    Player tendency sliders...

    To the guys who don't play / haven't had a chance to play this game...do you realise what we mean when we talk about player tendency sliders Inside Drive?

    It means INDIVIDUAL player sliders. ie, you want Antoine Walker carrying the ball for the C's and shooting 3's...you simply adjust his (operative word = his) sliders.

    You want all the Spurs offense to go through Duncan? You raise HIS touch the ball rating and lower the other players. You want Tony Parker to be a shoot first PG...simply raise HIS slider for shoots often.

    Example...if in 2004 Allen Iverson starts to distribute a lot more and the Sixers go to the Big Dog, you can change those individual players to reflect this.

    Lowers Iversons 'looks to score' slider and raise his 'looks to pass' slider.

    It's this that sets Inside Drive apart in terms of artificial intelligence and it's what guys like Shankey, KDRE and NEO have been getting at...but I don't think most people (who are used to GAME sliders...not INDIVIDUAL PLAYER sliders) comprehend this.

    I am not promoting ID...I may well switch to LIVE simply to enjoy that game this year if it's near realistic...but I appreciate this depth of sliders / player tendancies that NO other game has.

    Do most people get what they mean and how it allows the user to bascially replicate the real teams and players in the NBA (ie, set all Celtics players to shoot from longe rang / set Detroit players to play a slower game)...or am I just lost in a world where cross overs and shoe types are all that is noticed nowadays?

    Re: Player tendency sliders...

    Did the original ID have this? Or just last years game? (I had the original and thought it was ok, but guess I didn't like it enough to notice that option)

    It is a cool feature, no doubt. I guess we all hope the AI is smart enough to begin with, but it would be handy in any bball game yeah.

    (Stay with ID monkey, Live won't be realistic 'if' you can just jump step/stop/pro hop your way to score at will or abuse the freestyle again on offense (as seen in IGN's vids). Keyword = if... also was a half joke, half assumption for all you Live fans ready to slice my throat yet again... )

    Thanks for the ID info too and don't even worry about saying you aren't promoting the game. With good features like that, a post to let people know is welcomed. =)

          Yes. Since the beginning you have always been able to adjust individual player sliders in ID. HV just gave us a little more to tweak in 2003. I already have ID'04 preordered and payed for, but I'm still checking out Live and ESPN, because I really don't have a favorite. I just gravitate to the game that replicates NBA gameplay the best, and ID has done that for me the past 2 yrs. I'm really hoping that Live has a breakout year though!

                I will look at all three games and probably buy all three again, but id 03 was, by far, imo, the best of 03 games . 2k3 and live03 did not measure up. hoping for vast improvement in all 3.

                      Hey Dave

                      2002 didn't have this...it had no game sliders also. I thought 2002 was okay, but way off a sim...2003 was definitely much, much better.

                      2004 seems to have been 'refined'...ie just fixing up the bugs from 2003 and adding much, much better stadiums and crowds.

                      LIVE, if played as a sim, isn't bad...and 2004 does have some nice stuff IMO.

                      ESPN also...i just pray it doesn't have the repetitive play / same team styles if 2K3. VC really went lazy with real play books etc in 2003...it was the most limited of all 3. I saw a post somehwere saying 2004 would have tonnes more plays...here's hoping
