I've been trying really hard to figure out how to switch on certain hot zones for players in NBA 2K15 but am not sure what type of data to look for. I admit my knowledge of finding addresses is somewhat limited to basic 2/4 byte scans but I've done the tutorial and scoured the internet for help and still have no idea.

I found out the best way to quickly toggle hot zones to on/off is to just do a Freestyle session with a team and swap out players (NBA Today > 2KU > Freestyle). I tried just looking for the spot right under the basket by doing unknown initial value at 4 bytes, then doing increased/decreased value scans based on if they're neutral, hot or cold. I narrowed it down to 3 at the end but they ended up changing on me when I was just standing there and couldn't have been right.

Would someone please suggest a data type to search for or maybe give some insight on what else I might try to find these addresses? It's frustrating having to grind them out and it'd make the game more fun if I could skip that grind so thanks in advance.

Maybe it's a float value that increases when you make a shot and decreases when you miss.
Possibly starts at 0.0. When you reach 1.0 it's a hot spot. Negative 1.0, cold spot.

Or each spot has a total baskets and a total misses counter (4-byte).
Depending on score:miss ratio, it becomes hot/cold spot.

Probably not an on/off.

By the way, no where in the 107 pages has this been found?

I found some addresses that seem to change only when I shoot from certain spots but unfortunately you can't see hot zones in game and when I get back to the between game shoot around session to see the hot zones the values change to ???. When you "find out what writes to this address" the game crashes, must have some anti-debugger going.

Would someone good with CE be interested in trying? I'm sure there's a free version on TPB if you don't have it, might be a nice challenge Smile

Have you tried modifying those found values to something huge in order to see if they did unlocked hot zones?

Another thing to note, the game may not calculate new hot zones until after the round is over anyway.
Ex: Total baskets in this zone > 30? Unlock hot zone for next game!

Try using VEH Debugger instead.

Yea, I was surprised no one's actually hacked it yet.
Then I noticed: 37.2 GB + 4 GB patch. Pass. Smile

Maybe now would be a good time for me to learn how to use CE's network features and hack your game remotely. Smile
