NBA 2K18 "The Eccentric Edition" - Realistic Slider Set

[EccentricMeat]

I've been doing a LOT of experiments with my testing, which is why I haven't posted any updates yet. Testing out a lot of extremes to get a gauge for how much of an effect certain sliders have on gameplay.

I'm still hoping to get a BIG update posted today, just need a few things to fall together. Gotta take a break first for some lunch.

Glad you guys are enjoying the base set though!

Any seeing Loose ball, Illegal picks or Over the back with these sliders? Seems to be connected to rebounding but I can't figure it out. I wonder what triggers these fouls?!

I've been getting illegal picks and over the back fouls but not many loose ball fouls so far.

I've only played 2 games so far but I did get an illegal pick call on the cpu. KAT was called and he hit the floor after being knocked down by the guy he was trying to screen.

I see over the back calls though, at least 2-3 I've seen for both games. Mostly on me, but the cpu does avg 1 game so far.

For now, I wanted to get this thread started quickly so we can give our gameplay impressions, find the stand-out problems right away, and get to work on the solutions. So let's hear it: What do you love about the game? What do you hate? What issues are you seeing with the gameplay? NOTE: Please, let's not have a repeat of last year where people gave my thread a 1-star rating before I even posted my sliders. Low ratings make me a saaaad panda. UPDATE: My BASE slider set is ready to go! Take note that there has been very little (if ANY) fine-tuning or in depth changes. These are just the base settings that I'm going to build off of, so keep your expectations tempered a little! Base Slider Set - Latest Update: September 15th Fixed a typo for the Shooting Foul Frequency. Correct value - 73/68 Spoiler Gameplay Settings Difficulty - Superstar Quarter Length - 12 Minutes Fatigue - On Injuries - On Game Speed - 50 Free Throw Difficulty - 50 Shooting Type - User Timing FT Shooting Type - Real Player % Shot Meter - Off Shot Feedback - User Preference 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 Shot Reaction With Intense D - On (User Preference) Defensive Assist With Intense D - 0 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. User vs. CPU Sliders If there is only one value listed, it applies to both User and CPU. If there are two values, they will be in User/CPU format. Offense Inside Shot Success - 50 Close Shot Success - 50 Mid-Range Shot Success - 50 3PT Success - 50 Layup Success - 50 Dunk in Traffic Frequency - 60 Dunk in Traffic Success - 45 Pass Accuracy - 50 Alley-Oop Success - 50 Contact Shot Success - 50 Ball Security - 50 Body-Up Sensitivity - 100 Pass Speed - 50 Defense Driving Contact Shot Frequency - 100 Inside Contact Shot Frequency - 100 Layup Defense Strength (Takeoff) - 50 Layup Defense Strength (Release) - 50 Jump Shot Defense Strength (Gather) - 50 Jump Shot Defense Strength (Release) - 50 Help Defense Strength - 100 Steal Success - 50 Attributes Acceleration - 50/47 Vertical – 50 Strength – 50 Stamina – 50 Speed – 50/47 Durability - 50 Hustle – 60/50 Ball Handling – 50 Hands – 50 Dunking Ability - 50 On-Ball Defense – 55 Stealing – 45 Blocking – 50 Offensive Awareness - 50 Defensive Awareness – 55 Offensive Rebounding - 50 Defensive Rebounding – 50 Offensive Consistency - 50 Defensive Consistency - 60 Fatigue Rate – 50 Lateral Quickness - 35 Tendencies Take Inside Shots - 50 Take Close Shots - 50 Take Mid-Range Shots - 50 Take 3PT Shots - 50 Post Shots - 50 Attack the Basket - 50 Look for Post Players - 50 Throw Alley-Oops - 50 Attempt Dunks - 50 Attempt Putbacks - 35 Play Passing Lanes - 60/50 Go for On-Ball Steals - 60/50 Contest Shots - 60/50 Backdoor Cuts - 10 Fouls Over the Back Foul Frequency - 95 Charging Foul Frequency - 65 Blocking Foul Frequency - 65 Reaching Foul Frequency - 50 Shooting Foul Frequency - 73/68 Loose Ball Foul Frequency - 95 Movement Speed with Ball (Max rating) - 70 Speed with Ball (Min rating) - 30 Acceleration with Ball (Max rating) - 67 Acceleration with Ball (Min rating) - 33 Speed without Ball (Max rating) - 70 Speed without Ball (Min rating) - 30 Acceleration without Ball (Max rating) - 67 Acceleration without Ball (Min rating) - 33 My Current Focus Areas 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 Now that I've posted the base for my slider set, give it 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 personally haven't uploaded them, I posted the settings and sliders in the OP that you quoted. I won't upload mine to 2K Share until they're more than just a "Base" slider set.

In the meantime, another user here uploaded them. Info is below.

Opponent field goal needs to be raised somehow. As the Kings (currently 6-8 in mygm), I'm holding opponent teams to 42%, best in the league. I'm decent in the game but the common trend from what I've seen from people's screenshots is that the CPU doesn't shoot particularly well (or chooses bad shots).

I beat the Wizards in a game because John Wall shot horrible shot after horrible shot. I'm not saying that's impossible but it's happening.

Interestingly, my team is shooting 43% from the field on the season thus far, 29th in the league (2nd to last). That will get better as I'm starting to get my guys shots down, hopefully anyway.

The result is my team's total rebounds per game are FAR out in front - 64.6 a game. The 2nd best team in the league are the nuggets at 51.5. Willie Caulie Stein is getting 15 boards a game, Zach Randolph is getting close to 12-13.

The sliders are still enjoyable to play with and I don't mind the large variances, mostly because i'm not expecting to win it all with these guys in season 1 anyway. lol.

Note, I run plays on 80-90% of my possessions. Pace isn't breakneck fast but I do try and get out and push pace when possible.

I think most people are posting results in quick play. This is to give you an idea how how your base set is performing across a larger amount of games. Most games end in final scores with both teams around 100-110 points for me. A very few have ended in the high 90's. This seems to be on point, even with the low field goal percentages.

If FG and 3PT% can be slightly raised for both teams in such a way that it doesn't make scores start going over 120 PPG, that should bring the super high rebound totals in line and make them more realistic (would bumping to HoF accomplish this???)

It may have something to do with the new player transition/fast break tendencies. It's what decides whether a player will pull up vs drive in transition. At least that's what I remember reading in the blog.
