: Rashidi´s corner: The Real 2K Insider ...

i dont get it.
He hasnt even edited touches for anyone.
This year that is single handedly the most important thing to edit and he hasnt.

Rashidi is more into making the game mathematically accurate to real life than to making the cpu play a better, more realistic game. or the simmed stats better.

His rosters [once they are actually completed, which takes months generally] are great for multiplayer, because you know you are playing with the most on point mathematically accurate ratings, but single player. its lacking. or at least its lacking currently. because its not even close to being completed. and the cpu plays the same way they do out of the box.

the 1st thing he shouldve done once he was notified of how huge touches is. is adjust it for the community that uses his rosters.

If you adjust the touches tendencies, and adjust some playbooks to 2ks rosters, it will play a better cpu game than rashidi's roster. significantly better. Its just not as well rated.

He hasnt even put out a update yet with the tendencies, he also was one of the first people to mention the touch tendencies...

He last update for 2k10(synergy update) did wonders for gameplay and the sim stats were pretty decent as well...

ffaacc, can u plz ask rashidi if he or u can release a spreadsheet for the pc community?

I believe I was the 1st person to discover the issue and I posted it on his thread. The one where he went into detail about how larmacus aldridge and some other bigs were taking all the shots. etc..I posted the reason why that happens.
Not that it matters as Im sure he wouldve discovered it on his own in time.

He talked about it in his blog the day after release, Im not concern who was first, im just saying that he is aware of the problem.

Here's the link to the thread you mentioned

http://www.operationsports.com/vBull...m-results.html

and it seems you missed this

RASHIDI! NOT SO FAST! WHAT ABOUT THE TOUCHES TENDENCY!?

Ah, yes, you're right. The dreaded "touches" tendency that has lead to star players averaging 40 shots per game without fail.

Let's just say Synergy will help me out with that one too.

As anyone who played Ogre Battle: March of the Black Queen will tell you... the magician never reveals his secrets

Here's the link to the thread you mentioned

Extremely concerning CPU sim results

and it seems you missed this

If you look at the date of his blog mentioning the touches and how synergy will help him with it. its 5 days after I mentioned it on his "extremely concerning thread".
Yes. he wouldve realised it on his own. I dont doubt that.
What I dont understand is, Why has he released rosters without adjusting this vitally important tendency?
in 2k11. its the most important number to adjust for a decent single player experience.

Plenty of people are enjoying the game with 2k's rosters...

Nothing out of the ordinary here. Not sure if Touch tendency is too high or not, would need to make some comparisons. Lets continue to Aldridge's Freelance tendencies.

That was in his first blog
