NBA LIVE 10 - NLSC Tournament - Winner Announced

[Andrew]

D-Will leading the tournament in scoring is the biggest surprise, but those were magnificent performances to watch.

Note: Fixed the rebound leaders, and did the top 10 for each category.

Game 1

Andrew (Bulls) vs Dee4Three (Nuggets)

NOTE: Andrew hosted (he is hosting his home games), but because of technical difficulties related to his emulator and/or graphics card, we had to play with no sound, and graphical glitches (Those glitches only happened in the second half). I put the highlights to NBA Live 99 music, and smoothed out the gameplay. Parsec worked fine.

Game 2 is special here, as Delonte West goes off. It is officially the "Delonte West Game"

Note: More issues with RPCS3 when we connected via Parsec (Andrew hosted, as he was at home). The game froze a couple minutes into the 4th quarter, and the players had blue arms in the second half.

As I said in the other topic, it's unfortunate that we encountered those errors, but at least there were some nice highlights. I'll have to go through the settings again, see if there's anything I can tweak further.

Maybe I can help you. Here are my Live 10 settings. Make sure you choose "change custom configuration" "boot from custom configuration" by right clicking on Live 10. Any setting I don't mention I haven't touched from the default.
CPU tab-
PPU and SPU at LLVM, check Enable SPU loop detection and SPU cache, SPU block size Mega or safe, Preferred threads set to Auto, RPSC3 scheduler.
GPU tab-
Vulkan renderer, Aspect Ratio 16:9, Framelimit Off, Anisotropic 16x, Anti-Aliasing Disabled, Default Resolution 1280x720, Resolutions Scale whatever you can run the game at comfortably(3840x2160/2560x1440/1920x1080), Resolution Scale Threshold 16x16, Shader Mode Async with Shader Interpreter, Number of Shader Compiler Threads Auto, Additional Settings checked- VSync, Stretch to Display Area(You may not need this unless you have black bars in fullscreen), Multithreaded RSX(Optional), Asynchronous Texture Streaming.
Audio Tab -
Audio out- XAudio2. If you continue to have no audio, try OpenAL. Audio Channels Downmix to 5.1 or Stereo. Volume Master 90%. Buffering checked at 125 ms. If you get crackling or audio cutting out, turn this up or even down. Time Stretching checked with Threshold set to 75%
Advanced Tab - check PPU LLVM Precompilation, Sleep Timers Accuracy - Usleep only, Maximum SPURS Threads unlimited. Driver Wake-up Delay 10 µs(This can be increased if there are sudden crashes and freezes), VBlank 60Hz, Clocks Scale 100%
Emulator Tab -
Max LLVM Compile Threads set to ALL

I mainly Play Elite 11, and these games are very similar. In Elite 11 I set framelimit to 60, Resolution Scale Threshold to 512x512(I don't think it does anything but I read in other games it fixed a blocky DoF), Audio Buffer 100 ms, Advanced tab- checked Accurate RSX reservation access, checked PPU LLVM Java Mode Handling, Driver Wake-up Delay at 600. You can try these if my Live 10 settings don't work for you.

It's not his emulator settings, it's a conflict on his end with the emulator and Parsec. That performance and those glitches do not happen when he is not connected with me on Parsec.

He is using the emulator settings I use (Which is almost exactly the same as yours), and my settings were perfect for me and him when he is not combining the emulator and Parsec.

It is strange, because Andrew is the only person I have connected with who has these issues. I have connected with over 10 other people (Them hosting), and they don't have any connection issues or glitching like Andrew does.

The Cavs (Cavs4872) reach the NBA Finals

Ilgauskas hit that fullcourt shot at the end!

I'll try some settings tweaks, but it really is weird. Outside of games with DRM that's no longer supported, it's the only thing that isn't working well following an upgrade to Windows 10.

One of the best games we've played. Proud of that final push I was able to make. Congrats Dee and Cavs, looking forward to the Finals!

Congratulations to our first champion, Dee4Three, and kudos also to our runner-up, Cavs4872! Also, hats off to everyone who competed in the tournament. It produced some really fun games to watch, and the sportsmanship and goodwill all around was really awesome to see. I hope everyone had fun competing, and watching the highlights! Also, an extra thanks to Dee4Three for co-ordinating everything, including hosting games and putting all the videos together.

As a test run, I believe this first tournament worked out extremely well. Parsec has opened up some great multiplayer opportunities for us, so we'll be running some more tournaments this year. Next up will be NBA Jam (2010) or NBA Jam: On Fire Edition, as per a Twitter poll. Additionally, we'd like to hold a tournament with a college game - possibly NCAA Basketball 09 - to coincide with this year's March Madness.

Moving forward, we're also open to suggestions. If you have any preferences as to format and structure, or suggestions for specific games, we'd love that feedback. Thanks again to everyone who competed; hopefully, we can make these tournaments a staple activity within our community.
