NBA 2K23 Era mode simulation sliders

[Mister_G]

The 3PT attempts must be hard-coded into the eras, unless there's a mystery tendency/setting we're not seeing. Disappointing, and makes me think that it's going to be extra difficult to carry a League through the 80's into different eras.

I love this for sure but one extreme measure as it pertains to gameplay, is I don't know how you're going to get to the 30FTA's per game they had in the 80s and 90s by lowering Foul Tendencies.

Could you share your results and thought process on this?

Yeah for sure understand what you're saying here. Again, I was only testing end of season team stats. Getting those as close as possible to real life averages for the 83-84 season.

I haven't tested a ton with these for played games but the few games I did play with fully maxed out foul sliders on both sides (even reach in foul at 100), FTA weren't bad at all. I was getting 20 or so.

What you could do is quickly raise foul tendencies back up for the teams playing for games played. Then lower back down after the game. Since it's just a global edit it would be pretty fast to do.

Going to start testing for Jordan era (90-91 season) and come up with settings for that era soon.

Just to compare FTA and fouls per game from 83-84. Fouls per game in 91 were 23 with 27 FTA league average. 83-84 was basically 30 FTA, with 25 fouls per game average. 3PA went from 2.4 in 83 to 7.1 for 90-91. Which for sure caused the fewer fouls and FTA from early 80s.

What's interesting is ppg dropped from 110ppg in 84 to 106ppg in 90-91. Probably because more threes taken with not much of an increase in 3pt % from 1983.

Once I get set up for the 90-91 season I'll post those here beside the settings for 83-84 season.

I've found best possible setup for simulation games in the JORDAN ERA with Clutch finished with the rosters. Shout out to him for amazing work and being gracious enough to do it all for free. Thanks so much!

So first thing to be done is similar to 1983-84, these global edits MUST be done for these to work.

#1 Raise 3pt shot tend +25 for all players Then +5 for every type of 3pt shot until you reach the contested, stepback, and pull up threes.

#1 Lower foul and hard foul tendency -15. This is a slight changed. In the 80s era the edit was -20. Here in the 90s I've gotten -15 to work well. Maybe it could work in the 80s with more testing there.

Just some league wide team averages from the 91-92 season:

PPG- 105.3
FGA- 87.3
FG%- 47.2
3PA- 7.6
3P%- .331
FTA- 26.7
FT%- .759
STL- 8.6
BLK- 5.5
TOV- 15.6
FPG- 22.2


Here are the simulation settings. 12min simmed quarters.

If NOT listed then it is default 50 value!

●Team Pace- 25... this again is completely backwards from what I can tell. The higher it is the less FGA in simulated games. Lower it is the more FGA there is.
●Fastbreak- 60

●Shots- 100
●Assists- 0
●Steals- 90
●Blocks- 46
●Turnovers- 100
●Fouls- 20

●Shot three- 92

●Dunk, Layup, Close, Medium shot Percentage- 46.
●Three Point Percentage- 65
●Free Throw Percentage- 67


●Shot distribution- 45
●Defensive Rebound Distribution- 0
●Assist Distribution- 40

I'm gonna assume we will have to do these same type of global edits for each draft class for the team stats to work as we move along in our MyNBA seasons. 2k went a bit overboard on the lack of 3pt shooting in the 80s and 90s. And too many fouls for simulated games as well in thos eras.

Not sure how it looks for the 2000s yet, but I'm have to assume the same thing will be seen when comparing to real life team averages for those early 2000 seasons.

Looking forward to trying these out.

What sliders do you use for played out CPU-CPU games, if any?

I haven't ever watched cpu vs cpu yet but I'd assume your user vs cpu sliders would be a good base to start. I am currently working on some sliders of my own that are like Pro++ difficulty. Don't get to play a ton so it's taking a long time.

These in this thread are simulation sliders and settings only. Some don't care about stats from simmed cpu vs cpu games, but for me it's a vital part of the game if I want to have fun long term.
