That's been talked about many times. You find a lot of guys have strong opinions both ways. I think the only thing that folks tend to agree on is the percentages go down a little when you use real player percentage vs. shot stick.
I prefer the real % for that reason. However I've started to play a fair amount of My team and since real % isn't a option I have just decided to go shot stick all the way for all the game modes and let it be what it is.

That's just an excuse to not play at the highest level. Shorten the time then.

Game on hall of fame, simulation sliders 12 minutes.

Or maybe people play this game for entertainment.
Virgin is hosting the 100 k tournament, go show everyone how inferior they are.

Anywho, all-star/sim feels like a realistic game and I really enjoy it this year =)

Jeez give it a rest already. The whole "people don't play on this mode cuz they suck, i'm da best mane" nonsense is so overused and played out. How many times does it need to be said "just because someone doesn't like playing on HoF doesn't mean it's because they can't win, often times it's because they don't like how the game plays on HoF, regardless of if they win." Realistic basketball>HoF mode. This high and mighty attitude needs to stop.

I play on superstar with tweaked custom sliders(turned down reach in foul rate for the computer and myself, turned down the dunk in traffic slider for everyone etc.). Back in the day i used to only use default sliders and play on HoF but i've found i get more realistic and enjoyable bball with superstar custom sliders. Of course there can still be a lot of nonsense though.

I agree 100%...apparently Coach2k feels the need to display his small **** complex on video game forums

As far as that goes, I know it's a broken record. I'm telling you I am not that good. I bet more than half you guys could beat me no problem. You guys can play better.

I don't care what mode you play on. I like playing on Rookie as I stated above because it is a blast.

If I see something that I don't believe is true, I might call it out. You can get realistic scores on hall of fame mode. To say you can't, misleads people.

Sorry to offend you.

Take it from someone who used to play on HoF mode all the time, playing on HoF doesn't necessarily guarantee you're playing better, winning or not. You know how many guys i've ran into in online team up, online association, and online quick matches that play on HoF that aren't that good? Hell the private online association i got invited to and played in(before i left because of cheesy playstyles) was set to HoF difficulty, and everyone in there played on HoF. None of them were very good though. I won my first match, lost my second barely, and then won my next 3 before quitting. I blew out a couple of guys honestly and a lot of them cheesed. HoF does not equal playing better, it's not that simple.
