Welcome
I have had a lot of people asking me on streams and/or Twitter/X about what sliders I am using, so I wanted to put something out there public facing. I would say these are still in a bit of a beta simply because of how close they are to default. I feel the game plays excellent out of the box, and most of my changes have been to penalty sliders and injuries. The game is starting to get a bit easier now, so expect some changes soon…

Welcome
This set was built from 2K’s default Superstar sliders in a MyNBA setting.
What I prefer is listed below, as I like to be more of a GM than a coach. This allows me to evaluate my actual coach based on his performance. If you prefer to control more, adjust as you see fit.
Many of the sliders are at default as the game plays well and doesn’t need a massive overhaul. The changes I’ve made, however, are crucial, in my opinion.
