I was wondering the same. These are great sliders, just need a new roster set.

I'm on XBOX One but can confirm that 2K's official rosters work well with these sliders.

I'm about 3/4 of the way through a game with these and all I can say is WOW! Anybody else using the SimWorld roster with these?

I'm coming from the SimWorld sliders on Superstar which were way too hard for me. No matter who I played against and how well I played, I would always lose by 15+ (playing as the Pistons). With these sliders being easier, I find myself trying more and harder moves instead of the same (more successful) ones over and over, which makes the game so much more entertaining!

I'll report back after I finish a few games this week, but I'm absolutely loving these so far. Thanks for the great work!

Been playing with these for about 15 games or so. I am liking them, however, two issues I'm seeing are the inability to score from midrange to 3pt. Granted I am using Charlotte in MyLeague, but even so, it's rare that I hit a midrange jumper or longer. In 7 games so far, I'm averaging about 30% shooting. even in NBA Today games with various teams, buckets dont fall that much unless it's in the paint or driving to the hoop, which brings me to my next thing....fouls, which are plentiful, on both sides. I'm not throwing off on the sliders, I really like them. I'm just curious if anyone else had these issues and what changes they made, so I can continue using these. CPU scoring seems to be on point, but I'm assuming I need to raise USER midrange and 3pt a notch or two, and decrease fouls some. I just find it odd that no one else seems to really say anything about these two things when it's so prevalent for me.

Anyways, great job on the sliders. With a few minor adjustments on my end, they'll be dang near perfect for my skill level.

Fouls are touchy. They are really tough to make universal as everyone plays different. If you an aggressive player and bang in the post and drive a lot...you will see a lot more trips to the line. So depending on your play style you may want to tweak down fouls in 5 click steps per slider to find your sweet spot.

As far as shooting...depends on your team, players and ratings. So if your team is struggling too much in comparison to what your seeing IRL...click up your mid-range and 3pt slider one to to clicks and go from there.

this is true, but I was regularly missing open midrange jumpers with Kemba, Stephenson, Henderson, etc. I get that shooting isnt the teams strongest asset, but they are pros...they should be able to knock down some jumpers.

yeah, the only foul that seemed a bit too high for me was both USER and CPU shooting fouls, so I decreased each one by 5 clicks. Ive played two games since and it seemed more in line, but I think I may raise them 1 or 2 clicks to find the sweet spot. I try to be aggressive driving and in the paint since Im playing with the Hornets, but before I made the adjustments, I was getting fouled almost every time I went in the lane. I was getting in the bonus almost every quarter, and the game would see 3 or 4 players foul out a game

As far as shooting...depends on your team, players and ratings. So if your team is struggling too much in comparison to what your seeing IRL...click up your mid-range and 3pt slider one to to clicks and go from there.

I bumped up all shooting sliders for USER 1 click. Ive played 2 games with them and it's extremely close to the sweet spot I think, at least for me and my team. However, I'm still losing more than winning because I'm kinda bad at defense, but that's on me.

Re: Armor & Swords NBA 2K15 Pro/Sim/Real FG/FT% "Average Joe" Sliders

Hello Hoops fans!

It's been a long time since I created a slider set for 2K Basketball. 2K11 was the last game I had a set as it was the only version I have ever truly played. I am never going to claim I am a great 2K b-ball master. In fact that is why I am calling this set an "Average Joe" set. So what does that mean you ask? Well let me tell ya. I boost the human player sliders ever so slightly because the CPU gives me a superb challenge on Pro/Sim/Default. So much so I need to tweak some of my own shooting sliders and attribute sliders to compensate so I can have fun, competitive games and play season after season after season...just like I did on 2K11 (4 full 82 game seasons in fact with my beloved Miami Heat).

Things I hope this set will bring to you are:

1. Balanced and diverse game-play from the CPU

2. Fun, Fun, Fun!!!!

3. Fouls at a realistic clip

4. Realistic shooting percentages, rebounds, turnovers, and scores/stats

I will tell you that the game is deep, and it has such a huge and diverse way to game plan for every single team in the league. I simply suggest before you play each team for the first time in your season schedule use the coaching game plan feature to set your POE's and then change them in game as needed. Player development is deep and pretty awesome. Individual match-ups are critical to adjust and adapt to what is going on in the game. So you need to be able to make these coaching adjustments accordingly or you will lose a lot. I can also tell you I use the play book to it's fullest and call a lot of sets as well as run free flow and quick plays.

So most importantly.....I am not looking to tweak and twist the knobs very much as I can already tell ya...the game plays pretty incredible near default. You will see the major tweaks I made are to fouls, offensive rebounds and box out assistance (thanks to Wolf for those settings). Some human shooting sliders and attributes....and that is pretty much it.


These sliders are designed for those that have a real coaching/adjustment mentality. The coaching options 2K has given us are second to none. Truly awesome.


If you try to just iso and improvise and not run set plays.....you will be roasted.

If you have a CPU player on a run and you don't adjust his individual defensive settings....you will be roasted.

I played my first game of MyLeague vs the Wizards and Wall and Nene were killing me (I am the Heat of course) I switched up Bosh for McRoberts, and had Birdman play some extended minutes in the 4th quarter...and Bosh shut him down. I had Wall doubled at the perimeter and had smother on off ball....I finally slowed him down and was able to eek out a 96-93 win at home after being behind as much as 9 in the 4th quarter.

It's all about making adjustments and trying to regain the tempo you want. Also as always basketball is a game of match-ups. Once you recognize the CPU's attempts at exploiting their advantage in any particular match-up the better chance you have at victory.

Now sometimes you can make all the adjustments you want...but if your shooting cold and your simply over matched....well...that's basketball. Sometimes you will get lucky and get hot and the CPU goes cold.

No two games are going to play alike on 2K15....it's a thing of beauty. Couple that with a set of sliders that fit your particular stick skills and you are in sports video game heaven.

Anyway.....I am still working through this set and I am sure within 2-3 weeks we will be pretty much set in the values I want to get the kind of game I like to play. It is a matter of does your skill level and approach match or is similar to mine.

And then tweak from there.


I have very little doubt these will be too easy for a lot of veterans of this series who have far better stick skills and a better working knowledge of basketball than me.

This set is specifically designed for specific type of niche player of the 2K series. A casual player who wants a sim experience without feeling helpless.

Hard does not equal fun. I want balance. I want to beat teams I should, lose ocassionally to teams I should not, get beat by better teams, and also pull off some upsets.

The key word's for my slider approach are balance, fun, but realistic stat's and feel. What you see on TV....is the best way I can put it.

So if it is too easy and by that I mean your just a god and blowing out teams on a nightly basis after say 10-12 games.....it's ok...move on to a tougher set.

Pro/Sim/default was too hard for me. That's why I created these off that base.

I will post the "MyLeague" settings I am using as well...but please keep in mind this is my first 2K since 2K11 and the MyLeague settings will be an ongoing work in progress through my first season to see how things go. There is just so much customization available to us.

I am using Timsmooths Official 2K15 roster and highly recommend them in conjunction with these sliders for the ultimate MyLeague/MyGm simulation experience!

Re: Armor & Swords NBA 2K15 Pro/Sim/Real FG/FT% "Average Joe" Sliders

He constantly updates the roster to reflect today's NBA...so no. I still highly recommend you use it though. IMO the best one around for the PS4.

i update the game everyday rotations are daily tendencies and attributes are monthly as the season progresses the rating change so it makes the games dynamic like a hot and cold streak and you can play up to superstar or hall of fame and get realistic stats with my base and his sliders

I honestly did not realize you update that often. I used your roster when they first came out and am still in my season with them. I will have to try your updated ones then. Guess I have to start a new francise!
