Umm is the Urb Sliders applicable to MyCareer? I want to edit a tunedata for this specifically :cheeky: :cheeky:

We are working on a new and significantly improved slider set. I'd wait.

When can we expect the updates coming? :cheeky: :applaud: :bowdown:

I'm updating the 2018 to season-specific information now. I will probably be able to send it to Sko tomorrow or Monday. Not sure about sliders. We have 3 people testing and will release when they are perfect.

Can I test it too? Pretty please? :cheeky: :cheeky: :cheeky:

I'm sure Sko will see your post and respond.

Maybe this is not the right place to ask this question, so I apologize to anyone who wants to slap me on the hand.

I have been playing the URB for about 6 months now (since I got blessed with my daughter and had to start actually, you know, spending time at home). I happened to have NBA2K14 so this was perfect. I am honestly amazed by what you guys did here (I mean, I even donated which isn't something I usually do). I can't believe all the work you guys sink into it and dedicate to it.

However, my issue is (and why I am responding to this post) that it has been about 10 years since I really gamed. I got the mod working perfect, I have it all loaded, but the sliders are damn impossible. Even with the sliders left where they are and I just turn down to Pro, I can't get anything resembling actual basketball. I can't play it on Rookie because then the computer just play so stupidly. I have tried to tweak the sliders myself but every movement has so many unintended consequences. I understand the game of basketball and I am not really trying to do anything stupid when I play... I think I just lack the stick skills to unlock the level of play required to compete with these slider settings.

Basically, I can score on the break but not the halfcourt and I turn the ball over constantly. The CPU scores almost at will in the half court.

Obviously I see there are other sliders elsewhere on this board, but when you search through the threads, the common refrain is that the sliders have been specifically tailored to the roster. So, I guess I am curious if anyone has been able to tweak the sliders to make them a little more friendly to someone not as skilled at the NBA2K series and if they wouldn't mind sharing what they have.

Thanks.

The sliders we are working on are all star level and should give significantly better gameplay while producing realistic stats. If you want, I can send you some pro cpu/cpu sliders I have that I am going to use as a base for a pro set of hum/cpu sliders at some point and you can tweak them. I don't mind giving you some guidance on fixing what seems to be lacking in gameplay as you tweak them.

Yeah, I mean, I assume given all the good work you guys are doing that they produce realistic stats at your play level (assuming human v. CPU which is all I play). At my level, both teams shoot around 55% or more (me only because I really only score on fastbreaks) and I finish with around 35 turnovers and lose by 20. I tried keeping everything the same and just improving my awareness and lowering the CPU's but it didn't do enough. When I started tweaking other stuff, it just made the gameplay too crazy.

I know I am the issue here obviously. And I have been playing for 6 months now so I don't think I can get too much better at this point. If you have a base set you are working with that you think will be better for me, I'd love to try them. Or, if you have some tweaks for the All-Star level ones I might be able to handle, that works too.

I know this isn't exactly what you are working on, so no worries if it is too much to ask of you man. You all have already done more than enough.

You should try having rhythm before a shot like doing crossovers not catch and shoot. Just like real basketball and don't force passes from halfcourt. I also struggled at first but overcame the obstacles and had just beaten the Warriors using the Nets :cheeky: :cheeky:

You can also try Med's Sliders for better passing and ball handling.

I am mostly doing catch and shoot, that isn't the problem. I mean, I can't even really crossover anyway. Really, my issues are getting guys open, driving, throwing entry passes... and then not allowing easy buckets on the other end.

I thought it wouldn't make sense to try Med's sliders since they are tweaked for his roster?

Anyway, I probably spammed this thread because my guess is that it should be focused on roster related issues and not my playability problems. Sorry guys.

as far as I know it's not the sliders, it's the game. I heard that in defense action you get 10 blocks per game. you even can't stop that with editing sliders. no need to ask slimm or skoadam for accurate sliders.
that's a shame on 2K14.

Actually, we have improved that issue with our sliders. In 12 user vs cpu games, the user team has averaged 8 or less blocks per game. This is still slightly above the league average of 5 per game but it has gotten better.

I'm not sure what you are asking. Please clarify. I don't know what VRChat app is.

How much money have you made from donations? Its just I'm working on a NCAA mod by myself which at the pace I'm going at will take over 150 hours to complete V1. Its using up all my free time but I'll hopefully have it done around Christmas.

Its just with all the effort put in how much reward do you get? Aside from all the people who enjoy it :)

Thx for all of your kind words, happy to hear youre using urb even if you dont like results :P
Now, you said 35 TO per game. Im more than sure you are using long passes and you want to score every point from fastbreak. We are here to build sim type of gameplay, opposite to arcade mode. Stop spamming pass button, use playbooks, play smart. Im 37 and i can still win, without dribbling skills. 35 TO means you are loosing ball waaaaay to often.
We are right now in the middle of testing game. Our average of TOs is 13 per game.

Well God Dayum.

I knew it would be much but I was thinking 2-3 donations a month at least :lol: :lol:

If only people were more generous :roll:

Hi guys. I have some problems with download portraits file for 17/18 season. When I go to Mediafire, file usually not found and I see this bad thing: http://www.mediafire.com/download_repai ... rver_error

Can you do something with it? Reload portraits again to the same or other mirror. Or something else. I hope you know how to deal with it.

P.S. Sorry for my bad English, I studied at school long-long time ago, when Slava Medvedenko was played with Shaq, ha-ha.
