Hall of fame difficulty

Hi, same questions different year, are your teammates dumb? do they misstime their shot even when they are wide open? does your star players play like late second round picks?

yes, because the sliders are set that way. You can look at them in the options. HoF/Superstar is a waste of time if you don't invest $200 or more..

Online gameplay isn’t even on HOF difficulty so why bother against A.I

The AI still cheats but at least with the 'momentum' meter it's not quite as egregious. No point playing on anything but rookie/5mins though for grinding since it's getting through seasons as fast as possible that rewards the most.

Exactly my point. i’m only telling him not to stress about HOF since P2P games aren’t even on that difficulty level.

I agree. As someone who is new to playing the game from an enthusiast level of huge time commitment, I'd say the skill check from pro to all star is even too big. I can easily get a 40 or more point win on pro but can struggle to win by the 10 to 15 in all star if I'm not paying attention.

What I find the most frustrating is the inconsistency in gameplay from an algorithm standpoint. Shots that would be perfect will not land or steals or blocks that should or shouldn't occur will occur to keep the gameplay closer to what it determines it should be. Like I understand the statistics and go through all the settings on the difficulties and I appreciate all that. It's incredibly in depth and offers amazing customization. It's just the dice rolls occurring by EA Ai that I don't like at all.
