Can someone explain the intangibles slider?

[GisherJohn24]

I noticed when you increase the number rating of the intangibles it also increases their overall for the player. Can you tell me if it’s good to keep these numbers low or high to make the gameplay better? If there is a slider that always confused me, it was this one.

It's mostly just a way to raise or lower overall ratings so you don't have to tinker with multiple individual ratings to raise or lower the overall score.

It has always been unclear to me if the adjustments to the intangible score (and overall rating changed because of it) make much of a gameplay impact.

Thank you. I always thought 2K should have a help screen explaining the sliders in deep details. Especially new slider additions. Thx again

Intangibles affects overalls & is the “clutch” attribute. Also affects non-stat related performance much like intangibles does in real life. The notion that it strictly affects player OVR is false false false. Very important rating for making certain players play better than what they are.

Well it does raise their overall rating. So I’m convinced if intangible is higher their ratings go up. But I still don’t know exactly what ratings it affects. I want a slider tutorial. If it’s clutch, then bring back clutch slider they used to have. It’s more easy to grasp what it means.

Sorry but can you provide some insight into this?

Because for what most of us know, thats not true at all. Intangibles slider is stricly an overall modifying tool, which helps with having proper rotations, balancing out rosters, things like that. I dont think theres a single "proof" that the slider has any gameplay impacts at all.

That's how I understand it too. "Proving" any gameplay behavior as described above (making a player more "clutch" for example) is really hard to validate. An example where a player made a last minute shot with the Intangible slider high an missed a last minute shot when the slider was low is a very very small sample size and would not not proof of anything.

This seems like something we need 2K to comment on to have a better sense of what the slide does beyond how you described it (adjusting overall scores for roster balance, rotations, etc.).

I assume that the fact that most of the star players have high Intangibles sliders is ensuring they have high overall scores for rotations and such but likely don't impact actual gameplay. Badges impact gameplay more so having star players with the right mix of badges seems like it would have more gameplay impact.

But again - until 2K provides more info, this is all mostly speculation.

No speculation, maybe misinformation. This was actually tested by NBA2k lab years ago, in 2k17.

"the player with 99 intangibles made 30% more clutch shots than the player with 25 intangibles." In my own experience, I noticed a player with 99 intangibles just plays better on the court than he would with a 50 intangibles rating.
