Re: Playmakers All-Star/Press Box Cam/Team Specific Plays

These sliders are for simulation right? not for action? This is probably a dumb question but i dont want to be playing on the wrong mode. I heard somewhere that the 2 were mixed up.

Yeah these are simulation sliders.

Don't forget I lowered these sliders

In Air Collision to 75
Reach In-50
Shooting Foul-25

Re: Playmakers All-Star/Press Box Cam/Team Specific Plays

so is the rebounding changed? The game is too easy on OFF REB 1/DEF REB 99. U can control a bad team and outrebound a really good rebounding team.

I (using the celtics) outrebounded DETROIT (among others) and beat them. So i think the 30/80 approach makes the game more challenging, because the CPU will score on more of their possessions.

Re: Playmakers All-Star/Press Box Cam/Team Specific Plays

can you denote your changes???

also... surprisingly... I've had much better Offensive to Defensive Rebounding ration... with bothe Offensive and Defensive rebounding set at ZERO... I don't know why this is... but it is better.

Re: Playmakers All-Star/Press Box Cam/Team Specific Plays

what do u suggest to make the steals for human less? I get WAY too many steals

[armistead]

Re: Playmakers All-Star/Press Box Cam/Team Specific Plays

Playmakers,

Quick question. I'm trying to change the playbooks like you suggested. I'm having problems finding the plays you say to insert. For Atlanta, you say to add to the offensive quick plays - Rising Sun. I don't see that play. Any help would be appreciated.

thanks.

Re: Playmakers All-Star/Press Box Cam/Team Specific Plays

Lower it 0-5 that should help or else take control of only one defender and just play posistional defense without Reaching In that often.

You have to take control of the CPU team first then set up their playbook. There is also a Defensive Matchup setting that allows you to switch the Pressure defense from low to high on any players you like.

I prefer setting it on High for only the C's and PF's of both teams because it makes defense in the post tougher. More battling down low for posistion.

After you set the CPU's playbooks and Defensive pressure switch the controller over to your team and the do the same thing unless your using your own playbook.

Re: Playmakers All-Star/Press Box Cam/Team Specific Plays

The Front Page can't be edited. These are the latest sliders and Playbooks for the PS2 and XBOX Versions I worked on. The Sliders were pretty much revamped from the ones showing on the Front Page and the Playbooks were modified aswell if anyone missed the updates previoulsy within this thread.

Level: All-Star/Press Box View -2 clicks from DEFAULT Camera/Shot Control Optional

Assign High Pressure Defense to all PF's and C's for both CPU and Human players. You have to take control of the CPU at the start of games to set their Pressure defense then switch over to your team before the tip off.

40=12 MINUTES

Re: Playmakers All-Star/Press Box Cam/Team Specific Plays

i'm sure this has been asked before, but i still can't seem to get it right. the quick plays you assign to the teams, how do i get to have them run those? when i push in one of the joy sticks and push a D-pad, it still just comes up with like pick and roll or something that i didn't assign...can i get a description as to how to run the offense...thanks and i would greatly appreciate it
