    2K18 - Layup/Jump Shot Defense Strength sliders not working?

    Just had a test around with sliders in Play Now and 1v1 Blacktop.

    Tried adjusting these Shot Defense Strength sliders. Not having any effect on the games.

    Anybody else getting this issue?

      Which way are they meant to affect the game?

      If you increase the sliders on the User page (make it 100), how is it meant to affect the game?

        they affect the strength of your defense. So if you get a hand in a shooters face on a shot, the higher the setting the more likely you are able to get the shooter to miss. Release is when the shooter is releasing the ball in the air, gather is right when they catch the ball.

          They do work, and there's a little bit of misunderstanding on what exactly they do. I posted a VERY in depth look at these sliders a couple years ago, so give that a read if you'd like (I'd link it but I'm on mobile right now).

          But to summarize, these sliders affect how well defenders stick to shooters on the perimeter and fight through screens (Jump Shot Gather), how well they close out on a late shot contest and how effective they are at getting a hand in the shooter's face (Jump Shot Release), how well they get into position to defend layups (Layup Takeoff) and how much they effect contested layups at release (Layup Release).

          Unfortunately these sliders control both the animations AND the likelihood of shots going in, so in order to get the best animations and most aggressive closeouts, you will also increase how much nearby defenders negatively impact a shots success.

            They work, just gotta understand what they do and how they interact with the other sliders. Hopefully this will help you out.

              I don't think sliders work in blacktop (offline).
