[C-NICE]

I like this 2k gameplay wise the results history doesn’t work and I still don’t see my perfection trophy but I’m playing every night. Holla if anybody want competition xbox gamer tag cnice5

Nba 2k18 on Hall of fame difficulty is by far the most real basketball experience ever.

shyt is hard as fukk, but if you put in the time to create a playbook, set defensive schemes and adjust your rotations its like playing a real NBA game. Player Ratings like Defensive IQ and Defensive consistency suddenly start to matter.

Currently playing Myleague with drafted current and historic teams with this starting five.

PG- Lillard
SG - McGrady
SF- Hayward
PF- Mircotic
C - Shaq

With Dragic, Lou Williams and Al Horford coming off the bench

shyt is fun as hell

Hell naw I looked at the sliders they using and them mfers beyond arcadey. They boosted the ball security defensive and offensive awareness for the cpu then all the shooting sliders at 50 that’s how the cpu can bomb contested jumpers and because they boost their stats as well . The games i do win on hof be frustrating as hell

Yeah the sliders favor the CPU like crazy. Leave the Sliders as they are but up the assist - D under contoller settings. I put mine at 50 and my players actually contest the shots.

Maybe your Team just needs better defenders. Theres a reason Andre Roberson is a Starter on the Thunder and 3 and D Guys get paid so much.

Or just make a Custom Team to get the hang of the Defense

PG - Payton
SG - Jordan
SF - Pippen
PF - Olaj
C - Wilt

I gurantee the AI will shoot less than 50%

Nah I just do the player lock with the hornets, just typical 2k shyt especially when playing someone like the blazers suddenly the whole starting 5 bombing 3s. I try not over do it with fantasy teams

Bought it for the ps4 today and I actually like it. I don't mind the cpu being superhuman on offense, because that's the only way they'll beat me. I played a few games and the scores for both teams were under 100pts, I get bored if I start scoring 145.

bro, I've played these nikkas TWICE and EVERYBODY on their squad, except for the center, bombs threes with the slightest of separation. The cpu is just deadly with them.

I had to turn both games off b/c I was down by 20 points before I knew it. And my defenders were basically useless.

Even the Warriors can't hit threes like the Blazers

I get that, but it will help you understand that you can in fact beat hall of fame offenses when you have the right team.

What you need to understand is that the HOF offenses are most dangerous from the 3 during Transition. So in order to stop those you need to limit their transition chances which means stop bricking long 3 pointers yourself which lead to long rebounds. And if you miss don't send everybody in to rebound, get your players back on D and stop the ball. I sometimes intentionally foul when I notice I have no chance of stoping them.

Just think like a coach and you will see improvements. You guys don't know what you are missing playing below HOF. That shyt is so much fun.

I can beat them only if I can outlast these three things: threes,And-1s, them being in the limit like 4 minuets into a quarter. Rebounding just they still haven’t made it so your guys don’t box out. I managed to beat the rockets but they gave me hell lol. Harden cp3 ariza and Anderson kept them around enough

[ConPHIdential]
