Because it is. It's thin line...a VERY thin line between all star and HOF. HOF just causes the CPU to play NBA Jam style while you can't hit a dunk on a fast break. Superstar takes away that element, but the rest remains as far as hitting shots in Superstar. If you actually want to hit shots, All Star is the way to go. With good D, you can shut down people without playing zone and you can actually make mid range jump shot, so the need to dunk every trip isn't needed.
Just my .99
edit: Proof!
I played Houston on my franchise with All Star settings and had a very close OT game that ended like 115-110. Played Houston again, changed some of my coach settings to press more on D, and won 77-52. Both games were 8 minute quarters.
We'll keep that in mind for the league, Jobber. I think you're right cos from what Cold and I played (HOF and SS with 50s across the board on sliders) the games were almost identical..
As far as the tourney goes, I've got everything back to the default settings for cutsom superstar games except for the following:
upped midrange shots by a pt
dropped 3pt shots by 5 pts
bumped fts from 57 to 70
dropped dunks in traffic from 50 to 40
dropped fouls by 5 pts
upped defensive boards by 10pts
Let me know how it plays. Give feedback on what you like/don't like...

You like me, you really really like me!
konex you're being way too kind with the free throw increase.
I personally don't find FTs hard at all.

Once you learn the release point of your players, it really isn't that difficult...
Based on a lot of games I've played, the only problems I've faced so far are the in-paint jumpers. Wade can't make a single one (and that's his forte) so I'm not sure if I'm releasing at the right time or something, but yeah.
I am fine with FT. Hell, I got 5 perfects in a row with Shaq :lol
I think it's a matter of learning their release point. I tend to release too late all the time, so just play more and it'll be easier.
And my 360 isn't here with me today but I will have it late tomorrow night, so FMT, PM me or something and we can set up game 1

8 minute quarters is a little too long in my opinion. That will have each game going well over an hour. I think 6-7 min quarters is a good sweet spot because if we are playing games every 3-4 days it is hard for me to throw in an hour plus on the Xbox on M-T.
Otherwise the settings look good, all of those are areas that needed to be addressed (except 3pt baskets).

The default for close range shots is less than mid and 3pts. That makes no sense so I fixed it by bumping it up to 65 from 59. Lemme know how your next game goes...
I'll put up polls on the league page after the tourney and we'll go with the majority...
PS: Cold and I just played our 2nd game with the updated sliders. It was pretty good

I am all for realistic scores, but not at the price of elongating the game as much as it will. Especially in the case of blowouts going on. Say someone is being blown out by 20 at halftime, that person will probably end up losing by like 35-40 points when it is over. Unlike Madden, the strong players will really weed out the weak ones since every play requires strategy. In Madden, people can chuck up bombs all game and sometimes keep it close. Not happening in NBA. Think about that when you guys are voting on this one.
At 8 mins, there is no way people are going to go for it. 7 mins is your best shot at trying to work the balance of realistic scores and length of game.

i don't really care too much about the time issue. i can tell you right now @ 7 min quarters there are going to be a lot of 60-55 type games. I'd prefer 8 min quarters but i won't whine about 7 min.
about the blowout issue, the one way to solve this problem if you want the game to end early is run the playclock to 1 second, problem solved. or just don't get blown out.

Wow pretty active thread the last two days.
Sliders seem good. I was thinking about game speed too but I'll play with these and see how it turns out.
So how do I use these sliders in a random online game? Do we meet in the tourney or league lobby and play a non-league game?

Game speed AND player speed need to be slowed down
Defensive rebounding is still bad, players still just stand there and watch the ball even if I set my Fastbreak slider to 0.
Its RICOCKULOUSLY easy to score in the paint.
Players take a long time to recover from fatigue, i would sit starters out when they are in their 60s in the middle of the 3rd, bring them out a couple of mins into the 4th and they are barely back in the 80s.
Jump shooting? Whats that? Oh, thats where I shoot the ball outside the paint, and the ball clanks off the rim 75% of the time!
Get to work on the sliders, konex. Or we MUTINY!!

Yeah, you can play in the tourney lobby. I haven't set the league sliders yetTruelize said:
Any other comments about this before I start messing with it..
I'll turn offensive rebounding down. I left that at default
Honestly I don't know what we can do against this as far as sliders go if someone has the mindset to drive EVERY possession. I guess we could look into the dribbling attributes but I don't really wanna go there since people playing sim-ball shouldn't have this issue. What do you suggest?
I haven't noticed this. I'll look into it my next game
I have that higher than the default custom sliders. Check and see for yourself. I upped inisde shots and mid-range while dropping 3pts from 62 to 58.

It's not about sim ball, it's about the post game. It's crazy good right now, i can post up Curry and score about 80% of the time, same with Frye. When i can my swingmen and guards in the point, it's gameover too...who knows what you can do...but i find it funny that Deng, who is a swing man, can be as successful as Duncan in the post, and by the way, PJ Brown for presidentCloudy said:

Well Juan is our first cheeser this year (benifit of the doubt cause he hasn't played in a GAF league yet though). I haven't played a game that bad in ages. It made the crap that Konex used to do with his 1-3-1 zones seem acceptable.
He scored 102 points in our game and only 12 shots went in from outside the paint. He only used his PG (mainly Arenas on defense)on defence to manually double team my offensive player, so I basically played against the computer the whole game. He would bring the ball up with Arenas and ISOmotion a couple of moves, get some room and go to the basket. It was like playing random people online when Marbury first went to the Knicks. It was just Areanas all day, all the time. And he was shooting and hitting threes and doing lead passes for dunks in the lane while up by 25 with less than a minute left. And I don't know if there is a slider to fix it but offensive players are really slippery this year. The contact you make with your defensive player doesn't seem to slow down the ball handler much at all.
It was a horrible game and I'm not looking forward to playing if this type of play is going to be accepted.
I am a co-commish this year and if teams do not make an attempt to occasionally play defense then I will have an issue with that. Even Konex started playing better defense last year and he used to be a big abuser of the manually double teaming play.
Things I would like to see.
