Re: ninjamonkey and ninjak2\'s slider thread (NBA 2K3)

Hey bigeast, it sounds like you are guarding the PG all the time. Have you tried letting the computer guard him? I usually use the SF on defense. I play man up on my guy, sag to the paint to help on defense and crash the boards. I started doing this when I realized that I had troubles stopping the PG (who is usually the team's best ballhandler) off the dribble. Try it and see if you like it.

Just to let you know, I'm playing with Seattle on All-Star w/ 12 min. quarters. I've been trying to tweak the sliders to make things more competitive, but I still ending up blowing out teams by 40+ - even played Sacramento on the road last night and won by 55. The game was competitive for a quarter, but then they missed everything under the sun and finished up shooting 36% from the field while I shot 61%.

Drop it downlow to duncan and shaq or any great low post player and work down low and then go around the defender...he will go around the defender majority of the time and score. The defense doesnt come to help on time and i score everytime with duncan or shaq....One more thing ...how do i get shaq on the computer to dunk on me? he posts up and when he cant get around me he does a jumper instead of pounding down and getting a dunk or hook shot....the rest is perfect ninja

You could either increase the dunk/layup vs shot tendency for the cpu(increase the likely hood for them to go for a dunk?layup), or reduce A.I. close shot tendency by 3 or 4 clicks and drop med by 1 or 2.

Defensive Stopping power decreases or increases the speed that you come off of the defender with(low slider equals faster, high slider equals slower). I'd say increase this if you are having to much success spinning off of people.

mvb34,
i dont think the sliders affect online play because i think online play uses dedfault sliders.

guys, i do not have the PG problem you guys do, you just have to play really good defense. play tight, not loose. if you play tight enough the PG will pass. if the PG begins to do the pivot thing and you think he is going to drive, let the cpu defend him, and become another defender under the basket to stop him.

also, i suggest you guys try out ninjak2's sliders.

Ive had the exact same problem with the PG also.
Yesterday i played the hornets and Baron Davis lit me up with 48 pts and he went to the line 23 times and sinking 17 and all of the fouls was becuz of him driving thru the lane and everytime i try to foul i get hooked with the foul.
And i just finish a game against the Magic and for some reason McGrady was the PG and he was 15-20 from the ft line and it it was all in the lane.
How do i prevent this.

<hr /></blockquote><font class="post">

I HATE this too. Lower the Shooting Fouls slider. And lower the AI Dunk/Layup vs. Shot Tendecy.

I've had the PG like stop at the Free Throw line and sorta wait. When I'm stopped in front of him, he just drives running into me and getting the And-one, shot and foul. It's crazy. I even lowered all the PGs ratings before i started the season. This PG bug is too annoying. Even the leagues worst PGs will put up 20+ every game.

I think if you are having problems you should reduce shooting fouls by 2-3 clicks. Or reduce the A.I. dunk/layup terndency (not vs. shot tendency) by 5-10. Unfortunately, having the cpu drive is the best way to keep the games competetive IMHO.

man, those sliders r easy. i aint even that good at this game. i was the celtics vs the pistons and beat em by 30 with 5 min quarters. pierce had 31, with 5 min quarters! they play no d. i didnt even shoot the 3. i had to stop giving it to pierce to keep it realistic. e. williams had 10, delk had 10, bremer had 8 and, walker 10, and battie 5. the most realistic thing is the fouls. but the CPU still barely got ne free throws. how can this game get harder, its too easy!

I don't know Andrew. You could try increasing the defensive awareness some (maybe 12-14?or higher) raise blocks by 4-5 clicks and increase defensive stopping power some, maybe by 2-3 clicks. You could also drop layups% and medshot% by one for home and away. Experiment. Also, check the boards for other sliders. Antigravity has just posted his own set that he feels makes the game more challenging for him. Check them out.

There are all different skill levels and playing styles for 2k3 and what's tough for some, may not be unfortunately for others.

There's only one real way to stop it, you have to go behind the pick and be waiting for the PG...that stops him driving...and it helps the game as he then passes. Even if the PG is crap, often use a souble team so that someone is waiting for him the 'other side' of the pick.

Only problem is, he'll often get an easy assist to a free guy under the bucket. This game is frustrating ...
