I will search agree back home, what u need from there?

The ratings would make an excellent base and would cut down on the research I would need to do considerably.

Can't remember. Try searching for the .ros extension. If you're not sure if one is mine, pm keep a list of the file names and I'll know if I see it or not.

Some progress slimm?

I've done quite a bit of play testing. Other than that, still waiting for REDitor to be released.

[dav_9]

Will you release another beta roster/settings in the mean time?

Dear Slimm44

Hello from New Zealand

Just want to say thanks for all the work and effort you put into you're roster, loved playing with your original roster for 2K13 it was the most accurate roster I had played with I was so happy to find you working on a roster for 2K14.

You said your waiting for REDitor to come out, but didn't it take months last year for 2k13 editor to come out like April maybe?..

I just can't play 2k14 until i get my hands on your "Real Life" roster, i'll buy a brand new tv for it, but do you think we will have a completed roster
by christmas still? <-- best christmas present ever

Well, guys, I have good news, really good news, and bad news.

The good news is I got a crap-ton of editing done yesterday, all of the teams from Philly to Atlanta completely done.

The really good news is I figured out how to manipulate Coaching Profiles to (IMO) really enhance the gameplay.

The bad news is all of the work I did, roughly 12 hours worth, didn't save. I've been able to get Philly and Charlotte updated with the new tweaks so far today.

Sorry, guys. I was really hoping to have something for you today.

[skoadam]

omg, i never have this kind of situation, well maybe with one/two teams. Hope u will continue but i know how bad u must feel with this right now. Trainer fault? or u forgot to save?

I guess trainer fault. I save every time I get a team done. It's all good. I probably can't get as much done today as yesterday, but I should be able to get a few teams, still. I'd like to at least get several teams' Tendencies done.

CONFIRMED.


Definitely heading right direction.

Could you please update guide with that new info?

I really appreciate your work and your willingness to share info, unlike certain “real insider”, “the magician” who never reveals his secrets.

Having said that, I would like to share info about hot zones.
On basketball-reference.com you can find heat map for every player. I’m using specific method for assigning hot zones based on players points per game (it took me long time to figure this out for SS or HoF this year):

1) More then 20 PPG
red and yellow spots – hot
green spots – medium
blue and white spots – cold

2) Less the 20, more then 10 PPG
red spots – hot
yellow spots – medium
green, blue and white spots – cold

3) Less the 10, more then 8 PPG
red and yellow spots – medium
green, blue and white spots – cold

4) Less then 8 PPG
red spots – medium
yellow, green, blue and white spots – cold

I’ve changed this for Thunder players, removed broken plays, changed only shooting and drive tendencies and coach profile. Then I watched game against default Pacers (HoF, default sliders) – IT WAS AMAZING! The weird thing is that Pacers played completely different then before. I don’t know what happened with Pacers playbook. It’s like CPU tried to adapt to modified Thunder and result was spectacular.
I’m now starting to believe that combination of bad hot zones, bad basic tendencies and bad coach profiles is the main reason for broken plays. Default roster is just that ridiculous.

BTW, Thunder won. Westbrook 31 pts; Lamb 16 pts; Ibaka 14 pts, 12 rebs, 3 blcks; Jackson 18 pts; Durant 16pts, 11 rebs, 10 as (I guess Pacers “shut him down”).

Hoopsdata is not giving data for this season stats, slimm where are you getting your stats for shot location at. Meaning close shot att and fg%, mid shot att and fg% and 3pt and etc. I for the life of me can not find a site that has shot location attempts and percentages. Hoopsdata is the only one i can find that has at the rim,mid range and etc but i want to find this years stats.

[slimm44]

This isn't perfect, but it works pretty well:

http://stats.nba.com/playerShotchart.ht ... mode=basic

It's what I've been using. Before you can do individual shot locations, you have to figure out their Take Shot Tendency (I use FGA per 36 Min). Then, I just take the % from each location and apply it to the TS Tendency.

Nba.com has A LOT of awesome features on their site this year, all for free. You can actually watch a video of every play from every player for free. It's really easy to get lost in that site.

Also, I uploaded a new Google Doc with all player Ratings and Tendencies. It isn't finished, but you can see what I have in real time.

[mtdub]

^^ I ran up on those charts before I just didnt know how to apply it to your formula. Thanks slimm.

[skoadam]

slimm bro are u on beast mode right now?

Will be in an hour when I put the kids to bed.

haha yeah, daily routine i know what you talking about bro

[Angelo]

Now that RedMC have been release i hope you can now finish it bro good luck

[slimm44]

Wanted to give you guys an update. I have all statistical tendencies updated for Philadelphia through Utah, Indiana, and Washington. Once I get all the teams' statistical tendencies updated, I will post an update. I hope to be able to do this in the next few days.
