The goal (as with all slider sets) is to create an environment that produces both realistic play-to-play results as well as game results.
I.e.
- Good teams should beat bad teams more often than vice versa.
- Good players should produce and produce realistically pertaining to % and location of shots.
- Luck should occasionally play a role
- Defense, pace, size, speed should be factors
- Fouls should be a factor
etc.
How did I come up with these sliders?
A number of ways:
- Hoopdata.com and 82games.com both track shot locations and FG % per location-- I've used these to tune tendencies and shot success rates
- Hoopdata.com tracks rebound rates- I've used these to tune rebounds
- I've played at least 100 games and watched at least 100 CPU v. CPU games-- therefore, I have seen all types of teams and players operate with these sliders in place
- Personally I started at Sim/Pro and started moving slightly in directions (for instance, down on quickness slider) that seemed necessary to make this game more realistic.
- Finally, I took all slider sets on this website whose gameplay settings mirrored or at least resembled mine (i.e. Pro or all-star level, 12 minute quarters) plugged them in a spreadsheet (my settings were plugged in three times each per slider, to weight the end result mostly toward mine), dropped both the highest and lowest setting and averaged the rest. However, a few settings are arrived at through different means (see above).
In essence these sliders are a collaboration heavily influenced by my game experience and tweaking and information seeking.
A note: I believe the best possible way to play the game is with sliders equal on both sides, so all settings are for both cpu and human.

Enjoy!
If you choose to move to all-star level with these sliders, the shooting sliders (success when shooting from different areas: mid, close, etc.) will need to be adjusted down. I highly recommend Pro level. Police yourself. It's a video game. Like Czar says, "Play basketball". Pro is more than challenging and much more realistic. Also, remember this: players have a "draw foul" tendency (which is a spectacular addition), so rookies, lesser players, etc. will get mauled in the paint and no call will be made. This is exactly the case in the NBA. 70 gives you a nice balance of calls and no-calls with calls going to the better players (or the players with a higher draw foul rating).
As far as a lot of the issues others have been having (short of bumping on the perimeter): O-rebounds not happening, loose-ball fouls and over the back fouls not being called, no collision in the paint, etc. I have never had a problem with any of these. Since I have the same game, I'm assuming it's the level and sliders that are correcting it.
