Armor & Swords “Average Joe” NBA2K23 Pro Level “Era Mode” Sliders Real FG%/FT%
      Wow folks......Visual Concepts has delivered what is quite possibly the greatest console sports game of all time. I am deadly serious. I don’t usually hand out a hot take like that.....but this game is simply dazzling in every way. Presentation, signature styles, Era specific game rules and tuning, the depth of My League, the roster community it just is all coming together to give us the most complete package for a sports game I have ever seen and played. So of course I am going to share with the community my style of 2K. And what is that? "Average Joe" Pro Sliders using Real FG%/FT% So is this set for you? Answer these questions: What is a “Average Joe" and will this set appeal to you? 1) Are you a long time sports gamer who grew up on Tecmo Super Basketball, Celtics vs Lakers, NBA Live 1995, NBA Live 2005, NBA 2K11? And you simply do not have the insane stick skills to use the shot meter, and chain together move after move? Do you play pure team basketball, want player ratings to be the absolute end all in the dice roll result in how the teams perform? Are you simply not a cheeser? 2) Do you like to run plays 80-90% of the time with some free style mixed in on breaks, loose balls and some run n gun? 3) Do you like to use full play art but other than that have a totally clean screen and play from the broadcast camera view? 4) Do you want ACE to determine everything for you so you can focus on just playing ball and allowing your coaches gameplan and the vastly improved AI to handle defensive match-ups, rebounding aggressiveness, double teams, hedges, pick and roll strategy etc etc, while you simply run the floor and work the ball? 5) Are you not totally OCD about stats that you will get slideritis? Will you enjoy the game as long as it plays smooth and true to life? Are you a hardcore MyLeague player that will let the universe take it's own course and not get bogged down in setting every little thing up for all 32 teams? (if you do that's ok but time spent playing is better use of time IMO) The only thing I do take control over is lopsided trades (what I deem just pure fleecing between the CPU teams) if needed. It is rare but every now and then I will not allow a trade if it is not in the best interest of either team or the league long term. 6) These sliders are not tested nor designed for use with THE SHOT STICK. Period. If you use the shot stick I can't answer any questions regarding using these with the shot stick. If you want to try it...by all means. I don't use it nor will test with it. 7) These sliders are designed an tested using only the Broadcast Camera/Side View Camera. I already have set up with a Side view Cam I love from some suggestions I had read when the game first came out. It will be posted once Version 1 of the slider set are ready to go. 8) These sliders were tested exclusively on the PS5 Console inside My Era Mode in the Bird/Magic, Jordan and Kobe Era only. I have no plans to play the modern NBA Era......at all. Sorry. I am 100% all in my reshaping the history of the 80’s/90’s and 00’s which is he golden age of The Association. I do not care at all for the modern game. IF you are a classic roster classic NBA “Average Joe” you are in for something special. If you answered yes to all those questions.....this very well may be the slider set for you. As always, please use it as a base....tweak to your skill level or desired outcomes in various area’s of the game. This cycle I am focused on playing the game and not getting bogged down with MyGM RPG aspects of the game. If you like that....by all means. I won’t have settings for the RPG aspect as they will be shut off. I will only control my selected team this cycle as well. Whatever happens.....happens. What I am going to do is be a coach and GM in terms of playing my games, trades, scouting, hiring of my staff, player training, team training etc. So I will share all my progression/regression and training settings which I am testing as well. I want the Era specific rules to be in effect and have the ability to approve or disapprove of expansion, rules changes etc along the way. I am patiently waiting for MJ Wizards and Clutch to work their roster magic and use their rosters for My Era Mode. MJ is hitting the Bird/Magic Era first and Clutch is hitting the Jordan Era first. Which is awesome. My plans are to run a Lakers Bird/Magic Era franchise and a Miami Heat Jordan Era. Then down the road we will take on the Heat again in the Kobe Era. Clutch is also filling in the historic draft classes for the Jordan Era. I am sure you will be able to find high quality Bird/Magic Era draft edited historic classes and I think Clutch is also going to so the Kobe Era classes. This game is going to own my soul for years and years to come.....just like Madden 16 and MLB The Show 20. That is my Holy Triumphant of console sports games. 2K23 has knocked 2K11 off that crown! I am also loving the Jordan Challenge this year....just amazing fun. I ask for some real serious patience as I am playing dozens of test games in all three era’s as I test the tweaks we have been working on. The beautiful thing is this game is so well tuned out of the box.....but as I kept playing I wanted to work on some areas like: Rebounds FG% Fouls Fatigue Injuries have so far been outstanding on default!!! In game injuries are back!! Also CPU teams are calling lot’s of timeouts!! Sub rotations look good.....2K did an amazing job tuning this game for launch. Just awesome. I do stream a lot. Please join me if you like to have some good conversations on classic basketball and classic sports in general as well as modern day MLB and NFL. We have fun.....and don’t hold back on our streams!!

Here is where you can customize your franchise to your hearts content. I am going to control every team. However I am automating everything for every team except my own. The reason I am going to do Every team Control is because maybe...in year 4 year 5....I want to change teams. This allows you that option. I am going to explain how to set up your Association/MyLeague the way I do. You can always do whatever you want. It’s your game. This is merely a guide and base. I do tweak some sliders in Progression and injuries as you will see. So let’s get to it. Set Up Options ------------------------ Hit Options and Toggle on: Custom Roster (if using Clutch or MJ Wizards My Era completed Rosters) Customize Simple Settings Customize Advanced Settings Advanced CBA Rules ------------------------------- They are all toggled on by default. I leave them alone as the rules for the Magic/Bird, Jordan Era as well as Kobe Era are "Era Specific” You will have the opportunity to Vote or overturn on the league rule changes every season. You will also be able to overturn expansion and relocation. It is all up to you. Role Playing Elements --------------------------- I do not like nor play the legacy My GM Mode. Not my thing. If you want all those RPG elements as a GM and Owner by all means. Toggle them on. Also I do not suggest Draft Storylines for all the historic and custom draft classes. Why? Well it is up to you in the end.....but theoretically if you toggle them on Michael Jordan for example can have a major career ending storyline....or Hakeem or Lebron or Wade etc etc etc you get my drift. I am more interested in seeing the what if without that random dice roll element. However if your feeling saucy and want to gamble....turn on the Draft Storylines for both Generated and Historic classes. Just remember....any player CAP created to fill in the missing players (Barkley, Miller etc) are also subject to these storylines even if you only toggle generated. So do this at your own risk. The only thing I toggle on here is Moral and Chemistry Budget and Finances ------------------------------- Salary Cap and Hard Cap are by default on and I leave them on and will vote on the hard cap in future seasons. Users choice on toggling on User Controlled Budgets if that is your thing. I let my Governor handle that. Online - Not applicable....we don’t play online leagues Automate Offseason Time Periods ----------------------------------------- Toggle all of them on. I will explain once we advance here how to turn all those off for “your” team that you want to play as. I toggle all of them on as it simplifies the entire process for the rest of the league. Again it’s your universe and you can do whatever you want. But I don’t over complicate it when running an all team control franchise. Press advance and let’s move on to the next step. Load in your custom roster that you saved (MJ Wizards or Clutch My Era rosters) Simple Setup ------------------- Autosave: Off Season Length: 82 Quarter Length: 11 Minutes Simulated Quarter Length: 11 Minutes Normalize Played to Sim Minutes: Off Normalize Played to Sim Stats: Off Draft Prospect Storylines: Off Playoff Length Setup ----------------------------- First Round: Best of 5 Conference Semifinals: Best of 7 Conference Finals: Best of 7 NBA Finals: Best of 7 Offseason Auto: ----------------------- Everything should be set to on (again I will explain your teams setup in a bit) Features ---------------------- Protected Players: 8 Staff Abilities: Off Progressive Fatigue: On Team Chemistry: On Rule Changes: On Playing Games Cost Action: Off Actions Auto Simulate: Off Autosave After Actions: Off Draft Class Quality: 50 Contracts ---------------- Negotiated Contracts: NBA Salary Cap: On (or off user preference) The rest of this section is the default values Salary Expectations ----------------------------- Min Rating: 35 Max Rating: 60 Salary Curve: 50 Player Potential: 75 Player Durability: 70 Player Minutes: 70 Player Fame: 60 Player Non-Financial Ambitions: 60 Trades ---------------------------- Everything is turned on except: Trade Approval: On Trade Frequency: 55 Player Trade Value ----------------------------- Team Style Importance: 25 Player Fame Importance: 3 Euro-Stash Discount: 95 New Player Signing Premium: 25 Untouchables Premium: 75 Age Discount Contending: 96 Age Discount Buying: 98 Age Discount Selling: 88 Age Discount Rebuilding: 92 Player Type Discounts -------------------------------- All set to default 100 Draft Pick Trade Value -------------------------------- Draft Pick Contending: 75 Draft Pick Importance Buying: 95 Draft Pick Importance Selling: 120 Draft Pick Importance Rebuilding: 130 Pick Depreciation --------------------------- Year 2: 95 Year 3: 80 Year 4: 70 Year 5: 65 Lineup Impact Vs Net Value ------------------------------------- All at default values Injuries ------------------------ Injuries: On Use Roster Injuries: On (for custom Era Rosters with Euro Stash players in waiting) Injury Severity: 65 Injury Duration: 65 Career-Ending Injury Frequency: 50 Wear and Tear: On Progression ------------------------ Player Progression Rate: 50 Player Regression Rate: 50 In-Season Training ------------------------ Training Effects: 60 Training Intensity Very Low: 35 Training Intensity Low: 42 Training Intensity Medium: 50 Training Intensity High: 57 Training Intensity Very High: 65 Work Ethic None: 15 Work Ethic Bronze: 35 Work Ethic Silver: 45 Work Ethic Gold: 50 Work Ethic HOF: 65 Badge Team Player: 55 Badge None: 40 Badge Extremely Confident: 50 Attributes Progression Growth Phase -------------------------------------------- All default except Freethrow: 45 Peak Phase --------------------- All default Decline Phase ----------------------- All default Difficulty ------------------ Gameplay Difficulty: Pro (it will turn to custom once you load in your sliders in the Franchise menu) Everything else is default except: Moral Effects: 55 Chemistry Difficulty: 55 Chemistry Effects: 55 CPU Injury Frequency : 60 User Injury Frequency : 60 CPU User Effects: 65 User Injury Effects: 65 Don’t let the cranked injuries scare you!!!! I have run dozens of tests for the simulated injuries and they are realistic around the league. This puts a huge focus on depth and roster building, training intensity etc for your team. Trust it. If you don’t like it....turn them down to whatever you want. 50 is the default. Simulation ------------------- I have all of these set to their default values Ticker --------------- Ticker Speed: Medium Scrolling Speed: Medium Everything is turned on except G League Now we advance and press triangle (PS5) to select all teams. then Click down R3 to setup up Team Features/Automation Team Features Settings - Again this is my setup. If you like to handle a lot of these things turn them on for your team and remember you can always change these inside your franchise at anytime!!! ----------------------------------- Team - All User Teams Actions: Off Facilties: Off Set Prices: Off Set Budget: Off Relationships Morale: On Relationships Trust: Off Score: Off Skills: Off Tasks Off Team Automation Settings ---------------------------------- Team - All User Teams Everything is set to On Then toggle with your d pad from “All User Teams” to your specific team and set the following: Everything off except: Prospect Scouting: On So I am auto scouting. Why? The CPU does a great job at it. Plus we know most of the prospects in our historic draft classes. If you want to scout.....by all means. It’s your world. I will upload these settings under PSN Todem titled “Armor&Sword MyLeague Setup Bird/Magic Era Once MJ Wizards Completes that Roster and will do the same for The Jordan Era Once Clutch completes his Joran Era Roster” Just remember to toggle over to the team you want to control and turn everything off you want to control for your team and any other team for that matter. The Settings are set to every team “on” for automation. Simply download these settings on the front end My League menu and then adjust your team accordingly. Now go ahead and advance to your franchise: It will ask you what draft class you want to use.....once you find a good 1984 custom draft class....go ahead and download it....or simply use 2K’s 1984 draft class and edit missing players yourself if you so desire. The same will apply for the 1992 Draft Class. Now in your franchise menu go to Options and: Tuning Sliders>CPU/User>Load Settings> Load in my sliders Then set up your teams automation settings how you like (turn off automation for trades, scouting, lineups etc for your desired team/teams) Start rewriting history!!!!!!!!!!!! Armors Average Joe Hall of Fame Sliders V2 One value that means same for both. Only one value is HUM/CPU and that is Contest Shots Free Throw Difficulty: 50 (Real FT this makes no difference) Inside Shot Success: 64 Close Shot Success: 64 Mid-Range Shot Success: 64 3PT Success: 64 Layup Success: 64 Shot Coverage Impact: 45 Shot Timing Impact: 0 Dunk in Traffic Frequency: 50 Dunk in Traffic Success: 56 Pass Accuracy: 40 Alley-Oop Success: 56 Contact Shot Success: 52 Ball Security: 25 Body-Up Sensitivity: 50 Pass Speed: 45 Defense: Driving Contact Shot Frequency: 85 Inside Contact Shot Frequency: 80 Layup Defense Strength (Takeoff): 50 Layup Defense Strength (Release): 50 Jump Shot Defense Strength (Gather): 50 Jump Shot Defense Strength (Release): 50 Help Defense Strength: 75 Steal Success: 65 Attributes: Acceleration: 50 Vertical: 50 Strength: 50 Stamina: 50 Speed: 50 Durability: 40 Hustle: 50 Ball Handling: 43 Hands: 65 Dunking Ability: 50 On-Ball Defense: 50 Stealing: 60 Blocking: 50 Offensive Awareness: 100 Defensive Awareness: 100 Offensive Rebounding: 47 Defensive Rebounding: 60 Offensive Consistency: 50 Defensive Consistency: 50 Fatigue Rate: 50 Lateral Quickness: 50 Tendencies: Take Inside Shots: 50 Take Close Shots: 50 Take Mid-Range Shots: 50 Take 3PT Shots: 50 Post Shots: 50 Attack the Basket: 50 Look for Post Players: 50 Throw Alley-Oops: 50 Attempt Dunks: 50 Attempt Putbacks: 50 Play Passing Lanes: 50 Go for On-Ball Steals: 50 Contest Shots: 40/50 Backdoor Cuts: 50 Fouls: Over the Back Foul Frequency: 100 Charging Foul Frequency: 100 Blocking Foul Frequency: 100 Reaching Foul Frequency: 75 Shooting Foul Frequency: 100 Loose Ball Foul Frequency: 100 Illegal Screen Foul Frequency: 75 Movement: Speed with Ball (Max rating): 60 Speed with Ball (Min rating): 30 Acceleration with Ball (Max rating): 60 Acceleration with Ball (Min rating): 30 Speed without Ball (Max rating): 75 Speed without Ball (Min rating): 35 Acceleration without Ball (Max rating): 75 Acceleration without Ball (Min rating): 35
