Superstars are too OP in 2K25

[tcnumba10]

Anyone find that when playing the CPU that their star players are too OP and take way too many shots while their “role-players” rarely take any?

The default 2K rosters is catering to the casual players as they only watch highlights of their favorite superstars put up big numbers on highlight reels.

I’m trying to edit the roster to get the roleplayers more involved scoring wise but I can’t seem to change that the superstars are too OP. Is it hardcoded?

Remove all the Badges on All Players. Then start making edits to Player Tendencies.

Will try this, I’ve only edited Touches tendency and it did not affect anything. I even tests Kyrie and Luka’s touches tendencies to single digits while raising Washington’s to 60 and plays are still run through Kyrie and Luka as they put up tons of shots

I don't have 2k25 but did you try the coach profiles? Knowing 2k it's probably on "Play Through Stars". Change it to Neutral and it should work better (if they didn't change the coding)

I’m testing vigorously against the Dallas Mavericks and their Coach Profile is already set to Neutral. Editing the Touches tendencies didn’t do anything so hopefully removing all the badges will solve it when I try it.

Check play discipline and dish to open man. Or you could lower their iso tendencies

Have you tried adjusting your defense to focus on the player that's eating you up?
Try sending doubles and shading off.
Not saying you're wrong but have you tried everything that a real coach would try if one player on the other team was taking all the shots?

Will be testing out these tendencies and see if it actually makes a difference
