cpu ever score legitimately?

[thuglife74]

i consider myself a good defender in this stupid game, but umm... the only way the cpu ever scores on me is through up & unders, contested 3's that seem to gin seamlessly, perfectly contested jumpers at the buzzer and fast breaks where the cpu "decides" that they're going to score - either going for the baseline jumper (nash over howard wtf), the lay up or dunk without an open lane in sight, or the ai just makes my guy JOG down the court while his man super duper cpu turbos.

i'm venting, but does anyone else feel this way? i never feel like i'm playing against players, it's always 'outsmart and outplay the cpu'

for 2k13 there needs to be a 'undo' button. if the cpu bulls***s you, you can undo it. god d***it 2k.

Re: cpu ever score legitimately?

What difficulty are you playing on? And which slider set are you using?

Re: cpu ever score legitimately?

I can hold my own online, but can rarely win on even PRO against the CPU.

It's flat out ridiculous. They waste all 24 seconds on every shot clock, and then make the shot at the shot clock buzzer 85% of the time. And when they miss? Offensive rebound. 24 more seconds gone, and then a contested 3 by someone that can't shoot. Yesterday I had Andrew Bogut knock down a 3 on me. Playing Steph Curry is an absolute nightmare. He pours in 30+ and misses only 0-1 shot per game. It's absolutely insane.

I have some of the same issues in my player mode what I found is that you have to link stops together if they start scoring and get momentum its over for you. And there are some games in the season where your not going to win great.d or not but even in those games the computer will show a weakness and you can come.back with super strong play no turnovers and making all shots

Turn up your Offensive/Defensive Awareness, and turn down the cpu's Offensive/Defensive Awareness is the easiest tweak I've found to tuning the gameplay to taste. Problem solved.

Not really I have yet to see any roster, or slider or any difficulty (Even Rookie) fix the up and unders. Lol Like I always say When the cpu HAS to make a play Trust me, they'll find a way.

i play on all star, all sliders at 50 except clutch factor which is set @ zero. i can't imagine how much bs must happen on HOF.

yes! i'll play perfect d the whole possession against them, contest their prayer perfectly and WHAM - all net. w-t-f...

you're actually right - i don't call timeouts when i should. mainly because i'm kicking something and cursing this game out when the bs happens. i don't mind losing, but not when it's BS!

sounds a little unfair - and with the cpu awareness down, they prob won't see open men.

couldn't have said it better myself. it's like if you miss in the paint, they're running a train on you and you don't have a choice.

No offense, but why do you think the sliders are there in the first place? Seems like a case of misplaced pride. I used to be that way; getting a sense of accomplishment in trying to beat a game on it's hardest setting w/o adjustments. Until I asked myself why the hell I was purposely choosing to frustrate myself. Outside of trying to get difficulty-based achievements, it makes no sense to not tune [any game] to your liking.

You feel cheated by the cpu, but feel it's "unfair" to adjust/tweak what the cpu is capable of to make for a less frustrating experience...? It's not like the cpu doesn't know what you're doing at any given time. It has to be dumbed down in such a way to give you illusion it doesn't.

Re: cpu ever score legitimately?

Nah the only thing on hall of fame is your jumpers less lightly to fall, and you have to always run sets in the fourth quarter. Idk if you've seen the da_Czar videos on shot contesting and on-ball defense. They explain alot. I know you have clutch factor set at zero but maybe you should turn it off. You can always turn real jump shot percentage. I haven't used that setting but maybe you should try it.

Re: cpu ever score legitimately?

i play without the patch and the AI at times makes crazy shots, but alot of times the shots are legit. Patch free 2k12 is so amazing man.

Yes this game works mainly with momentum, but calling timeouts and slowing the game down makes everything feel so right.

Offline this game is great...im in a never ending series with 89 lakers vs celtics and kereem sucks lol..

Re: cpu ever score legitimately?

exact timeout is important and def parameter sometimes must be changed.

but now i feel the moment when CPU will make a BS and i stop to defend and i let it do what it want during 5 scdes. I don't wait the end of 24 scdes. if there is a bad shot it's not important i have to make a basket after my bad defense( if i don't defend).

but we forget all the possibilites of def if a PG has the ball and will make a BS, R1 + X = double team, he passes the ball to a teammate in the paint and there is just 2 pts and not a 3 pts at the buzzer.
Or play a quick def with left pad, choose one of the four def for example call protect perimeter maybe it can avoid CPU to do BS.

You can do anything sometimes again CPU and it's Bull****, but sometimes it's funny because it's just impossible and sometimes there is some lucky jumpshot good, as for example Harden Yesterday night in final!! but when it happened to me now i don't want to break everything around me contrary to the past, i think it's funny because i'm not surprised about BS in this game!!

but I have ever seen Ewing make a 3 pt shot in the game at the buzzer this kind of shot are not normal and all the shot quoted in the first post of this thread!

Re: cpu ever score legitimately?

If the cpu is hitting crazyness I found the best way to stop it is use hands up instead of triangle to contest shots. They never miss if u use triangle on HOF.

i once seen tim duncan hit a game tying 3 in the playoffs with no time left in real life

I felt that until I play with the sim world roster and sliders. I've never played such a well balance game of 2k before. Especially on 2k12, to me the ratings and tendencies really make or break these sports games. 2k12 had and still has terrible default ratings and tendencies. I also felt the way they made the default sim sliders was suspect.

Re: cpu ever score legitimately?

I get the CPU making a run and me missing shots but when I begin to loose the ball, throw terrible passes, get ripped by PF & C's, fall down while dribbling, can't get a rebound yet PG's jumping over big men is crazy.

I played with Rondo and when the CPU was running the CPU stole the ball 3 times in 4 plays, I lost the ball twice, he fell down when I was trying to shoot, not to mention his passes wasn't even close (pass is at 100).

I forgot to mention I do call timeouts, attack the rim, and play great D!
