My Career CPU HOF needs a patch

[shegotgame]

Certainly not here to attack anyone. But this is a circular argument. Developers have stated numerous times--on this forum--that HOF is not meant to be a sim experience; if it were, why would the computer receive attribute boosts? I won't tell anyone to lower the difficulty or even tinker with sliders. IMO, accept it for what it is. You don't even see devs posting that they play on HOF. I've never been able to tolerate HOF; my friends can because 'you get more vc', but I'd rather have a challenging but realistic experience. You will not get that on HOF. That's not how the game is built. It just isn't. And honestly, if all difficulties are winnable out of the box, what do you do when the highest level becomes too easy for you?

Yeah don't get the complaint. You want 2k to make the hardest,most unfair on purpose, difficulty to be easier? Why now just lower the difficulty? I know why though. Because VCrack fiends need that hit and the all-star/superstar ain't good enough anymore.

It's supposed to be unfair. That's the whole point. Start up any video game in existance, turn the difficulty up to the most difficult and you will not see an AI that plays better, but an AI that gets unfair advantages.

This makes no sense. Then remove the "Sim" option if it's not going to be simulating basketball.

These statements are very flawed. HOF should be difficult but rewarding like it was last year. You shouldn't do everything perfect just so the CPU can get every offensive board or just pull up and hit a mid you are correctly contesting. Nor should they be shooting 65% as a team on "Simulation". The AI needs severe tweaking as well.

Personally, I win every Superstar game by 20+ points. I need HOF. But with the ridiculousness that goes on between the cheese and dumb AI, it is apparent it needs a patch.

While I think there are plenty of people playing the mode that shouldn't be and are whining; there are several like myself who know wth we're doing and have very valid feedback.

Here's what I shared in another thread, and why I think a little tweak to HoF is needed to make it a great experience

Problem I find in HoF: Teammate AI is very weak; they miss the simplest shots, turnover the ball. Makes it very hard to play team basketball to win games. Got to score 50-60 to be a contender. It's obvious when your player passes the ball to a teammate (good shooter) for an open shot he'll miss 8/10 times. On the other hand if another teammate passes for an open shot the odds become a lot better. How come? Opponent AI is incredible; they cant miss, or barely. Even their bad players score like MJ. This is greatly helped by teammate AI slaking in defense. If they could just tweak these little things HoF could become really great. But I doubt we'll see this happen.

I'm getting a mixed bag on HOF in my career, i get some of blowout wins that leave me wondering if I had the game on HOF, then I get those games where I get destroyed and I feel cheated.

I made the playoffs as the 3 seed my 2nd season as a PF. We beat the Heat 4-1 in the first round, then had the Cavs in the 2nd round, where we went down 3-1, but forced a game 7 and lost.

It definitely needs a tweaking, as the CPU hits way too many shots it shouldn't hit. But it isn't as bad as last year in my opinion, as the CPU seems to miss a lot more open jumpers.

I had a lot more more success turning off auto plays, and I actually feel like I can win every game going in, rather than knowing I'm probably going to lose like last year.

But HOF is always going to be HOF. We pretty much know what to expect from this level every year.

I don't see why the hardest game mode should be "unfair" that makes absolutely no sense at all. You would think it being the hardest difficulty that it should make everyone play exactly to their tendencies and ratings. HOF should make the game even more realistic to where you have to do more than just score the ball. Instead the mode is giving boost to the opposing AI while making your AI dumber which forces you to do unreal things.

In no way should a simulation game be made unfair on the hardest difficulty. Games like Halo and Destiny have a impossible mode, but those games are fictional non simulation games.
