The Most Realistic Result I've Had So Far... Check It Out

[wangster]

I played a game on all-star difficulty at 12 minute quarters. Here are the stats.

Entire Game Utah New Orleans

Points 82 102
Bench Scoring 21 13
Field Goals 33/78 41/93
Field Goal % .423 .441
3 Point FG 1/14 5/24
3 Point % .071 .208
Free Throws 15/20 15/22
Free Throw % .750 .682
Rebounds 43 52
Off. Rebounds 5 10
Def. Rebounds 38 42
Blocks 5 1
Steals 2 11
Assists 14 19
Turnovers 17 14
Fouls 24 21

Not bad, don't you think? I used New Orleans and with Baron Davis in fould trouble for most of the game, Mashburn had to take a bulk of the offensive load. He finished with 39pts on 16 for 30 shooting and 8 rebounds. Utah, as it should be in real life, was very even with their scoring with no one standing out from the rest. Kirilenko got off to a quick start but Deshawn Stevenson ended up with the most points. Oh yeah, and Courtney Alexander got injured in the second quarter and made a return near the end of the game. Overall, a very realistic game, which was pretty close until the fourth quarter where I pulled away with smothering defense and aggressive attacks.

Here are my slider settings:

Some of these settings were borrowed from Ben Bailey's settings. I know some of you may think I have much lower settings for cpu but I think it helps in reducing the number of time they shoot and leads to realistic scores. I make up for it by switching my player constantly on defense so that I will be playing as honestly as possible. In fact, it is infinitely better to play defense like that so you can by yourself limit the production and movement of the guards so the cpu will have to play more deliberate basketball on each possession. Anyways, try it out and I hope you guys get realistic results too.

EDIT: Here is another game...

Entire Game Golden State Toronto

Points 81 106
Bench Scoring 11 41
Field Goals 26/80 48/83
Field Goal % .325 .578
3 Point FG 6/35 7/18

Blocks 9 4
Steals 4 6
Assists 14 33

Both games have lopsided scores in my favour, but trust me, these slider settings are not designed to make the game easier on all-star difficulty. If you take too many chances on offense, waste too much time, or play lazy defense, you WILL get blown out by the cpu.

all looks very good, but imo, 40 game speed is TOO slow, i wish we could find a way to get realistic scores wihout making the game crawl

basically the one Andrew uses with a few tweaks. All-Star, 8 minute quarters, just played a Philly-NY game, where it was me 101, NY 93. Great game, wire to wire. Very realistic stats

too bad i didnt save the team stats, though the FG% were pretty accurate. my FT% sucked because I'm still getting used to it

[Ymakino]

your fouls are down too low! you've got like 3team fouls for the whole game .

[FanOfAll]

That's true. didn't notice that, thanks I'll have to change it.

I made a little too many mistakes near the end of the game and could not complete the comeback. I was able to play a very balanced game with Jermaine O'neal producing near the paint and the outside shooters making big shots. But I noticed that Mike Miller and Jason Williams actually played for the whole 48 minutes so I might have to raise CPU substitution a little bit.
