Update: August 21 - 2k Default Roster Slider Set *BETA*
This update provides lower field goal percentages as well as a more varied offense from the CPU (more jumpshots and fewer PiP, YAY!). These tendencies still need further tweaking (as do the new defensive sliders), but my hope is that they provide a better gaming experience than the previous sliders.
Important Changes
Shot Success Sliders
Defense Strength Sliders
AI Tendencies
Goals for Future Updates
- Further improve defensive rotations and reactions
- Fine-tune the CPU offensive tendencies
- Experiment with the Strength attribute, which will drastically impact the effects of the "Offense" and "Defense" sliders
- Overhaul the Game Speed setting (to increase the speed of animations and ball-movement); Tweak the Quickness/Speed sliders accordingly

Any feedback is very much appreciated, as any help I can get expedites the fine-tuning process. However, be sure to keep the criticism as constructive and informative as possible. Try to point out what you are seeing too much of (ex. The AI attacks the basket too often), what you're not seeing enough of (ex. The AI does not go to the post often enough), etc.
Here's a simple resource I made to help depict what exactly "realistic stats" should look like:
NBA Stats to Replicate with Sliders (Update coming soon!)
Feel free to give my thread 5 stars and "like" this post if you enjoy my set. It shows others that these are quality sliders, and it makes me feel a little warm inside, too.
Enjoy!
