After a lot of testing and basing a lot of sliders that this community has provided, including the work from PuntNL who should get a special mention for his efforts and testing, I believe for those who are playing on the allstar difficulty at 12 min quarters, these sliders could possibly be the ones your looking for. But before you all blindly just changed your sliders, there a few things that need to be done that this community has already highlighted. There is a lot of work in involved, but its worth it. I am just here to add my 2 cents to the game and finally contribute after reading these forums for the last 3 years.

2<SUP>nd</SUP> Make sure coaches playbooks reflect their teams, with significantly less shooting off screen plays listed.
3<SUP>rd</SUP>. Change the following in coaching profiles.
· Offensive tempo must been increased across the board. 40 should be the lowest. Set to what you want just make sure the scale is significantly higher. I’ll explain later. It also helps with sim stats.
· Increase fastbreaks much much higher that expected. Between 60 and 100, with 50 being the lowest. That was the Bobcats, but I’ll have to change them from that now. Remember to scale it up
· Crashboards all at 100 for every team. I’ll explain later.
· Runplays all at 100. This slows the game down a bit as teams run a full play until they succeed or it breaks down.
· Lower the scale of all coaches shooting tendencies by a large margin. Including attack basket and look for post players. All shoot tendencies should be in the 30s for most teams, there are exceptions. Eg Magic mid range at 20 but 3pt at 50. Less aggressive teams should have attack basket in lows 10’s like the Twolves and bucks. With 40 being the max, as set for Thunder. Everything else between 20 and 35. Look for post up players is a mix bag. They should be set higher than your shooting tendencies, between 40 and 65.

Dunking/passing/alley oops is still in the air, but I happy with it so far. You might want to change your passing 1 or 2 either side. I’ve missed some dunks the last few games so I raised dunking up a tad to that level.

I am still not sure on the contact, I think PuntNL has his at 70, which works fine. I just wanted more fouls and so I increased it a bit more.

Now as for the help D. This will provide more spacing in ball reversals. You will find more time to shoot if you work your passing around, which isn’t easy as passing is far less accurate this year. You can still drive and kick but its less overkill and you will need to at least work at it. Someone else in this community had theirs at 0, which was interesting, but in my opinion was over kill. 20 seems right. Give it a go.

Quickness set a 0 which makes the game looks smoother. There is still plenty of pace from the players. Vertical I am not sure about, but it feels right at the moment. Keep in mind that vertical effects blocking and dunking. So if you muck around with it, you need to change the scale in other attributes.
<o></o>
On ball D is set in the 90’s with 93 feeling right. You will need to work on breaking down your defenders and look at mismatches more. You can still beat big men with guards if you know what you’re doing. Yeah you get a little bit of bumping that people don’t like, but having strength at 40 makes it little less frequent. Also, I am on the opinion that I rather have a built in animation than just blowing pass anyone with anyone. There is no point lowering on ball D, because that’s the whole point having it high and held D low.
<o></o>
Reb needs to be set at this until there is a patch fix. With crash boards up and fastbreaks up as well, there will be more offensive rebs, and it’s not the guards who are getting them also.

Fatigue and stamina here is perfect for 12 min quarters. Things like Clutch, consistency, durability and injuries can be changed to your liking.

Along with coaching profiles, as you can see all shooting tendencies are low in scale. As stated above, offensive tempo is high. Teams will push the ball, and you will need to sprint back on D. Just like the real game. But because the tendencies are low, teams will be more reluctant to jack up half open mid range jumpers by players that shouldn’t be taking those shots. When the shooting tendencies are at the standard 50, there are more of these shots, which equals to more rebs. And depending on what teams you play, you will often get 90-110 shots a game with tendencies at 50. So make sure your coaching profiles are also low in scale, and you will get fga between 70 and 90.
<o></o>
Put backs at 100 to help with offensive rebounding. It really doesn’t add much. But its better than nothing. Because my dunk ability in attributes is lower, there are very few big time putbacks. I see one put back dunk a game, which is probably one to many, but at least its not monstrous than previous 2k games. The offensive reb is not perfect but you can get about <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" /><st1:time Hour="11" Minute="52">8 to 12</st1:time> a game. What this game needs is tap outs, which would help the game speed so much more.
<o></o>
Commit fouls at 100 is a must, or you will never get into any type of foul trouble. I avg 14 fouls a game, and as you can see fouls attributes is high.
<o></o>
Ive lowered the passing lanes to help the drive and kick better. Remember help D is low in scale, so if your passing lanes are too high, you will be picked off, which beats the point.
<o></o>
Contest shots, I am not sure about. I don’t get many blocks, but I think its got more to do with the fact that the game sometimes registers a block as steal.
<o></o>
Anyway, this is just a draft thats been work on since launch, but I am happy with where it’s at. To those who give this a go, I hope you enjoy it. Play with it for a few games, as the game is slightly different with these sliders. Take pictures and show the community. It’s a lot of work, but its well worth it.
