Also i play primarily online quick match which is on default so i also play the pc on default too. A good cheeser can beat slider adjustments if they know what theyre doing
Here's the thing, sliders are better suited for user vs. cpu games, that is where you get the best experience possible in any sports game. Playing against a friend is always going to lead to fukkery..online or offline. Sliders can help in user vs. user games, especially with certain exploits, but when a nikka wants to do some silly off the wall shyt, it can be tricky stopping them. You can't force ya boy to run plays if he doesn't want to, you can't force him to use the spurs as a half court team when he is all about run n gun, you can't force him get realistic stats etc. It's certain things you can't avoid unless both players agree to play "sim" ball, which is why i don't fukk with online at all.
However, sliders can fix a lot of cheese tactics like guys swatting at the ball all game, with the correct tweaks they will be in foul trouble early and would have to be a lot more smarter when going for steals. Superstar players aren't so easy to abuse..I once saw someone score 80+ points with Westbrook against a friend of mine online, literally walking through defenders, shooting against 2-3 defenders... shyt like that NEVER happens with the sliders/rosters i use, because every single slider, attribute and tendency is tweaked to make the experience mimic real life. There is no running through 5 players with one guy or chuckin it over all of them for a 3/layup with players like Kobe, KD or Melo..let alone anyone else.
About the momentum thing, it happens in real life..teams go on runs, players get hot/cold and timeouts are needed to help swing these situations back in your favor. I don't see this as a problem, it's a part of sports.
