Cycloniac's 12 Minute NBA 2k15 Sliders

[Cycloniac]

These are the 2k15 version of my CPUvCPU set from last year. These are CPUvCPU also, but could be used as a good base set for vs CPU sliders also. If you are playing vs. the CPU, use Real FG% for best results.

Re: Cycloniac's 12 Minute NBA 2k15 Sliders

Box score from my first game, Nuggets-Lakers (Pre-season)


Too few fast-break points and turnovers.

Too few blocks.
3PAs are pretty good.

FTAs are pretty good.

PIP are about spot on.

Work in progress.

You think these would go good for user vs. CPU?

You could try them out. I'm still working on them though.

I'm loving these sliders so far. Great job!

[Cycloniac]

Re: Cycloniac's 12 Minute NBA 2k15 Sliders

Trying
Game Speed 75
Quickness 25
Player Speed 35
Stealing 35
Blocking 35
Vertical 40
Pass Accuracy 35



Turnovers are improved.
Fast break points are improved
Player spacing is a bit better
Rebounds are about perfect.

Not enough FTAs..

Still tweaking.

Interesting.. Trying these now!

Re: Cycloniac's 12 Minute NBA 2k15 Sliders

With pass accuracy so low. Players like Paul George are throwing incomplete passes left and right and i see a lot of players missing badly and throwing the ball clear out of bounds completely away from the player.

Really?

I'm barely seeing more than 10 turnovers per team.

35 for accuracy seems about right, for now.

I raised pass accuracy to 40 for both user and cpu and I'm getting 10 turnovers a piece instead of 13-15 each.

Re: Cycloniac's 12 Minute NBA 2k15 Sliders

Played two games with these sliders and really enjoying them so far. I actually really like the game speed at 70 with the lowered quickness, speed for players. For me, the game seems to play very smooth on these levels and the button input feels better.

Also, the flow of the game has felt great so far. Offenses seem to run much crisper and the floor is spaced better. I will keep playing on these settings and report back.

Re: Cycloniac's 12 Minute NBA 2k15 Sliders

This may be a dumb question but is player speed the same as speed under sliders or is there an actual player speed option somewhere?

Yes, it is.

Re: Cycloniac's 12 Minute NBA 2k15 Sliders

Pretty good sliders Cycloniac. Couple of things though. It seems some good players in real life are missing FT's a lot on the player side but on the CPU side they make almost all of them.

I'm not sure what Dwight Howard's FT% from the line is, but he went to the line 4 times and out of those 4 times, he missed 3 shots. Was somewhat surprising although I'm not sure what his real life % is from the line.

Also, I can't seem to get more than 100 points in the game (but neither can the CPU). The highest game was like 97-84 with me winning. I'm not exactly great at this game but I did a fantasy draft with the Celtics and using your sliders and I only control the Point Guard position.

I don't remember all of my players off hand.

What kind of games are you getting as far as final scores? Also, what should the FT%'s and 3 PT%'s be?

Dwight Howard is about a 50 percent free throw shooter. He shot about 49 percent in 2012 and 2013, and 54 percent last season.

As far as total points per game go, I've cracked the 100 point mark maybe twice, using the Nuggets-Lakers matchup that I've been testing. The average total PPG per team is typically around 100, so I will keep an eye on that as I use more top-tier teams. I may lower defensive consistency and see if that makes any difference.

EDIT: In both box scores I posted, the winner scored over 100 points.
