2013 Trifecta Sliders

Re: 2013 Trifecta Sliders

Next question for those in the know....

On Ball of Defense- The higher the slider the tighter a defender will play his assignment? Do defenders close down on shooters quicker? Get through and/or around screens quicker?

Help Defense-No clue what this does. My guess is that the higher the setting the more likely a defender will leave his man to cover an open shooter. Any examples?

Offensive and Defensive Awareness-no clue what any adjustment to this slider will do. With a higher OAW setting do your teammates get into the offense quicker? Does the CPU make smarter passes?

On the Controller their is a Help Defense option as well. Why is there onn on the controller and another in the slider section?

Thanks again!

On-Ball Defense: This only helps the ability of the Defender to stay in front of the Ball Handler. The higher the Slider, the better the perimeter defense is. It doesn't control how quickly a defender closes out or comes around screens, that's an entirely different Slider all together

Help Defense: As much as the Slider says its the Help Defense Strength, it really seems like its more of a tendency. As you said, yes it pretty much controls how often the Help Defense comes when its needed.

Offensive and Defensive Awareness: Here's where the closing out comes into play, Defensive Awareness. The higher the Defensive Awareness Slider is the quicker the defender will close out on shooters, fight around screens, etc. The Offensive Awareness helps with the flow of the game and the likelihood to look for the open shot, as well as really seeming to go for the most likely shot for the situation.

And the Defensive Assist Strength is completely different than Help Defense. The Slider is designed to "Assist" the User with On Ball Defense when holding the Aggressive Defense button (LT) the lower the setting, the less the game helps you out with On Ball Defense.


I hope that cleared those questions up for you and if you have any more, please don't hesitate to ask!

Just had a good game, blew out the 'Cats in year 3 of my Assoc. with the Suns, I feel like I need to keep it on user timing for both FG and FT because if I ever play online I feel I would get lazy playing with real % all the time offline.

I can't praise these sets of numbers enough, the Trifecta project paired with CWSapp/Dreece draft classes for later years... Makes this game so much better.

hi, im from Turkey and sorry for my english this slider is awesome man , on pc i created association and take jazz and first match lakers stats but i played 10 mins quarter superstar

Really? I use to play the SCEA NBA game and it used the equivilent of the 2K camera in NBA 2K. So I had a hard time playing in broadcast mode but now that I'm getting into the game it seems like I can see more from the broadcast angle then I could before. Personally I think it's easier with broadcast, and I agree... the game looks great from that camera angle.

For me it's a trade off. Once I get used to broadcast view that may well change. But on 2k view I stopped almost all dribble penetration and timing box outs, rebounds, and blocks was a cake walk. Like I said I was holding teams to low 30% shooting.

Broadcast camera is perfect for me because it makes it a little harder to take the perfect angle on defense on ball and in rebounding/shot blocking situations. But the better view of the court has improved my ability to drive and kick and determine the depth on jump shots so my offense has slightly improved.

Basically switching to broadcast has solved my only problem; shooting percentages for both teams. For once in my life(cue stevie wonder) i don't have slider-itis and am 100% focused on my association. Good times.

Haha! Right now I let my sister borrow my 42 incher while she's dealing with some health issues, pretty much bedridden. But I will be getting it back soon enough!

Speaking of broadcast cam....just beat the clippers in a close one and in the second half I made a stupid pass that led to a clipper fast break. I switch to shumpert and turbo lunged forward to try to deflect the pass. Didn't work, he missed and wound up in the crowd behind the scorers table. Then he had to climb back over the table to get into the game. Whole thing took about six seconds. Cool.

I hate all those animations. The problem is is that the animation was made for dead ball situations. Players hop off the announcer's table and a slowly jog or even walk back to the action. In the NBA, players would be springing off the table back into the action. They just need to redo those animations, same with the crash animations

That's how the game is designed. Players get boosts in certain Ratings categories when certain sliders are up.

With the Trifecta Rosters, this slider set's gameplay is pretty comparable to real life NBA. Ratings shouldn't be paid much attention.

Re: 2013 Trifecta Sliders

Yea I can oficially say I've tried every slider on these boards and while a lot of them have given me great amazing games this one definitely "simulates" an NBA game the best.

"If you aren't using the Trifecta Roster / Slider / Draft Class trio then I don't know what you've been doing."

That's what my friend told me, so I gave all 3 of these a try together and I can't agree with him more great job guys.

Re: 2013 Trifecta Sliders

What should I do to have the CPU miss a few more free throws?

I got Free Throw difficulty on 50% right now, the CPU misses 1-2 a game if im lucky.
