Which sliders to change to increase fast breaks?

[Falcon17000]

I know I sound like a broken radio with wanting fast breaks to be a viable source of points in 2K23, but I loved the 7 seconds Suns.



What would be good slider modifications to make fast breaks at least a little bit more viable? I know sliders can't fix defenders getting a speed boost down the court or stealing players suddenly losing all momentum, but anything would help.

Increasing Game Speed to at least 56 (I use 60) helps a lot. Also increasing acceleration (I use 60), and movement Sliders (Taken from Shady Mike Gaming). I really wanted there to be a difference between slower players and faster players.

Speed W/Ball Max: 75
Speed W/Ball Min: 45

Acceleration W/Ball: 75
Acceleration W/Ball: 45

Speed W/O Ball: 69
Speed W/O Ball: 34

Acceleration W/O Ball: 69
Acceleration W/O Ball: 34

What about CPU defensive awareness? Does it affect fast break awareness?

i noticed increasing speed allows fast players to strive on the fast break (granted if the cpu doesn't run back). i've only experimented with user speed and it's so pleasing to watch

Now if we could only find a way to improve one on one defender blow bys. The cpu defense basically mirrors the ball handler no matter who the defender and the offensive player is.

Body Up Sensitivity. Set it to 25 or lower, with lower values causing more blow-bys.

Also decrease the CPU Accel/Speed/Strength sliders based on whatever difficulty level you play at. I’m using Superstar difficulty and set the CPU 5 ticks lower for each of the three sliders. On mobile now but I’ll link the post depicting how different attributes used to be boosted at different difficulty levels. Not a guarantee these variances are still the exact same, but there is a decent chance they are IMO.

Will have to try this. I decreased body up Sensitivity down to 10 and I still don't see many blow by's, even with fast point guards vs slow big men.

Yea, try dropping the CPU Speed/Accel/Strength attributes by about 5 and you should see a massive difference. Especially with Body Up Sensitivity at 10. In my current testing, even at 25 it can be too easy to shake a defender and attack the paint. At 10, the defenders were basically turnstyles (except for the likes of Kawhi, of course).

If all else fails, feel free to drop Lateral Quickness as well. It doesn't affect side-to-side movement like in years past, but it is almost certainly still used in the "blow-by equation" when there's contact on the perimeter.

Re: Which sliders to change to increase fast breaks?

I find increasing steals/turnovers is the way to increase fast breaks. Lower ball security, increase hands, passing lanes, steal success, reach for steals tendency, etc.


Also, when you have the ball in transition, holding down triangle/Y button will trigger your teammate to cut straight to the basket - this will sometimes make him speed past others to get open for the outlet pass and fast break finish.


Ultimately, good defense will help force turnovers and bad shots - which causes long rebounds - which results in more fast break opportunities.




EDIT: forgot to mention, increase pass speed.

Re: Which sliders to change to increase fast breaks?

Maybe a dumb question or I'm just now noticing. Did the devs remove the slider for speed and acceleration with the ball setting under the movement sliders?

I was about to ask the same question
And it looks like they did
Idk why

Acceleration controls acceleration with and without the ball, so that makes sense they removed the slider. Speed with Ball slider has been broken for years, so it seems they just removed it instead of fixing it [emoji23]
