Why? There's a community of players that believe the gameplay mechanics can/should be more accurately representative of what is NBA basketball.

I. Changing the Game
The quickest way to a simulation setup is by downloading a good set of rosters and sliders.
Rosters
Rosters can be downloaded from Play Now -> Quick Play, prior to starting a Season, Playoffs, Unranked MyGM, MyLeague or MyLeague Online. Many roster makers also have a slider set that it is built with their changes in mind.

Sliders
Sliders are easier to edit manually and thus are more transferable cross-platform. These are generally built to account for the default 2K20 roster. Some are built with Real FG% in mind, while others are more for Shot Timing. Each one is built for different styles of game play but OS sliders are usually built with simulation basketball in mind. A few sets for different base difficulties:

II. Finding Players Online
Typically, online sim players join MyLeague Online which allows for custom rosters and sliders. Prior to the introduction of online sliders, leagues used house rules (limited Points in the Paint, 100% on-ball defense, players able to play listed positions only, etc.) to enforce a simulation style of basketball. This practice has continued to most current simulation-style leagues. Leagues can be found in the following places:
