*sign here* if you have the game

[afroken]

Yo got the game at like 12 pm today and was supprisingly the first person to get it at wal mart. Well the game is the shit. The slam dunk is tricky but I am getting the hang of it. My fav dunks I did so far was the east bay funk dunk and you guys remember that kobe commercial acouple years back when he went baseline and wraped it around his back and threw it down on the opposite side of the rim. Well I am about to start a dynasty so I am going to get back to my game.

Make me number 20...i got the game yesterday. All i did was mess around with the dunk contest for about 2 1/2 hours and i pretty much know how to do all the major dunks.

I've already done the front flips then double between the legs dunk...which ofcourse had kenny and ernie flipping.

I'm gonna have my review on the site soon enough (not that anyone cares) but so far the game is almost perfect.

Add me to the list. There was a LINE at the Harlem Gamestop for Live today. I didn't even go to the shelf I got right on line b/c they had a pile of copies at the checkout.

Difficulty: All-Star
Quarter Length: 10 Minutes

Game Speed: 45 (Matter of personal taste)
Free Throw Difficulty: 70
Boundary Force Field: 60
Injury Frequency: 50
Fatigue Effect: 45
Charge/Block Foul Frequency: 50 - Just awesome, I get the right amount of calls to no calls. I raised this number to punish the Users who liked to just go in the post and try and force home a dunk. If you go too high on this number, the CPU post players will run into foul trouble early on and you won't see them. It happens too often, so this number seems good halfway.
Shooting Foul Frequency: 63
Reach-in Foul Frequency: 78
In-air Collision Foul Frequency: 73 (Fair amount of contact with calls and no calls)

User Sliders:

User Steal Ability: 47
User Interception Ability: 47 (Your players don't seem to deflect the ball enough. This helps!)
User Shot Block Ability: 19 (Remember, this is only on JUMPSHOTS. A lot of jumpshots don't get blocked on the perimeter, mostly inside)
User Dunk/Lay-up Block Ability: 27 (Helps to stop weak shots, star players can still take it strong)
User Freestyle Effectiveness: 40 (With my other settings, you can actually take players off the dribble! Plus you can't abuse it! No dribble showcasing with Shaq, he'll lose the ball! )
User Dunk vs. Lay-up Frequency: 25
User Substitution Frequency: 78 (Personal tastes.... players are subbed just about right.)
User On-ball Defense Assist: 80 (Helps to create more mid-range jumpers by the CPU! Not sure how.. just does!)
User Offensive Rebounding: 50

User Short Range Shooting: 40
User Medium Range Shooting: 43
User Long Range Shooting: 39
User Dunk Percentage: 50
User Lay-up Percentage: 50
User Adjusted Shot Percentage: 45 (For some reason, go lower, and players like AI can't get their running jumpers to fall at a realistic pace...)
User On-ball Defense: 50
User Poor Release Shot Percent: 38 (Remember, peak of the jump. You WILL hit the open J about 80% of the time)
User Double-team Effectiveness: 30

I quote Pared:

VERY EARLY... but I've tweaked a lot and I'm liking things so far. The CPU attacks the rim A LOT... still trying to find if I can affect that somehow.

Overall, I've opened up the pace of the game for a slower, more strategic feel. Blocks were ridiculously high (and are STILL too high even at 0 for shots). The CPU does a great job of using freestyle to get by you this year.

One thing I wanted to do better this year than last year was keep the difficulty of the computer without sacrificing realism... I think I've achieved that even at this early stage.

I posted the 2004's because most people like them a lot

I just posted them! lol

[tim duncan21]

^^ yeah i know. but rivght now im going to step into my dynasty and check how these slider play with spurs. its really not goign to effect my franchise since i only played one game.stats were pretty good, duncan scored 35 points, 15 rebounds, 3 blocks, but total score wwas low. raptors 70 something and spurs 80 something

[tim duncan21]

i started a dynasty but not with spurs....i chose the lakers for some odd reason and im in my second season.i found the beeping noise of the PDA very annoying( wish you can turn it off). but i dont play full games i sim all my games until the 4th quarter and see if im losing or not.and for my all star weekend kobe got invited to the dunk contest and atkins got invited to 3 point and they both won.

[Spinners]

I think you can turn of the beeping noise. If your using XBOX then go to the PDA and then click the Left Trigger for settings and turn off or switch the tone.

[tim duncan21]

i have ps2 but ill try to see if you can do that

[Doug]

getting mine on october 13th so ill sign here when i get it.
