PuntNL's NBA 2K11 SIMSTYLE SLIDER TWEAKS
for use with Rashidi's The Real 2K Insider roster

UPDATE: December 19, 2010 - v5.0 (final) - (patch 1.2)
v5.0 available on 2K share for PS3: PuntNL's NBA 2K11 slider tweaks v5.0 (final) (PSN: PuntNL)
v5.0 now also available on 2K share for Xbox 360: PuntNL Sim v5 (Gamertag: xxxdisciplexxx)


I decided to change things up. I will roll with Rashidi's The Real 2K Insider Roster from now on (November 1, 2010). The 2K rosters are flawed for many reasons (tendencies, touches, injuries and even ratings). Give some of the blogposts of Rashidi a read (http://thereal2kinsider.blogspot.com/) and you will see he has a lot of good points against the 2K insider and the official rosters. Furthermore Rashidi's experience with rosters and the implementation of synergy sports data, make these the definite roster. (more info here: Rashidi´s corner: The Real 2K Insider)

I use the PS3 port of the rosters, latest version:

As most who follow this thread probably know I want to adjust as less sliders as possible and with the use of this roster I hope to have even less adjustments from the default gamestyle.
Version 2.5 with the official rosters will therefore be the final version and you can find this in the 2nd post of this thread (below). This post will be used for the slider set (tweaks) specially cut for Rashidi's roster.

Of course the goal remains to get an enjoyable and realistic game of basketball (with as realistic as possible stats) and to do so with adjusting as less sliders as possible.

Select default gamestyle and than adjust the sliders mentioned below, so everything else remains on 50. If only one value is stated this value applies to both user and cpu, if two values are stated the 1st value is for the user and the 2nd for the cpu.

Between the (purple brackets) some adjustments if the standard set is not challenging enough

NBA 2K11 Simstyle slider tweaks by PuntNL


UPDATE: November 1, 2010 - v2.5 (Final version; from version 3.0 slider set is specifically made for use with Rashidi's roster)

v2.0 available on 2K share (PS3): PuntNL simstyle sliders v2.0 (PSN: PuntNL)

Most of the tweaks are inspired by the Simulation gamestyle introduced by 2K, however some departments will be a little more extreme (f.e. fouls) and others will be more conservative (f.e. shot success).

Yikes...over 100 fg attempts for both sides?

[PuntNL]

Yeah thats a lot! Was on 12 minute quarters and still scoring 100 with those percentages is not right. Probably have to go with 11 min quarters.

Updated the first post with version 0.75 for those interested. Changed quite some things. 3 point shooting is hard in 2K11, hardly ever reach 30% in a game. Would be nice if some people want to try these! Thanks.

Below some stats from a game which I had in the process going from v0.5 and v0.75 (still changed some things in v0.75 based on the stats in this game). Game was played on 12 minute quarters (11 maybe better again) and I played as the knicks.

As I can't really find another slider set which suits me I decided to continue with my own slider set. v1.0 is in the opening post. Had quitte some adjustments made, and it would be great if some people would want to jump in and try them. I think I am getting somewhere now.

My philosophy for this set is as follows:
I want to get an enjoyable, yet realistic game of basketball (with as realistic as possible stats) and to do so with adjusting as less sliders as possible. Furthermore I try to not break the game as it was intended by the producers by adjusting too many sliders into extremes (like to values of 0 and 100) (Not saying that it will if you decide otherwise but thats just my opinion).

Most of the tweaks are inspired by the Simulation gamestyle introduced by 2K, however some departments will be a little more extreme (f.e. fouls) and others will be more conservative (f.e. shot success).

I will post some stats with version 1.0 later today. Slider set is available on 2K Share (for PS3). PSN: PuntNL

Played my association game with the Blazers against the Raptors on All-Star difficulty. The sliders were great imo, really enjoyed the game. I was up by 20 points in the 3rd quarter, but then got sloppy and the Raptors came back. I play with player lock on PG.
