Hope that's the case! About time they didn't just boost CPU attributes to increase difficulty... Can't wait to see the sliders!

This is what I'm thinking. I don't know how we could determine if it's hidden without the arrows though.

FYI... I've asked the question thru twitter.

It will be really interesting to see the response that you get. So far I really believe that the boosts are gone. I'm playing HOF simulation on default and it really feels like straight up basketball without the cpu cheating me.

Weird that they don't show the boosts anymore. I recalled a quote from Da_Czar talking about boosts though and looked it up. Seems they're still there, here's what he said about it a few weeks back...


"We need much more basketball in the games before difficulty level is built on smarter basketball. We have to build out all or a lot more of the basketball decisions that the game currently does not have. That is a major undertaking but something that I really want to do once we can. This year by tuning to superstar sim we tried to make that the level that even with any AI boosts is the most fair while still being the most challenging.

You guys will determine for us if we made it and obviously most of you play on custom sliders etc anyway to that may be tuff to get feedback on. HOF is still AI enhancement. and the user shooting difficulty is tough on that level. I focused most of my play time and effort on superstar sim. So I can't speak for HOF because I spent as much time as possible on Superstar throughout the process. It is difficult but fair at least for the way I play.

On all star I can not pay attention for several possessions and still win a good percentage of my games. On superstar even a few unfocused possessions can make it difficult for me to win (matchup dependant of course) At the end of games I don't see crazy high cpu points in the paint but they are more aggressive. The game kind of reacts to you in a sense though so what you see depends on your inputs. So if your a pressure everywhere type of guy the AI is going to hit you with back-doors. If the AI's POE is attack the basket that is where they are going to go until you can stop it. If you crash the offensive boards and don't get them your going to take a beating in transition buckets or wind your best players turboing back on defense every possession.

That is stuff I have noticed while I play on Superstar SIM but the game is so reactive that I can see someone trying to pressure and pissed that the AI scored the majority of it's points in the paint. Or deny's everyone everywhere and is then pissed because they get beat off the bounce and there is no help. I can't guarantee you it is perfect because it's not but it is certainly much improved and up to superstar you should be able to play without constantly feeling cheated. There are times where the AI just flat plays good D and you have to force up a shot you didn't want to."

Thank you for this.


I will be doing SS Slider set instead since I will not be able to negate any HOF boosts.
