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

[rushfrog]

Thanks greenie,
I just experienced one of my greatest games in my 2k history. Iggy nailed a 3point buzzer beater to knock me out, I'm still thrilled and realy depressed, but it was the first time i lost to a cpu buzzer beater so thanks for this.
I lead 38:21 after the first quarter and thought "wtf", but at 2:45 in the 4th the 76'ers tight the game at 100. And after hittng a jumper at 0.25 i was sure of winning but then came iggy and stabbed me in the back.
The stats are great and the game felt real and smooth.

Big thanks for these sliders. They don't need big changes, only thing is i felt blocking was too easy at some point in the game. I thought i'd definitely have around 13 but had just 8, thats ok. I'll start the second game now and have a look at the blocks.

You're welcome, man. Very glad you enjoyed the game and tried the sliders.

The stat engine loses blocks-- if you pause after blocks (especially when Clark & Kevin refer to it as a steal) you will see it hasn't been counted. But, yeah, blocks are a definite thing I'm focused on. As well as steals, pass acc and fouls. For some reason, I'm getting jobbed by the refs. Lol. Which is cool, preferable really. As long as they call a few.

Thanks a lot for the feedback. I look forward to more.

My steal sliders (Steal Success, Stealing, Hands) are a bit lower than the ones on the final set, maybe I'll look at them again with Greenie. Inbound passes are an issue, but try this: stay FAR from the inbounder, probabilities to catch the ball are higher, believe me. The closer you stay (and the closer to a defender) the more you'll miss the ball.

Sometimes, a guy just throws one away. That said, it's hard for me to get a handle on Pass Acc at 43, because some games I sail 1 and some games I sail 10. If it turns out I'm unjustifiably throwing the ball away 6+ times a game, then I will definitely address this.

Haha, I see Pass Acc is still somewhat of a problem? If it is truly irritating, another tip I have stumbled upon while playing is to inbound the ball to the receiver while you are moving him (i.e. from left-to-right running in front of the inbounder). A stationary pass receiver does seem to initiate these weird inbound passes, particularly when a defender is nearby. I have seen my inbounds turnovers fall pretty significantly by doing this. I primarily play with the Heat (I know, but I have been a DWade fan since I saw one of his Marquette games), and I have also seen Lebron do that bobble animation out of bounds as I was passing him the ball after a score. That seems like a more realistic turnover to me (and rare, as I have only seen it in that situation that one time).

Hope this helps some people out. Good job to greenieblue, Cesco, and everyone else, as always.

That's what it was! Thanks, man.

Why does everyone apologize for playing with the Heat?

Christ the Lakers have studs, the Celtics have studs....so what? Use the team you love and make no apologies.

Everyone thinks if you use the Heat your a weak player. But it actually takes a great player to rock with this team and know how to play a great sim like game with them. Any punk can iso all day with dozens of players in this game. But to watch and play a beautiful sim game with this team you need real basketball IQ and run tons of plays.

We have no center, no real stud at the point and a thin bench.

Go Heat!!!

Anyway....so happy to see these up....I will give them a run and if I love them I may have to spit on my set LMAO.

Thanks for the hard work Greenie...now stop and just play the game again.


Enjoy!

No doubt. Fouls are becoming a rock in my shoe, though... lol.

Thank you, A&S.

I really look forward to seeing what you think.

BTW I've been a fan of the Sixers since the... o.k., maybe that's unnecessary... LOL!

when i collide mid-air, it's an automatic foul for me. on my side, i realized that there's the normal block (Y) and the aggressive block which causes the foul (RT+Y)

I think it is about "foul draw" because I'm in an Association where almost the entire league is fictional. I looked through my team and the highest foul draw tendency is 57. So I may just have to go through the league and edit the stars foul draw tendencies.

No big deal. Just strange because you had so many and I have so few. Yours are not unrealistic however-- Denver just had a game w/ FTA in the 50's. But, I now feel like I can't go above 65 on the shooting foul slider and still have it work for everyone. That and, when I watch CPU v. CPU, you can put it in the 50's and have the #'s work out.
