Id like to start by saying these sliders are founded off the base of shadymike's nba 2k17 sliders. I believe he isnt on OS anymore, but for people that want to check out his slider set visit his youtube account "shadymikegaming". That being said, below is the slider set i came up with after tweaking a couple of things that didnt seem to feel quite right with other sets ive tried. This is my first time on OS and I hope with the help of the community it wont be my last! If your like me you know that 2k gave us the foundation to play anykind of game we want, and for real basketball fans its hard to strive for anything other than "Real feel" basketball! enjoy

These Slider are on ps4 2k share and updated under my gamertag, amir-05-davis
Side Notes:
1. These Sliders are for experienced 2k players who want to play simulation basketball.
2. These Sliders are designed to bring out 2k17's new animations (tap rebounds, steals, etc..) without the "cheese" by the cpu.
3. The CPU will try to beat you! I cant stress enough the importance of game planning, matchups, subs, etc.. it will take a full mind and team effort to pull off multiple wins with this set.
4. a major problem with simulation 2k and sliders sets has been the amount of shots taken and points scored on both sides. This slider set combats that with 11 minute quarters, slower general pace of the game, yet still allows for ample amount of big time plays!
5. Your players and badges matter! trying to do things that players cant/dont do hasn't typically had a negative effect on their output. with these sliders player will play more like themselves, go hot and cold, and accumulate stats more towards their real life capabilities
** Last but definitely not least, These Sliders bring out real life defense and shot making capabilities. Ive stressed the fact that in basketball, "good defense should be rewarded, but not all the time." This means that if i play a good defensive possession and finish with a good contest, id like to see the chances of the cpu scoring going significantly down. *This does not mean it Disappears! The CPU will still hit plenty of buzzard beaters, contested shots, etc, but so will you! I think this aspect is what mostly defines the nba and whats lacking in 2k.
With that being said, enjoy! please feel free to leave any feedback, good or bad. Its the only way we as a community can find the set we're truly looking for!
