We're finally done!!

-Realistic gameplay sliders
-Realistic sim stats
-Adjusted attributes and tendencies to reflect the NBA up to this point in the season
-Opening day rosters (I did include the Harden trade, as it happened early enough in the season)
-Sig shots from the operation sports thread, shadymike's recent edits, and I believe a few from 2krecreator, dabenjicode)
-I have my own sig edits for the entire Warriors team. I hope to make a video and post it in the sig thread here at some point. I also have their entire playbook included.
-Rotations for every team-Used Tynole14's rotations as a base and made my own adjustments based on this point in the season.
-Entire Gleague (shoutout to kreigs26 in the ATD discord for this) I edited their badges, attributes, and tendencies to reflect my changes.
-Tynole's created players (Wanamaker, Toppin, Nico Mannion). Check out his thread as well. We have a lot of the same ideas, we've gone about them in different ways. He's done an incredible job.

I plan on posting the full sliders for our Xbox users over the weekend. I'm just excited to finally play this game now

Something that I would strongly advise that I forgot to mention.

Make the following adjustments before every game for both your team and the team you're about to play.

Tendencies to increase:
Dish tendency-Plus 40
Fouls-plus 40
On ball steal-plus 10

And then right after the game, return the tendencies back for the other team so that you get realistic sim stats. I had to lower these values to get accurate sim stats, but making these increases before the team your about to face will make for better gameplay.

For guys like Harden, take a screenshot of his dish tendency, because when you decrease the dish tendency after the game, his tendency should be at 85, NOT 70.

What's up y'all.

First and foremost, I can only take so much credit for my ideas. I've learned so much from Eccentric, CelticLG, King Gro, Vannwolfhawk, DaCzar, Tynole14, Popboy, etc. I've only expanded on their ideas.

A little about myself:

Spoiler

I've watched 97% of every Warriors game for about 4-5 years (some games multiple times), so I use them every game that I've tested this year. I've edited all of their shots, tendencies, sigs, and I have almost every play that the Warriors have used this year or in the recent past. I'm very detailed with every sport I watch and I'm always comparing my video gaming experience to real life. I'm very obsessive with trying to get real life and my sports gaming to match up as realistically as possible. I've watched basketball my whole life, but I'm so invested in multiple sports (mostly a soccer fan at the moment) that I can't claim to be an expert in every aspect of basketball. Especially when it come to non-Warrior players/teams. There's also so many different approaches to 2K. So I'm all ears to critiques. Plus this is the first time I'm posting my own sliders publicly, even though I've always done them with every 2k to fit my own playing style (thank you for the inspiration Tynole14 with your post in your own thread).

This is CelticLG's roster. So all credit goes to him and everyone that helped with that project. I made my own changes to his roster to get a faster, more fouling, more turnover without so many steals, roster set. I also made my own personal tweaks to attributes here and there (Devin Booker having a 76 3pt rating was nauseating to see and that's coming from someone that thinks Devin Booker is annoying as hell lol).

Main changes I've made. Every player has a form of:

Spoiler

1. Deadeye badge for more "hands up, so what" situations. But I also want missed open jumpers, while still allowing for players to get extremely hot or cold. I also wanted the user input to really matter so that YOU really feel like you're getting hot and that outcomes aren't just random. (This is just done through my eye test of watching players, so it's not data based. If someone can point me to statistics that measures contested shot outcomes for players, I'd be thrilled to change these so that they're more accurate)
2. Downhill badges so that the CPU will push the tempo after misses or turnovers
3. Pick dodger. Players get caught up on screens to easily. This will help the pick and roll game defensively, but it will also create less wide open threes from off-ball screens.
4. Outlet passer. With the low pass accuracy, I want players to still be able to throw 3/4 court outlet passes

Additionally:
5. I've also added numerous lob city, deep threes (More to encourage the CPU to take deep threes) and circus three badges (I was seeing that step backs and relocate threes were too difficult to hit while testing in practice mode).
6. I also edited touches (stars taking 30+), shot tendencies and dish to open man.
7. Run play tendencies coach sliders and play discipline/drive tendencies to increase the pace of play.
8. Fouls, hard fouls, reach in, contest, block shots, charge tendencies increased.
9. Full Warriors playbook and sigs.

Mid-Range:74/76
3pt:57/72
Layup:51
Dunk in traffic freq:55
Dunk in traffic success:49
Pass Accuracy:1/0 -2k is too clean of a game. This helps create some slopiness and a few more non steal to's
Alley Oop:58
Contact Shot:52
Ball Security:0 -2k is too clean of a game. This helps create some slopiness and a few more non steal to's
Body up:1 This coupled with the lateral quickness settings allows for defenders to stay in front, but it also takes away from the suction of the drive game
Pass speed:45

Driving contact shot freq:85/95
inside contact shot:90/100
layup defense strength (takeoff):30
(release):40
Jump shot defense strength (gather):80
(Release):99 I'm wondering if I want to lower the JS strength settings again. On one hand, you see better contests and a few JS fouls here and there. But not enough contested shots go in for my liking. This is the closest I've gotten to when it comes to what you see in the NBA, however.
Help d:100

Off Consitency:100 Allows players to get super hot. But players can also get really cold. I went 0/9 with Steph for 3 in my second game of MyLeague. But I've also brought us back from huge deficits with hot 3pt shooting. Game of runs
Def Consitency:70 Players can get hot defensively too. Just not as significantly

Settings:

Spoiler

Camera: 2k (User Preference)
User timing for JS's and FT's
Quarter Length-12 minutes
Game Speed-I use 49 but this is mostly user preference from 47-52.
After basket camera cuts-Never (slows down pace of play when this is on)
Shot Meter-Off
Shot timing-Shots only
Defensive Assist-0
Boxout Assist-0
Ace: Offensive only (DaCzar talked about how this should be on something and not fully off. Not fully sure why but this is what I have for now.)

The pass target profile is huge! Popboy's settings here are essential. I use icon passing about 50 percent of the time, but I can almost always rely on the game knowing where I'm trying to pass the ball. With the increase in turnovers, you really need to learn how to pass the ball with these sliders.

Pass target direction-63
Distance-36
Openness-1

Some MUSTS before you play:

Spoiler

1. Add a second controller and switch both your and the cpu's help defense to 100
2. Switch every team stay attached "off"
3. Transition defense to "no threes"
4. System proficiency to either seven seconds or pace and space (I'm having more success with pace and space at the moment) unless it's the Knicks (Balanced)
5. Always have the hedge picks on either soft hedge, hard hedge or double (I have it on double for teams that play aggressively vs. Steph). Also switch hedge center to soft or catch (hard on deadly shooters like Steph, dame, unless you know the center never come out to defend the PnR i.e. set Vucevic to Catch)

Optional extra items that make for better experience

Spoiler

1. Change the off ball and on ball settings for both you and the opposition (Examples: Steph-off/Deny, on/Smother. Wiggins-off/Moderate on/Moderate. Wiseman-gap, moderate. Looney Leave, Gap)

2. Get to know your playbook well. Set up your quick plays. (I'm getting better with the player specific commands like cut, receive screen, etc.) Run every opportunity. Look to push any chance you get.

Point is to get more random, dynamic, but realistic play. This is the goal and I feel like I'm getting dangerously close.
