Similarly to what I created two years ago, I will be creating a slider/roster/scenario set using the ATD project as a base. These have also been tested on CPU vs. CPU games and I've seen great results.

I’m currently editing my roster by making adjustments to the final atd project. It takes me around an hour to complete a team. I’m looking to complete 2 teams per day. So I’m hoping to finish the entire project and have a fully functioning scenario in two weeks time

I will be posting my current sliders with explanations for most of them. I will also guide you on what to increase or decrease if you are having issues in specific areas.

What you can expect/What I'm going for:
-Hand up, so what
-Players can get really hot, but you can also have bad shooting nights.
-I know this is controversial, but I think user timing is ESSENTIAL. You should feel like you have an role in a player getting hot. I know the fear is that all you need to do is know your players jumpshots. I promise that won't matter. I know all of the Warriors jumpshots extremely well. The stats I posted below don't lie though. I think it really worth it to get in the gym and practice everyone shots. It's more rewarding knowing the YOU hit the shot.
-With that being said, it's definitely a myth that user timing makes it so that "ratings don't matter." A 99 three point rating with Curry is a much larger window to hit a shot than a 69 three point rating with Draymond.
-If this set is too hard, increase the shot success sliders by 5 or so. I do consider myself very good at the game. I know my playbook inside and out, I change the defensive sliders for both myself and the CPU before every game (more on that to come).
-NBA games are sloppier than 2k represents. Some of the catching pass animations with this set do get a bit annoying and eyesorery, but it does represent the randomness of an NBA game well.
-Great foul numbers
-More intelligent AI decisions without being robotic, cheesy, predictable or static.

Scenario coming soon now that the ATD Official Day One roster is out. ATD is the base of this roster. CelticLG and everyone else in the discord that created that incredible project deserve all of the credit. I've simply made tweaks to increase pace, fouls, and TO's w/o steals.

Update: Rosters and sliders are complete and up on 2kshare.

Scenario still to come. ETA-Hopefully by the end of the week.

Will also update rosters with 2k's latest playbook updates, attribute updates based on the beginning of the year, and some of the latest sig updates.

Settings:

Difficulty-Hall of Fame

Spoiler

Camera: 2k (User Preference)
User timing for JS's and FT's
Quarter Length-12 minutes
Game Speed-62
After basket camera cuts-Never (slows down pace of play when this is on)
Shot Meter-Off
Shot timing-Shots and Layups
Shot Timing: Early
Defensive Assist-80
Boxout Assist-50
Pass Target Direction-69
Pass Target Distance-30
Pass Target Openness-1 (Shoutout to PopBoy for these)

Ace: Offensive only

Sliders:

Spoiler

USER/CPU (Same for both if only one value)
FT difficulty: 55 -

Spoiler

Don't touch this. Adjusting this messes with the CPU's FT %

Inside Shot Success: 42/37 -

Spoiler

Adjust the shot success values for the respective area, first and foremost, if you are struggling or shooting too well in specific area.

Close Shot:68/62
Mid-Range:50/62
3pt:45/62
Layup:80/35 -

Spoiler

Reverses/deep floaters become impossible if you have layup success timing on and the value is around default or lower. The CPU is always on shooting % for layups now. I suggest adjusting layup release/gather strength if you're seeing too many or little layups being converted.

Shot Coverage Impact: 35

Spoiler

DON'T TOUCH THIS. Also tested this at nauseam for hours. This allows your Steph's to hit logo threes, but still miss wide open jumpers. Go either way in either direction and you will throw everything out of whack.

Shot Timing Impact: 100 -

Spoiler

Controversial, but I want to feel like I hit the shot. It's why we play the game after all. Even if you traditionally hate user timing, I recommend giving this a try. There's nothing like the feeling of getting hot.

Dunk in traffic freq:55
Dunk in traffic success:30
Pass Accuracy:0-

Spoiler

2k is too clean of a game. This helps create some sloppiness and a few more non steal to's

Alley Oop:50/56
Contact Shot:30 -

Spoiler

If you're seeing too many or too little And 1's, adjust this

Ball Security:0 -

Spoiler

-2k is too clean of a game. This helps create some slopiness and a few more non steal to's

Body up:35 -

Spoiler

Important slider. I like where we landed. Opens up the fastbreak game as well as the drive and kick game.

Pass speed:17

Driving contact shot freq:90
inside contact shot:90
layup defense strength (takeoff):25 -

Spoiler

I recommend adjusting these higher or lower if you're seeing too many layups made. If you adjust the layup success slider, reverses/deep floaters become impossible.

(release):35
Jump shot defense strength (gather):11 -

Spoiler

DO NOT TOUCH THE JS STRENGTH SLIDERS. If you want to adjust shooting % for either user or CPU, go to the success sliders. I've tested these at nauseam. Go any higher and highly contested shots become IMPOSSIBLE to hit, which isn't realistic. Go too low and defense doesn't matter anymore.

(Release):12
Help d:70
Steal success:5

Spoiler

*See steal attribute explanation*

Acceleration:51
Vertical:40
Strength:50
Stamina:45
Speed:100 -

Spoiler

I would actually go a bit higher here if I could. You don't realize how fast NBA players are when they hit full stride.

Durability:20
Hustle:0
Ball Handling:55
Hands:20
Dunking:50
On Ball D:40
Stealing:90 -

Spoiler

Makes players reach in more, because they THINK they can come up with a steal. Causes more reach in fouls which replaces the random off ball fouls 2k fails to replicate. Balancing this out with a super low steal success rating give you realistic steal numbers

Blocking:60/63 -

Spoiler

I've always been a bit better than the CPU at blocking shots. You should play close attention to this slider, based on your style of gameplay.

Off Aware:100
D Aware:90
Off Reb:8
Def:1 -

Spoiler

Allows balls to bounce out of bounds on occasion

Off Consitency:100 -

Spoiler

Allows players to get super hot. But players can also get really cold. I've gone 0/9 with Steph but I've also started games going 6/6 from three with Klay. This continues to represent modern NBA's game of runs. I've brought it back from being 20 down on a few occasions.

Def Consitency:70 -

Spoiler

It's possible to get hot defensively too

Fatigue Rate:55
Lateral Quick:0 -

Spoiler

Needs to be at 0 to avoid unrealistic lateral fast movement while in a defensive stance

Take Inside shots:50/100
Close:50/25
Mid:50/100
3pt:50/35
Post:50
Attack:50/99
Post players:70
Alley oops:50/95
Attempt Dunks:50
Putbacks:50
Passing Lanes:30
On ball steals:100
contest:99
Backdoor:100

Over the Back:100
Charge:100
Blocking fouls:100
Reaching:100
Shooting fouls:100
Loose ball:100
Illegal Screen:100

Speed w ball (max) 100 -

Spoiler

These have created realistic pace/movement/opened up fastbreak opportunities though speed differentiation.

Speed w ball (min) 60
Acceleration w/ball (max) 100
Acceleration w/ball (min) 50
Speed w/o ball (Max) 75 -

Spoiler

Needs to be right around here. Any higher and you'll see unrealistic speed burts while in defensive stances. Changing this value also messes with fastbreak opportunities.

Speed w/o ball (min)0
acc w/o ball(Max)87
acc w/o ball (min) 0

Full gameplay examples. Parts one and two.

Need to turn help defense down, too many open looks, but this was the hottest shooting night I've had thus far. Really blew it open in the second half.

Eventually, I'll post my pregame adjustments so you all get a feel of how I set my team up and my opponents gameplans

Wassup bro, which shot timing release time your usbing, it’s probably one of the dumbest things they added but here we are lol

Early actually. I think early gives the most accurate interpretation of right before the ball is leaving your hands. Shot timing gets more difficult with the higher game speed and no meter, so it makes the feeling of getting hot more rewarding for me

And these are compatible with the ATD rosters

Yes and no. They are the atd rosters with my own tweaks to better reflect todays NBA. They are my own roster tweaks, with a slider set to achieve realistic gameplay and stats

I’ve never gotten CPU settings to stick other than matchups. Everything else reverts to default. Even when controlling all teams in MyLeague.
