Stumpy's NBA 2K25 CPUvCPU / Simulation Sliders

[dman08]

Ok question for you. I haven't bought the game because all I play in my sports games are cpu vs cpu and for a while now 2k has exaggerated the amount of shots a start player gets when playing cpu vs cpu. I'm talking a minimum of 25 shots for guys like Dame and other stars like him. They constantly would get in the mid 30s as far as shot attempts which just took away from the experience to me. This is why I haven't purchased 2k25 yet. With your sliders is there a lil more disparity when it comes to shot attempts per game? Like if u watch a game w the Lakers are lebron and AD getting 70+ shots collectively or is it more spread between the team? And can u show some screen shots of your box scores

With my sliders there is definitely disparity on a consistent basis, but that doesn't mean superstars won't sometimes have games where they take 25+ shots. It still happens, but it is nowhere close to every single game. I will try to share screenshots from my last few games on the current slider set when I get the chance.

Attached is a screenshot of 4 boxscores on the 4.2.3 slider set, which was uploaded on 12/8.

Just started my Nuggets dynasty with your newest sliders. Two games in and looking pretty good with stats. First game, Nuggets 115 Thunder 113. Second game, Nuggets 131 Clippers 121.

Any suggestions which Substitution Method to use? Fatigue, Rotation, or ACE? Or does it really make a difference?

Thanks for sharing the sliders!!!

I've personally been using Rotation after hand-crafting the actual rotation myself, haven't used the other two so can't say for sure for those.

These are playing great. Very impressed. I would like to see a few more turnovers per game as they seem to be on the low side. Any recommendations on how to increase turnovers without breaking other things?

Thanks

This is one of the few things I've struggled with - the things I would try are:


1. decreasing pass accuracy (this would also result in more 'bobbles' when players pass out of a shot which I'm not necessarily a fan of)
2. increasing defensive awareness (I believe this would help make players more aware of passing lanes and when a pass is being made)


One of my only problems with this set outside of lack of turnovers is that Pick and Rolls seem to work over 90% of the time so I'd be curious to see if increasing defensive awareness would make that more realistic without affecting anything else in a major way.
