*At first I felt like everything was "clicking" (sorry for the pun) at these multiples of 4, so I sort of got stuck on them...

*I would like to venture back towards default simulation, but I want to feel like I have more ability to affect shots, like in the old College Hoops games on last-gen (i'm talking 2k5 here kiddos, respect!) I don't know how to mess with GATHER vs. RELEASE, but if I were to vary those from a basketball perspective I would think you'd have to be stronger on GATHER (if someone gets there late, it's probably and usually too late in the NBA). I have continued to err on the aggressive side because of the way I like to play, but it's gotten frustrating. That's why contact shot success may also have to come up. Maybe try 64-68 for both? Or, as with the rest of the All-Star cheating, they may just have to stay at 72 for USER and 60 for CPU!

Maybe try 80/64, 80/64, and 72/60, 72/60. I always used to think AWR would have this sort of effect...

*However, USER has got to maintain some sort of physical boost over the CPU on All-Star. I'm thinking maybe a 50/40 in those that are currently 48/36.

*I don't know if I think CPU gets skill advantages in All-Star. I would prefer to only touch OAWR and DAWR and leave ball-handling, hands, on-ball defense, etc. equal on both sides. As of right now I'm not convinced that this can be done, and I also don't know how much the AWR can be touched. Maybe trying 60/40 on the skills and then 70/30 or 75/25 in the AWR department?
