sladler 2K12 Sim style based on MKHarsh 2K11

[sladler10]

Hey everyone! I have noticed that MKHarsh seems to be the man for the 2K11 sliders. Since he does not have 2K12 I have taken it upon myself to tweek his 2K11 work. I started with his base and made changes as needed. I have been playing for a week straight and will continue to tweak as needed. The next post will have the sliders. I will post box scores after each of my association games. All feedback will be considered. Lets get to work!

Game 1 box score. It was a defensive battle. Real close game. Must games wiith these sliders are a bit higher scoring than this one.

[Agame]

Play another game or two and post. Also write more about how the game really played: more like real basketball or like a video game. So far I have not found a way for a point guard like Rose to beat his man off the dribble consistently.....HE SHOULD.....they double down to him when he drives, because they have to...But not in 2K12 yet.

[mkharsh33]

To fix Agame's issue, I'd suggest raising user quickness to 53. With on ball defense at 70, you're going to get those "force-field effects" on defense. I know there are many slider creators who like a lower on ball defense, but I do not. I like it higher, otherwise the game turns into a layup fest. But raising the quickness slider actually brought out some cool animations, especially when you get good on the right stick / left trigger dribble moves. Just a suggestion (and very humbled by your kind words in post 1). Thanks!

Would lowering on ball d and raising help defense effectiveness help with that? That's how it happens in real life, the roses and wades get by their on ball defender and (not) get stopped or forced into bad shots by help defense.

[mkharsh33]

it's a catch-22... you want the cpu to play SMART / High IQ basketball. So what I like to do is raise the defensive awareness and the on-ball defense, BUT raise the user quickness up a bit. I found in my slider testing that this really brought out some cool dribble animations. it does NOT cheapen the game. For 2K11 (since I don't own 2K12) I have found 53 to be the sweet spot for user quickness. yes, I still get bumped a bit, but the alternative of running circles around the cpu defender is no fun. you've also got to be good on the sticks, but if you practice at it, it really looks like NBA-talent type moves. Again, just my opinion...

[sladler10]

Will update User quickness to 53 in original post. It makes sense since the CPU can get past the user a lot easier than the user can get past the CPU.
