Hot Kidd XB1 'superstars roster'

[Smirkin Dirk]

Im currently doing a roster. It should be out in less than a week. Im 12 teams done. My goal is to do a roster that highlights superstars strengths. Ill run through some strengths and weaknesses of the upcoming roster.

STRENGTHS
1. It uses Vann's playbooks.

2. Im inputting the sig shots of the best sig shot makers on this site. Check out the sig style thread. Those dudes know their stuff.

3. Increasing 3 point tendencies (usually by 30 clicks) of shooters.

4. Increasing standing dunk tendencies of big guys who can dunk.

5. Giving post players their true tendencies. Minimising fade tendencies of Griffin/Dwight etc. I dont want to see them fading. Increasing thre jab step/up and under etc of post demons like Jefferson and Randolph. Giving Blake his spin post move etc.

6. Increasing quicker big guys speed. Griffin and Davis are very fast in straight lines in the open floor. Im boosting this on select players.

7. Ill get rotations and team POE as accurate as possible.

8. Ive got as focus on stars to highlight what they do best.

9. Adjusting tendencies to reflect player changes. eg Trevor Booker getting a shot, Demare Carrol shooting more. Also turned down shooting tendencies of plkayers who shoot too much in game (Matt Barnes, Im looking at you).

WEAKNESSES

1. Accessories. Me no care.

2. End of the bench guys dont get as much from me as they should.

3. Im not doing this scientifically. I know that certain players do certain moves, but Im increasing the tendency as a guesstimate, more than a scientific, mathematically proven value.

I like were you're heading man. I pretty much edit the same way. Just superstars and known role players. I'll defiinetly download your roster once it's through.

Re: Hot Kidd XB1 'superstars roster'

26 of 30 teams done. Im also addressing the issue of big men lacking stamina.

[Smirkin Dirk]

Re: Hot Kidd XB1 'superstars roster'

Just finished.

In addition to the 1st post Ive done the following things.

Done team rotations.

Included the new contract extensions.

Upped some big mens stamina, lowered guards stamina.

The focus has been on bringing out the star' traits, I wasnt really concerned with the bottom 3-4 guys on each roster. And no, I didnt bother with accessories.

Vann's playbooks were a huge help as were all the boys on the sig style thread for their sig shots. Rip, woody etc.

Re: Hot Kidd XB1 'superstars roster'

Just simmed a few seasons to see stats.

Spurs finished with a 25-4 record. Ive never seen a 2K team with a record as good as that.

Top scoring team has 111 ppg. 13 teams over 100ppg. Lowest were the 76s at 90ppg. Indy and Memphis in the bottom 5. Defensively, best was Memphis at 89ppg. Chicago, SA, Indy and Charlotte in top 5.

Teams have shot between 47% and 40%. On 3s, the spread was 40.2% and 30.1%

Rebounds seem high. The spread is 44-51.

A few teams are shooting too many 3s. Cleveland, for example avged 31 across the season.

Sim FT's are nice. The spread is 21-30 per game

Looking at player stats, Im seeing some really nice things. The best players are reflected in the stats.

The only major issues with sim stats are some teams shooting too many 3s, and too few blocks. Ive messed around with coach sliders and didnt see an effect. The other issue is low sim blocks. Davis for instance leads the league with 2, Ibaka next at 1.9. Im not sure how this can be fixed.

Re: Hot Kidd XB1 'superstars roster'

Hey man. I appreciate your work. Nicely done. Might be a dumb quoestion im wondering wether the edited playbooks will transfer in a new started myLeague season. I jumped about something like "playbooks are a not transferred into a myleague or mygm season" at os a while ago. Is there anything into that? Im looking to start my myleague with your roster!

Re: Hot Kidd XB1 'superstars roster'

I'd hold off. I committed the cardinal sin of not playtesting every team. I played 3 halves against Charlotte and AL Jeff was getting it. But he was too reliant on his fallaway even though Ive minimised it in his tendencies.

I played 3 halves against the Clippers and despite the fact Griffin's shot tendency and touches are nearly maxed out, he was barely involved, and I dont know why.

Re: Hot Kidd XB1 'superstars roster'

Interesting. I went back to sim sliders and saw the tendencies I wanted to create.

Blake went 6/8 in the 1st half and scored off a couple of spins, a jump hook and a jumper.

Crawford was pulling up I saw a standing dunk (!) from DeAndre.

I also a good number of 3s and fouls.

Re: Hot Kidd XB1 'superstars roster'

Just had a very nice game against Sacramento. Im playing on default defense settings to see how things play out.

Cousins and Rudy obliterated me, Cousins went for 31/10/3/3 (only 2 or 3 were putbacks) and Rudy put up 25 shots for his 23 points. Cousins scored ina heap of ways, while Rudy was on from mid range and fades.

Re: Hot Kidd XB1 'superstars roster'

Just had a nice game against Phoenix. I had their POE set to get inside and Bledsoe was very aggressive getting inside. Dragic did some nice things. The Morris twins did what they do; a few post ups, a few fades, a few 3s. Green came on launched a few ill timed shots.

I didnt adjust my coverage on Bledsoe as I just wanted to see if they;d go away from him.

Roster is feeling very nice.

Re: Hot Kidd XB1 'superstars roster'

Sounds good so far. Do you use any specific slider set?

I havent got it in front of me, so Im going off the top of my head.

I keep inside/attacj/mid range etc all at 50 for CPU. Shoot 3s at 99.

Their dunk tendencies are maxed.

CPU blocks are at 80.

Ive got steals, play passing lanes and hands raised to 60-70 to increase TOs.

CPU off rebouding at 47. My blocks at 40.

user hustle at 70, CPU at 30.

Ive got speed at about 52, but quickness to about 75 for both teams. This reduces the smothering D and gives players a sense of explosion.

Ive upped the CPU help D to 70 to open up more space on the perimeter. This is the one Im still looking at really closely.

Ive got user defense driving layup contact shot (or whatever its called at about 50 to minimise those stupid animations where a guard can force a big into a contested lay up.)

Im really happy with these sliders.

Re: Hot Kidd XB1 'superstars roster'

Just had a fantsatic game against Miami.

Bosh went 13/19 on lots of mid range stuff. He went 2 of 4 from deep aswell.

Deng got 4/14 on lots of pull ups.

Wade went 5/18. A couple of drives with some post stuff.

The game felt really good.

Overall they went 35/93 from the field and 5 of 18 from outside. The lack of FTs will be patched so Im ok with that.

Thank you mate! From wich difficulty setting are you starting from? Is your slider set based on simulation or default? Real fg% or shot timing?
A lot of questions...
This weekend ill start my myleague (for the third time because i never was satisfied with the available rosters before and too lazy to implement van's play books wich are nearly the most important factor for nice gameplay).
I appreciate your work!

Im at superstar, started from simulation and Im just working my way out from there. I go with shot timing, but thats only because Ive used real % for 10 years.

These rosters are feeling very nice for me, so Ill stick here.

Although, Im not big on accessories etc so it wont be for everyone.

Im going to try a few more teams with the POE on 'neutral'. Another poster said this worked well, and it seems to let the natural tendencies shine through (well, from the one game Ive played with the POE on neutral).

Im still tweaking. Ive found a great sig for Kyrie and itrey has found a great one for Curry so Ill have to add them in, if I havent already.
