SimWorld presents: NBA2K19 "The MyLeague Experience" (X1)

Finding it quite hard to have team records matching real life records. For the most part it's fine but there's a few that I can't get enough wins for (at the trade deadline Orlando has the worst record in the NBA 12-42).

Any tips beyond just following the chronology 100% accurately?

Also, where is the slider to adjust a coaches preference for offense-defense/guards-forwards and inside-outside? I can only see young-old on the gameplan screen.

I started paying attention to team records in december of my chronology. What I did was turn off auto safe and then sim the same day multiple times until I got results I wanted. I was able to get correct playoff seedings this way. But I think all star break is a bit late to start this.

The other staff stuff is when you go in and edit staff. It should all be set correctly though.

That's a good idea. I might have to start over and make sure I create a different save at the end of each month or something similar.

Yep looks good to me thanks!

May as well get another question out there. Is there any way around the Stepien rule when trying to trade draft picks? Some of the picks mentioned in the chronology cannot be traded. For instance the Porzingis trade I was unable to select the Mavs 2021 1st because their 2020 1st has been traded already with some protection.

You can turn off the Stepien rule while simming. I actually thought it already was when using the sim-to-day sliders. But just turn off rule in MyLeague setting.

You're probably better off turning the Stepien rule off. As long as your approving/vetoing all trades you can do it manually. Plus it doesn't always work correctly, for example assuming the team has its 2019 1st you can trade it and the next couple of years 1st rounders in one trade without the Stepien rule blocking it like it should.

Don't want to go through it all again

Is it me or lights look terrible in created arenas too? Damn 2k..

Layup Defense Strength Takeoff & Release are 50-60 on the SimWorld sliders and 60-55 on Yak's sliders. Does this have anything to do with fouls? Or is it in relation to other modifications? Help defense was changed to 17, what are the differences from having it at 75-80? Lastly, defensive and offensive awareness, at 41-83 or 35-75/80, is this about turnovers and kickouts? I have been using both the roster and the sliders since the release, and I'm having a lot of fun with it, so I wanted to ask what the changes do before I dare touch anything in MyLeague. Thank you so much for all of your hard work.

It takes at least a few games to be able to judge whether a slider set needs changes. If you're using the earlier SimWorld sliders and enjoy the experience, then I'd keep playing with them exactly as-is.

My preference is for layup defense to count more on the gather than at release. That explains the small difference there although it's not enough of a difference to change if you're liking what you see already.

I'm not sure what changes were made to Ronyell's slider set recently so I'll defer to him. If you like how the game is playing already though, then don't change anything until you see issues that ruin the experience for you.
