Schnaidt1's 2k18 Sliders W/ MyLeague Settings

[schnaidt1]

Hey all, for those of you who followed my sliders and work for last year, I aim for that same type of game play this year...and i think i am pretty close (minor tweaking may still be needed, but this is a very solid start).

I will include my Myleague settings for this year also and repost last years rotation guideline as it is necessary once again this year unless using advanced rotation method. so..here we go...


ROTATIONS! This is just like last year, in your teams coaching profile make these changes.


-Change Bench Utilization to 100.
-Change Lineup Performance Factor to 0

-Place your bench depth number 1 digit higher than your actual rotation (if you play 9 guys, put 10)



-Distribute minutes. Here is the Key. you must set in increments of 5. and pick at least 2 starters to only set 15 or 20 minutes, the other 3 can be either 25, 30, or 35. (the further apart, the better the subbing)
-your 6th man must be given 30 minutes (or higher)
-if possible give your 7th man 30 minutes also (or higher)
-no more than 2 players can be assigned the same amount of minutes in your starters group and again in your bench. I'll explain.

-do not give 3 players you start the exact same amount of minutes, just as do not give 3 bench players the exact same amount of minutes. the max of either group can be 2. and here is why. when you have multiple players set at the same amount of minutes in the same unit, you will see those mass subs. we don't want that. we want subs coming in 1, 2 and sometimes 3 at a time.

-once you set your minutes you are done. enjoy.

UPDATE 5/22/18

Okay guys, I have decided to post the minutes rotation I have been using. you can still do the above suggestions...this uses it...but this is extremely specific in the minutes allotment and I think this works the absolute best as far as substitution rotations and minutes distributed.

Starters:
2 players at 35 minutes
1 player at 25 minutes
2 players at 15 minutes

Bench:
6th and 7th man at 35 minutes (these guys need to play same positions as the starters who got only 15 minutes)
8th man: 25 minutes (ideally the same position as the starter who plays 25 minutes)
9th and 10th man: 10 minutes (same position as guys that play 35 minutes)

let me go ahead and address the questions that I know will follow

1. the starters you give only 15 minutes will not just play 15 minutes..they will get between 20-25
2. your bench players you give 35 minutes too will get around 20-25 minutes
3. this Specific minute allotment doesnt work with 9 or 11 man rotations.
4. to help make this work, I suggest adopting the concept that you dont need to start your best rated players, having better rated players slotted in the 6th and 7th man slots not only helps make this work, but will benefit you having a better bench when your 2nd unit is in the game.


My 1 MYLEAGUE HOUSE RULES----
1. No trading away any 1st round picks current or future in your teams name. example- you own 2 first round picks for 2018, 1 is your teams, the other came from another. you can trade away that other first rounder, just not yours UNLESS IT IS DURING THE NBA DRAFT, ALL PICKS CAN BE TRADED DURING THE DRAFT.

Hi Schnaidt. I look forward to trying your sliders. It looks like there is a big discrepancy between USER and CPU, with a significant advantage for the CPU.

I'm assuming since the base difficulty is PRO, you are trying to mimic higher difficulty settings, without the CPU cheese that many of us assume is rampant at Superstat/HOF?

Thanks!

[schnaidt1]

I actually have used Pro for the past few years...so i didnt even know that was an issue this year. but i try to make it as fair gameplay wise as possible to get the best gameplay

I really like the speed and pace of your gameplay sliders. The slightly faster animations and player movement suit my playing style. It looks and feels like an NBA game. Great job.

I will upload these sliders on Xbox One for anyone interested in trying them out.
