Help: Real Player % vs User

[Iasounis]

What is the meaning of each in the 'Settings' menu, and which should I use?

I personally use Real Player % it's more realistic FG % and since it goes off your actual stats

On user you get left open even a little bit of space and your timing is good = automatic 3

Re: Help: Real Player % vs User

User: Your timing on shot release

Real: CPU releases at whatever time automatically based off ratings.

Totally up to you. Some people consider Real Player to be "cheating", but it's better for Sim B-Ball.

Better for Sim stats, not better for simulating playing basketball.

OP, I look at it like this:

If I wanted the game to be as close as possible to watching an average NBA game on TV, I might prefer Real Player %, but I don't feel like unnecessarily giving up any small element of control, or the need to reduce the possibility of statistical outliers in games, so I stick with User.

Understood.

What I want/think the game should be is a combination of the two. My release should influence the shot, but the degree of error (or lack thereof) should take into account things like: defensive coverage; hot/cold spot and; the shooters abilities.

User Timing is the combination of two. 2k has explained it multiple times.

Re: Help: Real Player % vs User

I really like Real%,the only that bothers me about is there's just too many missed open shots on my side.

I feel like there should be somewhat of a slight boost, when your man is wide open. However with the right sliders/roster I feel I get what I need from user timing.

Would like real % changed/updated a little next game.

Yeah but if Ray Allen releases the ball" perfect " wide open shouldn't it go in all the time?

I mean IRL its not a perfect release unless the shot is going to fall right ?

Just so you know, Ray Allen air balled an open 3 the other night against the Nets. It even happens to the best of em.

Yeah It probably wasn't a perfect release either...

It wasnt perfect release if it air balled.

Personally when I ball I don't consider any miss a perfect release

Re: Help: Real Player % vs User

If a guy has an A in outside shooting and is WIDE OPEN and has a Perfect release I don't see why the shot should miss. If it misses it wasn't a perfect release.

if that were the case.. everyone would be getting 30s every year in the 3pt shootout (which no one EVER has)

Can you link me to any of those?

I'm sure every shot wasn't a perfect release though.

If that's the case it shouldn't be labeled a perfect release.
