My shooting slider experiment, got a very scary result =O

[jrose57]

Hey boys, man, this game is pretty damn good just that I don't know which level I can play on and I couldnt start dynasty. I did a little experiment with the shooting sliders at SUPERSTAR level for HOME and AWAY level for AWAY, so I put zeros for all shooting and layup sliders for AI, all 100 for HUMAN, and what I saw was, the AI still make shots, and I do make most of my shots too, however I miss too, which means the sliders dont really help on anything, that is very scary because we spent hours and hours clicking sliders but guess what, they dont have much influence. So in order to be able to play at ALLSTAR and SUPERSTAR, USER MUST MUST MUST have HHUUGGEE advantage over AI in order for the game to play fair, so let say USER has 50 for rebound, AI should get 25 or lower, let say USER has 40 for shooting close, AI needs to have 10, just big range between the two will allow you to play those levels.

Put in on Pro and watch how it just feels like Ratings kick in more for the CPU. I just messed around a few days with sliders left the CPU shooting sliders at default and they shoot real FG% vs me.

NO boost up or anything.

All you really have to do on Pro Level is make the CPU more competive and then you'll get fair game play. Balance out the sliders and presto they'll compete pretyy good.

The one thing I'm starting to find out with most sports games is that any level can be tweaked to be competive. It all depends how quickly you learn what each slider does and how they impact game play.

You can put Madden 10, NCAA 10 and Live 10 on one of the lower levels and if you find the right spot or close to the right spot for most sliders you want even notice your playing on a lower level.

Can't waite for EA to release a roster update and patch. Gonna make scrubs like D.George and A.Johnson clank more bricks outside and my Boi E.Dampier is going to shoot air balls if he takes a jumper.

Ummm, well you can upper the AI for the defensive sliders and lower USER offensives sliders for PRO, but it is also possible to lower AI offensive sliders and KEEP or UPPER USER Defensive AND Offensive sliders, what you think? I really wanna have superstar level at home, allstar away, so that home and away is different, which works perfectly with the home vs. away atomosphere in arena!

I think Super Star level is cool to be honest. My only beef with Super Star level was the transistion game or lack there of to be honest.

I play with the Mavs and with J.Kidd i want to be able to run and have my wings run the floor.

Pro level lets me accomplish that task without it being a fastbreak dunk fest. EA really nailed the fast break logic on Pro not so much on Super Star.

I can see what your trying to accomplish but personally I don't think Super Star level needs drastic changes. There are like 3-4 CPU sliders on Super Star level that i'd touch right now. None of those changes would involve the shooting sliders because on every level from what I've seen they shoot realistic FG%.

Like I said the only reason why i like Pro level is because of my style of play and the team I controll (Dallas). If i used Boston or San Antonio like i mentioned in the slider thread i would have no problems with Super Star level. Those teams don't dictate tempo as much as Dallas. The half court play on Super Star level would fit them perfect.

Depending on the patch they might free up all 3 levels in terms of the transistion game. If that happens you can be assured I'll go back to Super Star Level and put out my 1st set of sliders to share.

Until then I took my ball and team down to the lowest level and don't regret it. I'm not in it for the difficulty i'm it for the realism.
