Re: Czar's game feels scripted group experiment
Just finished my game. This is kinda long, with highlights included, but I hope it is helpful.
No script here. This is all about using the tools this fine game gives us.
How I Play:
1) I am a DNA Nazi.
--- Ive never used the nuggets before, so the 1st thing I did was look at the DNA% of all of my players, I also study the DNA tendencies of the Spurs..and I play the %'s
2) I play 100% on ball D.
--I want full control of how I defend pick and roll, how I position and shade my defender, and my shot contests
Denver(me) vs San Antonio, default all star, 12 min qtrs, on the road
Denver(me): 99
San Antonio: 81
Denver:
FG%:50.0
3 pt shooting: 5-13(38.5%)
Free throws: 6-7(85.7%)
Rebounds: 42
Assists: 27
Blocks:9
Turnovers: 10
Offensive Rebounds: 9
Fast Break Points: 4
Spurs
FG% 45.6
3 pt shooting: 3-14 21.4%
Free Throws: 6-11, 54.5%
Rebounds: 32
Assists: 19
Blocks: 4
Steals: 1
Turnovers: 8
Offensive Rebounds: 2
Fast Break Points: 2
Break Down By Qtr
1st Qtr
Denver(me)24, 55% FG %
San Antonio 21, 52.9% FG
Notes: I had a 14-5 run right of the gate, CPU came on after taking a T.O., I buckled down and held them scoreless for a 2:05 stretch
2nd Qtr
Denver(me)26, 52.4% FG%
San Antonio, 20, 47.1% FG%
Notes: nothing stand outs
3rd Qtr
Denver(me) 25, 45.5% FG%
San Antonion: 15, 33.5%
Notes: this qtr was the turning point, and where the CPU tried to make its push.
The CPU came out HARD.
They came out pushing tempo, and Duncan was going at me strong, earning multiple trips to the line.
--I called a time out, and slowed the tempo down. I dumped the ball down to Nene and exploited the strength mismatch.
Mcdyess couldnt handle handle him 1 on 1. They brought double teams, and all kinds of space opened up.
On D, I called 2-3 zone to slow the pace down, and tried to turn Richard Jefferson, Manu, and Parker into spot up shooters. It worked
4th Qtr
Denver 24(me) 48% FG %
Spurs 25, 50% FG %
Played my bench for the whole quarter.
Individual Stats.
Denver(me)
JR Smith: 26 pts, 2 rebounds, 1 assist, 2 blocks, 11-20 FG%, 4-5 3pt shooting, 28 minutes
'Melo: 19 points, 3 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal, 9-20, 1-3 3pt, 34 minutes
Aaron Afflalo: 14 pts, 2 assists, 7-12 FG (beautiful mid range stroke)
Birdman: 12 pts, 10 rebs, 1 block, 21 min
K-Mart: 10 pts, 10 reb, 4 assists, 1 block, 27 min
Mr. Big Shot: 10 pts, 5 assists, 4-12 shooting, 31 min
Spurs
Tony Parker: 17 pts, 11 assists, 7-11 FG, 1-4 3pt, 48 min
Richard Jefferson: 14pts, 6-11, 39 min
Manu: 13pts, 5 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 block, 6-16 Fg, 1-4 3pt, 31min
Tim Duncan: 11pts, 5 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 block 5-11 Fg, 37 min
Matt Bonner: 11pts, 8 rebounds, 3 assists, 5-14 FG, 0-3 3pt, 24min
Roger Mason: 7 pts, 3-4 FG, 1-2 3pt, 17 min
Antonio Mcdyess 6pts, 6 rebounds, 1 block, 31 minutes.
Overall Strategy:
Play the %'s and try to force Parker, Manu, and RJ into spot up jump shooters.
I would throw in some zone when they were all on the floor together, and I tried to crowd duncan with doubles. The CPU aint, dumb, it subbed Roger Mason and/or Bonner in when I did this for a few trips in a row, so then I would play man.
I made the Spurs pay for playing Bonner.
As soon as he checked into the game, Id run my offense through the high post, and exploit him on post ups, or elbow Isos. When the doubles came, Id swing for the jumpers or hit the cutters.
On O, Bonner's DNA tendency is to pull up near 70% of the time, so I bum rushed him, on every touch. His lowest % shot is the off the dribble jumper, and his "contact shots is 30". He will not score with heat on him, so I ran up on him and forced him to take this shot, if he was going to shoot at all. 2 of his points came on a goaltend.
Some highlights:
-Tony Parker is a 42% jump shooter, and 60% at the basket. So what shot would you rather him take?
Here i'm controlling Anthony Carter. I see Bonner coming to set the screen, and try to beat him to the spot. Im able to fight through the screen and cut off the drive.
I then GIVE GROUND..once I see tony parker retreating, and force him into a low % contested, off the dribble, fall away jumper.

Highlight #2
I'm in a 2-3 Zone here. Parker is dribbling the ball. I dont respect his 3 point shot, so I am playing well below the 3pt line with Aaron Afflalo, with my hands up.
I'm able to intercept Tony Parkers pass, and it is off to the races.
I see that Birdman, has a step on Duncan, so I take control of him with off ball, and cut him to the basket..for the flush.

Highlight #3
Nene is posted up on Mcdyess. McDyess is too small. I start to back him down, and Duncan brings help. I off ball control Kenyon to cut to the vacated space for the dunk.

Highlight #4
Spurs caught in a mismatch. I see Duncan caught on Melo. I off ball Melo to the top of the key(run over RJ by a mistake, and got away with it LOL).
I call a clear out..give Duncan a step fake, pump fake. He bites, RJ is late..Dunk.

Highlight #5
Bonner in the game? Make them pay.
Caught in a mismatch again, so its time to dance.
PATIENCE here....its Bonner, he aint blocking your shot. Bonner actually does a good job here. That's okay..he's in the NBA too.
I eventually get a sliver of space, and move the left stick away from the contest, for the and 1.

Re: Czar's game feels scripted group experiment
Denver-112 SA-90
Wow. Only my second win ever on AS and I've probably played/started 20+ games.
There was obviously no miraculous CPU comeback here because Denver just shot the lights out. San Antonio led 56-49 with 2:30 left in the first half and made a couple plays on the defensive end and came back to trail 59-58 at the half.
SA had no chance in the second half. With 5 minutes left leading by 15 Melo missed a dunk and Parker scored on a layup and then Mason hit a quick 3 and I thought the comeback was on. Off ball screen to JR for a 3 and that was it.
In this game I did notice a few more of the turn around fadeaway 3pt. shots. Other than that I concentrated more on the defensive end.
Hope it helps.
DEN/SA
FG%-53/41(49-92/39-95)

Re: Czar's game feels scripted group experiment
Alright finally got my game in and I am cutting and encoding the video right now. Its huge so its going to take awhile so I will post as they are ready on Youtube.
Here a little spiel and then the first few minutes of the 1st qtr
Here is some background info that may help you understand what your seeing as I play. My first excuse : ) is that I have been playing 2k exclusively most of the past week while working on my post game video.
I wanted to start the game out going inside. I know we can't shoot jumpers all night and expect to win. I also want to use time-outs and good play selection to stop any runs as soon as they start. They key for us to sniff out what they are trying to do and adjust to it as the game goes on. Also try like hell not to let the cpu take us out of what we want to do on offense.
One thing I know from dna and playing the spurs before is that they love to cram the ball into the paint. As the game progresses I want to make every shot in the paint be difficult and encourage them to shoot from the outside.
You will see me adjust my defense at the start of the game.
One big key to using the nuggets this year is knowing where your scoring will come from when your starters are resting. If not expect a big run by the cpu spurs when you take those starters out to rest.

Re: Czar\'s game feels scripted group experiment
You are right. At least the only results that czar should be concerned about are the ones that fall in the parameters of his experiment. So those doing other things probably wont be used for his purposes.Comment

Re: Czar's game feels scripted group experiment
Bls I love that spurs shot chart. You can see clearly in the 4th they were on a mission to get the ball into the paint.
Sportsfly and everyone else great writeups and pics. Hopefull we can get everyone from the other thread to do one. Yes there has been a bit if jibber jabber but thanks for keeping it Den at SA for the most part.
Every 45 min or so a new video should be ready up till I goto bed. The rest should be ready tomorrow.Catch me on that #SimNation #SimHangOut Friday's @ 10:00 pm est https://www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...N7yxMiElOpMl_BComment

Re: Czar's game feels scripted group experiment
Hell, I was thrilled just to lose by 15 ... but this thread has been informative and I think it will improve my overall game.Comment

Re: Czar's game feels scripted group experiment
I just beat the Nuggets 107-102
Had them down by 16 with about 6 mins left....(thanks for the zone tip, its really does help) some CONTESTED Billlups and JR 3's later, throw in a pair of birdman circus shots...they withered it down to 2...I didnt panic, I called timeouts, just played Spurs basketball and held on for the win.
doesnt change how I feel, but hey...Its all good man, I got the win.....game was fun....just 2 things..
1) I dont get snubbed on rebounds on Pro like I do on All Star when I have clear position...I had Billups grab a board from behind Duncanwhen jumping at the same time. is this going to be looked at via patch? or is this how the difficulty translates?
2) Once fouls are patched, I think thatll make a huge difference as well....espeially slowing down runs
I those are fixed, I could handle the CPU BS a little better....still a great game man...happy gaming people
Edit I am updating my post on page 5 with the videos guys.Last edited by Da_Czar; 10-16-2009, 08:42 PM.Catch me on that #SimNation #SimHangOut Friday's @ 10:00 pm est https://www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...N7yxMiElOpMl_BComment
