Found A Major Fix for 2K: Making Teams Play With IRL Tactics, Usage, Spacing + Pace

[itchyroll_51]

We've all experienced this problem on 2K: teams + players not playing like their real-life counterparts. Usually the issue comes down to four things: spacing, tactics, usage rate, + rotations.

I believe I've found a method to fix all 4, and I applied this method to the 2K21 Bucks on Next Gen (PS5). In the following video you can see how the CPU Bucks have changed in 20 major ways after my modding and the result is the most NBA authentic 2K experience you can have playing against the Bucks.



Please download the roster file "SamPham Bucks 2021 Finals Tendo" and test it out for me ? It will be great if you guys can post your experience + box scores on here. I truly believe I am at the beginning of being able to deliver an authentic NBA tactics experience for everyone on 2K with CPU teams. The more feedback I can get the better. Hopefully this helps all of you enjoy the game more. Let me know how you do against these modded 2021 Finals Bucks, Thank you !

I appreciate the support but I think one big reason 2K can't do this is because it doesn't suit into any of their modes (long term). We all know most devs are already loaded with work, for 2K to do something like this they will have to assign one guy to update a new team weekly. And this is meant to be a one 7 game series experience, if someone was to simulate 10 years with these modded Bucks I think they will end up playing weird even with just one roster change anywhere down the line.

I can tell you right now, modding these final bucks probably took 6 hours of research, and an other 6 hours on the actual modding + subsequent testing. I was able to do this relatively quickly b/c i was watching the finals closely so the research part was already done.

I can't see 2K dedicating their resources on this just to satisfy the hardcore SIM 2K gamers like ourselves. But I'll try to do as many of these as I can for you guys, they are time consuming but i will try my best.

I have to give 2K props tho, the foundation is there for some pretty amazing gameplay. They just need to keep tweaking it and really dedicate on creating an authentic NBA challenge, is possible but out of the box is not close.

Going to get heat for this, but I wonder if 2k spent less time funneling their time & resources into making all these whacky fantasy modes, they'd actually be able to put some solid time into getting tendencies and signatures right, to get players playing the way they should, instead of us having to spend several months, every iteration, having to modify everything, just to get teams to play anywhere near their real life counterparts....

Sam already answered this but they can’t even get the stars right.

Donovan Mitchell is a two legged jumper who’s only explosive going left and needs space yet on here he has all these contact dunk animations off one foot. He plays like prime Dwade on here when they don’t attack the same.

Sam, are there any sliders to tweak or other settings or just load the roster and play?

Got in a quick 10 mins before the draft. I never seen such great spacing by the computer. Realistic ball movement and attacking at the correct moment and hitting the open man in the corner when I tried to help. On defense they were switching off and I actually saw a double team on Trae Young after he had a couple of assists!!!! Great job!!!!! They ended up by one before I turned it off.

Is there a way to get this to be universally applied to every team on MyNBA mode?

And is there any trick to getting specifically the switching on defense and doubling guards to apply to any game via sliders??
