I can't wait to see the YouTube mycareer guys adjust.

You wanna fire away and shot poorly for that 35 or get that 22 with 6 assists and keep it moving?

I know that allstar/superstar sim is confirmed as the best setting for sim heads as of last year and this year as far as game tuning goes. I didn't pick up 2k15, but I read somewhere here last year that the cpu attribute boosts on Superstar and HOF were no longer visible in the substitution menu. If I remember right from before, allstar was even, below allstar gave user boosts, and above meant cpu attribute boosts.

For HOF slider guys like me, that makes it tricky. I always like to play on HOF for the added challenge and to make wins feel more meaningful, but I'd also be sure to nerf those cpu boosts in my custom sliders to make it an even playing field attribute wise(ex cpu players not being faster then user players through speed boosts). Any chance those will once again be visible in the substitution screen this year?

I agree for the most part. Usually through sliders I can get almost all the stats pretty close to real life on average over the course of a full length game. While at the same time keeping a real feel to the gameplay. The beauty is in the abnormalities for example some games you shoot lights out, some you struggle, but in the end if things are averaging out to close to real sim numbers while the game is playing as realistically as possible that's what you should want out of the game.

The only one that has always bugged me personally is the turnovers. Usually I find that in order to get realistic turnover numbers (without getting unrealistically high steal numbers) on average, I have to lower pass accuracy for both teams to the point that simple passes such as even imbounds are flying over teammates heads. I'd like to see more organic turnovers off miscommunication or just a bad pass from a low rated passer without the ball being off target by like 20 yards over head lol. With the pass accuracy on default I find there to almost be no turnovers that aren't steals. Lowering hands and dribbling attributes helps some though.

The CPU Milwaukee Bucks handed out 4 L's to the community yesterday. I like to call them "Authentic L's"

There's nothing in the game that's going to cheat you, their switch scheme combined with length was causing problems.

OG clearly feelin' it today after community day.

I expect we may hear some smack talk at Czar on tonight's SimHangout.

Now I'm double excited to hear they're worth using in 2k and their wingspan has an impact.
I can already hear the cries of OP wingspan cheese.

As if millions of cheesers will suddenly cry out in terror, and be suddenly silenced.

I'm sure people like Smoove or Shakedown will adjust well, from what I know they have a good knowledge of the game. I'm sure they'll be extremely pleased to make something different than pulling 50+ plus per game just to try to make your team win, because your team mates and coaches were garbage in 2k15 for the most part.

I'll also be happy to not always have to go "hero ball" and even take a back seat to other good players on my team. It's great to be a "franchise player", but also great to be a second option or even a role player, as long as your team plays well and gets some wins.

Arcade/casual is fun but it ends up being boring. Simulation may be frustrating at times, but it's much more rewarding when the good results come. I can't wait to play this game

May have been neither, but OG said someone who knows how to play got a beatdown by the CPU and was down 18 by the half during the visit on THUR

I wanna know who it was. Sounds like the AI is serious

Get on that superstar sim!

Someone will figure out something, right? I'm just as curious as to what go to move, plays, etc our gamers will use consistently.

OG,

Since you mentioned the Bucks can you go into detail of the defensive schemes teams can use on pick and rolls

Honestly, if everything that is laid out here and in SimNation Youtube, then I strongly believe those with better defensive skills will be able to exploit defense leading to transitional offense a lot better this year.

I consider myself very strong defensively even in older 2Ks onball so I'm looking forward to setting up the ai to stumble.

I am going to try to help the Timberwolves and Raptors do better than expected.

Only concern I have with the Timberwolves is Saunders - will he or will he not be coaching this year b/c of cancer and if not will his replacement be updated during the season?

Yep. We will update the scheme as the year continues. Whether that's Sam Mitchell or whoever is running the show.

Thanks for re-assuring me on this. I figured it would be considering how important the coach is to the defensive ACE but knowing for sure it will all be taken care of takes away any anxiety I had about using the Timberwolves.
