After watching a few videos on Da Czar, I started to really understand how sliders work. I think I made a pretty good set for myself that replicates 1990s-style NBA. My biggest petpeeve with this game was Points in the Paint, and how ridiculously easy it was. I scored 76 PIP one game.
NBA 2K21 demo felt the same, so I am sticking it out with 2K20. I wanted to share with a box score of my most recent game, summarize my experience and my Simulation sliders.

Midrange Success: 47 (User) / 53 (CPU) *
Da Czar personally uses 47 a lot so that is my baseline difficulty modifier. I reversed it for the CPU to create my own difficulty between Superstar/HOF

Fatigue Rate: 57 *
If you're killing it with a superstar: increase! -- I put mine at 57 to force me to run plays and not solely depend on Kyrie's ability. I have KD for help so he doesn't need to shoulder the load. Nice little element of strategy for the game. LeBron couldn't lead the Lakers without Anthony Davis for a reason.

MOVEMENT All I did here was increase without Ball by 10, making it a little tougher for the blow-bys. They will happen and if you find yourself consistently getting to the rim more often than not, increase the Fatigue Rate slider so that player exerts energy faster.
