gu8lal8's COMPETITIVE sliders

[gu8lal8]

How we play and use these sliders.

Spoiler

I play offline only vs CPU (on Superstar) and vs another USER (on All-Star) on PS4. We play Season mode with default 2K rosters, we try to keep the roster up to date (except injuries), we adjust the OVR ratings (with Intangibles and Off/Def Consistency) and do some position changes to have closer to real life rotations. For some bigs (Howard, Jordan, Marjanovic, Griffin, Millsap, ...) we also remove badges by leveling down all badges except personality badges. I do keep my in season roster up to date using import player DNA, that's why I don't adjust tendencies., we also use 'Force None Starter' if possible. Ben Simmons and John Wall are out for the season (personal reasons).

We (user1: Nets, user2: Lakers) use these sliders in offline season mode (control all teams) with Official 2K Play Now rosters.
I try to keep them up to date w/ Import Player DNA (except real life injuries), especially the top teams.

Primarily we play full games as each others opponent USER vs USER (my All-Star slider set), with our own team we play with Shots only (because we know the shot releases), with the opponent teams we play with Real Player % (Shot Timing N/A). In blowout games we Simcast the rest of the game or keep on playing vs CPU to test some things (defensive settings, bench players, playbooks). When playing vs CPU (my Superstar slider set) we play with Shots only. Sometimes we simulate entire games (vs bad teams), sometimes we use Simcast to simulate the 1st half and play 2nd half USER vs USER or CPU vs USER, this creates extra challenge because you have to deal with foul trouble or maybe you're behind by 10. In the playoffs 'opponent teams' are only allowed to play with Real Player % in home games, this way home court advantage really makes a difference.

The main goal of these sliders is to have competitive games vs CPU and USER. It's been our experience playing sports games (all NBA 2K, PES, FIFA series) for over 20 years, you have to level up to have a competitive experience against the CPU.
Secondary goal is when playing vs CPU, have those teams play like USER controlled teams (not like their real life counterpart per se). A USER will look for the drive to the basket, then look for the post mismatch and lastly will try the P&R.

Control All Teams
Camera - Skybox (Zoom - 10 | Height - 1 | Key Zoom - On | Reverse Angle - Off)
Injuries - On (keep day-to-day, 1-2 weeks and 2-4 weeks reduce anything longer to 2-4 weeks, except those who're out for the rest of the season IRL)
Team Chemistry - Off (you'll see minor changes in OVR ratings and ATTRIBUTES, up and downs of the season)
Trades - Off (we like to keep our roster up to date, except injuries and H&S protocols)

I like competitive 12min quarter games and I don't like to tinker with sliders too much, I only listed the changes you need to make. These are my settings ATM:

Re: gu8lal8's COMPETITIVE sliders

The problems I'm having ATM:
- Not enough CPU FT attempts (legacy issue)
- Not enough turnovers (legacy issue)
- Too much OFF rebounds (legacy issue)

All other stats are ok
- CPU on ball defense is ok when going 1 on 1 but once I start running plays or manual P&R the CPU team defense seems braindead and I can get to the rim or FT line at will (only in the last 4-5 days)
CPU team defense used to be ok when I set CPU Defensive Gameplan & Matchups before the game, but not in the last 4-5 days

Re: gu8lal8's COMPETITIVE sliders

Hey I remember your amazing work with the magnificent MJWizards on some 2k retro rosters <3

I've also tried to slightly adjust Superstar default sliders.
The problem is that you literally have to "green" every shot (thus making zero deference between a good shooter and an average one) plus they enable zero contested shots/jumpers (even slightly contested) for both sides at least.

But I'll try them later and let you know!

Just bump up USER shooting sliders with ** +2 if you're having trouble knocking down shots.
Playing on Real Player % also helps.

Re: gu8lal8's COMPETITIVE sliders

I like the idea of not tweaking too many sliders. I think when you do, then you get into one thing having an effect on many things and you wind up chasing your tail trying to get a good game.

Played only one game but it was competitive up until the last couple minutes when I managed to pull away. Which IMO feels ok.

FG% was too high for both teams, so I'll drop both 2 points and see how that goes. But again, it was competitive and that's what we want, right?

One thing I'd watch however, is 100 setting on the moving screens fouls. Those get called too much at 100, I think a default of 50 would be ok there.

[Fcshuckers73]

Re: gu8lal8's COMPETITIVE sliders

Help please....im using real %....So, am I interpreting the settings correctly? For example- Inside shot success would be 54 for CPU and 44 for User........ interpreting it would be 50 for user if on Shot Timing, but I have to subtract 6 since I'm using real %

CPU Shot Timing Impact 0 = CPU Real Player %
If you're on Superstar CPU @ USER: (Updated Jan. 25 2022)
- Mid-Range Shot Success - 50** @ 50** (using Shots only)
- Mid-Range Shot Success - 50** @ 46** (using Real Player %)

I've modified the 1st post, it should be clearer now.
If you're using Real Player % -> USER sliders with ** -4

If CPU FG% is too high/low -> CPU sliders with ** -2/+2
If USER FG% is too high/low -> USER sliders with ** -2/+2

You described what I'm going for perfectly.

If FG% is too high for both teams -> CPU&USER offense sliders with ** -2.

We play with these vs CPU (Superstar) and vs USER (All-Star) offline.
We have moving screen fouls at 100 to create more turnovers and to limit the manual P&R abuse.
They get called too much for off-ball screens but we're willing to make that compromise.
For on-ball screen it's perfect at 100, it limits the abuse of the manual P&R (and on-ball screens) a little bit, the ball handler needs to wait for the screener to get set.

Re: gu8lal8's COMPETITIVE sliders

If CPU FG% is too high/low -> CPU sliders with ** -2/+2
If USER FG% is too high/low -> USER sliders with ** -2/+2

Thank You for the clarification! I'll give these a shot ....game speed I assume is 50 since it is t listed.

We use these sliders offline vs CPU and vs another USER, so we keep game speed at 50. If you're only playing vs CPU, you can bump up game speed.
For us with CPU Shot Timing Impact slider at 0 (=CPU Real Player %) vs CPU, game speed at 50 is perfect.


When playing vs CPU this is the best thing to do: (Updated Jan. 25 2022)

Start on default sliders (whatever your level is on offense).
Max out all the foul frequency sliders for CPU & USER (100).
Change the CPU Shot Timing Impact slider to 0 (=CPU Real Player %).
Decrease the following CPU offense sliders by 4:
CPU Inside Shot Success -4
CPU Close Shot Success -4
CPU Mid-Range Shot Success -4
CPU 3PT Success -4
CPU Layup Success -4
CPU Alley-Oop Success -4
CPU Contact Shot Success -4

Now you have a completely different game, Real Player % for the CPU.
If USER FG% is too high/low then level up/level down and make the changes above again (rinse and repeat)
If CPU FG% is too high/low then change CPU offense sliders above -2/+2

Perfect. I appreciate the explanation. The only questions I have are....1- Are there enough turnovers? I know it won't ever reach real #s but turnovers are important to limit the amount of crazy passes and also helps with keeping shot totals on par with real life 2- are there enough variation is shot types with tendencies at 50?.......I see some set with 3pt tendency at 90 but that creates too many threes. I have had mid range at 75 and 3 or at 70 with others at 50 and that produced decent results. Just curious on the shot distribution
