For many years I have heavily invested my time into sports franchise game modes, particularly basketball and football. Examples of some games I heavily invest time into franchise modes are Madden NFL, NBA 2K, and the past NCAA football series. The features of a franchise mode game can take the immersion factor to a whole another level but from my experiences taking the immersion level to the next level does not only deal with features within the game mode but the gameplay itself. Having the right sliders is key to longevity in a franchise mode, whether your're looking for a arcade franchise or a deep realistic franchise like what a lot of people on here look for. To accomplish the latter I have worked on these sliders for NBA 2k18 MYGM for a while. These sliders has been crafted to try and replicate the real life NBA and if you are going to use these sliders you must utilize every feature of MYGM to beat your opponent. One more thing before jumping into the sliders, these sliders are challenging and you must put full focus into every game do not expect to shoot 60% most of the time you will average around 43-50% depending on the team and the player skill. Lastly for these sliders you must pass the ball smartly and know when to make risky passes as the computer will be aware of everything on the court, just like in real life most of the time. Just make sure you create a gameplan and do not ever take an opponent lightly, I will give you all of my settings and sliders starting right now. Enjoy!

Hello everyone I just wanted to give everyone an update on these sliders I have tweaked or recreated. This sliders in my opinion are more realistic and provides a better challenge. The KEY thing playing with these sliders is that the USER must play one position on defense at all times. During my time of play I would usually switch guys into position or contest shots myself but that had too much of an impact. So I just stick to one position one on defense and play freely on offense. YOUR DEFENSIVE SETTINGS will be important to help you winning or losing games, I personally wanted to see my settings take more of an effect so this is why I stuck with one position so make sure you have your defensive gameplan and setting to your liking. These sliders are all about making adjustments so make them count. I will upload a video later explaining these sliders more in depth.
