Additionally, the game is a challenge but not an unfair one; though you will likely need to gameplan to win games.
I've tried the game with all defensive sliders jacked up to 100, and ive tried almost every single slider set you can think of. NOTHING fixes the one on one defense, and the help defense is almost as bad. With defensive sliders jacked to 100, I can drive in from the perimeter with Steven Adams and score 8 or 9 out of 10 times.
If you want to fake simulation, by all means go for it. But no, the defense in this game is not challenging no matter what sliders you use, because it's a motion system issue. If you havnt already, check out my defense thread. I have videos of exactly what I am talking about.
And no, your sliders cannot make it harder than playing on HOF default and after changing defensive sliders to 100. I even brought my player speed down to like 10 to see what happened, and I was crushing it driving from the perimeter with Hassan Whiteside.
The people who say that they get a realistic experience, are not playing the game at their best. If you are trying your hardest against the CPU, you can just run by your perimeter defender every single time. I have shown that time and time again. Someone else suggested that sim needed to be faked, and said that's actually what people should do. To me, that ruins the competition side of things, I play the game to compete, not to LET the CPU guard me better even though I know I can beat them by just running by them. The game is supposed to challenge you, not make you fake it for a challenge.
Either way, glad people are not giving up hope. But don't expect anything to change with the broken motion system until 2K19, we just need to hope overall that it's better with the new game.
All this said and you haven't tried the roster it sounds like. Your prerogative; I'm enjoying the experience and receiving sim results while playing naturally. Everyone plays the game differently though, so looks like you'll need to hope for the best out of 2K19.
No eko, I just understand the way the game works. I don't need to try it.
And I'm not waiting until 2K19, I have all the 2K's going back to 2k6, and all Lives going back to 06. I have plenty of basketball games to be played.
However, I don't want to hurt this thread. With that being said, ill bow out. I hope people have a good time with your roster, and I sincerely mean that.
I appreciate that, but your experience is not absolute or universal. What I am speaking is accurate to my experience and may be to others who utilize the roster. What you are saying is accurate to yours based on what you have tried. This is not my first go round with rosters and slider sets; been doing this since NBA 2K2. Whoever tries and enjoys this roster I'm glad; whoever doesn't that's perfectly fine too, lol. This is a free mod. No one's getting paid here.
