Like Steph is averaging 36 points a game meanwhile I'm currently playing 6 minute quarters averaging 20 or so. How come the game doesn't scale down to your options? Show Quinciano 6 years ago#2 There is an option for it iirc sim quarter length or something. You play 6 minutes, but they have 12, I think if you change that to 6 it will be fair again.

I used to do that in NBA Live so I might be mistaken. "En mi mundo no hay reglas ni leyes aqui esta todo bajo control" tscookt 6 years ago#5 It depends if you're talking about mycareer or myleague. Sim quarter length is an option in myleague, for mycareer I think you would have to play full length quarters though (if that is even an option in settings) boomstickbhg 6 years ago#6 tscookt posted...

I make a lot of mistake, but I tend to ignore them until they go away, like illegitimate children. overcastone 6 years ago#7 boomstickbhg posted... ...but I don't recall seeing it available for My Career. It isn't available in MyCareer mode. You're just going to have to bump up the time you play on each quarter. Takes more time obviously, but you'll get more VC out of it too.

Quarter length doesn't really determine how much vc or extra vc u get, just difficulty. PSN: ClassicMan1982 Xain1313 6 years ago#9 yeah it would be nice, but then again I sit down for three minutes in a game and Steph curry goes from 2 points to twenty five and we still in the second. I wish the game would scale a bit more realistic, I get the warriors are great and if I sit on the bench be it for 1 minute or five we will be down thirty but good lord. forrestzK08 6 years ago#10 In mycareer you either have to adjust to time or play better. In my league you can adjust the sim quarter length. In mygm and league you can normalize minutes and stats to the sim length. I play almost exclusively 12 minute quarter games. Because it’s a regular length game, I have to use my bench. That’s one of the main reasons I like playing a 12 minute quarter game. It’s more realistic to use your bench in a 12 minute quarter game than a 5 or 6 minute quarter game. I’m not sure guys even get tired in a short game. In this article, I want to talk about using auto vs manual subs in NBA2K. I’ll talk about some tips for each of these approaches and then go into how I use what I use in my games which is auto subs. How to turn auto subs on or offIn the coach settings, you’ll find the option to set substitutions to “auto” or “manual.” I always check this setting prior to each game to make sure it’s how I want it to be and I recommend that you do that too. Normally my coach settings stick just fine, it’s what I want it to be and I don’t have to change it. Should you use manual or auto subs?Let’s address the first question I think you should ask about substitutions. Should you take total control and manually sub your guys in and out or let the cpu do it for you. If you are new to the game, I would set it to auto and let the cpu do it for you until you get used to how to play. But, in a true “sim” approach, I’d agree that you should make all substitutions decisions during a game yourself. In reality though, I have a tough time navigating all of the substitution menu’s quickly during gameplay as well as getting everything done during a timeout. While you get use to how to sub on the fly and during timeouts once you’ve done it often enough, I just haven’t done that yet. I still fumble with the controls to get who I want in and when. It’s for that reason that I use auto subs almost exclusively instead. However, I don’t give total control to the CPU without some direction as to how I want my substitutions to work. I think it’s a mistake just to put it on auto without some further setup which I go through a little later below. Things to consider for manual substitutionsIf you choose to sub manually, you’ll want to have a strategy for how to sub your guys in. Let’s talk about some things you’ll want to think about while subbing manually.
Those are just some of the things you’ll want to think about when you manually sub. Let’s talk about some tips to make manual subbing easier. Tips to make manually subbing easier during gamesHere are a few things I would do if I was a manual subber or wanted to become one.
Those are some things that I think are helpful in terms of manual subs. Now let’s talk about auto subs and what I recommend there if you are going to let the CPU take care of it for you. How to set up your auto subs properlyNow if you are new to the game, certainly start with auto subs until you get use to playing. Once you get used to how to play, you’ll have to decide whether you want to sub manually or use auto subs. When it comes to auto subs, you don’t just want to set it on auto and forget it. There are few other steps you want to take to make it work better for you. Here are the three areas you’ll need to also go in and set up: Coach settings
Rotations
Coach sliders There are three settings you will want to change under the coaching sliders.
These settings have worked really well. Although Oladipo sits more in the first quarter than I’d like, he still gets his share of minutes. The minutes balance out well, I don’t have platoon subs and guys who get hot tend to play a little more to take advantage of it. Drawback to auto subsYou’ll want to keep in mind that even with auto subs on, there will still be times when you’ll need take control of who is in the game. I often turn off auto subs when the game is out of reach and just play my bench. When a player gets into foul trouble, I sometimes have to sub him out manually because the game seems oblivious to foul trouble at times. The other main issue is dealing with matchup problems. With auto subs, you’ll be somewhat at the mercy of your rotations. That can hurt. Another issue is that if you have timeouts to manual and you don’t call timeout (or your opponent if they are on auto subs), there’s more likely to be a foul called on the floor to stop play so guys can get in. Do you manually sub or are you an auto subber?I personally am an auto subber so I can focus on playing. Let me know in the comments how you approach subbing your players. I’m interested in any tips you might have about subbing. |
