Re: ALL-STAR Sliders for Press Box CAM (with CPU Shot Control)

OK for anyone using my sliders I will update team specific plays that will help your season or dynasty get a better NBA performance.

I will update team sets daily as I continue to run test and games. I've done some serious work observing these playsets and some teams might function well with 1-2 different sets and selected plays. These are designed to help the CPU get the most out their main players and take advantage of each teams strength when you play against them in your dynasty or season.

Atlanta-Flex Offense-(Set plays 1-3-2)/Defense Man To Man. Designed to get the ball to Walker and Harrington in low blocks. Play 3 gets Walker up high on the perimeter and allows him to break down his man usually a PF off the dribble or take one of his pattened three's.

Charlotte-Sideline Triangle-(Set Plays 1-2-6) Defense 2/3 Shifting Zone. This set is built towards taking advantage of E.Okafor's inside power game. Usually Okafor will provide a target on the weakside of the court with only the PG running a inside/out two man game. make sure Emeka is listed as the starting PF in your dynasty and not the Bobcats center because this play and set is designed to cater to a teams scoring PF on the low blocks.

Dallas-Motion Offense-(Set Plays 3-8-9) Defense 2/3 Zone. The Mavs will thrive off these three plays. It is tailored to Nowitzki placing him out high and down low. However, look for Finley and the Mavs other collection of Swingman to get their touches aswell. Play 9 is to post Dampier on the strong side with Dirk spotting up along the baseline.

Detroit-1/4 High Offense-(Set Plays 7-2-8) Defense Full Court Man. Takes advantage of the Pistons High Scoring Backcourt Combo of Billups and Rip Hamilton coming off high screens by the Wallace's also allows Rasheed to get his touches being the primary low post scorer.

Houston-Double High Offense-(Set Plays 5-4-2) Defense Man To Man. This set is all about McGrady. He will setup just outside of the top of the arc above the freethrow line and his freestyle moves will force to eventually bring a double team. McGrady will get his 25-30 shots in these sets with Yao getting a few touches aswell. T-Mac could drop 30 or 40 on you in these sets.

LA Lakers-1/4 High Offense-(Sets Plays 6-4-1) Defense 3/4 Court Man. Make sure you have L.Odom starting at PF or else he will get very few touches but this is all about Kobe. This set has some similiarties to the Double High but it runs Kobe Usually off of one screener up high as opposed to two.

Miami-Inside Triagle/Sideline Triangle Offense-(Set Plays I-Triangle 8, S-Triangle 5) Defense Full Court Man. These two combo sets best utilize Shaq in low post and makes sure he gets fed the ball consistently. Make sure D.Wade is switched to the 2G spot because he will get more touches and shots when the defense collapse on Shaq and switch E.Jones to SF for both sets so he can work the baseline perimeter.

New Jersey-Zone Motion/Zone Flash Offense/Defense 3/4 Court Man. Zone Motion keeps Kidd more invloved with distributing the rock instead of shooting. Zone Flash will get Jefferson flashing into the key up high so he can use his slashing skills in the paint. Make sure you added V.Carter and play him at the SG spot giving Kidd a perimeter scorer to drive and dish out to repeatedly.

Orlando-Box Offense-(Set Plays 8-9-3) Defense Man To Man. These Box set plays is geared more towards Orlando's perimeter Players Francis, Moble and Hill. They will shoulder the bulk of the scoring load and spacing created in this set allows Francis to get to the rack often which might get your defenders into foul trouble with sliders geared towards rewarding players who drw contact in the paint area on shooting fouls.

Golden ST-Box/Sideline Triangle Offense-(Set Plays Box 1-5-7, S-Triangle 3-6) Defense Man To Man. Look for these plays in both sets to get Jason Richardson imvolved early and often. His perimeter game is shaky but his set plays in the Triangle sets are geared towards getting him on the low blocks so he can over match opposong SG's down low. The Box set is also good for getting production out of Dunleavy and Murphy.

Phoenix-Secondary Break Offense-(Set Plays 1-4-8) Defense 2/3 shifting Zone. This appears to be the best fit for the Suns because it runs the offense through Amare yet it doesn't ignore slasher S.Marion on the Wing and Nash from 3-PT land. Make sure you switch Amare to Center and Marion to PF to get the best results out this set.

Sacramento-Utah/Motion Offense-(Set Plays Utah 3-2-7, Motion 8-10-3) Defense Man To Man. The Utah Set is actually best suited for running the Offense through Webber it puts him in a # of posistions to score while the Motion Offense caters to Peja more often. The Utah set does provide the best ball movement of any play sets in this game and it is ideal for the Kings especially if you edited the players Passing rating like i recommened in my earlier post within this thread. You will see excellent movement and ball distribution.

Utah-Utah Offense-(Set Plays 3-4-1) Defense 2-3 Zone. Hello Carlos Boozer because this guy will get plenty of work in the low post. Also expect Kiralenko (sp) to get some touches near the high post but for the most part it's all about Boozer.

I'm still tweaking teams running them through multiple sets and playing games so I'll keep posting and adding teams later. Until then enjoy the sets and watch these teams react within these sets like true to life NBA ball.

i just check these sliders out and i'm dying to try them, but i heard somewhere the playsets for teams dont really work, i was just wondering do i need the sets for these sliders to get a total nba experience or can i play the sliders alone and get realistic nba stats?..................sjj2xs

Re: ALL-STAR Sliders for Press Box CAM (with CPU Shot Control)

Sjj2xs.....I've played with these set plays for every team and closely watched how guy's perfomed and as I stated the plays work just fine. I found away for each team to consistently run plays for their top 2-3 players. I posted within this thread how I came about effectively accomplishing this goal.

Trust me utilize the set plays I assigned for each team and they will not dissapoint you. Make sure you use the assigned play # because that is the key in getting them to run plays within their offensive playbook that gets their key players involved.

sounds good i'll give them a shot, a couple of questions though, on your final set of sliders i play 12 min qtrs what game speed do you play for 12, and what page on this thread do you explain the set plays, i'm pretty pumped about using your sliders, sorry for the nagging and questions just want to get everything correct.............sjj2xs

Re: ALL-STAR Sliders for Press Box CAM (with CPU Shot Control)

Basically, I replaced the Quick Plays with actual set plays for each team. I experimented on this and noticed that the CPU would cycle through 3 quick plays throughout the game accept for the very last one which was 4 Corners. Basically they never ran that play unless they were running out the clock at the end of a game.

What I did was force them to call assigned plays that run through their top 2-3 players by studying not only the actual offensive playset like BOX for example but also I very closely went through each specific assigned play # and diagnosed the play to see where players would react on the court and how the play was actually run. That how I came up with the theory that if you assign a plau # and not just the actual play set it would force the CPU to run plays within that set that best utilizes star players. The Quick plays were replaced so now when the CPU cycles it quick plays it is forced to run the actual play # that was assigned in that slot rather than the old quick plays which were replaced.

Sorry that was so long hopefully you'll began to understand what I was relating to.....as for the 12 min Qtr's I would reccomend using game speed at 43. Also, every slider setting has remained the same accept for 12 minute qtr's I would lower Shooting foul to 38 and Reach In Foul to 60. I currently play with it at 40/65 on 11 Minute Qtr's and usually both teams get around 20-25 ft's per game.

Re: ALL-STAR Sliders for Press Box CAM (with CPU Shot Control)

Ok one more update to the sliders. I finally got a very good balance to the fouls called in this game. The only changes would be listed below.

REACH IN-65
SHOOTING FOUL-40

All other Sliders reamin the same. I play 11 Minute QTR's and this setting really works pretty good. The refs won't go crazy if you set Reach In at 65 aslong as you have perimeter defense set to low/medium for all players. It will make the correct calls if guy's get beat off the dribble and reach in or they reach in down low after they are clearly beat giving both the USER/CPU a chance for the bucket and the foul..

Re: ALL-STAR Sliders for Press Box CAM (with CPU Shot Control)

I must say that without even making those edits to the plays better than any other slider set that I have tried. I had completely given up on this game months ago, because of the unrealistic shot selection by the computer. But by adding in the quick plays like you recommend, the players actually play like their real life counterparts. I really think that everyone on this site should definitely give these a try with the specific plays that were posted above. It is a really great experience and I may do some edits in the future, but they don't even need them.

Thanks for the feedback. I'm glad the sliders fit your playing style and you found some enjoyment in them. I really feel like the play sets are what makes the game much more intersting now because you'll see teams keeping their top players involved throughout a game as opposed to everyone jacking up shots.

Re: ALL-STAR Sliders for Press Box CAM (with CPU Shot Control)

playmaker,

WOW! you put a lot of effort into this just to make the game better for other people. THanks. I used to always give up and play ESPN but now im playing live again and im going to stick with it.
