Re: ***OS's Official College Hoops 2k8 Coach Mode Central***
don,
I am getting a little better steal results on AC.
I will let you know more soon. Let me know how you are doing as well.Comment

Re: ***OS's Official College Hoops 2k8 Coach Mode Central***
OK, it seems as though AC is better (re: steals), but not perfect. Averaging roughly 20 TOs per game per team. The TOs are not such a problem statistically, it is how they occur that is bugging me. If the CPU presses, my Gs break the press by heaving the ball 50 feet downcourt. OF COURSE THE DEFENSE IS GOING TO INTERCEPT THAT PASS. If I press, same result. This leads to some sloppy exchanges.
Now, every couple of games I would expect to see one of these wild turnoverfests for a 45-second span. I just cannot imagine a college team that would consistently try to break pressure by throwing Hail Mary's every possession.
I appreciate VC's 2k team programming the AI to throw entry passes to the post players, but over a third of those passes get stolen as well, which makes it pointless.
Next up: I may try dropping the level to WALK-ON to see what this affects.
Currently, my settings on ALL CONFERENCE include:
STEAL = 10
STEAL SUCCESS = 0
BALLHANDLING = 100
OFF AWARENESS = 55-60
DEF AWARENESS = 35
Not sure what else to do, or whether these sliders really impact the problem.
Looking to other PS2 players (donc, that means you for sure) for help, And ALL Coach Moders for general slider discussion (that is, what slider(s) you fell affect what gameplay issues).Comment

PC, in the game, actually played the same opponents as in real life with one exception. In the final of the Palm Tree Shootout, PC in real life played Miami (FL). In the game, they played Houston.
NOTE: I started Curry in the backcourt for PC. He has not played this year so I have started another test legacy with PC and with it's starting lineup. Those will be posted later.If you can read this, thank a teacher. If you can read this in english, thank a soldier.Comment

Re: my results after the test games
Wow, you have TOs much more under control than I do. Please post those sliders.
I noticed you are having a problem with Off Rebounding. I was too. My OR slider is around 80 now and it is working much better. It may also be necessary to boost your opponents crash board tendency each game, then drop it back afterward, but maybe we can fix this with sliders.
No one misses FTs, and fouls are non existent. FG%s are high in this game, and it is going to take a combination of % sliders and tendency sliders to fix. I am getting very close with mine, but I need to get steals down where you have them.
Your stats look pretty darn good. One other thing to mention, 2k legacy simmed stats do not really mimic real life as much as your stats do. Lower shooting %s, etc. I try and compare to legacy simmed stats since that is what my players are judged on in game (for awards, etc.). This will require a little more tweaking on my part to get those in line.
Post sliders when you can! Thanks!Comment

Re: ***OS's Official College Hoops 2k8 Coach Mode Central***
interesting observation I found. I have been trying to find a perfect balance of tendencies and it been head wrecking. so I crazy Idea to find out what tendancy is has the most priority. so in order to do that I turned all tendancies to zero. close, medium, 3pt, and drive. actually I am wondering if anyone can answer this question. with the tendancies all at zero does the computer then use the tendancies that is on the player tendancy chart. it seems after 3 games that I have a balanced combination of all. I have players shooting 3 pt, players driving, and players taking jumpshots. does turning all tendancies off or setting to zero forces the computer to use the player real tendancies. thanks.Comment

Re: my results after the test games
Here's what I got so far:
You and I, as we had discussed last year, look at the sliders/results much differently. You prefer to compare your results to the "virtual" world's results and I prefer to compare mine to what has already transpired on the courts in the "real" world.Code:-Any sliders not listed are at default GAMEPLAY Mode: Simulation Level: All-American Speed: Normal Half Length: 19 minutes Sim Half Ln: 20 minutes Real FT%: On Clutch: Off RULES All Settings: On All Other Fouls: MAX PRESENTATION: Cut Scenes: On GAME SLIDERS Shooting (100 max) Inside 43 Mid Range 56 3pt 53 Dunk Success 56 Layup Success 53 FT Success 0 Tendencies (100 max) Close 6 Mid 0 3pt 64 Drive 90 Attributes (100 max) O Awareness 40 D Awareness 46 Dunk 30 Ball Handling 40 O Rebounding 56 D Rebounding 50 Block 30 Steal 0 Speed 40 Gameplay (100 max) Screen Success 62 Screen Strength 55 Steal Success 0 Dunk in Traffic 0 Fitness (100 max) Fatigue Rate 35 Recovery Rate 53 Injury Freq 50 Injury Effect 53
The high free throw % that you saw is due to lack of attempts and fouls. I already have the fouls maxed. What do you suggest could be done to increase the number of fouls?
I also tend to not touch the other coach's settings nor any player's attributes/ratings. The people at EASports and the people who do the ratings for the 2k series do a great job in setting them.Last edited by doncoryell; 12-05-2007, 04:19 PM.If you can read this, thank a teacher.

-- The blocks went down because of the lack of blocked shots during the URI game.
-- The steals problem that we saw on the ps2 with 2k7 in this level and in the mop level still existsLast edited by doncoryell; 12-07-2007, 12:08 AM.If you can read this, thank a teacher. If you can read this in english, thank a soldier.Comment

Re: my new test results with PC (w/Curry as a reserve)
My Block slider is at around 70-80. This gets me 2-3 more fouls a game.
Steals are (of course) out of whack, but TOs are falling into place. TO me, this is more important for simulating gameplay.
I have OAware much higher than you, with DAware around 40. This may contribute to having open driving lanes for players. (I also have Help D and Recovery lowered.) This leads to more fouls on drives. I would say overall I do not see many more fouls than you do.
I will post my sliders soon. I still have a couple of major tweaks before I settle on anything, then I will roll them out and test them in front of everyone.Comment

Re: ***OS's Official College Hoops 2k8 Coach Mode Central***
also for sliders basically everything is default but I changed a few sliders. the ones I changed is down below
Tendancy Sliders =0 includes close, med, 3pt, drive
Offensive Awareness and Defensive Awareness =100
Offensive Rebound and Defensive Rebound= 100
Dunks in Traffic =0
Team Unity =100
All others is 50. I seem to get pretty good gameplay. if you can can you try those also and let me know how your gameplay is. thanksComment

Re: my new test results with PC (w/Curry as a reserve)
OAware = 55
DAware = 40
Block = 70
Help D = 40
Help Rec = 35
note - I have changed some settings and forgot to record them so these may be off a little.Comment
