Here's the story how I came up with these sliders. I was using Playmakers NBA 2k10 sliders on NBA 2k10 and had a lot of fun. If you all know me, you know I'm a had huge fan of his slider sets. I used them for NBA 2k25 and did not quite get the same results obviously but it was a great experiment to see if it would fix some of the complaints about the game. Some of the following are:
-freedom of movement
-being stuck in animations
-being sucked into animations
-CPU just being unfair
-Being able to make tough shots
-do a wider variety of dunks and layups
- more jump shooting fouls
-makes pro difficulty harder... a lot harder
I actually fixed these things but not with the same exact sliders. I used chatgpt to make Playmakers sliders more compatible with NBA 2k25. I also credit ShadyMike for his movement sliders. These are compatible with most rosters. The two best rosters I personally think would be the most compatible is ATD's and Real2Kinsider's.
But.....Yeah I know there's always a but.. they are not finished. I posted them to get help from the NLSC community because I want us to enjoy these as a whole. There's a few things that need to be fixed like:
- a tad too many shooting fouls (i like the fouls better this way but dang it needs to be toned down a little)
- some players take too many 3 pointers. Steph Curry goes overboard
- the blocks are a little too arcadey
- I like where the dunk slider is but I want it to be tougher for the user to do them
Furthermore, I would not change anything that gets rid of the pro sliders because that is half the reason why these sliders are so good in the first place. I think all slider sets on this 2K in particular should be built from Pro. I have nothing against HOF but it is tougher to create a free flowing game on that set.
It still needs work but not bad for a person who has the slightest clue about 2k sliders. I hope one of you guys can finish them for me.

Edit: 04/17/2025 Final Set
Here's the final set y'all. For use with ATD roster. Made with chatgpt to get the sliders similar to playmakers style. The movement sliders are not a typo. They actually work go ahead and try them. These are mostly revamped btw. You should find them on 2k Share. Just search my Username: stonecoldsteve1990
