Are HoF and Superstar difficulties bs?

[farhannius]

I'm starting to win a bit too much on all star now and am thinking of moving up to superstar difficulty. But I'm a bit hesitant to do that because I've head a lot of bad things about superstar and HoF. Are those difficulty settings as scripted and as bad as they're made out to be?

depends what mode u're playing, if u play as the all team u should be fine with it, if u play as only 1 player, get ready to see the dumbest decisions ever from ur teammates

Absolutely. Heck, even All-Star is crooked.

I only play on HOF and I can tell you it's hit or miss. Some games it's like everything goes the way you want, other games every shot rims out and passes get intercepted like crazy.

Prepare to play smart with the lead, I've blown a 20+ point leads in the 4th with 5 minutes left on HOF before.

Agreed, I've never played anything other than HOF. All the other levels are like D-League users in my opinion. If you want to be good in 2K, I think you should play on HOF cause you HAVE to bring your A game. I've gone in association modes where if I'm not bringing it, I will get ran out the gym. Of course many people complain about it being too, "unrealistic" and this and that and blah blah blah, IMO, they suck at 2K lol.

You'll notice a difference when you play someone who plays HOF all the time compared to someone who plays all-star. It's just what the name says, the all-star will play like an all-star, (Kevin Love) where the HOF will play like a HOF (Wilt Chamberlain).

HOF is difficult if you don't know how to create openings & time your shot. For Example last night in my Association with the Pistons, i faced my old team the Wizards in Game 7 of the East Finals. Perry Jones was already drafted there while i was controlling the wizards,but when i took control of the pistons i made a few trades the prior season that gave me a few 1 yr players that were making a ton of money so that way by Free Agency there contracts would be up & i'd be able to have a ton of money to re-sign Greg monroe as well as Sign upcoming FA Carmelo Anthony to make a playoff push. Well my pistons with Melo & Jones finished the season with .500 record making us the 6th seed in the east. In that Game 7 i played,I had a commanding 14 pt lead with 7 minutes left in the game. Suddenly i was missing key shots,& the CPU ran the fast brk beating out my fastest players with there slowest for fast break points,or when i had my defense set they were pulling up baseline shooting a rainbow & swishing,making every contact shot/layup with the foul,& my lead was down to 3 with 40 seconds left. I ran the clock down to 25 i think & wide open missed a jumper with Melo with perfect timing they rebounded called T.O. they inbound to Wall swing it to Kemba Walker (who i drafted for them) & he hit a 3 that went thru Melo's hand when i tried blocking it. I have ball with 4 seconds inbound to Jones,take a wide open stepback in the right corner & miss easily to go into OT. In O.T. i won by 4 but HOF time after time proves unrealistic play. In that stretch where they came back in the 4th i had 0 Rebounds in 7 minutes because they never missed! I've loved HOF since day 1 but i do think it's very poor to play if you expect a 40 rebound 45 percent shooting for both teams type of game.

I deffinently agree, I play on HOF & it proves worthy against online users. But I disagree with your point of view of how people suck at 2k. Yes,alot of people are'nt that good but saying they suck at a videogame is comical to me because if i sucked it's because i'm to busy living life where videogames was'nt my top priority fortunately for me i have a life & still am a natural at basketball games maybe because i'm good at it in real life. I know you meant people that dedicate there lives to videogames & still suck are the 1's that suck but there's better ways to go about it. Insulting a core of people for no reason because they play a videogame on All Star & not HOF is a bad choice. I'm not Insulting you neither d11king because you got great point of views on most posts but i'm just letting you know that your words would start a war of opinions.
