What difficulty setting and do you tweak sliders?

[Mysterious]

I’m wondering what difficulty level everyone else is using. I don’t get an opportunity to play the game a lot and it’s the first basketball game I’ve had many years. Needless to say I’m not that great at it. So I think I’ve been flipping back-and-forth between semi pro and pro… What’s everyone else using? And do you tweak the sliders after picking your difficulty level?

I just stick to Superstar. I believe the game balance is tailored around it.

Superstar is where I’m at right now too. I started on Pro and won by 40, moved up to All Star and won by 40, moved up to Superstar and won by 2.

I start on hof and tweak my sliders to look closer to all star or superstar for now (keeping hof foul sliders), till I get the hang of the game more.

Currently I lowered jumpshot defensive strength sliders significantly for both sides, and also shot timing significantly for both sides (to make shooting easier and to try and mitigate the annoying issue where every made shot is a swish).

Generally play second hardest with heavily modified sliders. I use RP% for shooting with tweaks here and there.

Started with superstar default, now using eccentric's sliders.

I don't know what impact if any the difficulty you start from plays.

I play hall of fame and avoid doing cheesy stuff that I know would work on the CPU.


I adjust sliders to help CPU awareness and mental things to take that edge away from myself.


I always lower acceleration and create a wider gap between the high and low acceleration and speed sliders, so slow guys never catch fast guys on fast breaks (and so that Brook Lopez will always be food if they switch him on Kyrie).

Allstar/Superstar with slider tweaks plus tendency/playbook edits.

Hall of fame difficulty with default sliders, shot timing/no meter

I’m on superstar in franchise and I’m 11-7 with the modern bulls. I’m enjoying it but the cpu cheeses the paint. I give up like 60-70 and once 86 points in the paint. And that’s with adjusting the slider tendencies and raising defense help. So that’s my biggest and only complaint so far.

This year I encourage everyone to play Hall of Fame unless you have some disability (not sounding bogus, but I mean if you have the ability to move the sticks...) I think they did great with the cpu, sure, they do some WILD STUFF, but it doesn't feel cheesy. A lot of fouls, tho.

Lol I’m laughing at your post and don’t take this the wrong way but I actually have a disability lol. Quadriplegic in a wheelchair with impaired dexterity in my hands so I’m not as quick on the buttons as the rest of you. Doesn’t mean I can’t play with some efficiency just not as quick as somebody with perfect dexterity. Maybe I’ll try higher difficulty for better realism and then just tweak some sliders. Thanks for the reply’s. Again no offence to your post I found it funny and actually laughed out loud. [emoji846]

What settings are you using for Speed and Acceleration? Those sound really helpful.

Yes I second this !

Re: What difficulty setting and do you tweak sliders?

Has there been confirmation regarding "under the hood" aspects of difficulty?

Say I set the difficulty to HOF then adjust every slider so both user/cpu are on 50.
Difficulty will say custom.
What if I do the same thing only this time the difficulty is on rookie.

Would there be any difference?
