The BEGINNERS GUIDE TO BEATING the HALL OF FAME CPU in NBA 2K24! 

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.

Had to come back to this video, but after watching it my first time and you simply explaining the push and pull of dribbling and driving. I’ve improved my game tremendously. Thanks Kev

Great video but it doesn’t change the fact that no matter how good you get at this game the AI will just bend the rules even more to ensure you fail.

Learning a lot from you! much enjoyable to play 2k24 because of your tutorial. much love for your channel!

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.

I watched you last year gotta say you've gotten better keep it up bro

Very good video. You are reading your defender at a very high level. My problem is I’m not good at countering after my first initial move. But the is vid has helped!

I was waiting for that , thanks for this golden tutorial

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 🤣

Wow, this video is way more in depth than I expected. I have a question though. How would you recommend someone to learn these skills and in what order? Watching your videos is incredibly helpful, but how do I learn to do it for myself?

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

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

Still need you to beat HOF Kawhi in a 1v1

I still love NBA 2k but with Next Gen they just made it to complicated, the adrenaline bar is just too much you already gotta work hard as it is to get a bucket lol

Yes i needed this

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

And also the screens don’t work at all they pick dodge without the badge lol

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.

Does it matter is I have the controls set to pro stick “dribble moves”’?

I find it easy to get to the basket but getting open on jumpers is tough to get down , but I realized that on HOF even a little space from defender , especially with their hands down or are shorter one you can make a jumper if it’s timed correctly

It’s not fun to play 2k on hall of fame when it doesn’t matter if I smother them or not, I honestly feel I have a higher chance at getting a stop if I leave them wide open then contesting them

8:31 if I did that move I would be yelling all around the house.

W vid. This will help against off ballers too

This game is different from 23 …this A.I reminds me of the 2k16-17 HOF where winning one game against HOF felt like winning a chip ,the cpu is so ruthless.

I'm really enjoying the challenge the cpu gives me. I'm not even playing on HOF lol

Hey Kevin do you know what freelance that the cpu usually uses? They have good actions with shooters running to the top of the key off a screen. And nice options on the wing cutting. I’m curious. I think some might be zipper but I’m not sure

What view are you playing on?

Best Filipino 2k helper💯😀

I play on all star and its so fun but im also pretty good at the game so when i go to the park or rec i don’t really feel a difference in jumpshot timing or anything

Awesome! Hey, Kevin what’s your build’s jump shot animation?

Do you play with normal settings? Looks fast could just be skill lol

11:21 bro this curry move is cross over combo i know, but shooting is moving cross over combo&shoot? or simply hop step jumper? at the moving situation i can't control the crossover combo&the hop step jumper or stepback jumper is not like your video i like iso so your video is very helpful, thanks bro.

Bro I’m scoring 55 points on hall of fame with my SG u are crazy bro please more Videos like this

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.

It doesn’t give me the option to select plays just screen iso and so on nothing else

I need to see you go up against jerry west from the all time lakers team on hof because he’ll give you a taste of how locks reach

Why do my ai just stand around on offense how am I post to make a play when I got ad standing still I got Lebron standing in a corner with 2 defenders on him and here’s me running back n forth tryna create an opening as my ai just watches me while eating popcorn

Impossible to me, after 2 dribbles my player is tired no matter who I use. Already abandoned rec and my park and now they bring that gameplay style to myleague 😭😭😭😭

Let me on your Pro-Am team, I'll try out. I'm basically Draymond

What play did u run in the beginning that got you open for 3

Kevin Cruz... i thought I saw you in one of 2k23 episodes... by any chance did you study in ADMU? Coz i think you might have been my classmate in grade school 😅 now im checking your videos to beat HOF AI in 2K24 😂

The 4pt play is ridiculous, AI gets atleast 3x every single damn game

My biggest problem is how do you make sure the defense isnt clogging the paint? You see how when reaves blows by george he has an open lane because everyone else is in the corners.

Any tips for Superstar / All Time Dom?

Only thing that pisses me off honestly is the heavily contested shots and layups the computer makes but I can’t make anything contested 😂

🔥🔥🔥

Anybody else realizes that if u go on hall of fame settings in the cpu sliders its basically a handicap their ball security is at 100 and yours is like 70 their success shots are way higher than yours and if u change it then it becomes a custom difficulty so explain this please

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.

Jimmy is destroying me with his defense

Can you play a whole mycareer game on hof live so we can see this in real time???

How do you add specific advanced plays to use in my career? I’m only able to use the 4 basic ones

Bruh on hall of fame they'll dribble around u while still trying to get control of the ball from a rebound its crazy that should be a steal every time

Is play now online HOF? Isn't it superstar

Can you talk about the defense? I can't get any steals. I turn the cpu ball security to zero, no steals. I turn it to 100, no steals. My cpu teammates dont even get steals. I have a point guard with 97 steal rating and 2 guard with 92 steal rating. What is going on. What is a good realistic setting for this area or is there another slider that I need to adjust? CPU defense on the other hand is OD. They help 100%, can't blowby anybody. They don't miss shots offensively. This game sucks

On ball ai defense should be bad. Why reward players for not playing the game?

Bro someone please help me.. I been playing 2k since 2k20 and I play mycareer for fun.. once I got the 2k24 gam or the first time ever, I just cant make a running layup in this game.. I can't beat the man defense EVER. someone please help me it feels impossible to drive.

Is more easy get green when u use nba player MP can get green like tht

What’s playbook is that first play from?

4:02 I can never get that jab step to speed boost launch to trigger consistently

turn off the fatigue my way to beat AI in HOF. the challenge is still there.

I just want my players to crash boards when i play cpu vs cpu

I'm playing NBA 2K 21. It's my first game from the NBA series. I've had a few established seasons in Manager Mode with the Bulls and a few with the Pistons. Maybe 10 in total? 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. But I want to focus purely on basketball. I don't think I will enjoy constantly changing tactics during the match. However, NBA 2K is the best crafted sports game I have ever played.

Brah I thout I was tripping 😂😂 so he defense is on steroids this year I can barely hit fucking threes lol. Best way to score for me is to call a screen none stop lol.

I only play vs cpu and pro is too easy and all star is too hard. Can’t hit any shots

On current gen honestly I just abuse screens for an open 3 or assist

Cade Cunningham guide?

Call for pick, throw it to the screener and cut 😂 i put the AI in a pickle everytime they cheatin ass

BETTTTT ai use to be cheeks 😭

i be dropping 50 on the AI ass…. going 17/39😂😂 shit be a ugly 50

We? How many people are playing?

Nope I don’t know about anyone else 2k24 but mines is different. The cpu on my team is trash. They miss shots no defense miss a lot of contested shots etc. it’s being a joke

Yea play against someone whos overall96 and def 99 none of those moves create this openings

Don't need any tips i think if you put it on hall of fame difficulty you just see how bad the gameplay is

every game he shows is 0 0 i dont think he can beat ai on HOF'

Sliders are rigged It's set to disadvantages for the user

First

Giving us more sauce!!! 🫡
