Re: Playmakers 2K10 All-Star Sliders

As far as drastic alterations I don't really pay much attention about that stuff because one guys preference or style of play could be completely different from my style. I mean seriously who's to say that with the sliders all set at 50 that isn't drastic already. Every sports games I've played has had something drastic happening with the default settings.

That's why I'm a firm believer that the only way you'll learn about sliders is if your willing to explore the sliders and see what works and what doesn't work regardless if it takes a setting down lower or up higher than the avg slider settings might be using.

There are guys who will choose stay CONSERVATIVE and inside the box and then there are guys who are going to EXPLORE and venture outside the box to see how much or how little a slider might IMPACT the GAMEPLAY OVERALL.

I'm mostly in the EXPLORE group because I'll always venture out a little further just to see if something out in left field might work better than the DEFAULT SETTINGS. If it doesn't work there's no rule that says you can't switch it back or change it.

Having said all that it looks like the 3-PT attempts can actually come up some more with these settings. I don't think the CPU takes enough 3's.

Also, blocks and steals are rather low which is great because that leaves me room to increase those sliders up a little further aswell.

I've always been big fan of getting the player movement down 1st and to be honest after reducing the quickness slider down this game can actually go back to default 50 speed and you'll still see less sliding and reduced lighting moves.

I'm now going to turn my focus towards adding more turnovers, 3-PT attempts and Foul shots into the game.. I think i went down too far on the foul slider because elite scorer's by themsleves should be getting 8-10 FT attempts per game.

I'll look into the inside shots aswell maybe boost it up about 2-4 more clicks but that will also require me boosting up the interior defense for both sides as i feel guys like D.Howard, Camby and Okafor aren't blocking enough shots. They are contesting shots much better it's not leading to enough blocks.

THANKS for sharing your stats and feedback about the gameplay because it helps me towards making adjustments.

I love these sliders, just played a NBA Today game using these.

Hornets(Cpu) Bobcats(me)

PIP 48 30
Bench Points: 11 28
SCP 4 9
FBP 10 10

Best game I've had so far.

I was down 19 heading into half-time cut it to 12 midway through the 3rd quarter. Hornets finished the third on a run taking a 16 point lead into the 4th quarter.

I come out in the 4th quarter blazing playing lockdown D, forcing turnovers, bad shots & cut down on my turnovers to pull within three. Final 20 seconds in the 4th I isolate Gerald at the top of the key, breaking down Peja causing a collapase in the D and then swung it to Vlad for the trey to send it into overtime.

We were neck and neck in overtime until the final minute of the game. Chris Paul stopped getting assists and went into I gotta win this for my team mode. He stole a pass which lead to a easy duece for him(fastbreak).

I come down the court running my offense, hit the med range jay with Vlad score now tied. Then Chris Paul came down the court, popped a three right in Feltons face with 30 seconds left.

Next possesion for me I miss a three, Hornets break the rebound tie and i'm forced to foul Paul to prevent them from running out the clock, he drains both free throws btw.

My next possesion I cough the ball up, Paul to Okafor for two. Final possesion for me I throw up a bad shot down seven with not enough time to attempt a comeback.

Hornets win 94 - 87.

Top Performers

CP3: 21 pts 5 reb 10 ast 1 stl 8-17 fg 1-6 3pt

Vlad: 15 3 reb 2 ast 6-10 fg 3-5 3pt
Chandler: 8 pts 20 reb 1 blk

Not enough fouls, considering I was playing 12 minutes but it's only one game and my play style of staying away from the paint might be the cause of it.

Thanks for the sliders, aprreciate the work bro.

Hey PM,

Looking forward to checking these out. I read somewhere about turning off CPU Assist. Did you do that combined with these sliders or left that alone?

Thanks

Re: Playmakers 2K10 All-Star Sliders

okay so I just gave these a try and WOW

amazing sliders.

1st game I played against the Kings (who somehow shoot the lights out normally) with the Wizards.

the Kings actually missed shots! finally. they shot 39% or something. it was refreshing for Nocioni and Evans to shoot realistically.

then the 2nd game I was the Hawks and played Celtics. snuck out a 2 pt win in an amazing game, both teams shot 50% or so but it was the right people making shots.

great job man. I think the Help D at 100 is key.

As of right now I've only been working on the sliders.

I know someone mentioned something to me about defensive assist but i still rather new to 2K basketball and I'm not sure what exactly it does right now.

they work with the CPU assist turned down to 0 fine. I had my CPU assist tuned down to 0 and these sliders are good to go.

is the help d slider not the reason why they always go to double?

isn't the help d slider the reason why there alwyas double teaming?

Re: Playmakers 2K10 All-Star Sliders

Great job playmakers, im playing you set with a few tweaks and they have really cut out a lot fo the problem (easy passes into the paint for one. which happen about 100 times a game on default)

really enjoyed my game with these.

keep up the good work.

also for any edit you have made, are they on the first post? (have you gone back and edited your first post to include all new edits basically?)

that slider seems to be backwards.

yep

everything is updated on the front page now......

I'm going to let these sit for awhile and observe all the stats you guys post before making anymore adjustments. Probably 1 week of straight play before anymore tweaks.

I'll also look at that defensive assist option people have been speaking of and see how it works out.

Thanks for all the help with stats and feedback guys.

Just finished up an Association game with the Cavs using these. I was facing the Bobcats. 10 minute quarters.

Bobcats

Tyson Chandler - 20 9 1 1 2 2 8/11 0/0 4/4

Raja Bell - 16 6 2 3 0 0 7/16 2/6 0/0


The game was alot closer than the final score but I was able to pull away in the last couple minutes with some timely 3's by Mo and LeBron being LeBron. My defense was also solid down the stretch forcing alot of bad shots by the Bobcats near the end of the game.

My only issues in this game were the Help D rotations/teammates leaving their man and the score was pretty low. The Help D thing only happened a few times but it was still really annoying. This didn't just happen for my team either. A couple times when I came up the court with Mo or Delonte, there was a big like Tyson Chandler matched up on me.

The score being low probably has to do with not enough shot attempts so I'll leave it to you to suggest an adjustment. Other than that, really nice sliders.

Re: Playmakers 2K10 All-Star Sliders

A couple of questions for you

I have Human Committ Fouls at 90 and CPU at 70 already. I still think that the Human player doesn't foul enough so do you suggest bumping it up to 100?

I'll also look into backdoor cuts. I actually don't mind the CPU beating me every now and then backdoor. Hopefully 0 they'll still attempt some backdoor cuts nd catch me off guard.

I don't know i play with the default camera brodcast i believe with the zoom out about 2-3 clicks gives me a great view of the entire floor kinda like the Press Box Camera in NBA Live.

Oh yeah and with verticals lowered which i've done every year even in NBA Live it just makes things look more realistic because a lot of bigs look crazy jumping out the gym with unrealistic verticals in every b-ball game i've played. Dropping it down 5-10 points clicks doesn't stop anyone from pulling off dunks it just stops most bigs from looking like a Larry Nance clone in terms of hops.

sup PM,
i actually have 'commit foul' tend 100 on both sides, with reaching foul decreased.(11 min qtrs)
and yes with backdoor cut set '0' .. they still cut i think it then reverts to player tendencies.
and i have vertical at 30-- lowering that was def a good idea.
and everyone thats talking about "defense assist" in controllor settings, lowering it does help. its then on you to decide the best "defensive positioning" for your player which keeps your ai buddies from havin to help if your defense assist is to high.
i play on 19. i have stats ill post later.

Re: Playmakers 2K10 All-Star Sliders

Nice work on the sliders. I think I may have found a home with these. Had a awesome game playing as the Lakers vs. Mavs in my Association. I won 90-69. It was close in the first half and in the second, I was able to shut them down and just run my offense.

Ok so with verttical at 30 do they still get up?

I have it at 40 right now and they still have solid verticals but i was scared to reduce it some more because i didn't want to hinder a guy like Josh Smith or LBJ.

I will also try Committ Fouls at 100 and see if that gets more FT's close to the league avg. I'll give it about 1 week of games before making anymore changes.
