Ill be watching the Mavs game in 45 minutes and I promise you I will see some dumb things. This notion that people who have positive 2K experiences are fanboys is rubbish. The notion that people who have positive 2K experiences arent sim heads is rubbish. I watch 2-3 full games on my ILP every night. Don't believe me? Cool, why would I care about convincing you? I was the first to video catalogue how the physicality hurts the running of some plays. I told OG how the CPU doubles off good shooters one pass away too often. What I have objected to is hyperbolic statements like "This game is broken", or "The devs are lazy" or "This is NA Jam". In regards to sliders, Ive posted numerous times. I don't believe there is a magic roster set or slider file. It's entirely dependent on the individual. I stopped using others' years ago. Here's a few general tips. And keep in mind Im not scientific about this and not everything works for everyone. And as I keep saying, I play exclusively ML. Ive lowered CPU on ball D and the body up sensitivity sliders right down. This opens the game up. Ive boosted the CPU attack the basket slider. Ive increased their dunk tendency and contest shot tendency. Ive bumped up the CPU def and off awareness and consistency. I started editing my slider set from HOF so I get the full benefits of ACE. Benefits which I've posted numerous times, but people seem to ignore or dismiss. The rest are fairly standard. In terms of my roster it's been edited in game mode so I can't export it. I focused on a few things. I lowered the close shot tendency of heaps of players so you don't see those stupid 7 foot jumpers. I lowered the pull up tendency for slow teams so I see big differences in pace. Ive posted screenies as evidence. I boosted the oop pass tendency of most PG's to create that weapon. I edited lots of players play types to get them playing the way I want. I made lots of individual edits. There was no golden rule, a few players were given tendencies to do too many things. e.g. nonshooting bigs with eurosteps and pull up tendencies etc. Ive got the game playing the way I want. Is it perfect? Hell no. Is it a fun sim experience? Hell yes. For me, it is. For you, maybe/maybe not. I put heaps of vids on my channel to show how smooth the gameplay can be. There's heaps more I can put on, but don't have the time. And to the posters being very snarky towards anyone who is enjoying the game. Who would you rather be? The simheads enjoying their NBA game, or the ones being frustrated by it? Now, it's time to go and see how many ways my IRL Mavs can find to leave Lillard and McCollum wide open.

I've seen some verbal descriptions of adjustments you've made (even with bookmarks on my browser), but if you could post specific numbers, maybe on the slider forum, that would be welcome.

I posted specific stuff about MyLeague training adjustments in the slider sub-forum. If you could do something similar in that setting, I would eagerly try out what you've got.

The key is to help others replicate what you are experiencing, with specifics.

Im critiquing the game; I must be the worst employee in the world.

Ill remind you again; I'd rather be the person enjoying their sim experience than the one who's embittered enough to attack other posters.

Perhaps you should put me on ignore.

I played half a PNO online game. The guy shot 20 3s in the first half with Curry. And Im in Australian playing at peak hour; the lag wasn't fun.

There's nothing worth posting.

Ive got one of body up sensitivity sliders at 0 (cant remember if its HUM or CPU. It's the one which reduces the CPU onball stickiness). CPU on ball D is at about 20. Ive compensated by making their layup defense and close shot D at 70. Ive got CPU shot contest at 85, their attack the basket at 70, dunk tendency at 70.

Most of my time went into the roster, which I can't export. I posted my main things a few posts back. A focus was on reducing the amount of things players could do eg. bigs who could eurostep, dribble behind the back etc. Makes it less twitchy.

Otherwise I truly believe it would've dropped this week. Again, pure speculation. But in my mind, it helps explain the delay. I don't buy the delay being because of PS4 Pro and wanting to release next Thursday. Plenty of games have already released a "Pro" patch before it's even come out.

they already promised support for 2k17 at pro release so I imagine it'll be a pretty big **** storm if the patch isn't release before Thursday

if the patch truly breaks the game on 3 different systems, well i guess 5 if you count PS3 and 360(did it even come out on those?) then 2K has lost their touch and become a amateur dev incapable of fixing their mistakes.

I guess the worst part is they're too much of a coward to tell us what happened and still instead cling to "imminent" even though it's been a week

I appreciate the response. I imagine you can appreciate how much those who wish to replicate your experience might find that response insufficient and unhelpful.
