HOLY S#!T SLIMM, what's up man?

I think it may be different for everyone contributing to this (I probably should have specified) but we're testing HUM/CPU.

I have mine on All-Star difficulty and have adjust the sliders to the coefficients thread.

The only variation is back door cut is 20 for CPU. and +10 for HUM in defensive rebounding.

Having the back door cut lowered for the CPU makes a huge difference in how often they try to test whether or not their human defender is paying attention. It gets down right silly sometimes with me constantly wiggling the stick just to keep a big guy from cutting to the lane.

I think it may be tied to attack the basket/drive the lane tendency.

This thread has kind of strayed from its original course (largely my fault) because I'm seeing more and more that drive the lane tendency being unneccarily high for all players in "EVERY" Roster keeps me from making coach profile edits that would make a team more aggressive.

Haha, when I do get around to undertaking a Roster overhaul (post Reditor) I'm going to apply your scale so I have a few questions ill PM you about SLIMM, but I'm starting to think that Drive the lane is not subjective.

Only cpu vs cpu.

Oh . . . Well color me wrong. I don't even know what a CPU vs CPU game looks like. Is it drastically different?

Without any customization,out of the box it's a complete mess.
But I think it's a good way to understand the engine and how this(engine) managed the numbers of this game(ratings,tendencies,coach profiles etc...).

True, minus human error and bad defense, I can see your point. Are points in the paint still an issue when the CPU plays itself?

Of course.In a cpu vs cpu you're going to see every flaws you normally see in hum vs cpu game...multiplied per 10!

@bigtreydawg

What sliders do you use? And roster?

Been following this thread awhile too...though I am mostly a 2k12 guy I also test strictly CPU v CPU because in my mind its the only way to truly get a feel for gameplay. The user brings in too many external variables that contaminate the sample. What I am finding in 12 and 13 is that coach profiles play a much bigger role in gameplay than what I originally wanted to acknowledge.

The drive the basket dilemma is interesting. Lowering it leads to better spacing but more standing around. Raising seems to lead to more movement but also more lane clutter. How are you finding balance with this?
