NBA 2K17 "The Eccentric Edition" - Realistic Slider Set

[EccentricMeat]

IMPORTANT NOTE: This is just the very initial FULL BETA release of my sliders, and I have yet to fine-tune a number of settings (Most of which have to do with AI decision making). This update fills out the rest of my slider set, getting rid of all empty values from the v0.1 BETA. Gameplay will be tweaked and fine-tuned from here, but this is a fantastic base to work with!


2k Default Roster Slider Set v0.2.3 *BETA* - Latest Update: July 24th

Spoiler

Roster - 2K Default or any roster with limited/no tendency tweaks. My suggestions:


PS4 - EmbraceThePace Offseason Roster
Roster Thread

XB1 - BryanDfor3 Offseason Roster
Roster Thread


Gameplay Settings
Difficulty - Superstar
Quarter Length - 12 Minutes
Fatigue - On
Injuries - On
Game Speed - 56
Free Throw Difficulty - 50
Shooting Type - User Timing
FT Shooting Type - Real Player %
Shot Meter - Off
Shot Feedback - Off

Coach Settings
PlayVision - All Plays
PlayVision Display - Full
Offense Playcalling - Auto

These settings make your offense wake the hell up! Your AI teammates will no longer stand around doing nothing. Instead, they will be running plays and creating opportunities for your half-court offense.

Controller Settings
Defensive Assist Strength - 50 (Removes a lot of sliding on defense while also triggering WAY more player-interaction animations)
Automatic Shot Contest - User Preference (I use Intense D)

Camera Settings
Drive
Zoom - 1
Height - 5
Key Zoom - Off

This camera view makes the game come ALIVE! It will take a few minutes to get used to, but I think that once you do you won't be able to play the game any other way!

Feel free to use the Broadcast camera view if you'd prefer. The game still looks and plays great from that view (I actually used it in my testing to make sure the player/animation speed was realistic), I just prefer the Drive camera.

See It in Action

Spoiler

Here's a quick clip of the dribble-drive animations I've achieved with v0.2




And another clip here to show that although it's easier getting past a perimeter defender, you can't just spam drives to the basket all day:




The following video shows a few different aspects of gameplay during a series of back and forth offensive possessions. You'll see the AI taking advantage of a mismatch when IT is caught defending Wiggins in the post, the USER taking advantage of a brief friendly-fire screen as Gordon Hayward explodes out of the triple-threat when Wiggins brushes past a nearby teammate, Wiggins out for revenge the next trip down the court, and finally a beautifully executed pick-n-pop for the C's.




A quick clip showcasing the fact that Karl Anthony Towns is a BEAST in v0.2!

Overall AI Offensive Tendencies

PLEASE post any and all CONSTRUCTIVE feedback, positive or negative, so that I know what people like about my slider set and what I need to improve on! Also, please post any and all personal findings and/or tweaks you've tried out! Try to point out what you are seeing too much of (ex. The AI attacks the basket too often), what you're not seeing enough of (ex. The AI does not go to the post often enough), etc. And also, it's just fun to see the results everyone is getting and to have a discussion on what can be improved/what should be left alone.

Here's a simple resource I made to help depict what exactly "realistic stats" should look like:
NBA Stats to Replicate with Sliders

Thanks to everyone who gave my thread a 1-star rating before I even posted my slider set!

Now that I have FINALLY posted a full slider set, give them a try and rate my thread accordingly! And as always, PLEASE feel free to LIKE this post if this thread has helped you out in anyway (or if you just think I'm a cool guy). It is greatly appreciated.

Enjoy!

I played 5 full games since Monday.

The default sliders are pretty good this year although in each difficulty level the sliders are automatically changing there will be still matters that should be handled.

In superstar difficulty, CPU's shooting ratings are automatically at 54 while the users are at 50.

The movement of the players, the realism has upped considerably and i'm very happy that they addressed the foul issues, you don't need to adjust anything now, you get the calls by default.

The contact system is pretty good, the refs. call fouls when they are fouls and they let it go when there is minimal contact.

The CPU is pretty smart, the teams play very similar to their real versions as GSW takes quick shots, Curry plays like Curry, dribbles to create a 3 pointer or goes through to finish at the rim. Toronto plays 4+ 1 big men and Lowry always drives and creates shots for himself or for the open players.

I played with auto subs. method and I played with players that were not playing well together for my liking that's why I lost more games that I usually do ( 1 win, 4 loss - 2 against GSW and CLE) with Detroit, Denver and Milwaukee.

I think the game is pretty good, you'll all love it this year.

With minimal slider changes we'll all enjoy the best b.ball simulation as always

The most beautiful thing I've ever seen.

After a few hours of gameplay, I can safely say that this game plays BEAUTIFULLY out of the box. I'm going to be spending a lot of time figuring out what actually NEEDS to be tweaked.

Eccentric, what would you say is the starting point for pretty well rounded but not great 2K veterans? Superstar? Do you get realistic shooting percentages so far?

Thanks for all your hard work, as always!

I got very realistic shooting % in Superstar both for CPU and User. I'm not sure if there is any need to tweak shooting numbers in sliders

That's true.

Most of the out-of-box problems in previous 2K's do not exist this year:

Rebounding Issues
Lack of Foul Calls
Too many Steals
High Percentage Shots

We gonna have to see after a few patches release, 2K always plays decent out the box then them patches come out....patches💉
