How is Editing sliders not cheating??????

[kaymagic91]

ok look...i see this so often on this forum and i dont get it, for exmple if i give myself more speed and lower the cpu,s to make the game "fair". how is that not cheating? everyone who does this to my understanding does it to make the game more enjoyable but your always having fun when winning or being succesful. Dont get me wrong theres like a million things i hate about this game but i dont touch sliders for any modes because i want to beat the game on its own terms.

I understand your point, I really do. Just remember that a lot of us edit sliders to make the game more realistic, not really easier. I understand if you think those two things are the same and on the surface I would agree. But again, I understand where you are coming from but I don't think it is as simple as saying that it is cheating since we are editing the CPU's abilities.

And also, some of us edit sliders and still lose. So the whole idea of, "Editing sliders = Winning" isn't always accurate.

I'm sure there are some who use sliders to gain an advantage, but the majority of the sliders sets posted give the game a more realistic feel and by no means makes the game easier. In a lot of cases the sliders make the game harder because you can't abuse certain "cheese" aspects of the game after slider adjustments.

I'm looking for more realistic play, Im 24-17 in my association and when I lose I feel I deserved it not because chris paul is grabbing rebounds over 3 of my guys in the paint or CPU is stroking shots late in the shot clock because the clutch factor is out of wack...The game out the box IS NOT perfect, it does need adjustments.

The problem though is that the games own terms cheat to begin with....so in order to combat the b/s that Rockchisler mentioned, sliders need to be tweaked.

I consider constant contested swishes with 1 second on the shotclock cheating....so I have no issues counteracting that....

The CPU cheats. I don't try to use sliders to make myself better, I try to prevent the CPU from cheating. It doesn't always work, though.

Anyway, you're cheating yourself the moment you play a video game. It's not real life.

Adjusting sliders isn't cheating..

If you really want to play a fair game put all the sliders to zero then everything will go off the player's ability.

Depending on the difficulty the game is already programed to cheat; whether its spd, shooting, sliding, morphing, and my favorite canimations.

If the game is programmed faulty adjusting the sliders to correct the faults.
