Wonderland's PC sliders/settings

[shaze]

Hey,

first of all, I tried many slider settings but obviously yours are the most realistic and suitable ones.

But I still have some concerns about the gameplay.

Sometimes the CPU is like he doesn't know what to do in offense. Just for example I played suns against hornets, and CP got the Ball to stojakovic. Then he actually did nothing but standing for 15 secs at the 3pt line, bouncing the ball and waiting for... i don't know. At about 3 secs to go he passed the ball to West and he made an nearly impossible shot. That happend to me about 5 times so far. CPU doesn't know what to do, waits until shot clock runs down and in the last 5 seconds he get the ball to a shooter who makes the point.

Another issue i'd like to mention: Sometimes I miss open 3s. Seems to be realistic but considering that I play with the Suns and Nash doesn't miss open 3s very often, its annoying. I only take open 3s, and everytime I try a 3-pointer Nash is wide open. Anyway he still got 2-9 from downtown. Maybe its just because of my bad shooting technique, but 2-9 is way too bad...

Nevertheless, really good job! Well done, keep it going...

Hey Wonderland, any news on the new version?

[His_Greatness]

How can I increase scoring without increasing minutes and still keeping the stats realistic? I'm playing with 8 minute quarters and scoring an average of 70 points a game.

Also, anyone else think there are too many CPU blocks, steals and fast break points?

Overall, great sliders though. They are as realistic as you can get.

It goes with the gameplay sliders overall in the sense that it's geared towards less inside stuff, slower pace, better defense, etc. User offense: You should have a tougher time of getting your shot, and it will definitely be important to get open shots with these because it's tougher to knock them down. You'll have to run some plays or otherwise do a good job of strategizing and finding the open man or you're not gonna put up a good shooting percentage or points. It should also be tougher to cheese drives to the hoop, although some of that is up to the player. I recommend playing realistically on your part. CPU offense: Major work has gone into trying to alter the awful tendencies of the cpu doing nothing but cut to the basket and score off-the-charts points in the paint. I think I've gotten to a point where you'll see a good distribution of shots, including plenty of mid range jumpers and enough threes. They won't be able to drive the lane at will anymore and if you're able to play competent D, you'll have a significantly improve experience from vanilla. User defense: This has been improved to make it harder for the cpu to get inside and cheese those close shots. You still have to make an effort, do your best to cut off drives, call appropriate double teams and just do what real teams do to prevent opposing teams from lighting them up. You're cpu teammates should also be much more competent, giving good help defense while not abusing it by constantly leaving their man and switching off. CPU defense: This is one of the best parts. I beleive it's pretty tough defense now and you really do have to work to get your shot. You can try just tossing them up from anywhere in any situation, but you're not going to have success. They'll also stick to their man better on the ball and make it tough to drive to the hoop. They also do a good job of playing passing lanes and forcing you to make good decisions and not carelessly throw the rock around expecting results. Settings: I highly recommend trying out the supplied settings as they are designed to work in conjunction with the sliders. The minutes are set at 6 per quarter, so everything is easily multiplied by two for full-time stats. If you want to play full-time, I would suggest making it 12 minutes because the sliders are balanced for slower gameplay and realistic action relative to a 12 minute quarter system. Also, in the interest of realism, all possible icons that can be turned off are off for a minimalist look and feel. You really have to feel out the game for yourself instead of relying on tracking icons or anything else, making it more challenging and fun in my opinion. One of the points I worked towards was realistic fouling, so if you're more into an arcade experience that's just non-stop action, this might not be for you. My ultimate goal is to get as close to a realistic games as possible, so there'll be realistic fouls in the lanes and even some jump shots fouls for overzealous fellas. Fouls: I dropped the foul out limit to 3 to be consistent with the half-time feel of the settings. Now to go along with this, I've also dropped foul rates so there aren't as many and people don't get benched a minute into the game with 1 foul... at least not as often as it would have been before. This also has some other good effects in that there are less free throws, more field goals, hence more rebounds which was lacking in recent versions with more fouls. It also works towards field goal percentage realism. So here's the deal. If you guys want to go back to 6 foul out limit, you should go back to the previous setting of Reach In foul: 60 and Shooting foul: 85 to get back to the earlier levels of more fouls and free throws per game, without getting people benched and fouling out too early. For more detailed foul settings regarding different quarter lengths; updated 11/2 Spoiler 6 minutes - use the default settings file that comes with the download, 3 foul limit. 8 minutes - increase the foul out limit to 4. 10 minutes - increase the foul out limit to 5, increase the Reach in and Shooting foul sliders by one notch to 60 and 65. Also increase the CPU 'Go for on-ball steals' slider to 43. 12 minutes - standard 6 foul limit, increase Reach in and Shooting foul sliders by two notches to 65 and 70. Also increase the CPU 'Go for on-ball steals' slider to 45. Installation XP: open any folder and click Tools->Folder Options->View->check Show hidden files and folders. unzip and put the files in _:\Documents and Settings\user name\Application Data\2K Sports\NBA 2K9\Saves It won't overwrite any of your existing files and you can load them separately in the game.

I am seeing this problem way to often in my games. Any fix for this???

[tril]

noticed this a few times. just back away from the player or switch off the defensive player and the cpu will continue running the play.

so far its minor , I havent noticed this in close game yet

[RhapsodyJazz]

Hey.

20-6 so far in my season. Been having a blast. Close games are intense, but frustrating (because I expect to win big lol). I love when I blowout a team (20 pts average), but I also have close games. Happy I beat the Lakers, Celtics twice, Mavericks, etc. but I've lost to the Nets twice and the Jazz whooped my team.

LOL. The Thunder are really pathetic. That's my 8-9 man roster that I use by the way.

I'm satisfied. I hope you all are too.

Yo wonderland! :-) I like your rosters, setting and sliders! But how come you don't add Micheal Jordan in the 90's east all star? like nigu's. That could really make your rosters complete and worthwhile!

Hey, Wonderland great rosters and sliders. When is the next update ?
