I use Auto Playcalling and Auto Subs, as well.

************************************************** *****************************


I wanted to get a thread started that hopefully will turn into a community effort as we try and create a game that is both simulation, but also fair.

I have to thank Gotmadskillzson for a big tip in regards to playing user Defense. Thanks, bro!

Lowering the Quickness slider (this was Gotmadskillz's idea) helps cut down on all the sliding that I was seeing on the floor, especially the User end. Your players now feel like they have more weight to them. Don't worry, this won't change how fast the game plays or eliminate things like fast breaks.

The Clutch slider needed to come down. 35 is way too high and I believe that's why we have been seeing the CPU hit just about every shot they take when the shot clock winds down, and why the CPU was shooting such a high percentage from 3-pt. land. You could zero the slider out, which is what I like because I do want the Clutch attribute to kick in late in games.

I'm looking at the foul sliders now; the CPU seems to get a lot of calls when the go into the paint, so I'll have to look and see what we can do there to balance that out.

Fatigue is another one that's going to need a look; players don't seem to get tired on default settings. I see subs, but that's only because I have Auto subs on (Rotation). When I played a few games with Manual subs, I noticed my players always had 4-5 bars of energy.

I think the shooting sliders are good where they are now. I'll keep an eye on the CPU 3-pt. percentages, but again, with that Clutch slider lowered, I think you'll see that number drop a bit.

Re: DJ's All-Star Sliders

Thanks DJ I will have to try these out.

Thanks DJ I will have to try these out.

Let me know how it goes. I'm telling you, those 2 changes don't look like a lot, but they really make a difference. I've had some great games recently.

Re: DJ's All-Star Sliders

I am playing on Pro with the changes above, and added the change of dropping 3PT Success to 45 for both CPU and HUM. Had a great game Thunder vs. Spurs(me). I lost 95-91, KD had 33 points and 11 rebounds. Will post more stats later on! Thanks!

Re: DJ's All-Star Sliders

DJ, I'll give these suggestions a try for sure. I've been having a blast playing this game as well, and I feel like there's really only a few minor tweaks here and there to get the game to where I want it. I definitely know what you mean by giving the players some weight, "slowing" the game down. Hopefully these tweaks do the trick!

Yeah, for all the complaining out there, I really feel like this game plays very well out of the box. It's easy to get caught up in the spin cycle of negativity around here, but I just remind myself to have fun and make whatever changes I feel are necessary to get maximum enjoyment out of the game.

I'll keep you guys posted on any future changes ... 3-pt. sliders for CPU and Foul Sliders are two things I'm keeping a close eye on.

Re: DJ's All-Star Sliders

I set my fatigue slider to 70 for both human and CPU and the players are tiring out like they should be. I play on 8 min quarters.

Good find, Onpoint. I hadn't been paying much attention to Fatigue because I was using Auto Subs. I'll give that setting a shot and see what I think of it, as I play on 10-minute quarters.

i'm currently going back and forth between two other sets and i was interested in trying yours out since i am a fan of keeping as many of the sliders at default as possible.

when you test out fatigue, could you also determine a good setting for someone who plays less than 6-7 minutes? thanks

Re: DJ's All-Star Sliders

Re: DJ's All-Star Sliders

I am gonna try this, I find scrubs hitting way too many 3pointers.

I was scared quickness would decrease driuving to the hole and fastbreaks but you said it doesnt.. gonna try now

Hi DJ,

Thanks for posting your initial thoughts on sliders. Lowering quickness does wonders for this game.

Have you seen the discussions about increasing the ball handling slider? I did some limited testing last night, and it definitely reduces the bumping, and allows quick guards to get by their defenders more easier. Seems to me that a minor bump would be sufficient without making driving too easy.

As for the foul sliders, I've been using PuntNL's, and they seem to work well.

I'll keep testing whatever updates you make.

What did you change the ball handling slider to?

Re: DJ's All-Star Sliders

I've been unable to play for a week but ready to get back into the game. Are you guys seeing any issues that I may need to address?

[DJ]

Re: DJ's All-Star Sliders

I think I may turn Clutch OFF. I played last night for the first time in a week, and of course, this could be attributed to rust, but I was seeing the CPU nail contested shots all over the floor with the shot clock winding down.

I'm also going to drop 3-pt. Success down -2 for both the HUM and CPU.
