- 1. Blocks - While the new blocking animations are my favorite addition to this years 2K I feel like blocks are far to common so I toned them down slightly....dominant shot blockers still patrol the paint and you have to think twice before challenging them without the "Giant Slayer" badge!
2. CPU's obsessive paint attack / Paint FG% - Let me just come right out and say it...on default HOF the CPU finishes virtually everything! Not to mention all they do is try to attack the paint! I've toned this down slightly to hopefully achieve a more realistic FG%
3. CPU Deviates too much from set plays (also causing too many points in the paint) - I made some adjustments to the CPU to help them stick more to their set plays....this will also help CPU shot selection overall because now plays that were called for 3's actually end up as 3's as opposed to mindless drives by the CPU!
4. 3 point attempts - This is self explanatory....the 3-point shot is the staple of the NBA....last year teams averaged 32 3pt attempts per game, on default 2K20 you'll be lucky if the CPU takes 15 in a game, and that's a shame....while my sliders usually don't get the CPU up to 32 it's usually close and you'll see a variety of off-balance, off the dribble 3 point attempts from the CPU
5. Contested shots - I would say this is more of a philosophical disagreement between me and 2K, but 2K has these mycareer, Mypark guys thinking that just because someone is in front of you that you should miss every jump shot you ever take....ha yea just ask the Sixers about that when Kawhi hit that buzzerbeater!
Anyways, lets get to the good stuff first up is game settings....most of this is user preference except for the ones that I list!

Offense - *Disclaimer About the shooting sliders.....these are low key user preference....what I mean by that is based on YOUR play style you MAY have to make slight adjustments! When I play 2K I try to simulate what the team I'm playing with would normally do! I take a lot of step back and moving 3 pointers and mid-range jumpers and these sliders are tweaked so that you are able to do that, HOWEVER if you are the type to ONLY take wide open shots or wait for the absolute perfect shot then you may need to drop user mid-range / 3-point sliders down by increments of 1 or 2!
