2K19: Return of The Sim Roster

[youALREADYknow]

*** NOTE: This roster project was merged with SimWorld and all roster related questions should be directed here: SimWorld NBA 2K19 MyLeague Experience

Here are some helpful supporting links for anyone who is interested in creating the same gameplay experience:

1. Full game streams to get a feel for how the game is playing using these settings.
STREAM LINK: https://mixer.com/youALREADYknow

2. Documentation for all Settings & Sliders to recreate this on your system using the SimWorld MyLeague roster.
DOC LINK: SimStyle Settings for SimWorld Roster

3. MyLeague Settings & Sliders
SETTINGS FILENAME: SimStyle-SimWorld
GAMERTAG: McFlurry84

4. Gameplay Sliders
SLIDERS FILENAME: SimStyle-SimWorld
GAMERTAG: McFlurry84
DIFFICULTY: CUSTOM from SUPERSTAR
GAME SPEED: 46

NOTE: I wouldn't recommend using any of these settings with another roster as the attribute scales, playbooks, and tendencies will not provide the same experience.

Here is Woody's youtube page for the sig shots. Most are very good.

Game streams should show up under Past Streams on my Mixer account. I'm usually under two modes (Player Lock vs CPU -or- CPU/CPU) so that I can get a feel for the AI controlled players with a little user input testing.

There's a game up now where I'm in Player Lock at PG with the Rockets against the Nuggets last night. Both teams are ~75% finished in editing attributes/tendencies/playbooks, but I still haven't touched most of the sigs. That game was mostly a playbook test of the Play Types. There's an issue where only certain Play Types get called at the start/end of games and without them the AI runs the team's default Series. The Rockets had no Isolation or Guard Post Up Play Types set, therefore the game chose to run the Point series until the first substitution for CP3/Harden. They also ran it at the end of games where most teams in 2K19 choose to run Iso/Post for their stars.

So the issue is take out iso playtypes so they don’t overuse during game but then they run their freelance at the end?

I’ve been playing with the Warriors, ACE On, and AUTO play calling per Da Czars suggestion.

The game is constanstly calling for post ups with Durant and Klay. I understand they are both solid in the post, but the Warriors do not play offense that way on a regular basis.

I’m looking forward to seeing your adjustments and the impact they have on the game. Thanks!

The only way to change that would be to remove guard posts up from their play types.

Would you possibly be able to post your playbooks for each team when you finish them. I'd really like to use them in my personal roster

No problem. I’ll create a doc online with Playbooks and Play Types once the first roster is posted. You should also check with Vann and get some of his knowledge in there on sets that some coaches are running. I’m mostly focused on removing busted play designs and setting up stars in their ideal locations (high p&r, right side play initiation for lefties, top of the key face ups for bigs who pass, etc) in this first release.

I’m going team-by-team so expect to see only 4-6 teams in the first one with updates every couple weeks for new teams. Docs will be linked in the OP.

That’s it. Isolation and Guard Post Up are removed entirely from my roster unless 2K fixes the issue.

It’s really a shame that Czar/OG have so many actual NBA concepts in here that the AI can’t use correctly. I’m considering using Post Up High as the Guard Post Up replacement for certain players (Shaun Livingston for example) but need to make sure it doesn’t result in too many post ISO’s.

I don't mind it for a guy like Livingston because it's his go-to.

Lebron likes to post so I left it in there for him. He posted up the first 4 plays of the game. That's not right. I thought it was maybe because I had Wes Matthews on him so they perceieved a mismatch. So I restarted the game with Harrison Barnes on him. Nup, still the same.

Im going to leave his post up tendency up reasonable high because the AI does go to the post on mismatches off switches. This might work as a bandaid.

Dirk- I think this may be a bug. The persistant guard post-ups, particularly in the first quarter, happen with the Warriors as well. (Durant and Klay)

I'm not seeing it with the Warriors on my roster. It's clearly a bug/issue, but can be prevented based on testing.

What Play Types do you have assigned for Klay and what is your Run Plays coaching slider set to?

Default roster, default all-star sliders (with a few changes to the movement sliders)

Dirk- are you still using 80 (max) / 20 (min) for your movement sliders?

I’m using 80/20, acceleration- 65, speed- 57, and lateral quickness- 45.

Global game speed- 50

Feels pretty good to me.
