Player speed threshold

I wanted to ask this but wasn't sure where to post. Is there a speed threshold (similar to madden) slider that can be adjusted for 2K? To my knowledge there isn't but I was hoping someone here could maybe point me in the direction of some custom sliders that represent player speed differences better than the default.

This is the least I've ever played any 2K game because I've felt the game play lacking in many areas for the first time in a long time from this franchise. And one of my biggest complaints has been player speed and how slower players can still catch faster ones. Fast breaks are almost non existent, almost any player can stop you on the drive because the defender gets a speed butst and/or a forced animation that makes you bump into them, and there is always a massive delay on catching the ball (cannot catch in stride) and when pressing the turbo button.

For an example, just fired up the game tonight and was playing with the 2000's Cavs and Celtics squads. Pierce picked up two fouls early and Scalabrine of all people was brought in to be matchup up with LeBron. 3 or 4 times a what should have been a fast break or blow by Scalabrine was basically speed boosted ahead of LeBron.

It's just an annoyance. Sometimes it feels like I've completely turned the shoulder past the defender and it will still suck me back and allow the defender back in front of me. Maybe it doesn't look so bad with other camera views, but from the 2K cam behind the player's view it looks as if I'm completely past people and forced to be pulled back rather than continue.

I realize why 2K did this, all the turbo spamming and players weaving in and out of everyone on the beaks. But honestly the occasional weaving seems like real basketball to me, much more in comparison to this. It's like when Westbrook or LeBron has the ball and the players turning aren't quick enough to stop them when they get a head of steam. Seems almost nonexistent in this game. And I don't play online, so the whole "spamming" thing doesn't really effect me at all.

I just want a close to sim experience, a more realistic speed discrepancy. Anyone have any suggestions at all.? Hopefully 2k18 is a complete overhaul in this regard, but in the meantime I would like a fix.
