Here are some post-game stats with these sliders, keeping in mind everything is halved so multiply by 2 for full-time stats.


looks pretty decent, although the rebounding stats for the user team is quite low compared to the cpu.

Yeah, sliders and settings. I tweaked the settings to work along with the sliders, as far as fouling, game time, etc. so you might want to load them up and give it a try.

Hmmm.... you're right about rebounds eisfeld, at least in these three examples. I do remember having game where I dominated though. I'll have this in mind for further testing for a possible boost in User rebounding.

When i played against the Houston Rockets, I noticed that T-Mac played the whole game without getting any rest. I play 8min quarters and he played for the whole 32mins. I've put Fatigue on, and Stamina to 35... but still T-Mac played the whole game. Any idea on how to make the cpu sub more often without having to manually do it for the cpu?

Use a second controller or keyboard and select the cpu team and change their substitution method to rotation.

I am having no problems with the cpu making subs with their stamina set to 45 in the attributes sliders. I play on 9 minute quarters.

Cool man thanks, what's your game speed btw? and any suggestions on increasing the number of touches the star player of the CPU team gets? and also any suggestions to get the cpu to pass around more before shooting?

I don't know how to get the star player more touches, but I read several posts that the game plays better on Pro with a good ratio of shots between star players and role players and that the backdoor passes/points in the paint issue does not happen. I haven't tried it yet. Maybe changing the coach profiles and increasing the runs plays slider will help get stars more touches and shot opportunities. I play currently at gamespeed of 70 and player speed of 75, but I haven't broken 100 yet with either team, although I am getting 70-80 shot attempts per game. Maybe I'll increase the foul sliders. If you want the cpu to pass the ball more you are going to have to play some tough defense. Bring help defenders to double team and then switch to an off ball defender to rotate and play the passing lane.

Hey folks, there's been a major update to these sliders and can be found at the following link.

http://www.operationsports.com/forums/n ... tings.html

I'll be updating everything there from now on though I'll probably drop a post here mentioning of any updates. Definitely check out the first post for detailed info about how and why the sliders work.

Hey man, could you post a picture of the sliders? I want to see which sliders you have changed instead of just replacing your settings with mine.

If/when I get around to doing that I'll post it at the link above. But until then, you can easily just load them up in your game without overwriting any of your own settings. That'd be much easier to see exactly what's changed. If you don't like it, just load your own back up.

True, but i just want to compare mine with yours. BTW any ideas on how to turn down the number of alley-opps the computer does?

All right, 3.0 is released which includes nigu's roster update.

http://www.operationsports.com/forums/n ... tings.html

Alley-oops would probably be related to offensive awareness. Try turning that down and see what you get.

I was using BL sim sliders version 2 on AllStar difficulty that are posted above, but I tweaked them a bit. Then I read about playing on Pro with default sliders, tried it an I am enjoying it. I'm pretty much in a test association right now, tweaking sliders as I go along. I suggest doing that. Try BL sim sliders, then tweak them to fit your playing style.

Here's 4.0 of my sliders and should be the last version without frequent updates for a while at least.

the_future420 from operationsport said that playin 11 min quarter is better than 12 min because the simple fact that there just aren't enough non-steal turnovers in this game.

2k doesn't have enough traveling calls, offensive foul calls, 3 in the key calls, errant passes out of bounds, etc.

These are the things that slow the game down and take time off the clock. Sometimes a team will have 5-6 possesions in an NBA game where they come down court, use 15-20 seconds of the shot clock and then commit a turnover before ever getting a shot up.

In NBA 2k9, we are lucky to get one of these possesions. As a result, almost every trip down court results in a shot attempt or trip to the line. So in a 12 min qtr game of 2k, we are going to have way more shot attempts on average in comparison to a real NBA game. Because of this, if we're looking for realistic FGA, FTA, and scores, going down to 11 minute quarters may be the best way to go about it.

even nogster a popular roster editor plays at 11 min. if u want to have realistic stats playin 12 min, u gotta play good defense right?

Guys in my game, the CPU seem to wait till the end of the shot clock to shoot most of the time (5secs left then shoot), is there a way to make the cpu shoot earlier in the shot clock instead always shooting late?

Have you played vs teams like Phoenix Suns?? Cause they shouldn't.

Each team has its own tempo, maybe you've been facing downtempo teams. Each team has its own sliders by the way and you can edit the offensive tempo, rebound charging tendency, etc... :wink:

I played against the Detroit Pistons, 3 out of 4 processions they have shot the ball at the end of the shot clock. I don't want to go thru each team's playbook and alter their tempo, is there anywhere in the sliders under gameplay i can alter to make each team run their offense a lil faster instead of them waiting till the end of the shot clock to shoot?

The Pistons are a team that always run plays in real life. They're a slow tempo team.

Before modifying anything try the Suns, for example, because there's a huge difference on how different teams play.

Pistons and Spurs, for example, are clearly two slow tempo teams while Suns are just the opposite. Maybe you'll just have to increase the tempo a bit in the slow tempo teams and not in every team.

BTW, you can increase the game speed and reduce player's speed in the same proportion, I think that could work as I have them set that way and I don't feel the teams are running a slow offense at all.

Another thing you can do is to increase the ballhandling ability in CPU team. That will make it harder for you to stay in front of the PG or star player of the team you're facing. However, if you do this, you should increase the contest shot slider a lot to prevent superstars being unstoppable. If you increase ballhandling and keep Offensive Awareness at 60 as you have right now and Contested SHots at 20 as you have right now believe me Lebron will score 200 pts on you on a single quarter even double teamed.

:lol:

What you can do is increase the shooting tendencies in the sliders, so the cpu is more likely to put up a shot quicker.

this is how to set up sliders for user vs user game:

pick a slider set u wunna use. make sure all user and cpu sliders are tha same. then both users will have tha same sliders. and save tha user vs user slider set. don't overwrite ur original one.
