    Pretty much what I settled on, but think height is 8 for me.

    And the 80's filter is grainy, but I love it and brings me back to my childhood. Magic Johnson is my all-time favorite player so I'm revisiting the Showtime-era and loving it.

      A&S threads are simply the best.

      That being said, anybody know why my controller settings need to be reentered every single time I start up the game? This is the second year in a row this is happening to me. I feel like I am missing something obvious.

        So per the usual the thread us deep and looks good however I'm extremely confused on somethings...

        Number 1 I'm on Xbox as I'm still waiting on a ps5.

        With that said, it looks like to run this accurately you say to use clutches or mjs roster which obviously is not on Xbox, so per your slider entry is this viable to run with any classic roster or are your settings tied specifically to those rosters?

        2. You have to dates the 1st saying Magic/Bird & Jordan Era Pro Simulation Settings V1 9/21/2022

        Then one scrolling down a bit in the page saying...Jordan Era Gameplay Slider Adjustments V1 9/26/2022

        So I'd prolly say the latest date is the newest but it does not include the magic/bird Era?

        I've inputed your settings for madden, and mlb the show, but these I'm confused on.

        She'd some light for an old man on these?
        I stream a variety of video games for relaxation and fun.

          So….you can use stock rosters….makes
          no difference.

          As far as the sliders. There are two sets. One is for the Magic/Bird Era the the adjustments for The Jordan Era are posted below that set. Those are the only changes to make to the Bird/Magic Era set to play the Jordan Era.

          DJ- I use 8 height now as well and key zoom is off (it’s reversed).

          As far as controller settings they freaking reset every time you **** down the game. Utter PITA and I don’t understand why they can’t fix that. Also it resets the 2K Beats which really grinds my gears because I shut off most of the songs.

          I hope they can fix that. But the fact they have not by now makes me think it is what it is. Oh well.

          This game is the absolute GOAT!!!

          I have been streaming both my Showtime Lakers and Jordan Era Blazers franchises on Twitch.

          Also I shut off the salary cap for both franchises. I was seeing guys like Barkley sitting in free agency…..that simply can’t happen.

          So no holds barred….and who cares. It’s my universe.

            Man this game has its hooks in me. Playing as the Sixers as Dr J is my favorite player of all time. Just played Detroit and had them beat. Up by 2 with 6 sec left and Isaiah Thomas drives down the court through the lane and hits a crazy shot and gets fouled.

            He made the free throw and I ended up losing by 1. What a game. They are 17-1 and lead the East. So much fun. Game is amazing

                    Absolutely. Guy was a beast. The whole team was nasty. Ralph Sampson put up 51 on me the other day. I had no answer for him. So many great players from that era. I haven’t even played the Lakers yet. Lol The Celtics are a tough matchup too.

                      I have not tested them for the modern era yet. Not sure I will as I have zero interest in the modern NBA.

                      But go ahead and give the 90’s set a shot.

                        Hey man.

                        So, I can't speak on behalf of the player lock style.

                        BUT

                        I've used these for 90s and 80s Era both online and offline.

                        But what I can say is these are a solid set of BALANCED sliders. I made some tweaks and I use shot timing for user preference. But I enjoy these alot.

                        I've used some other sliders - pop boy, schnaidt, essentric - each have their pros and cons. But I could never finish a game. Teams were shooting 60-70%. And I was down 15-20 before I knew what hit me. Frustration hits and I question why I turned the game on.

                        These feel different. They say Average Joe. I would say I'm SLIGHTLY above that level with my 2k experience (I start on all star then upload the sliders) but these allow me to just relax and play basketball. I'm not super stressed trying to play perfect. Or looking for cheese. I know that good defense matters, smart offense matters. The games play out great.

                        I just played a modern Era game with these to test.

                        Wolves vs Cavs

                        I won by 4. Battled back from a 12 point deficit. Even with user timing I only shot 42%. I like to take "questionable" shots cuz I know those shots happen in real life. (Goes back to the relaxing and having fun part from above).

                        You could tweak shooting to make more shots. I have a few tweaks of my own.

                        I only played 7 min qtrs. But I found it an enjoyable experience. And I think these are Def worth a shot regardless of Era.


                        I can always stream sometime if you want to see them in action.


                        Credit to the game 2k put out. And for Armour's dedication to push the game further.

                          Question: the era rosters - there's no way to just grab those rosters and use them in a "play now" / exhibition mode, correct?

                          I don't want to jump into a season or anything like that. I just like random matchups and games I can just pick and play from any era. But I might be stupid - that can't be done? Thanks!!

                          (And I've been so busy I haven't touched my PS5 in weeks - I'm coaching basketball at my HS as an assistant, I'm the lead Middle School coach, and I also do a lot of scouting trips - so I'm just never home, and when I am - 7 hours in the gym each day is exhausting).

                            Welcome to life as a coach. I’ve been a middle school basketball coach for about 8 years now. It’s crazy how many hours a week I’m coaching.

                              Yeah MK no way to use Era rosters in play now. However there are tons of great stock classic teams you can do that with and someone also made a thread in the roster section (OS user name Fidel1978) that made 60 classic teams plus the stock ones and you can use that for what you like to do!!

                              Good luck on your coaching journey. Mine ended in Fall 2020 (baseball) after 15 plus years (it was time to focus on my own sons college baseball pursuit). Was a fantastic experience.

                                But what I can say is these are a solid set of BALANCED sliders. I made some tweaks and I use shot timing for user preference. But I enjoy these alot.

                                I've used some other sliders - pop boy, schnaidt, essentric - each have their pros and cons. But I could never finish a game. Teams were shooting 60-70%. And I was down 15-20 before I knew what hit me. Frustration hits and I question why I turned the game on.

                                These feel different. They say Average Joe. I would say I'm SLIGHTLY above that level with my 2k experience (I start on all star then upload the sliders) but these allow me to just relax and play basketball. I'm not super stressed trying to play perfect. Or looking for cheese. I know that good defense matters, smart offense matters. The games play out great.

                                I just played a modern Era game with these to test.

                                Wolves vs Cavs

                                I won by 4. Battled back from a 12 point deficit. Even with user timing I only shot 42%. I like to take "questionable" shots cuz I know those shots happen in real life. (Goes back to the relaxing and having fun part from above).

                                You could tweak shooting to make more shots. I have a few tweaks of my own.

                                I only played 7 min qtrs. But I found it an enjoyable experience. And I think these are Def worth a shot regardless of Era.


                                I can always stream sometime if you want to see them in action.

                                You hit the nail on the head. I totally tried those other sliders and was best bad. Lost 14 games in a row. I have tried 2 games with Armor and split the games. I like them and will continue.
