Love the video man, thanks! I'm guessing the main issue was with shot timing? I see the 25% shooting and assume timing is to blame. Definitely takes some getting used to, and hopefully a little more time with the game will make shooting a lot easier for all of us (I know it has for me already!).

Still some work to be done with shot success, but I do feel like User Timing for jump shots is the move this year.

I'm currently using 49 Game Speed, so not too far off from your suggestion!

About the CPU inside/close shooting, are you using the test Tendency sliders I posted a couple pages back? Or just what's in the OP?

The way the game handles contests and changes my shot meter mid shot when the defender isn't even close is irritating. I will try it out on 24, but if it is anything like 23, Real FG% it is. 23 with Eccentric's sliders and game speed at 55 has been great. I even started playing with and liking Drive Cam. My concern is that with all the complaints that 24 is receiving from the online community will cause massive changes and ruin the game just like they did with 2k23 for about 8 months.

As I said above, User Timing definitely feels like the way to go this year. The main point will just be finding the right balance of shot success and shot timing/coverage sliders. You really can tweak these all to your perfect personal preference, it just might take some time.

Of course, you can always skip the timing BS and stick to Real FG% if that suits you better. It's all about what makes the game most enjoyable to the individual actually playing it, so no worries

Stupid question but why do you see the ace as beneficiary for rotation/subs management? For me rotation preset with minutes works just great and i missed what added value ace can bring.

Well first I used it just because it was the default option. Then I saw the CPU keeping at least one main scorer on the court at all times instead of reverting to the typical 2K hockey subs where the entire starting 5 gets pulled for backups. This led to a lot of interesting lineups on the court, especially for teams with 3-4 dangerous scorers. I can't remember the last time a 2K game gave this experience, if ever, so I just never touched the setting after that.

12 mins personally. Not sure I've ever played 2K on shorter quarters before TBH.

No not at all, i am not a great player at 2k your sliders play extremely well.

After a few games it is evident I am not good enough to use meter shooting and it is having too big of an impact on games for me.

That’s pretty normal. I’d try a few more games with the Shot Timing Impact slider set to somewhere around 10. Should make timing noticeably less punishing without removing your ability to green shots.

I used Eccentric sliders last year and I'm liking these ones again this year.

Good game play, turnovers, fast breaks, scoring runs from both team and computer still misses some open shots which is nice. FG percentage ranging from 45% to 55% depending on the team and game

I have shooting sliders at 53 for me and 55 for CPU and shooter timing at 35 and its a good mix and different each game. I also upped the cpu off awareness to 55 to make them a little bit smarter.

Overall great sliders, really enjoying the game. Has anyone used these sliders in the other Eras too?

Are you still working on your sliders?

Of course! Will be for a while, as well as a Lebron Era set.
