You will have to adjust the calibration on your TV. This helps out tremendously. Believe me you'll see less glossiness and more darkness in players. Follow the on screen instructions until the background of the EA logo is no longer visable, but you can still see the EA image.

I'll give these a shot. 2 questions though

1. What's with the low shooting sliders?
2. How do you enter the sliders since they don't have numbers? I noticed that one button press over is more than 1 click

EDIT: also how many minutes are you using with these?

1. The low shooting sliders combined with the close out effectiveness of the CPU equate to more realistic shooting percentanges when someone is contested. Individual player ratings, combined with their DNA will balance it out a lot better; otherwise you'll have players not named Kobe Bryant hitting some tough contested jump shots on a consistant basis.

2. As for entering the sliders. By default they are all at 50. Every click to the left or right = +1 or -1. Becareful though as sometimes you may click and it'll click twice. For example. If a setting states 45, you would count 5 clicks to the left.

Accepted your request.

Why not all fouls set to 100?

Average fouls around 25-30 per team, are you getting that with these sliders?

Seeing anywhere from 15 foul shot attempts, to 30 foul shot attempts (depends on the team's style of play). The reason why I don't set the Reach-In Foul Frequency is because IMO there would be too many ticky-tac fouls (more than an actual NBA game).

I think the biggest problem we are all seeing is the in-air collision foul frequency and shooting foul frequency. Even all the way maxed, we don't see enough fouls being called on those plays.

As for the charge/block foul frequency, I raised it up so teams can possibly get into the bonus more; however, too often when you're in the post and you make one small move you can be called for the offensive foul (especially with the defensive player in the paint). That's another one of my gripes that the developers have to patch, because by setting it too low, you can just back players all day without any consequences.

Cool. Another question. I was also wondering are you lowering the agility by 40 points per player and possibly vertical as suggested by someone on this forum?

I was just reading on that by Tomba (both he and Playmakers have been excellent contributers to the video game basketball community for years now). I'm going to tinker with it and see how it plays out with these sliders.

Looks Fuchin good man



Awesome job increasing the On Ball Physical defense it will also allow for more fouls to be called. You also nailed the Human sliders that needed to come up defensively (Interception, Steals Shot alter)

Also, you are probably the 1st guy i've seen that boosted up the CPU's Alley oop rate and passing game sliders. They simply do not execute alley oop's good at all.

The only thing i would suggest is lowering Contact shot percentages because you'll get less and 1's in the game and more guys shooting 2FT's which will help the the amount of FT attempts in the game.

I think these will be very good sliders for anyone playing on All-Star level and they might even work incredibly well on Pro level since you already boosted up the CPU's defense and dropped the Human shooting sliders.



Also EA should have added numbers this year to the sliders. There really is no excuse not have numbers included.
