Elxar's NBA 2K9 Sliders

Well this is one aspect of the game I consider the most important next to rosters. The default sliders are unbalanced and unrealistic in my opinion so a good set of modified sliders will help improve game play a lot. So lets make the best realistic sliders for the game ayt?



Well this will be my last version I think because whatever I do, sliders will be a self taste and preference for each player so I focused on fixing things that are broken in the game.


Version Final



Game play:
Difficulty : Pro- Hall of Fame
Game Speed: Slow* (makes it more sim like in phase)
Quarter Length: 10 Minutes (recommended)

(As you adjust the Quarter length I recommend you to also adjust the game speed and Number of Fouls to suite gameplay. Like in 3 Mins. you should only have 3 Fouls.)

I like to credit this set to Crush1 and these will be my last set. Yes I give up fixing the game and I find that this set is well rounded. Also I played the Next Gen version of this game and I must say it well refined, has some issues but not so many. I had fun editing sliders but I think its enough I foun the set I was looking for and from these sliders try to find the best set for you.

Hmmm...

I'll test these out later :p

I'm watching CLE@NOH right now so I can't test them.

I'll post my own ones up soon.

Tried my 2.0 @ Superstas and it works great

Hmm..

I need H.O.F sliders.

I'm currently working on those.

Tried my 2.0 with hall of fame slider and still works a charm although CPU is more challenging.

i'll try this one out!

this sliders are good, but too many fouls!

Yes I noticed that too maybe you just should lower fouling from 75 to 65 I noticed that many players start to graduate during the fourth quarter too.

Released Ver. 2.1

I'm testing these out right now...

I'll tell you how they're like..

i'll be testing this sliders too, by friday

The sliders are fairly good.
But what do I have to change so that I have accurate sliders for 5 mins?

Hmm for 5 minutes I think try setting the gameplay to fast ( but normal seems pretty speedy for me too) And just trim the foul out by 1 (5 Fouls). Still Im not happy with the dunk rate because at 50 almost everybody Dunk but when I set it lower some centers and PF dont Dunk.

try lowering the player's dunk tendencies, but i am not so sure if it will work though

Tried that already but it does not work well also what annoys me are center/PF dunking like Guards, currently I'm working on my version 3.0 which will be focusing on simulating 12 minutes/qrt of play.

Alright...

please don't remove previous versions of your sliders.

ok I wont actually I will be just tweaking them a little so that you can play in 12 minutes. I'm already happy with the FG percentages the only problem is the scoring which up to now I still get 130-150 pts. per game. Also I noticed fouling rates have to be tweaked especially blocking and shooting ones.

Too many over the back fouls occur mate.
