I love V1.4 as a base set!! I'm using them along with the OS Roster and they play great. I love the flow of the game, rebounding, fast breaks, etc.
I'm a pretty experienced 2k player so a challenge/realism is a BIG thing for me.
A few things I noticed after 6-7 games is...
1.Not enough missed shots in the paint and close to the basket(6-10ft.) Big men are making too many difficult contested shots.
2.FG% for both user and CPU consistently too high. (Usually 48-53%)
3.Mid-range shots a little too automatic, even off the dribble.
4.Not enough fouls or free throws.. Usually 13-18 per game. Rarely ever see a loose ball, blocking, over the back, or charging foul called.
5. CPU passing up on open 3PT shots.
I wanted to see more of a defensive game on both sides. With a challenging offense as well.. i made a few tweaks to have more games with FG% in the lower 40% and get 20-30+ free throws.
THINGS IN BOLD ARE TWEAKS I MADE. I've played about 3 or 4 games with these adjustments. I'll keep playing different match-ups to see how they play out.
Should I increase "Take 3PT shot" by 5 or 10 to get more CPU 3Pt shots? I don't want to throw off the balance of things, whats your opinion?
Another thing I'd like to see is a few more turnovers. I think the most I've ever seen is 17 from the CPU and maybe 13-14 from me. I'm not sure how to get this to happen so I didn't change anything. I didn't want to lower Pass Accuracy and have balls flying over peoples head. Maybe increasing steals to get 1-3 more per game?
Let me know your thoughts. I know play style has a lot to do with things.
I'll post stats from my next game.
