Just wanna ask for people to submit their sliders settings... I'm still testing mine but I will release them in a few days.

Just some questions:

hey peeps, just played an exhibition game between lakers and heat using my sliders and these are the things i've noticed:

1. the cpu is too dumb to foul a 3 pointer when the shot clock is winding down...... so i'm going to decrease the shooting foul to 20 or maybe 15.

2. superstars like kobe, tmac, dwade, carter, etc.... are really great in this game specially if you are controlling them and your offense runs through them(meaning you like to give them the ball always).... kobe had 40pts in the first half with me leading 58-50, so i turned the game off..... with that said, i'm going to decrease the shooting sliders but not much on the cpu side....... here goes:
Shooting Sliders (User/CPU)
Short Range (40/40)
Medium Range (35/40)
Long Range (35/40)

any suggestions or comments appreciated.......... will post results later or tom......

I find that my shooting sliders give a realistic FG%. I mean, Rasheed still knocks down short jumpers, and Hamilton still shoots the mid range like crazy. My 3pnt% sucks though...it's about 20% atm since my only REAL 3 pnt shooter (Billups) was out for 3 weeks, but i do knock down a lot of open shots.

okay after 2 years i still don't know what Boundary force Field is for.....does anyone know this? I turned it up ll the way once and then all the way down. i played 2 games and didn't see much difference. I thogut it was for contact between players or with the out of bounds line or somethign. but i couldn't figure it out myself.

I think its supposed to slow your momentum when you get near the boundary....

Its not supposed to have a huge affect really, just means you step out of bounds once or twice less per game...

hey matt, i guess you're right regarding the short range shooting....... 40 is still too high..... im going to make it a 35 so that all the user shooting sliders will be fixed at 35, it'll be the same for the cpu though at 40 so that it'll be challenging.... it's up to your defense to lower their fg%....... edit the sliders in a moment......

I won't be posting any slider suggestions until I get more of a feel for the game. Some might disagree, but compared to NBA Live 2005 it doesn't really need as much tweaking out of the box so I'd like to make sure I adjust the right areas.

i guess the sliders vary for most people. of course the main flaws in the game should be changed, but if a players skill level is higher, he should turn the sliders down a bit for the user. I know that in the beginning i lost to the superstar mode a lot more and had to turn them down a bit for the cpu. After a month orso i won almost every game by 30 on superstar level and ha dot change them again or just mess up my dynasty team for it to be challenging.

thanks for the explanation of the boundary force field, by the way. (Y)

That's the other advantage of sliders aside from realism or making the game completely arcade-like; adding more of a challenge by stacking the odds against the user.

yeh 3P shooting should probably go down a lil bit, especiazlly if u have a 'Shooter' superstar on your team. The Set shot was supposed to be easily blocked, making it only suitable in wide open situations

but i still find myself hitting set shot 3's with defenders in my face

Offensive rebounds - down to 15
Defensive rebound - up to 90
Steals - down to 25 or so

ok..... finally got the feel for the game........ thanks to the input of Matt and Laxation..... now the rebounds are not that crazy anymore...... i set the offensive rebounds to 0 and the defensive to 80...... even at 0, you could still grab some offensive boards.......

i also change the cpu adjusted shot frequency to 45 and the cpu adjusted shot percentage to 45 so that the cpu will not always adjust their shot frequently and would not always make them..... coz it's quite annoying.....

i also made the shooting sliders equal for both user and cpu coz they're still pretty incredible set at 40...... i set them like this:
short range(35-user/35-cpu)
medium range(36/36)
long range(37/37)

i also increase the on-ball defense assist to 50 and the on-ball physical defense to 80 for both user and cpu coz it's easy to lose a defender by doing freestyle moves.... and the scores would be pretty high if you play on 11min qtrs because i really dont want to decrease the game speed..... first i set it to 60 but i reduced the game speed a bit to 55.

i think these are the main components you need to adjust to make the game more realistic and fun of course......i re-attached the images for the slider settings on my first post....... and i think that's about it...... i'm pretty satisfied....... to me it's close to realism, thanks for the input guys..... and thanks to sit for starting this thread..... and to andrew for making it a sticky....... hope this helps......

Lax dood, you're using Detroit, they have rediculous rebounders period, and you probably have the technique down pretty well. I find rebound totals have been pretty even for me using the Hornets, but i still agree a 25/75 split in favoure of defensive rebounding (or something around that region) should be fair for most people....

True. Anyways, I have a question. Does the Freestyle Effectiveness slider affect the percentage of the superstar moves working correctly?

After finishing off November on my Dynasty last night and playing good rebounding teams AND bad ones, I've decided the CPU definately has an unfair advantage on the board with equal sliders.

The CPU doesnt get boxed out by your own players, making offensive boards a walk in the park, on the other hand, if i come within a metre of a CPU defender after a shot goes up im instantly glued to their back even if i wasnt running towards them....

With that in mind i'd say Rebounds in Live06 are like blocks were in Live05...

Hasn't anyone noticed that you can go inside and dunk with no effort at all? Yes, on superstar, with CPU on-ball physical defence anything from 40 to 100.

That CPU on-ball physical defence is funny, if it's OVER 40 or 50 you just bump into your opponent, creating space for an easy layup.

So I was just playing casually, dumping it inside on every play, dunking all the time with Stro Swift, on superstar. Try it, what a joke that is.

This game will need some serious adjustments. Not sure if they can be done with the sliders.
