Help With Superstar Difficulty

[wiser66]

I started my season on all-star difficulty but it felt a little too easy so I bumped it up to superstar for the last 4 games. The first 2 were great games that came down to the wire but I ended up losing...I enjoyed those because I felt I had played well but just got beat down the stretch. Now the last 2 games it has felt impossible to stop the CPU on any possession. When they miss they get the offensive rebound. When I block one of their shots it magically bounces towards one of their players. They have made 2 half-court shots on me in 2 games. It has gotten ridiculous. Anyone have any suggestions for me on defense? I have tried on-ball, off-ball, and pretty much everything. Please help!!

I hear you dude, it can be ridiculous! The only thing that I can offer is to never get so mad you lose your focus and start getting ineffective, and treat every possession like it is a game winning opportunity.

I appreciate the advice but my offense has at least been decent...still putting up 45-50 points a half. It's my defense that has really taken a hit, giving up at least 60 a half. I even have the #1 ranked defense, not by stats, but by the players I have. Anybody have advice for the defense?

Agreed, I played on all-star and it's a bit too easy, not too much to where I still don't have a lot of fun but a bit too easy, but superstar difficulty is ridiculously hard. I stood no chance against them in any game I played, and I was playing as my Miami Heat. Frustrated me that I couldn't make any passes and they could make some ridiculous passes. I hate it because I was being very careful and focused on each and every pass but I would turn it over at least five times a quarter, and the other team would end up with maybe ten turnovers in the game, total. It was simply too much to overcome.

Did you use any sliders on All-Star? Also, did you use shot-stick timing or real fg %? Thanks.

It's the Consistent slider put that to "0" because if thats at 50 then the CPU will go on unrealistic runs, making any and everything. With that slider at 0 the game feels much more realistic and the CPU still goes on runs but there a lot more realistic, and i play on All-Star with custom slider.

Thanks for the advice...I'll have to try this out and see if it helps.

I feel ya, I'll give dropping the consistency down to 0 a try. Usually if I can sense that the CPU is going to just cheat the whole game I'll just restart the game so I don't get ripped off.
