Here is some more games, the Nuggets game went to overtime. No matter the sliders my team always wins lol. Here is what I think of the sliders sorry it's very long.
I am liking the new set however I feel the large increase to jumpshot defense has made for a much more boring game. Maybe I'm overreacting but I feel like guys just hit open shots and miss contested shots and I'm not seeing much middle ground like you see in real games. The most negative effect this has is a nearly non existant midrange offense.
With 3s you have more chance to get separation but not in midrange. Guys will always have a defender in front of them. So guys dont take the shots and when they do their success chance is so small. My PF Zach Randolph has become a shell of himself now he never takes midrange shots and when he does they dont have much of a chance. The Nuggets #1 pick has 98 midrange and killed me earlier in the year but now even in an overtime game he had just 10 points and barely shot the ball at all.
With the jumpshot defense at 10 it felt like any shot had a chance to go in like watching a real NBA game - even with hand in their face they are still going to make some, especially elite shooters. And just cause they are covered doesnt mean they won't try to shoot. In my games it seems to me like all scores are either open 3 pointers (which has caused the number of attempted 3s per game to drop to about 20 per game for each team) or layups. Speed becomes overly important because if you aren't getting separation they just wont shoot and if they do its misses. Guys like JJ Reddick or Kyle Korver are almost useless and like I said it just feels boring to watch.
This is a very tough slider to get right though because when it was at 10 I was first in points per game by over 10 and last in points per game against so there was too much scoring. I think the lowered game speed to 48 helps that, and so I think i will try leaving the rest of the sliders but lowering jump shot defense to 20 or somewhere around there and see how that goes but I am worried about scoring too many points. Maybe lowering jump shot defense and also lowering shooting success might work.
