"Game Speed" make a big difference

[Luke Skywalker]

Since the new patch dropped, the game changed drastically. The speed of the game, the players in gameplay animation they feel different when you move (too much fluidity, players used to feel weighted in a sense). I have been tinkering with sliders to no avail.

I recently dropped the Game Speed from 50 to 42 and wow a big difference. I finished a quarter Nets (me) vs Raptors (CPU) [NBA Today], Superstar/Sim with User Timing, score was 22-17 and I shot 39% and Raptors shot 38%. Lovely! I saw a lot of missed shots from the CPU. It was an overall great experience.

My experience at 50, the game felt too fast and button mashing and the CPU bangs a lot of shots. Not the case with the settings at 42 speed.

Give it a try. The speed also helps out with Help Defense and deters Points in the Paint by the CPU (which has been a legacy issue in 2K). Raptors had only 4 points in the paint andn I had 6 after 1 quarter. I had work so I couldn't play anymore.

Re: "Game Speed" make a big difference

its the exact opposite for me also. the game is really sluggish and less responsive now.

people will get different opinions based on the team that they use. Tempo and pace of a team influences how the game plays out.

IMO, the game doesnt handle change of pace very well anyways.

2k needs to bring back the temp sliders under the teams coach settings.
I think they lumped all theses sliders into the game speed setting. theyve removed a bunch of coaching/team sliders over the years. they need to bring these sliders back next year.

Right m, I need game speed on at least 65 to get a satisfactory gameplay output.

I'm part of the lot that suffer from sluggish gameplay at the core of yhr software procesdes so gsmeplay is sluggy even offline.

I agree with you. I always thought the game played better on a slower speed. It even seems to help with warping and speed boosts. The animations seem smoother and more realistic. But, its probably just a personal preference.

Same here. Historically, I have always preferred a slower, more deliberate game. It was the only way to slow down players covering too much ground. This year however, I am rolling with 70 game speed and it just feels right. Jumpshots feel so smooth and natural now.

Yea OP is right on the money with this, you got guys playing with gamespeed at 65? lol And you got people wondering where Sim basketball went?...I keep mine at 44-45 and it's fantastic.

Everyone has their preference.

I played with mine at 50...only sluggishness I notice is in online play...

Oh I'm not debating that with you, but unless you are dropping the Speed and acceleration attributes by at least 20 in the sliders, anything above 50 in terms of game speed is not even close to simulation basketball...

I watch a lot of NBA games when I can (sadly, live outside of USA, so broadcast are ~1-4 am).

Sorry to say this to you, but even on 50 game speed, it doesn't even resamble what happens on real life court lol. It's still slowish. I would move it to ~70 so game pace will be at least close to real life lol.

Also, is it me, or do Cavs rotate a lot between man-to-man, 2-3 Zone and 3-2 Zone? They switched constantly vs Wizards today. That included a lot of player switching.

Unfortunately, we have to rely on play calling, instead of game flowing free and selecting best course of action on it's own. My human brain sees plays game does not see therefore the pass will never go to the receiver I want (on 2k16, on 2k15 it did work MUCH better fyi) .

This game needs passing patching BIG time. Dunno what the feck 2k/VC did this year, but passing is hit/miss most of the time even when set to Directness...

Re: "Game Speed" make a big difference

Online and offline with Game Speed at 50, this game feels so fast to me. Everyone moves like lightning. You are all saying the opposite which is kind of odd. I like it on 42 now.

As someone mentioned, it's all User Preference, that's why 2K gave us sliders to tailor the gameplay.

I think preference should better defined when it comes to video games, I think as a community were trying to work within a frame thru sliders and so forth, sometimes I really think it comes down to those who play and those who know how to play, it's interesting how much the game opens up when you learn moves.

Re: "Game Speed" make a big difference

Well for me game speed doesn't change anything at all, thing that bother me at most is that i have very little control over player plus i can't see difference controlling Stephen Curry from Bismack Biyombo.

All sports game that problem, there is really no real way to make a player like themselves in real life. Madden has this issue, it's like the players are soul less.
