Re: rspencer86's 2K10 Sliders and Settings
Just wanted to let you know I had yet another great game with these. This was my 3rd game overall using your sliders and I can honestly say that any other "great" set I have found, usually stopped being great after one game and started being very easy again.
I was going to post a full stat line but with 52 seconds left in the game, it inexplicably froze. 2k is my only game that ever freezes. It's only done it a handful of times but it's still kind of odd. But I digress...
I felt as though to better test the sliders, it would be better for me to use a team I never usually play as, and go against a team I haven't played very often. If you like playing against the Celtics or Lakers, or any other team, after about 10 games you pretty much understand their entire offense and it dulls the competitiveness down a bit.
I used the Grizzlies and went against the Blazers. I went up 10-0 in the first, and for the first time I wasn't thinking "here we go again, I'm going to win by 70". It felt like they were just starting slow, and would catch up. How you managed to do that with sliders I have no idea, but it's the truth. Sure enough, it was 24-24 after the 1st quarter. I had a 6 point lead going into halftime. But they came out on fire in the 3rd, going up by as many as 8. I knocked the lead down a bit and they were up by 4 going into the 4th.
In the 4th I outscored them 22-14 before the game froze, so I was up by 4 with 50 some odd seconds left.
The shooting percentages were very, very accurate. Defensively, my guys were not running around like idiots. And for once I didn't have to manually switch on transition defense, or defense after a basket so that my big man wouldn't stay stuck to the point guard and leave the opposing big man running the lane unopposed for an easy dunk. Again, no clue how sliders have helped this, but, they have.
They actually blocked some shots too, which was nice. For the most part I average about 10 blocks per game because I have the timing figured out perfectly. A lot of people think that blocking is a lot of luck or just pressing the button. But I figured it out awhile ago and it's a lot more complex than people know. And once you do know, it makes shot blocking a lot more fun and rewarding.
All that aside, the cpu usually doesn't block very many, if any shots against me. For the most part they get 0, even with shot block at 100. Going against the Blazers I had hoped between Camby, Oden, and Pryzbilla, they would do some damage. Sure enough, Camby had 3 blocks, Oden also had 3, and Pryz had 2. Most blocks against me in a long time. Camby also pulled down 16 rebounds, 6 offensive. Which is the best rebounding performance the cpu has ever had against me (individually of course).
So all things said, your sliders are still amazing, I'm getting competitive, close, realistic games with real shooting percentages, the stars playing like stars (during the 4th before it froze, the Trailb's kept going to Roy with the iso, and he was able to get to the rim at will, very, very lifelike). Camby doing his damage with blocks and boards and making me think twice about driving (also realistic).
Thank you again, this game is actually fun again. Instead of one blowout after another. I realized I fell back in love with this game, using your sliders, when a couple minutes before halftime I was down by 6. Every basket thereafter felt great and made me do a fist pump. Under normal circumstances I wouldn't be that excited about a game. But I haven't had to play without a lead in literally months.
