The Purist(s) NBA 2K11 Sliders (Post-Patch)

[black man]

First off, excellent sliders greenie. Plays great. Great stats. Mimics real life NBA as much as I've seen a bball sim.

My issue...I HATE all star. It plays great and I love the cpu's intelligence...until the last 2 to 3 minutes when video game logic takes over. You can almost pinpoint the time for the computer to make its "run." I don't mind losing games when I start taking bad shots, become undisciplined on D and resort to "video game" tactics. But I hate feeling like a game is just stolen from me...to have a unbelievable realistic experience for a good 45 min real time, to end up feeling like a waste.

Again, great work.

I feel you man, but keep trying. Yesterday I started messing with defensive settings and now I make life much more difficult for the CPU. Like Greenie already said in a pair of post, play tight both on-ball and off-ball on players who like to kill you with jumpers coming out of blocks, double in the post players like KG and strong centers. Sag off on players who drive all the time instead of putting up jumpers. Defenders who sag off are more likely to steal passes too! Yesterday I still lost two games out of three, but I lost by a few points instead of 20. I'm almost there (keep dreaming Cesco, keep dreaming, eh eh).

I still feel that sometimes CPU makes absurd runs and throw up forced shoots that you never see when they are ahead, but lately I've become a much more challenging player for the CPU :-D

Yeah, you definitely have to adjust your defensive settings. I'm just trying to find a good balance w sliders between cpu's offensive awareness and its absurd shooting. The love the way the cpu moves the ball and its tendencies, but there are quite of few shots that should NOT be dropping.

Upping the user defensive awareness slider and playing on ball d (gotta stop the ball, force the cpu to go to its 2nd, 3rd read) helped eliminate a good amount of open shots and cut off some of the passes that shouldnt' go thru your defense.

Yeah, I agree. Maybe I'm paranoid at this point, but I often see the 2 minutes shooting spree by the CPU when everything drops. Doing on-ball defense and setting defensive assignements can reduce a lot CPU chances to go berserk :-D

On PS3, they are current. I don't know about XBOX.

1.3 doesn't do anything to gameplay. They are designed on 1.2.

Bingo!

I'm talking out my ***, btw. I've won one game on AS. But in theory...

[greenieblue]

If we are going to seal this one up-- finalize the set-- I need stats and tons of the them. But only if you play with the sliders exactly as posted.

Otherwise, 3.5 is final.

Thanks. Am guessing no good for player lock then. Will try them though.
