This. You absolutely cannot go into this game without editing the sliders (and if you're like me player tendencies) to suit your opinion on what a fun basketball game to be.


The default sliders and tendencies are nonsensical and don't have a lot of nuance/thought behind them

Ok i will give this a go. I had a couple good games in a row against the CPU then it went right back to the CPU forgetting how to play.

Another thing, is the CPU programmed to keep the game close? I noticed the CPU struggling to run offense when i am also struggling to score(poor timing etc). Then if i go on a run the CPU starts to score again. The good games i had i was also playing very good offense...

CPU got insanely inconsistent after the patch. I have them at high sliders and I just played a game where they shot 28% FG for the game. The game before they shot 64% from 3 and wouldn’t miss.

I have them just about right defensively but offensively they’re either way off or on fire. Sliders work for some games then turn out to be way off in others.

I guess adjusting shooting sliders and offensive awareness etc. sliders is next if their offenses continue to stink.

Exactly this. One game they run offense and flow and the next they keep dribbling right up to the defender and take a heavily contested shots. Its like they dont even try to dribble by the defender to create offense. It's incredibly infuriating

Tried 100 cpu awareness 60 take 3 and 55 backcut and the celtics still couldnt run any kind of offense. They can't seem to run a play decently or by a defender. They ended up scoring 56pts on 21% and most of their points came on offensive put backs.

What do you have defensive settings at? You might need to jack up CPU defense sliders in order to make scoring harder for you. The game works on momentum so if you go cold often they’ll go hot.

I pushed CPU on ball/defense consistency and awareness, lateral quickness to 90+ and they got harder to score on. Then I put close shot/layup defensive strength/help D strength at 60 (for both sides) and making jump shots became very hard (I don’t know why but those sliders definitely affected my ability to make contested shots even though I tried lowering jump shot defensive strength sliders down to 10 to compensate) which meant winning games became much harder. It wasn’t all that fun being unable to shoot but it became challenging.

I changed those defensive sliders I had at 90+ to 80 and I changed the defensive strength sliders all back to 50 for both sides, except jump shot strength at 25 (my original settings) and played one game and blew the other team out as they couldn’t make any shots. Your ability to score affects their ability to score.

Try taking midrange shots at 52

Taking 3 pointers at 54

Attack the basketball at 48

Offense awareness at 100

Offense consistency 98

Look for post players 52

Take post shots 52

Try these sliders on Hall of fame

This 100%

But why???

At the very least, why are tendencies not updated until someone becomes a superstar or establishes themselves in the league and their rookie year tendencies no longer make sense?

If it is generally understood that the base set doesn’t make sense, why does the roster team put that out or not update it? How big/small is the team?
