NBA 2K13: Finding the Right Gameplay Blend With Sliders

Yeah, because it's really realistic to make jump shots when you're on the way down from the apex of your jump. Timing the releases is one of the more enjoyable aspects of the game to me, just surprised that so many people feel differently.

By the way, I played a quarter with the "real %s" just to try it out, and it was the highest FG% I had in any quarter all game.

This is a very good game....but also the most frustrating game in how they've tuned the gameplay regarding the fastbreak. In all the slider sets I've ever created for a sports title, these are THE MOST TOUCHY and hard to figure out. It's like one small move with one slider totally sets off a HUGE hole with another slider. And thanks for the props in the first post... My goal with creating sliders is #1: create realism with regard to player movement & to get what I see on TV into the game itself. #2: THEN get the statistics to play out in simulation form. I think the reason many guys have good, but not great, sliders is they do this in reverse...

Real Player % takes in for account the ratings only and applys it to when you press the shooting button..... So basically it makes the game do the shooting for you. (which in my opinion is bad if you as a player want to play the game.)

This is not true and I think you have them confused with another company. Please tell us what major features have been removed in the last few years.

No, please don't.

It has nothing to do with this thread and we don't need this devolving into a "company/game war" type thread.

Ignore it and move on.

Why is the 3PT slider for the Simulation style set on 47? Why is it not on 50?

It is frustrating at times because I feel like I spend 50% of the time adjusting sliders and settings trying to get the game or teams to play more true to life than actually spending time to play the game. I've gotten to the point I'm tired of adjusting sliders, because alot of the gameplay issues are also because of 2K rosters and the teams playbooks not being good. I've now basically have adjusted the coaching profiles to calm down the crazy CPU fastbreaks, and to get post players more involved, applied vannwolf's playbooks to each team, slightly adjusted the sliders to make the cpu not attack the paint as much and fastbreak, and I've adjusted big men tendencies for more post shots, and finally put the gameplay to Pro instead of Allstar. Right now with all of this seems like this is most realistic I can get the CPU teams to play, I'm curious though to see what 2K will address with the patch.

Regarding the Simulation sliders, why is 3PT Shot Succes at 47 and not 50? Why is Inside and Close Shot Success at 45 and not 50? What is the purpose for these changes?
