Pared's NBA 2k10 Tweaks (Post-Patch Updates in first post)

Pared - excellent job with these!

Just to add my two cents on these with the new patch:
Prior to the patch I was using these sliders w/ no edits and OSv5 rosters (played PERFECTLY). I cleared everything and downloaded the new patch. Now with the same settings following the new patch I notice CPU on-ball defense is now ole' defense (in the words of Steve Lavin), and user blocks seem high. I'm not seeing any of the 3 pt. issues that others speak of, however. Haven't had a chance to play around with tweaks to the sliders but hopefully will tonight and can update more then.

Just finished a couple of games. Upping on ball defense for the cpu seemed to mostly do the trick to fix the driving issue. I also upped to all-star level just to see if it made a difference and that seemed to balance things out a bit too. Fouls still seem a little high. The 3pt bug reared its ugly head several times, but that apparently isn't slider related so I think I'm on 2k hiatus until it gets fixed (without sacrificing player roles - fingers crossed!) or until I am left with no alternative.

What 3 point bug is this that everyone is speaking about? Haven´t seen nothing bad related to 3 point shooting yet with the new patch...

If you leave a big man too much space while he's behind the 3 point line, they will launch a 3 even if their tendency is set to 0. For example, in my last Association game, I was up by 6 or 7 points with 40 seconds left on the clock. The Magic had possession and for some reason Dwight was out on the perimeter with the ball. I decided to sag off him and he quickly launched a three early in the shot clock. Needless to say, it was a brick. They managed to get the offensive rebound, only to pass it to Elton Brand (he got traded there) who proceeded to launch another three when I sagged off again, this time missing everything.

So yeah, big men now seem a little too eager to launch threes when they get too much space.

Other than that, I think the difficulty will need to be upped to All-Star like ProfAk47 noted because it's now way too easy to get past defenders, even with the On-Ball Defense slider upped.

Apart from these two things, the game plays much smoother now, so hopefully minimal tweaks will be needed.

I absolutely love these sliders and how it makes the game play Pared but I just cannot get around every year.......Pro is just too easy......even with these tweaks......I don't cheese the cpu, I don't switch on defense, I don't abuse iso......I just run the plays the cpu calls.....But I still find it too easy to beat my man off the dribble, using the tripple threat the dribble moves...I also find my men get open too easily when I'm running them off screens and use lead passing to make them drift out a bit more when they catch it......My dudes are always wide open when I do that but thats basketball....

Raising specific ratings doesn't help me cause I think my problem with pro is what it always is....the cpu doesn't seem aggressive enough....Even if they're winning, it still dosn't feel like the cpu is beating me......It seems more like I'm holding back to keep a competitive game......

However, good news is that many of your sliders transfer over to HOF so still, thanks for the sliders.......

Re: Pared's NBA 2k10 Tweaks (Post-Patch Updates in first post)

hmm...interesting. I need another way to decrease the effective of the pick & roll for myself. I get way too many easy PIPs and even though the rest of the game stat & gameplay wise is challenging, the Pick & Roll can be a "cheat" in some cases.

Yeah, I never call for the pick and roll........I just run it when the cpu calls it.....

I raised the play passing lanes slider to about 70 and its helped a bit....

Ooooh... I know whay im not seeing it! I play "Season" mode, not "Association" (hate trades, budgets, etc... i just like the on-court stuff).

I upped the difficulty to All-Star on these sliders, and i liked them better than on Pro after this latest patch...

Yes, you can up the difficulty to AS but once you go higher than that it gets a little ridiculous. Pro has a more balanced attack by the CPU than AS but as you all know, it's a bit easier once you've played for quite a while.

I absolutely love these sliders and how it makes the game play Pared but I just cannot get around every year.......Pro is just too easy......even with these tweaks......I don't cheese the cpu, I don't switch on defense, I don't abuse iso......I just run the plays the cpu calls.....But I still find it too easy to beat my man off the dribble, using the tripple threat the dribble moves...I also find my men get open too easily when I'm running them off screens and use lead passing to make them drift out a bit more when they catch it......My dudes are always wide open when I do that but thats basketball....

I'm glad it works for you. Personally, the CPU attack is way too disjointed on HOF for me to recommend it to anyone else.

But again, if it works for you, awesome.

Re: Pared's NBA 2k10 Tweaks (Post-Patch Updates in first post)

these sliders are working great for me but the one thing that is killing me is that my team keeps double teaming the ballhandlers and leaving wide open threes.....i don't know if this is the sliders or my coach settings or what? I lowered my coach setting double team down to 40 and double teams are on auto. Should I lower it even more and do I have to put double teams on never in the matchup screen before every game?

[Pared]

Re: Pared's NBA 2k10 Tweaks (Post-Patch Updates in first post)

Never. Call for the double manually with the button.

Re: Pared's NBA 2k10 Tweaks (Post-Patch Updates in first post)

Pared,

are you going to put a new sliders version for this latest patch and, if so, will they be on All-Star (since it seems Pro is a little to easy as it is now...)?

Thanks

i'm wondering this too

Re: Pared's NBA 2k10 Tweaks (Post-Patch Updates in first post)

I've been having a great time with these sliders. In my last game in my Celtics Association I hit a 3 with 3.4 seconds on the clock to get a 1 point victory at Miami. Good times.

One question I do have is are any of you seeing any injury's in your games? I haven't seen any so, I was wondering if it was because I've only played 25-30 games or if it's some sort of glitch?

Pared, have you ever tried adjusting the durability slider?

[Cesco]

Re: Pared's NBA 2k10 Tweaks (Post-Patch Updates in first post)

Durabilty slider is definitely reversed. Had the same issue and upped the durability slider to 100 for some games. Result: in 4 games i had 2 in game injuries (twisted ankles not caused by fouls) and two off game injuries for two of my starters. And now every team has two or three players with "injuries". Be careful ;-)

Re: Pared's NBA 2k10 Tweaks (Post-Patch Updates in first post)

From the couple of games I played so far it doesnt seem like the sliders need to be adjusted too much. Cant wait to see if u will be doing an update on ur sliders though Pared.
