My Career CPU HOF needs a patch

[alphawill]

It can't just be me. .The amount of contact shots the cpu makes is outrageous. .they make upwards of 80% of these type of shots. .not to mention they get more offensive rebounds a game then my team gets defensive rebounds. ...with these 2 factors how is it even possible to play sim basketball or any type of realistic basketball. ...This needs a patch ASAP

This has been a hot discussion since launch. Just lower the difficulty to Superstar until you rank up your player. I went through the same thing. Don't get me wrong, HOF still definitely needs tweaking but I am able to be more efficient in the difficulty now.

In the meantime, trust me, drop down to Superstar. You'll enjoy the game more.

Re: My Career CPU HOF needs a patch

I was having the same issue until recently. Figured out the only way for my team in My Career to win or have a close game is to take off auto play calling and just pick and roll the cpu to death on every single play. I don't know why but my cpu teammates play better when I set picks. It's the only way so far I've found to counter the HOF cheese.

Hall of fame wasn't meant to be fair, and not even designed to be played in MyCareer. If you don't have control of every player, it's going to be tough to stop the HOF AI. If you're not the primary ballhandler, it's going to be impossible to score at the same pace as the AI does.

Don't play on HOF. Problem solved. Leave HOF to those that want a true challenge that other difficulties can't provide them. It's arrogant to demand that the hardest difficulty be made easier just because you feel it's too unfair. It's supposed to be unfair.

It's certainly not just him that feels it's unfair and unrealistic. It's probably him and thousands of others, myself included.

Your statement comes off a lot more arrogant than his.

You're right it is suppose to be harder..The hardest ..but saying it should be unfair is ridiculous.The game shouldn't become cheesy to simply make it harder if anything you should have to play the game more sim like to keep up with difficulty.In games whatever genre it may be there's something that can be used to combat the difficulty of the game .In this there's absolutely nothing you can do to stop the CPU team from getting all these offensive boards over your team and stop them when they throw up circus shots and make them at a rate better than the good shots they take ..it's just bad

But I will give you this ...maybe you're right about HOF not being meant for MyCareer and needing to control everyone on your team to combat the opposing CPU team

Re: My Career CPU HOF needs a patch

It's not just HOF, it's Pro on up. It's ridiculous. I really can't see how anyone that plays MC can say it's not an issue.

Re: My Career CPU HOF needs a patch

Beware of attacking HOF cheese on this game or you'll be attacked by "sliders" defenders and people saying to lower the difficulty. That seems to be the only response to something that shouldn't exist on a sports-sim. There is never a counter argument that includes real basketball strategy, it's just always "adjust the sliders" or "lower the difficulty." smh Shouldn't successful basketball strategies used in real life be successful in a sim-basketball game regardless of difficulty? Maybe I'm the crazy one for expecting that.

Re: My Career CPU HOF needs a patch

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?

Re: My Career CPU HOF needs a patch

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.

Re: My Career CPU HOF needs a patch

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

Always play MC in HoF but after loosing too many games I decided to play a couple in Superstar to try it out. I find there's a huge leap between the 2 levels of difficulty; SS ending up to be very easy.
I love the way your player is challenged in HoF. This I don't find in SS.

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.

HOF should be difficult but rewarding

This I agree!

Re: My Career CPU HOF needs a patch

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.
