OS user Cycloniac is a long-time creator on the forums, and he’s best known for the rosters he puts out (his 2K rosters are coming soon), but his sliders are now on Version 3 and looking good.
I highlighted Real FG% sliders from OS user TC earlier this week and Cycloniac’s sliders also use this option, but here it’s in part because Cycloniac likes to do CPU vs. CPU games. We don’t have something that rivals Football Manager or OOTP on the basketball front, so using NBA 2K24 as strictly a management sim where you watch the games play out is something some of us do from time to time.
The sliders also work if you want to control the action, but I just point out the CPU vs. CPU aspect because not many slider sets take that into account — even here on OS where folks post a lot of sliders. These sliders are also being tuned for Cycloniac’s soon-to-be released aforementioned rosters that are on the horizon, but again, these can be a good base regardless of what rosters you use.
