List 2K's Gameplay Issues

[EZMADDEN]

Hey everyone! I have decided to create my own slider set this year. This will not be the thread for the slider set. This thread is for assistance to those creating sliders. I want everyone to list the issue with 2K's gameplay that can be modified via gameplay sliders! I need your assistance because I've actually played so much 2K that the issues have almost become natural to me. So I want to create a set of sliders that are User/CPU balanced. There will be no scale of difficulty. Just realism! So in order for me to do so I will need your help by listing all of the issues that stand out to you! Thanks!

Poor AI defence is huge but doubt sliders can fix this.
I am just interested in sim stats playing 12 minute quarters. No cheese.

Eggie's and ACE's slider sets are two great sets but both play slightly differently. They are a good base to start from.

I'll check them out. I just want to have not only sim stats but I want the gameplay to feel good as well. The gameplay is so unresponsive and clunky this year.

It's hard to fix every flaw in this game and i doubt any of us can. If you try mine, make sure it was downloaded after the last update i made in my thread.

Yeah definitely going to give yours a try after the positive feedback I'm seeing. Unfortunately it won't be until Sunday but I'm excited to try them out.

Defensive player movement is probably the biggest issue imo. I think it's the major reason rotating defense appears so bad. It takes a while for defensive players to get going in a direction. Whether this is bigs getting routinely beat down court by their opposing bigs or people being slow to rotate I think it's all tied to the slow animations on defense. Good defense has a lot to do with anticipation over just reaction which is why I believe everything appears in slow motion when on defense. Guess the wrong direction or overplay someone you will get burned in 2k because it's hard to recover and gain momentum to get back into position. IMO I think that's why the game controls how it does on defense. I think the motion/animation speed of defenders both on and off ball can be extremely slow. They have to improve the locomotion of defenders in the way they back pedal, closeout, cut, turn, and accelerate.

Cool. Let me know how it goes when you try them out.

That's pretty accurate. I would've rathered the game be more overpowered on the defensive end because offense imo is easier to tweak. I've been trying to find the right balance but it is difficult. The sliders are also sensitive. A tweak in one, can throw something off in another.

Has anyone tried defensive awareness at 100 to see if AI defense plays smarter?

I definitely think defense plays better with help defense strength at 100. Bigs actually crowd and try to protect the paint. On-ball defense is overpowered at default so I like to lower that to help with more blow by's like you see IRL. Help defense maxed out helps to compensate for less sticky on-ball D.
