Change the speed of the game’s simulation in NBA 2K26 to help decrease or increase the pace of the immersion.

Simulation speed is a great feature in NBA 2K26 that allows you to control the pacing of your selected game mode. This feature is limited to those game modes where games and seasons are based on simulations. Games that you play on the court, however, cannot be simulated and are meant to be played at their fullest. For such scenarios, you can always adjust the game length or the game conditions to end them faster.
In this article, we will look at how to change the simulation speed in NBA 2K26.
Simulation Speed in NBA 2K26

With simulation speed, you can control just how fast or accurately you would like to finish a season. There are three settings you can choose from to help alter the effect of the results. While a fast sim will help finish the season quicker, a slower sim will give the season a more lore-accurate finale. Let us take a look at the three simulation speed settings in NBA 2K26.
Types of Sim Speed in NBA 2K26
Simulation Speed | Features | Note |
---|---|---|
Smartest | Realism and accurate results | The game considers individual player stats and coaching strategies to produce the best results. |
Happy Medium | Balance between | The simulation picks up pace but keeps intact the important moments. Less accurate than ‘Smartest’. |
Fastest | Less Accurate | The sim engine will skip all the parts, loosely taking into consideration any stats at all. This is best if you wish to just skim over seasons. |
