NBA 2K24 discussions a lot of the time come down to what type of shooting do you prefer? Real FG% is one of the options along with the most-used and default option of user timing. OS user TC has sliders for those who want to go more the simulation route.
When using Real FG% for users, this mostly boils down to hunting for quality shots rather than worrying about when to release the button. From there, the game calculates things based on ratings and hot spots and such and gives you an outcome that lines up with “real” percentages. It’s quite popular among more sim-minded folks who just want to play a more “coached” style of game or simply don’t feel comfortable with user timing.
TC details the sliders below, but you can also download them if you’re on current-gen consoles as the Online ID for PS5 is listed below as well.

He loves just about any good sports game but gravitates to ones that coincide with the ongoing real seasons of the NBA, NHL, MLB, NFL, and so on. As of now, he's gearing up for EA Sports College Football 25 and what should be a wild summer while still dabbling in the latest Top Spin and MLB The Show.
