All-star difficulty....why am I shooting such a high percentage?

[NYJets89]

I'm playing on all-star difficulty and I feel it is way too easy. The games between me and the cpu are close but it is WAY to easy to make shots. I went 9-11 from beyond the arch with Vujacic and for half of the attempts I was well covered. Also, I was pretty much automatic in nailing mid range jumpers with Deron Williams. I was barely fighting for separation. I'd just pull up to the side of the key and drain everything. The cpu seems to be making a lot of shots also. Do I up the difficulty to superstar? I'm playing 10 minute quarters....also, I'm playing on default not simulation. Do I switch to sim?

Switch to sim, 12 min qtrs. Then you'll see realism.

I was recently experiencing the same.

I then bumped up to Supstar. Big difference.

Up the difficulty.

play on simulation and then u will realize u cant just pull up and take jumpers the entire game.

I play sim with adjusted sliders. Too many missed shots with the shooting sliders on 45. Bump them up to 48 and it's better. I don't call shooting 40-percent sim. I call it boring. There's too many wide open shots that are missed on sim.

I'd rather have games from 45-50 as long as I'm taking smart shots.

Yea I play on sim and it is a world of difference. You really have to work for a shot

that's why 2k included the ability to change the difficulty level the game style in the settings...don't complain that it's too easy when 2k gave you the option to make it harder. if it's too easy for you, change the settings.

It is Stern's fault, you know, what began in the early 2000's...no hand-checking, the defensive 3 second violation and all of that

You should play around with sliders or give The Purist's a try:

I bet you will find the game more enjoyable.
