Official Slider Tweaks Thread

if there is such a thing as dunk ratio's... where do you find that? having an actual percentage based rating would be even better than my method. i just dont know if anybody tracks each player's layup vs dunks....

hey playmakers, how do your sliders work with the update? are you revamping?

I'm going to be working on Super Star sliders after i can get an updated DNA roster file soon.

I think that last updated roster file was terrible because it has glitches in it

Looks good i'll give them a shot this weekend and give you some feedback....

I keep trying to make Super Star level play like Pro level but it's really annoying at times. So, I might go back to Pro level again

I'm going to give your sliders a rock tonight. Will let you know what I think.

You playing 12 min qtrs?

ps: forgive my ignorance, but since the sliders aren't actually numbered, i'm assuming we are taking an educated guess as to where a certain number would be on the slider when we adjust them?

Hi, Im new here. Just bought the game and sold my 2k10 'cause it was really weak this year and i totally really liked Live 10 demo.

So few questions:
Should I change the fatigue effect to have realistic minutes for players? (I played the demo and there weren't any subs at all)
I play 10 minute quarters
and should i tweak the shot success sliders to have realistic FG%?

TNX in advance

If you're playing ten minute quarters, you probably won't have to tweak the fatigue slider too much, if at all. I'd play a game or two and see how you like the substitution frequency. Same goes for the field goal sliders, I don't think the default settings are too bad but play a game and see what you think.

How the heck do you know where your slider is at when you adjust it? Is the total slider set out of 50? Impossible to tell with EA not providing numbers.

Absolutely, that's been a problem with sliders in this generation of NBA Lives. The middle of the slider represents 50, so it's a matter of counting the number of "notches" you move left or right of the middle. Cumbersome and inconvenient, for sure.

Thanks. I was using King James sliders and I just didn't realize how quick/touchy the sliders are. I'm just eyeing up some of those things. As a past fan of the NBA and someone getting back into basketball (mainly because I've been coaching some little kids, been years since I've played) it is nice to play some video game basketball. I always liked Live's controls better and for $10 this game is a steal.

Yeah, that's the other problem with the lack of numbers on the sliders, it's very easy to overshoot a "notch". Usually one or two either way won't make too much of a difference (and it's easy enough to adjust if so) but yeah, it makes it more complicated than it needs to be. I can't remember if we mentioned that in our Wishlist materials, I'll probably be sending through some follow up info to the dev team so it's probably worth a mention.

One thing that stands out at me after playing awhile is that the rebounding sliders don't seem to work. There simply aren't enough offensive rebounds. I just played the Magic and they got one offensive board all game. I've got cpu offensive rebounding at 100 and user defensive rebounding at 0 (on Pro). I don't think those sliders work at all unless they are backwards. This is probably a reason I don't see enough fast break points as people don't crash the boards hard enough.

I don't think I'm the greatest player and after reading Andrew's complaints about some things on Superstar I have just stayed on Pro the whole time and have had a lot of fun. Games are close although this is one area that is weak imo. Here are my current sliders.
