I have updated the aforementioned sliders with a minor but effective change. The change really tightens up and improves interior and overall D even more (more closeouts by cpu, more contact in paint and in general, more steals and blocks, more fouls,, more realistic fg%s, etc) and makes it a bit more challenging for the human player to score on the defense, especially when playing on Superstar level. Refer to the above link for the update.

I have known about them for a month and have been feeling guilty not disclosing them to the community . http://www.operationsports.com/forum...post2048103850 These sliders are effective in both All-Star and Superstar level of play. I normally play on Superstar and glad to say the game is VERY playable in this mode with this set. Basically, the sliders eliminate paint cheese and allows the cpu/human defender to track/guard various post moves more effectively while reducing the accuracy of these shots. It also reduces errant shots mainly by the cpu and retains crisp game flow. Rebounding and shot blocking are also noticeable improved! Overall, a very well balanced slider set that truly enhances the game! With the playoffs fast approaching, I figured this would be good time to post them here for the masses.

So those sliders, we leave human at default and just modify CPU?

Actualy, the slider settings apply to both human and CPU. I will update that thread to make this clear. In regards to the latest update, I recommend starting with Jostle vs Blow-by set to 20 for both Human and CPU. If you wish to see tighter defense then update CPU to 10. Feel free to update the community with your results after you apply and test them.

Is there a new update on Xbox today? I haven't played in months but started it up and it wants me to do a 2gb update. I have things set up to automatically update so if this is an old patch it should have installed already...

This game is fun in short doses (1-2 games a week), I'm glad I added it to the rotation along with 2K. Played the Raptors-Heat game yesterday and just had a blast; Lowry and Wade went off, just like they did irl.

There are issues with the game, for sure, but I feel like the positives outweigh the negatives.

I just downloaded the demo today, as I'm not really a big NBA fan...I'd love to play rising star, but I have 2 questions that I would really appreciate if someone could answer.

1) In the demo, 50% of the CPU's shots are 3s....I'd say about 66% (2/3) to 75% (3/4) of the CPU's 2 point field goal attempts are in the paint. Is this just a demo thing? Or is the full version of the game different? If I remember correctly, 33% (1/3) or less of FG attempts in a real NBA game are 3s. If that.

2) In rising star, can you adjust the sliders? I'm big on realistic stats. I simply want a career where I shoot 40-50% from the field, under 40% from 3, over 70% from the line, and have some nice close games.

Was this game worth a try?

I say yes personally. I'm very big on physics. This game does some things really well. But it lacks some animation fluidity. I have recently come back to this game after being frustrated with a noticeable lack of physics in other games.
