CPU Unable to play offense in MyNBA

[cloakingturtle]

Is it just me or the CPU is incapable of running any kind of offense. It's extremely bad when i play a team like the pistons. They will just dribble the ball in front of the defender run out the clock and take a terrible shot. 12 min quarters and the pistons barely scored 60. And im really not a good player, i even let them score some buckets to make it a bit more realistic. I feel like it wasnt this way when i first bought the game at launch. I find i will allow over 100 only if i play against a team with a true superstar and its because he scores over 50pts himself

This is on Superstar difficulty with the Raptors

Re: CPU Unable to play offense in MyNBA

Last year we was complaining about the CPU Defense
This year the CPU Offense is no longer challenging with some screws loose. It seems like most of the time CPU plays like Westbrook in the Lane on a dummy mission (contested shots) or hot potatoes with the shock clock running out in most positions on Hall of fame at that

I hope we could get the Czar to chime in about the AI Offense awareness issues

Re: CPU Unable to play offense in MyNBA

Ok so it's not just me. I was playing the blazers yesterday and i double team Lillard for the first couple possessions, he missed his first few shots because the CPU doesnt run any play anyway. He then got cold and that was it for that game.

I find ill get decent scores if and only if the CPU's superstar can get hot, if he gets cold it's just hopeless.

Don't get me wrong i do enjoy playing offense, i think the CPU defense is ok for the most part. But man playing on defense is super boring. They barely try to get by me. They will just dribble into me trying to magically make their way to the rim and get blocked. There are some games that the offense just flows while other game it's like playing against a brain dead AI.

I'm wondering if it's a MyNBA issue only with the game trying to simulate hot/cold teams and high and low scoring games to mix it up a bit.

Re: CPU Unable to play offense in MyNBA

Update on this.

Playing the against the pistons in play now mode on superstar and they are playing so much better... Fast pace offense, running plays one after another if it fails.. much better shooting%. Could just be a coincidence but im starting to believe there is something in MYNBA making the CPU play like ****.

Even their defense seems to be sharper.. am i crazy??

Another weird thing just happened, fred vanvleet missed a free throw. This is using real ft%. In MYNBA season he has yet to miss a free throw. Hes been perfect for the entire season lol.

This could of course just be 1 game but i feel it plays so much better than it does in MYnba..

Re: CPU Unable to play offense in MyNBA

Ok played the blazzers too in playnow and they were also playing much better. So i went back into mnba and made sure all my sliders were on default superstar. I had FT difficulty at 100 so i put that back to 50. Im now having a much better game and im also now missing free throws in Mynba.

Was this game miraculously patched overnight or is any slight slider modification breaking this game. Or am i simply losing my mind with this stupid game LOL

Re: CPU Unable to play offense in MyNBA

Turn CPU offensive awareness to 100, backdoor cuts to 55, take 3 point shots 60, while being playing on HOF.

Its challenging at times. sometimes it felt like a real user. CPU curry dropped 57 on me with 13 threes

This. You absolutely cannot go into this game without editing the sliders (and if you're like me player tendencies) to suit your opinion on what a fun basketball game to be.


The default sliders and tendencies are nonsensical and don't have a lot of nuance/thought behind them

Re: CPU Unable to play offense in MyNBA

Ok i will give this a go. I had a couple good games in a row against the CPU then it went right back to the CPU forgetting how to play.

Another thing, is the CPU programmed to keep the game close? I noticed the CPU struggling to run offense when i am also struggling to score(poor timing etc). Then if i go on a run the CPU starts to score again. The good games i had i was also playing very good offense...

Re: CPU Unable to play offense in MyNBA

CPU got insanely inconsistent after the patch. I have them at high sliders and I just played a game where they shot 28% FG for the game. The game before they shot 64% from 3 and wouldn’t miss.

I have them just about right defensively but offensively they’re either way off or on fire. Sliders work for some games then turn out to be way off in others.

I guess adjusting shooting sliders and offensive awareness etc. sliders is next if their offenses continue to stink.

Re: CPU Unable to play offense in MyNBA

Exactly this. One game they run offense and flow and the next they keep dribbling right up to the defender and take a heavily contested shots. Its like they dont even try to dribble by the defender to create offense. It's incredibly infuriating

Re: CPU Unable to play offense in MyNBA

Tried 100 cpu awareness 60 take 3 and 55 backcut and the celtics still couldnt run any kind of offense. They can't seem to run a play decently or by a defender. They ended up scoring 56pts on 21% and most of their points came on offensive put backs.

What do you have defensive settings at? You might need to jack up CPU defense sliders in order to make scoring harder for you. The game works on momentum so if you go cold often they’ll go hot.

I pushed CPU on ball/defense consistency and awareness, lateral quickness to 90+ and they got harder to score on. Then I put close shot/layup defensive strength/help D strength at 60 (for both sides) and making jump shots became very hard (I don’t know why but those sliders definitely affected my ability to make contested shots even though I tried lowering jump shot defensive strength sliders down to 10 to compensate) which meant winning games became much harder. It wasn’t all that fun being unable to shoot but it became challenging.

I changed those defensive sliders I had at 90+ to 80 and I changed the defensive strength sliders all back to 50 for both sides, except jump shot strength at 25 (my original settings) and played one game and blew the other team out as they couldn’t make any shots. Your ability to score affects their ability to score.

Try taking midrange shots at 52

Taking 3 pointers at 54

Attack the basketball at 48

Offense awareness at 100

Offense consistency 98

Look for post players 52

Take post shots 52

Try these sliders on Hall of fame
