I would hope that the logic powering those areas would have been improved.

Understandable it takes a lot of work on the front end, but its been figured out that if you went in to each team and altered their tendencies for each player, or at least the guys who played, it would make the games more realistic....

Ex: Say you have the 2010-11 roster set....

When North Carolina plays Albany, UNC would run them off the floor more than likely once you alter the tendencies to where guys like Harrison Barnes and John Henson are taking more shots and in the proper areas and less are coming from the role players.


The problem with the original roster setups is that sometimes, not only are the wrong guys taking too many shots, but many players are taking shots from places on the floor where they have little to no business doing so...

Let me put it this way, it would be like having the LSU classic team and you simulate a game and look at the box and notice Shaq took 5 threes....now I'm not completely sure about this, but I don't believe he took 5 threes in his collegiate career, let alone a single game.


Its just botched CPU logic really....but I (as many others) found once I altered that stuff, it made the game better and also much more interesting when I altered my opponents just before playing them....

In fact, I had ran a test where the opposing team I was playing, their star only took 5 shots before I altered the tendencies and scored 8 points....while after the alterations, he took 17 shots and scored 28....

BIG difference!

Do you have a set system you use to edit player tendencies or do you just do it by feel?

i was watching some of the d-leaue playoffs last night, and i was thinking how great would it have been if the d-league system was in tact for nba 2k and it was compatible with the player ported from college hoops that didnt make the 12-man rosters or didnt get drafted at all.

i'd never leave the house again.

I do it based on per roster and go from top to bottom.

Ex: star player on team A has these splits;

Close - 64
Mid - 71
3 Pt - 78
FT - 86

In this case, I would want him with higher tendencies in both drive and 3-pt shooting...

If he's your star player, you also want him taking more shots than others so you would want to have his tendency numbers all over 50, and the dominant tendencies in the 70s or higher.


But again, I go through from top to bottom of the roster of each team (sometimes waiting until I play a particular team or the NCAAT to edit all of them), and go with what I want them to accomplish based on that.

Look at it this way, if you had 3 dominant distance shooters, wouldn't you want those guys taking much of the shots from there?

That's why these things need to be fixed until all teams are overrun with new recruits --- and sometimes even then those guys need a bit of tweaking.
