LOL @ NBA2K10

I'm playing a season with the Blazers. We're 16-10. I start Miller. He's averaging 22 assists per game. Blake actually just had a good game off the bench though. Anyway, I just loaded it up and the top headline is "Blake becoming frustrated with Trail Blazers." How hilarious is that??

 

[VanillaGorilla]

How do you average 22 assists a game? That's ridiculous..

 

[LameR]

Not very.

How do you get Miller to average 22 assists per game and are still only 16-10?

 

[Natebishop3]

I dropped a 40 assist game with Chris Paul. It's not that hard. Just keep feeding Greg Oden the fucking ball!

I had a 40 assist game with Chris Paul too! This weekend against my brother!

As for how do I average 22 assists with Andre Miller... well first, I don't have him shoot. He only averages 6 ppg. I see him primarily as a ball handler and set up artist. He pushes the ball and gets the ball to anyone racing towards the basket, usually LMA (25 ppg) or Oden (30 ppg). If I can't get anything on the move, I call for a pick from either LMA or Oden. I dribble around, LMA or Oden roll to the hole and there's a wide open dunk. That is how Miller gets most of his assists. Like I said, I don't use him as a scorer. He's always looking to pass. Roy (24 ppg) averages 9 assists too.

And we're 18-10 now. 4th in the West behind Lakers, Nuggets, & Spurs. On a 7 game win streak. The bad news is that we have been blown out by the Rockets three times (they always give me trouble because of Yao) and if we meet them in the playoffs (they're currently 5th), we could be screwed. The interesting news, though, is that since the last blowout loss to the Rockets, the Rockets have traded Tracy McGrady to Heat for Jermaine O'Neal. I think that favors us. We'll see in the 4th meeting of the season next month (I think it's next month). Also, on a side note, the Heat signed Iverson. My next game is against the new look Heat: Wade/Iverson/McGrady combo. Should be interesting....

I should add that I started the season 0-4 because I was getting the feel for the new game.

 

[KingSpeed]

You play on the 360 or PS3?

PS3

 

[VanillaGorilla]

... I don't see how playing the game so unrealistically is fun, but maybe thats just me.

 

[Wheels]

Pick and Roll with LMA and GO all game and you will get 50 assists with Miller I swear lol.

 

[santeesioux]

Man they really fucked Oden up in this game, if you don't mess with the ratings or real rotation minutes he's lucky to average 6 points and 7 rebounds...

 

[KingSpeed]

I don't mess with the ratings or rotation minutes and he averages 30 & 10 for me.

 

[VanillaGorilla]

Best basketball sim out there. NBA Live still have those hunchbacks as player models.

No I mean I play 2k10 but I try to make it realistic.

 

[Sean.ivity]

are you playing like 12 minute quarters? lol.. I play on 5 minute quarters on all star and I cant score at will like that, pick and rolls work but not everytime, anyway roy is my leading scorer with 12ppg, Andre avg like 6 assist per game, Oden is around 7ppg and 6rpg... I play short quarters so I can get through more games otherwise i lose interest... anyway im like 18 an 12 only play the top teams or teams in my division and I sim the rest.. been playing 2k basketball since 2k on the Dreamcast.. love it, lol... but if your getting those kind of numbers maybe time to bump the difficulty up? my nephew was playing Madden and was bragging that he was winning by 60 points(hes 9 playing on pro), lol... time to bump up the difficulty..

 

[Moo2K4]

Sounds like you need to do a couple things. One, up the difficulty. You're probably playing on Pro if you're raking up points that easily with LMA and Oden. 2nd, adjust the sliders. NBA games are god awful if you play them on default sliders. I've adjust the hell out of my sliders and I barely crack 30ppg with Kobe. It's a nice challenge. I play on 9 minute quarters and usually end with relatively realistic scores, percentages, and just stats in general.

I play 12 minute quarters. I just played the Heat who only have one center. Some guy named Anthony. I kept giving the ball to Oden and he had like 20 points six minutes into the first quarter so I kept going to him and finished with 109 points! Now he's tied with Kevin Martin for league leader in scoring at 33 ppg.

Are you going to consider going up on the difficulty? Just wondering. If what you're doing now is more fun for you, more power to ya.

Is 109 points the most you've scored with one guy?

 

[Master Shake]

How do you sit there for 48 minutes? I could score 300 points in a full 48 minute game. But it takes way to fucking long. I go 5 minutes and that's good enough for me. I don't need my players averaging like 87 PPG, 74 RPG and 34 APG.

 

[Mediocre Man]

I don't mess with the ratings or rotation minutes and he averages 30 & 10 for me.

In only 25 minutes a game? I mean, CLEARLY you aren't giving him more time than his NBA coach is, are you?

 

[Master Shake]

For sure he is grabbing 30-10 in 25 minutes.

 

[santeesioux]

I don't mess with the ratings or rotation minutes and he averages 30 & 10 for me.

I mean when i sim games in association mode, he picks up 20 points and like 15 rebounds easily when i actually play

did you have to lower the 3pt % for the other team as well? I swear I moved them down to 40 on 3's but they still go 13-20 on them. I am also at 9 minute quarters but for some reason the other teams score only 75 against me.. I should maybe lower my stuff even further.. and increase the minutes of the quarter to make it even more realistic I'm stuck

 

[Luther]

This thread reminds me of when I was 15 playing NBA Live and dropping 100 with Pat Garrity. You could pull up every time down the court and have an 80% chance of hitting a 3. Adjust the sliders and up the difficulty haha.

I've got all the shooting sliders lowered for human and CPU, well, mostly. Not to advertise for another board, but if you go to OperationSports.com, they've got a whole slew of posters that do nothing but make sliders for sports games. Just look for the threads that have tons of posts, those are usually the best ones.

 

[Idog1976]

I know. Miller starting? Blake going to the media? Oden being fed the ball on the pick and Roll? Far, FAR too unrealistic for me.

I want to see Blake starting and getting 4.5 assists a game, you know like real life. Also, the fact that Roy isn't struggling in 2k10 really detracts from the realism.

Kingspeed when you "call for a pick", I assume it's because you selected McMillan on the bench to call the play? It must be hard switching to the coach to call a play and then switching back to the player to do the play.

nice! thanks for the info on that.. I have a hard time with the sliders.. It takes a bunch of games worth of tweaking to get it just right for me. repped.

 

[BenDavis503]

This game is great!!! I love it.

 

[Sean.ivity]

Dirty! Vince Carter just hit a 3/4 shot at the end of the 3rd to tie it up... problem is it bounced off the rim and hit the shot clock then fell on rim and sat there for a second and went in.... I guess since there was no time on the clock the video game doesn't count out of bounds, lol.

 

[BenDavis503]

I love this game.

Who wants to play me online? XBox 360

Being that I'm only 19-10 which is good but still challenging to win it all, I'm sticking with my level of difficulty for now. 109 is the most points of scored with only one guy mostly because I never try to do that. I usually play with a more balanced attack.

300 ppg?? I don't think you could that. My best is around 180 ppg. My top scorer, Oden, only averages 33 ppg. It takes about an hour to play each game. It's a lot of work but it makes winning the championship a really big accomplishment. Every year, I try to break the 33 game win streak record but I never get close. I think the longest win streak I've ever had is 10. I have an 8 game one going right now. Last season, I started really slow and then clinched the best record in the league on the last day of the season. I hope to do that again this season. Big games against San Antonio and Denver coming up!
