v 1.4: page 1.

updated 12/13.

Two quick things:

- not sure about shooting fouls setting, adjust as you see fit
- not 100% on Inside, Layup & Contact.

And lastly, Cesco for testing the hell out of every iteration of the set. As I said, he is at least half-responsible for these sliders-- read through the other thread and this is obvious. And there is much of his contribution that never saw the forums. So, thanks man. We made it! Lol. Send me the blame, him the praise.

Known Issues

- Shooting fouls are inconsistent
- You probably shouldn't attempt on-ball steals
- You might have to police your block attempts
- 3pt Success slider might need to be adjusted
- High Steal Totals (on purpose because of the minimal amount of non-steal turnovers)
- Offensive Rebounds inconsistent (a game issue)
- Team Fouls low (not many non-shooting fouls, game issue)
- Passing Accuracy Issues (trying to squeeze out as many non-steal turnovers as possible while remaining sane)

What does (+) and (-) means in these slider? I will add and deduct from the original one? But how about those data has already 100 but you encoded 100(+6)? Sorry, Im just confused with these.

Re: The Purist(s) NBA 2K11 Sliders (Post-Patch)

How I arrived at 1.4

I ran 10 CPU v. CPU quarters (thus, 20 different teams & at least 100 different players) and hand tracked FGM/FGA by location on the floor. It is hard to tell if one click would result in +10 boost to FG% or +5, etc. But since I have run a few of these tests on a number of different settings, I'm quite confident in the settings for Close and Mid. 3pt is easy to track since the game does it for you. So, no new info there.

Inside, Layup, Dunk, DIT, Contact are trickier. For one, teams averaged about 2-4 "and 1's" a game last year. So contact shot cannot really be high. At the previous setting, it was too high-- i.e. there were too many conversions on fouls. So that had to be dropped. Layups seem almost indestructible. But it is not quite clear what 2k calls a layup and what they call an inside shot. 4 of the 5 seem redundant to me (that is: Inside, Layup, Dunk, DIT). Inside seems like it only refers to post-ups that go deep enough to enter the charge circle. But, what you are looking for here is 61%, not 100%. So, since layups are almost always successful (and very hard to tune as a result), and dunks should be almost always successful, the majority of misses have to come on Inside shots.

I'm still not happy with this, but the only way to finish them off is to play. So I will.

Another note:

NBA teams averaged 46% FG% last year.

They averaged 44% in what 2k11 calls close.

39% in what 2k11 calls mid.

35% in threes.

So how is that possible, or why is your FG% too low?

They shot 61% on dunks, layups and putbacks.

It is extremely hard (short of editing the entire leagues tendencies) to make the computer live inside (27 shots a game in 09-10) like they do in the NBA. 2k11 player tendencies just LOVE mid-range jumpers. So FG% should and will probably be low for the computer. You can control your own FG% by getting to hoop.

Just ignore the numbers in parentheses.

They are mostly to remind me (and anyone else who cares) what the original (v. 1.0) slider settings were. It's also to indicate where I've made changes to people who are using an old set.

In other words, if it says 100 (+6), the original purist set had that slider at 94 but I now recommend 100.

Ah I see. Okay then. Is these slider is applicable for PC platform?

Hmm. Honestly, I don't know. It was developed and tested post-patch.

Give it a shot.

Thanks. lol. You reply so fast. Anyway, I'm playing at the moment. And it seems good. But I need to try more games in my Association, because I'm planning to make AGAIN another Association.
I'm really newbie here. I think this is my 5th or 6th post/comment in the forum.

Sadly, right now, I have nothing better to do.

Welcome! Although I'm most definitely not the one to say that-- I've been here since Oct. And I would assume that most people are either indifferent to me, or hate my guts.

But, yeah, let me know how it goes. It will be nice to know if these work pre-patch.

I will post my game stat tomorrow, my next game is against the Magic. I'm using the Mavs btw. Forget the previous game, I messed the slider because of that parenthesis thing. lol.

Re: The Purist(s) NBA 2K11 Sliders (Post-Patch)

i'm starting to think 25 on free throw difficulty is too high(or low, whatever). i'm seeing way too many bad free throw shooters make free throws consistantly. i just played a game where greg oden hit 8 of 8, and the one against boston, shaq was 7 for 7. alsop, i have russell westbrook shooting 97% from the line....he's and 80 percenter :P

i dunno maybe its just me

I'm almost positive if you have it on Real FT% the number doesn't matter.

If Timing was on, a lower number would make them easier.

I think it's a fluke.

(Sorry, I misread)

Are you using the new settings, DH? Are you finding them too easy?
