Real Usage & Shot Location% from 2018-2020 season Spreadsheet + ATD Roster Edit

[paqofskillz]

**UPDATED FOR 20-21 SEASON, TRADE DEADLINE 4/5/21**
Waddup PS4 folks,
after long debate and as the thread title implies, I decided to release the data I collected across the forum to help out fellow roster makers out there in the world. After searching to find answers, I compiled a spreadsheet to have a sort of REFERENCE GUIDE to all the top creators’ sliders for REAL MYLEAGUE SIM STATS.

THEY ARE NOT THE GAMEPLAY SLIDERS THESE ARE MYLEAGUE SLIDERS. This information span from 2k19-2k21 and each creator goal was to have close to real sim stats. Each slider set will have different results but with them all in one place, you can easily mix and match settings to your liking. If you need gameplay sliders, I suggest schnaidt1, popboy or eccentricmeat as they have good gameplay sliders that I like.

1st Spreadsheet https://www.dropbox.com/s/bst9q721z5...ders.xlsx?dl=0

2nd Spreadsheet https://www.dropbox.com/s/n9gc0jfjmo...ions.xlsx?dl=0

My second spreadsheet is just a compilation of EVERY PLAYER SHOT LOCATION% for 2020-2021 season (or last season played if less than 30 games) credit basketball-reference. I also included REAL USAGE% and a formula credited to townknave to calculate SHOT TENDENCY.

The values that are used in gameplay are the action driven Tendencies (Spot Up, Off Screen, Contested, Stepback, Driving Pull-Up, Transition, Driving, Standing)."

Up until recently, Da_Czar confirmed that there were tendencies that are obsolete to gameplay and vice versa for sim stats. Shot tendency and S/Under, S/Close, S/Mid, S/3pt were some that after years of testing, I can confirm. Using real percentages allowed me to see near exact results as far as 3pt attempts go per36 in sim league.

For Shot Tendency, as crazy as it sounds, I’ve been using townknave formula since 2k15 and when used with real shot locations it yields accurate shot selection in myleague sim stats NO MATTER THE ROSTER from my experience. Players like Harden averages 11 3pt attempts per game. Most players match their per36 stats unless they have inaccurate ratings or shooting badges (which is an issue on every roster because badges started boosting sim stats).

To be upfront, the credited creators are Antdoggydogg, Schnaidt1, Barncore, all involved in SimWorld project, CelticLG, JEDL, EccentricMeat, Townknave, Popboy, Vanwolfhawk for his research thread & Comduklakis. Below are links to their slider pages and also links to my resources. Please read through their threads for answers if you have questions about their sliders.

As far as what roster I use, I used CelticLG ATD Roster as a base. you can input shot location and tendency in any roster and the results will be near the same. I personally been using CelticLG ATD Roster since 2k19. Also, a thing of note, MyLeague stat simulation sliders and POE settings plays a part into stat distribution so keep that in mind.

This year I have helped with the ATD roster for PS4 (paq-dont-lack on discord) s/o CelticLG, Jeffruel, max43092, ClutchCity007, ManuG20, MickeyFree777 and whoever else I missed. It was a pleasure working with you guys. Link is provided below. If you would like my version of the ATD roster its under my PSN. My version has my shot tend and location edits as well as coach POEs/profiles from simworld and antdoggydogg. Roster + ratings are updated up to trade deadline (500 players 3/31/21 DaBenjiCode, soundsational, woody47, ripcity71252 sig edits update); accessories and shoes were not fully done yet on mine. Injuries was set for players who missed or will miss over 25 games that way players can miss the approximate time from start of season you can always manually set injuries if you dont like them. My roster does not include All-Time Teams as I needed to put FA’s on a team in order to quick edit them.

PSN: PaQ_Dont_Lack
File: ATD with Paq Tendencies (4/5/21 Shot Tend and coach POEs updated for 20/21 season)

also added a myleague slider set

***please note MYLEAGUE ROSTER was a accidental upload and ATD WIP file does not include my tendencies that’s the original ATD beta file please do not download***

Finally figured out how to upload my myleague slider settings and gameplay sliders for simulation... but here's a spreadsheet just incase your wondering what they are so you can import them into your consoles.

I recommend to set game speed at 65 with these settings

Unfortunately I don't. You can always just assign players back to opening night team. Only made the trade so people can play it in PlayNow if they choose too (and so i can run some test sim games to see how the nets would play with sliders im using)

I know I wasn't gonna update the roster, but after testing I realized last year usage do not accurately reflect how stat distribution affects players that are on new teams. So as a result, I have updated the roster to reflect the usage% for the 2020-2021 season as of 1/16/20. I used nba.com for reference.

[paqofskillz]

roster has been updated as of 4.5.21, unfortunately draft picks have to be manually traded as my roster wasn't built on a recent 2k updated roster. all rookies are rated and have cyberface.
