Alright guys, I've been playing exhibition games since the game dropped, playing NBA today matchups just trying to get a feel for the game. I figured I would post this thread now so that we can get some discussion going about the gameplay and sliders and see what different people are seeing while playing. I will be posting my sliders sometime soon once I get some more games in.
As usual, I don't want to hop into a franchise until I feel confident that the gameplay has been tuned to provide the most realistic results possible. So, my focus has been playing with as many different teams/styles and keeping track of stats so that I can make an objective analysis of what works and what doesn't in terms of gameplay. Obviously the game is very fun to play and overall, the gameplay for next gen 2k14 is excellent and I am finding very little that needs to be tweaked in terms of sliders to provide a realistic gameplay experience.
I have been playing with a base set of sliders that is giving very fun, varied games and results. I am probably about 8 games in with these, but I have only kept track of the last 4 games stats. I like to keep the stats of the games and then compare them to the actual NBA stats to see what needs to be changed and what doesn't. I only feel comfortable playing 12 min quarters and my sliders main goal is to always provide realistic stats based on 12 min quarters. I will be updating the spreadsheet below with stats from my games which shows the CPU and User stats by a per game average, compared to the actual NBA averages

Here are the box scores for these games. I will be adding more as I play
Based on these stats and my gameplay experience, here are my findings through 4 games:
-Points per game is a bit low for both sides. I think most of this comes from the fact that the CPU isn't making enough threes, and I am not taking enough.
-FT % is a bit low for both teams compared to league average. I find this very odd considering that I use real FT%, but I believe this has to do with the fact that a disproportionate amount of FT attempts are coming from big guys under the hoop who aren't as good at shooting them compared to guards attacking and getting to the line and making them at a higher clip
-Blocks are too high for the user
-Steals too high for CPU (really my fault due to careless passes, but the CPU is a bit too aggressive in passing lanes for my tastes)
-Fouls could be higher, but not shooting fouls as attempts per game are pretty much right on target.
-Rebounding feels pretty much spot on for both the User and CPU. Very pleased with this so far
Overall, the game is playing pretty well and I feel like I won't be suffering from a case of "slideritis" this year, constantly adjusting and never playing. I feel like I am already close to a very realistic set, just a few adjustments need to be made. Once I post my sliders, I encourage others that are using them to post their box scores as well or just anything you are noticing regarding the gameplay and potential slider tweaks

I'll post feedback & pics after i get a few games in . You can add me on PSN PS4 if you'd like @Biggielee00
