So here it is. I have had a lot of fun with these sliders while still producing a more realistic stat point of view. I played 50+ games on 6 minute quarters testing and editing the sliders as I went. Feel free to try them out and give info on your success with them and if you notice anything that needs to be improved. Reason for user shooting success lower than most is because shooting is really easy in 2K15. In previous titles, I would not have shot success this low all around, but with how easy the "default" slider is, I think these sliders are more "real". If I were to raise it higher, user and CPU shot success would start to become more unrealistic and both teams would be making 50-60% in field goals every game. I feel like it has the perfect mix in all the shot success. Each game I average in the mid 40s in FG% while some lower and even higher. The same can be said for the CPU. Rebounding seems really good and the CPU is taking more 3 point shots but still not enough but this is because of the coach profiles being different for each team. Points in the paint are still a work in progress but there is some good improvement with these sliders. Fouls do not seem to be a problem anymore either.
MyLeague Full Sliders:
These are my slider settings. Tested multiple categories for hours and very pleased with my tests.
Okay so a few things i've noticed about MyLeague sliders are that some seem to be less effective and some are more effective on noticing a difference. For example, the injuries need to be bumped up a lot in order to get realistic amount injury frequencies that the actual league has. 50 is by no means even close. Also at first glance, you may not notice much difference in draft quality if you were 50 or 25. But, the truth is that 50 is really overpowered in rookies and I would not recommend it unless you would like to see an overload of superstars in your future years. With that being said at 25 draft quality, you will still find a good amount of good rated players and you will have plenty of opportunities to develop them (Offseason and In season training). CPU resign aggressiveness and Non financial ambitions factor seem about right when you combine these two with my setting. After year 1, Kevin Love and LeBron James made it to the playoffs that year and they both resigned for multi year contracts (4-5 years I think). On the other hand, I haven't seen much difference in Morale and Chemistry Difficulty and still need to do more testing on these. It seems the morale of all players seem to be good and that's not really how the league is in real life. I will update this as I go.
Update: I've noticed through multiple seasons the player progression slider seems broken. Players in their mid/late 20s will start to lose huge ratings in the off season progression. So for now, i'm just going to leave this at 50.
