9.7 for Dick Long? Sounds about right.

Posted this on another thread too but.... What camera view lets you get views close to this?

Sometimes I like watching CPU vs CPU games on the overhead camera, I'm curious about if there's a in stands camera like this.

I had my friends at work dying when they seen this. Still can't get over it haha.

His ability to penetrate inside is off the charts.

However, he always shoots too quick.

Ok so I have increased the ratings for all the best players and best teams. But when I start my open legacy the CPU does not have the best players starting. Does anyone know why? Do I need to set CPU rotations and if so how?

If you want to post something you've found, make sure it's not already in the manual, the tutorial, or the in game tip menus.

YOUR GUIDE TO BETTER SLIDERS

Here is the result of multiple seasons simmed at 20 minute half length. Check the team stats at the end of each game to make sure they are within these following ranges. If they are off, adjust the corresponding slider shown in parenthesis as needed.

Points = 56-90 (GAMEPLAY- minutes per half)
FG Attempts = 48-62 (GAMEPLAY- minutes per half)
FG % = 37-48 (SLIDERS: SHOOT- Inside, Mid, 3pt, Dunk, Layup)
3pt Attempts = 10-26 (SLIDERS: SHOOT TENDENCY- 3pt)
3pt % = 26-42 (SLIDERS: SHOOT- 3pt)
FT Attempts = 19-35 (RULES- fouls, and in particular shooting fouls)
FT % = 55-78 (GAMEPLAY- FT difficulty, or Real Player FT ON)
Assists = 8-18 (SLIDERS: ATTRIBUTES- Offensive Awareness)
Turnovers = 9-21 (SLIDERS: ATTRIBUTES- Offensive Awareness, Defensive Awareness, Ball Handling)
Fouls = 15-26 (RULES- fouls)
Rebounds = 26-36 (SLIDERS: ATTRIBUTES- Offensive Rebounds, Defensive Rebounds)
Offensive Rebounds = 7-11 (SLIDERS: ATTRIBUTES- Offensive Rebounds)
Steals = 4-10 (SLIDERS: GAMEPLAY- Steal Success, SLIDERS: ATTRIBUTES- Steal)
Blocks = 1-6 (SLIDERS: ATTRIBUTES- Block)

Note: You can get pretty good numbers on the default slider settings. I suggest finding the right difficulty level first, and then adjusting sliders for fine tuning.

FINDING THE RIGHT DIFFICULTY LEVEL

Here is a brief rundown of the three highest difficulty settings:

MOP- To play on this level you must have a very good feel for the controls, and that means knowing most of the animations and how to trigger them. You also must game plan pretty heavily and do things like: get to know your team's strengths, create a playbook suited for your team, know when to call timeouts, change strategy to fit the situation, and finally... You must be able to accept defeat by a better team.

ALL AMERICAN- This level allows you to play with less game planning. You can probably get away with leaving your coaching settings (crash boards/transition defense, etc.) the same throughout the season, and you probably can get away with little to no scouting of the other team. You still need a good feel for the controls and the animations, and it also helps to know your team's scorers.

ALL CONFERENCE- With this level I think the only real necessary thing is having at least a pretty firm grasp of the controls. You can play very loose and try different things without it hurting you too much. You also really don't need to do much strategy at all, though it'd certainly benefit you to do so in big games.

Ok so I'm tryin sumthin new... I want to live out my childhood dream of goin pro via college. I want to create sum kinda my player mode that tracks thru nba2k8 (Ps3). Here are my ideas to get started but I wud love sum helpful feedback on how to make it as realistic as possible.


I graduated high school in 08 which wud make me a hs senior recruit in legacy mode year one. Realistically I cud have gone to Howard as a point guard (which works out perfectly for my simultaneous legacy mode with said school).
To avoid the hassle of tryna recruit myself in legacy mode, I just created myself at the main screen and redshirted on Howard. (first time I jacked up my stats and simmed the first year. My player went pro without playing a single college game lol)
I am playing with both player lock and player lock camera view.
I wud like to play realistic games with 20min halves.


I plan on continuing my career in nba2k8 by exporting/importing draft class if and hopefully wen my player decides to go pro.


Any Suggestions???

If you have the newer games, you could just dl a draft class and replace one of the player in that class with yourself. Once your "my player" graduated or left early for the pros, use http://www.operationsports.com/forum...readsheet.html to get the converted ratings and use them to replace a player already in the draft class.

Re: The College Hoops 2K8 esoteric information thread (learn and discuss the arcane)

I created a roster file and manually edited every rotation to 8 - 10 man rotations but in legacy every team is playing all 12 active guys 32 of 32 games when simulating. Is there an answer to solving this?

Did you edit both the primary and alternative rotations? You will need to do this every year. I also play with injuries off because with injuries the rotations get screwed up.

Re: The College Hoops 2K8 esoteric information thread (learn and discuss the arcane)

I have 2 power forwards and 2 centers on my roster. I have adjusted every lineup available. Starters, bench, 3 pointers, height ect to not have the centers or power forwards play at the same time. I have made all 4 play equal minutes equaling 40 MPG. Every single game when subs happen somehow I will have both Centers in. One playing PF and the other C. And then they will sub out and both PFs will be in and then someone when a center comes back in he is now playing PF and the PF is playing Center. Is there anyway around this or do I have to do manual substitutions every game?

Anyone else have issues with custom play books making your game freeze while playing? Some of my custom play books play fine and some freeze my game. I tried a search and didn't dig up anything.
