NBA 2K23 Superstar Sliders (2024)

When it comes to NBA 2K23 sliders, there are oodles to choose from this cycle because so many people are playing the mode to experience the MyNBA Eras. With that said, you can find what you want in our NBA 2K sliders forum. Still, I tend to scope out anything Mike Lowe puts out because he’s a slider innovator of sorts, and I think we have similar mindsets for what we want to get out of our franchise experiences. He is more known for Madden sliders, but if you’re looking for NBA 2K23 superstar sliders, it might be worth checking these out.

NBA 2K23 Superstar Sliders From Mike Lowe

General Info

Mike Lowe’s sliders are now at Version 1.6. You can also scope out his YouTube channel where he’s playing a MyNBA with these sliders.

• Numbers in ( ) indicate + or – of most recent update
• 2K Share: MikeLowe47
• Superstar base with many sliders left at default
• 12 Minute Quarters
• Real Player %

His aim is to have User vs. CPU or CPU vs. CPU game stats match simulated games.

“This set was built from 2K’s default Superstar sliders in a MyNBA setting. What I prefer is listed below as I like to be more of a GM than a coach. This allows for me to evaluate my actual coach based on his performance. If you prefer to control more, adjust as you see fit. Many of the sliders are at default as the game plays well and doesn’t need a massive overhaul. The changes I’ve made, however, are crucial in my opinion.”

I also like the way Mike does sliders because he generally goes the extra step. You don’t have to take it all into consideration, but he’ll show you every setting he’s using beyond the basic gameplay sliders as well, so I will also list those values below. The Real Player % may end up being the issue for some folks as that’s a rather crucial setting depending on how you like to attack shooting percentages, so do with that what you will.
