The "Shot Defense Strength" Sliders Explained

Not much as of yet. My current testing was mostly around movement/animations and tendencies, and I’ve pretty much gone into that with the assumption that these sliders work the same this year as they have in previous 2Ks. I’ll definitely be focusing on the defense strength sliders and the new Coverage Impact slider in my next round of testing, so I’ll report back here with any information.

Next gen or last gen? And what makes you say that? (I haven’t played the last two days, so if I missed a patch let me know!)

Eccentric- I know you are are the OS expert with movement sliders. Any update on the adjustments for 2022?

I’m really struggling with CPU controlled players moving at unrealistic speeds off the ball. This is particularly noticeable in the open floor on fast breaks. Everyone seems the be running the same speed and it makes fast breaks nearly impossible. Also, cpu controlled big men can match feet on the perimeter with guards.

Hoping this can be fixed with sliders and not hard coded into the game.

Have you tried the settings in my slider thread for this year? The only way to speed up on-ball players right now is to increase the Game Speed, but all the ways of slowing down off-ball players still work. I wouldn’t advise slowing down the “slow” players any more than the default settings though, as no one in the NBA moves in slow motion like bigs can be made to move in 2K.

So really I just increased game speed, decreased the speed/accel attributes to offset that game speed increase, and from there I’d just drop the CPU Lateral Quickness slider if bigs are too difficult to shake on the perimeter. You CAN decrease their speed/accel specifically if you’d like, but I wouldn’t recommend it.

Noooo, they actually did it?? Ugh, roped in us offline guys and then pull the rug out from under us once they have our money.

Here’s hoping this is fixed quickly, or idk man.
