Differences in Difficulty Levels (Da Czar)

Re: Differences in Difficulty Levels (Da Czar)

HOF with CPU shooting turned down to 45 to mirror the user shooting. Having the CPU and the user have the same shooting sliders is a must. Otherwise, 71 rated 3 point shooters like Colin Sexton will hit over 60 percent of his open 3's. If the CPU shooting was more realistic HOF would be the perfect game vs. the CPU. User vs. User HOf default is the way to go, otherwise shooting is to easy. Imo

On Superstar I feel like I can't leave anyone open messes up the gameplan when I have to play tight on the average shooters. I might give this a go.

Re: Differences in Difficulty Levels (Da Czar)

Usually play on HOF every addition, this year I may consider bumping down...

HOF is really HOF.

Keep it there and turn the cpu shooting sliders to 45 to match yours. World of difference.

When the cpu gets there shooting sliders to high its a perfect release contest. On superstar and HOF you can look at the follow thru and release reactions of the cpu and see they are perfect releases. 45 will change that for below avg shooters.

Rob, you think USER vs USER; HOF is still the way to go?

Once you get shooting sliders higher then HOF it is to easy to shoot. Anything other the HOF would cause the guys with good timing to shoot an unrealistic percentage. Especially, for someone like me who uses 1 team. It would be hard to miss an open shot.

Re: Differences in Difficulty Levels (Da Czar)

I've only played one game against the AI so far, but this was default Superstar. KCP hit some nice buckets for me and Kawhi's defense was ridiculous. Fun game, felt good. Too small a sample size to say where I'll be playing yet, but if they're all like this it'll probably be Superstar.

Steals seem very high. Are you reaching a lot or did they just happen ?

Re: Differences in Difficulty Levels (Da Czar)

This has been posted in several threads, but I feel it's important to post it here in the general forum because there is a real difference in how difficulty levels have been worked this year...and this video itself will answer a lot of the questions that will inevitably come up.

Seems like All Star is most balanced, realistic level this year.

What level will you guys be playing on?

Thank you 24th!

Must admit played two games and it plays totally different. Very good. I think I will leave it there

21 vs 15 steals... the last season NBA leaders were the Thunder with 9... both teams had 4/5 assits more than the Warriors this year (29)... need some sloders work

I don't disagree that it's a lot of turnovers on both sides, but how the game plays is more important to me than stats to a certain degree. Plus, I usually generate a lot of turnovers anyway. I still haven't played on All-Star yet, though. I'm curious how different it feels considering that's the recommended difficulty.

Re: Differences in Difficulty Levels (Da Czar)

Yeah after watching the video, It's what I thought during the prelude, All-Star is the level for me. I want crappy defenders to be crappy and elite defenders to be elite. Every CPU opponent defender being an elite defender on HOF is not my idea of a fun experience.

I know you mean it from the standpoint of you mastering that teams shooting releases, ect. But you never pick any other team at all? I mean I have a favorite team (Thunder) that I use mostly, but depending on match up, I have a few other teams I go to. And no none of them are GSW lol. I usually play offline/online against my friends and when i'm not playing them, i'm playing the AI. If they don't pick a crazy team like GSW, i'll sometimes go with one of my lower tier teams.

Re: Differences in Difficulty Levels (Da Czar)

I usually play on HoF because Ace worked on that difficulty. But I recently saw a tweet from OG that ACE works the same on each level.
If so, I will fluctuate between All-Star and Superstar.

I am a Hawks fan and that is the only team I would enjoy playing with. 2k gets me thru the real NBA season. Only time i use other teams is when forced to in demo. Haha

Re: Differences in Difficulty Levels (Da Czar)

Is it like last year where we play on HOF and then adjust sliders from there to get the best results?

They don't even have a Joe Johnson/Josh Smith classic team in either.

The reason I will play on AS is because the gap between good and bad CPU defenders is the largest. Do you find that is the case on HOF?

Re: Differences in Difficulty Levels (Da Czar)

The issue is the FG%'s are way too high. I don't really see any slider makers posting either.

I do see a difference, between good and bad defenders. What that Gap is as opposed to AS, I have no idea. But, I play a very methodical style. Mostly passing and shooting, not alot of dribbling. So maybe i am not thebest judge.

I have been able to get to the hole and get layups on my limited playshare time this year. I thnk guys are to used to dusting defenders off the iso dribble. I have found triple threat moves, pumpfakes and angles to play out very well this year. Very few guys in the nba get more then 4 to 6 points a game on drives. So i think old 2k's have skewed our views of good offense.

Thank you 24th!

Of course bro. Always gold on your YouTube page...

I played my first game on HOF and it looked like Hulk vs. Thanos...
