My biggest "beef" with the way CPU HOF works is this... it affects you and your teammate AI... not just the opponent CPU.
- The opponent CPU gets attribute boosts.
- Your teammate CPU appear to get massive attribute deductions (if not to everything then definitely to their actual "intelligence"). They make braindead zombies seem like a better choice as teammates.
- Your shooting timing narrows down making it harder to make shots.
I'm perfectly fine with the opponent CPU getting boosts. It's the fact that you yourself are basically being handicapped to make things "harder" that annoys me.
A good example of what CPU difficulty should be like is how Quake 3 CPU bots were. They had ridiculous accuracy... but worked within the "laws" of the game. You yourself weren't affected. For the most part, the AI in Q3 wasn't spectacular... but compared to the CPU teammates you get in 2k15, I think I might actually choose the AI from a 1999 game over 2k15 teammates.
