Bro AI is RIDICULOUS. I’m here for the challenge the only thing that gets me is the unguardable 3 pointers smh. They don’t even need a lights out shooter to make contested 3s. They also juiced the AI shotclock countdown shots they will literally make the shot regardless of the defense u less u literally block the ball or foul

Game (2k24) ain't no good when everybody's defense is elite smh. Don't make any sense. You'll have a defender on you who is a terrible defender in real life, but locking you down like Gary Payton (Sr). If you ever notice some of the weirdest, craziest things CPU do on HOF. Like how quick they are able to shuffle their feet from left to right on defense man to man and you aren't able to do the same. How they able to recover very fast on defense, when you done blew by them especially smh. When you aren't able to do that either. 2k servers definitely set this game up to make you fail intentionally, that's what's the most frustrating thing about it. Is how they'll have the CPU playing so overpowering, while they have you playing like you just don't know basketball or don't know how to play the game. And really it's because you keep getting better at their game and beating their game, so they gotta make it more competitive. Like basketball in real life can only get competitive to a certain point. Like there is no reason of overpowering the game, players in real life don't be doing the things they do on the game. That just ruins the fun and the realness of basketball in the game. And it's a reason why 2k are losing so many people. Because they refuse to fix their game, it's alot of issues in the game. Don't get me wrong, I can definitely play the game, without shot meter at that. It's just, who wants to keep spamming the game in order to win. That ain't fun and that ain't basketball and it's why people play with top tier teams most of the time. Because of the advantages that superstar and star players have with the badge assets on the game. Low tier teams are very disavantageous and it's disrespectful to them. It's like 2k only cared about the popular teams.

Hey Kev, do you recommend layup meter on or off? Also do you use the layup timing option ?

The problem here is that you shouldn't have to play like an AND1 streetballer to break down or get past the defender. You should be able to use positioning, momentum, and your first step like Jordan, Kobe, or TMac to get past a defender from the triple threat position.

@KevinCruz016

You're able to do that. I can't count the amount of times a simple jab step cross launch was more than enough to get me an advantage against the main defender. Beating the next help rotation requires you to read the defense though, and that's where it gets tougher for most

I have yet to see it. Theres was an animation where, much like kyrie, you could swing the ball low from a triple threat and use that to move around a defender. Very realistic, of course now using the defenders momentum is damn near impossible. Centers recover from head fakes and jab steps as though they were guards and guards all show up on defense like there all goddamn jrue holiday

I love that that play menu bc you can make your own actions and flow through the offend e

Is there a way you could teach us how to consistently beat the rec AIs? I hate randoms chucking up shots just because they can’t get open

I will admit it’s allot better than last year with competition. AI in 2k23 was not good at all. It was easy for me to shutdown star players in iso situations, if u jab step u get an automatic wide open 3 because they drop back, I would smoke them by 30 or more every game it was very boring after a while. Now in 2k24 I was losing by 30 every game 🤣

I'm actually looking for ways on how to stop the HOF AI on defense in 2K24. For me, offense is not really a problem, as there are a lot of things you can do on that end. What's striking is that in the 2K24 HOF difficulty, you're basically way more handicapped on the defensive end. It's 10 times harder to defend the 2K24 HOF than the 2K23 HOF. Here is why I think it's very hard to beat the HOF AI in 2K24: - In 2K24, the Shot Coverage Impact is set at 30 and the Shot Timing Impact is set at 0, meaning that your defense is basically nonexistent, and the AI doesn't have to green shots to make them. - In 2K23, the Shot Coverage Impact and the Shot Timing Impact are set at 50, meaning you have a bit of presence on the defensive end. I've so far played 5 10-minute-quarter games in 2K24 at HOF difficulty and I won just two of them, one of which went to overtime. It's so hard to play.

The ai is beatable with the right strategy and players. Need a strong big who can drop step, need a great penetrator who can get contested layups and dunks, you need a really good 3 shooter, a great passing pg, and a great wing defender and interior defender. You drive and score off iso’s, you run cuts all day, run pick and rolls/fades, run screens for your shooters, and only shoot wide open jump shots lol. It’s a boring style after a while but it’s really effective at beating them. Play great on ball defense too that’s the other pre-requisite. Play for as many fast break points as possible.

I can explain. Changed that as soon as I caught on. Change it to 50 for yours and theirs. Ball security on hall of fame for you is a 30 and for the CPU it's 100. That means that when you have the ball and collide with a player you might lose the ball just from coming in contact with them. It's ridiculous. Change it to 50 50 for sure and that's the most fair number for both sides in that category

One thing thats annoying is how much the contest system changes for AI defenders. Hands in their face register as open, but an average defender sitting 6 feet away with a very late contest will get 10-30% contest on jumpers.

I always played about 5-7 matches and deleted and start again. So maybe 50 matches in total? I always played as a rookie. When I started, I had very exciting games for the Bulls against the Lakers, for example. I returned to the NBA a few days ago. I play for the Pistons. And for the rookie level I have 8 wins in a row. I never had that before. At first I thought it was a coincidence. But I have really improved. So I'll try Pro. Maybe another one. I don't know how I'm going to improve.
