Too easy (sliders) when Run&Gun??!!

[Jou2maz]

I've tried Andrew's and Ben's Sliders and they are both waaaaaaaay to easy .. Plus I don't think it looks like real basketball :S It's way to easy to get to the rim or pass to a open guy for the three.. This wouldn't be a problem if the computer would to the same. But it only jams the ball @PG until someone takes a "sarcastic-like-indaface-trey"... But of course AI must hit some of them (and hits like 5 in a row then starts missing again).. This makes the game very "runny" (meaning the game consists of the player making a gap and the computer cathing it and then player making run and computer cathing it.. ETC).. So you just cant lose .. damn.. I don't wanna buy a PS2 just because I want to play SEGA (ESPN whatever) 2k4 ... It's a waste of money :/ (isnt gaming a waste of money? )...

Well I'll post my stats here so you can se what I'm talking about.. This is a very typical game for me; I won and full of runs...

Oh and I play 8mins Superstar using Ben's sliders (this one Ben's atleast)

turn all your scoring to '20' for cpu and user. that should be challenging enough and keep the rest of ben's sliders. Put your freestyle ability to about 15-20. Game speed to about 35-40. Fatigue effectiveness to 70-75.
see if that doesn't make it more challenging.

If that doesn't work, play with your eyes closed.That's a challenge for ya.

btw--nba basketball is a game of 'runs'. You should watch a real game once in awhile. Teams always come back in the NBA--except when the other team doesn't come out to play that night. I played a game where i lost in the final seconds, then the next game -I blew a team out by 18. i like how each game appears to be a little different. rememebr, this is the nba--maybe your looking for a more team oriented game like march madness.

try those sliders and tell me if it helped your experience.

if you are getting unrealistic scores slow the game down. i play on 12 mins quarters on all-star difficulty and score around 100 points per game.at the start of my franchise i scored arounds 140 points per game until i held the ball until the shot clock was at 12 then i would attack and score.

It could be a matter of your skill level. If you're an extremely good player, you're probably going to have blowouts.

I feel that both my sliders and Ben's sliders produce realistic results - I play using my sliders, and I've tried Ben's. All I can suggest is that you make further tweaks to suit your skill level and style of play.
