NBA 2K13: Finding the Right Gameplay Blend With Sliders

[esinrada]

Do they not research before writing an article? You cant download sliders anymore. Th is writer obviously had a deadline to meet and this is what we got? An article about using sliders to make the game fit your taste...duh.

What's the deal with people doing the "real shot %" on FGs and FTs? Does this mean that the release doesn't matter at all? If so, that's super garbage and I don't see why anyone would do that.

First: why would you care what someone else does with their game?

Second: Real Shot% does take into account release point. I can totally flub a free throw with a great shooter, and it'll miss most times. Seems to me you need to hit the release point accurately and then the player's real life % comes into effect.

Some people (myself included) like to let the player ratings matter more by taking a human element away that we could master in a mere few hours. We find more satisfaction in getting an open shot in our offense than hitting an open shot because we let go of a button at the right time. To each there own!

Real Shot % doesnt take into account release. You can HOLD the shot stick and never release it and the shot will go in if the player's FT% is high enough.

NBA 2K13 for PC would like a word or two with the devs also, I'm sure.

Just saying, but that IS how basketball works in real life, so you aren't alone here.

honestly i get great games with the default sliders. I haven't started my official association yet, i'll wait for the season opener to do that, but in the meantime i'm gonna just tinker with them maybe slightly. I get great games although i do think the defense can be vamped up or maybe the offense toned down slightly. But i think this game plays great.
