Welcome

House Rules (Optional)

• I use 2K's rosters as they are the only ones I trust using their new ratings formula for 2k16. I also use game generated draft classes for that very reason.
• I do not use position locks and would recommend against using them as well.
• Feel free to adjust your Coach Gameplan, Playbook, Training, etc.
• Do not have more FA signings than any other AI team has done during the season.

Played about 25 games at default sim all star with real fg and ft %.
Observation is too high fg% for both sides, way too many blocks, not enough offensive boards.

[Mike Lowe]

This is helpful, and I was seeing the same thing. If you look through the player profile pages and their career game highs, most guys max out at 2 blocks as a game career high.

Yes, I am also using real shooting/FT %, and I have put the game speed down to 45 for what I imagine to be a 10% reduction in overall game speed.

[jake44np]

I have been using game speed at 47 my last few games.
I love ur Madden sliders is the only reason I took a look at this thread.
Can't wait to see what u come up with for this game.
I have tried every set on this set and haven't been happy with any yet.
Armors are a good start but are way too easy at the Pro setting he is using.
I really found out last year fhat super star is the best level with slider tweaks.

[Mike Lowe]

I also found his a bit easy, and I was using them on AS. Those were the best ones I used though. I'll be looking to match things up again against simulated game stats.

[jake44np]

So u want make a beta set with blocks and shooting sliders turned down a bit?
Then we will play some games and post stats and adjust?

Mike... Are these gonna be based off Armor's sliders like you did with Madden?

No. They'll be based off of 2k's default sim set, because they're already pretty solid.

I'm using GM mode now too, so I'm not sure I'll tinker with the MyLeague settings.
