Is it the difficulty or my skill

[Zastrin]

I am playing Association with the Nets. I played 50 games (2010-11 season): All-Star/Sim, Cutch Factor On, Real Player % Freethrow Shooting. Ended the year with a 36-46 record

I am now in my second year, I played 17 games (including Preseason). I am currently 11-0, 11 game winning streak. I made moves in the offseason, my players progressed from the following year. I am crushing teams left and right. However, with this same team I have put together, I lost three games in the preseason.

11-0, #1 in Power Ranking. The games are beginning to feel too easy.

PG- D-Will 95
SG- Anthony Morrow 72
SF- Travis Outlaw 79
PF- Paul Millsap 86
C- Brook Lopez 87

I almost lost to the Atlanta Hawks, but beat them at the very end 109-107.

Now is it me playing good, or do I need to boost the difficulty. I was losing a lot of games with the Nets the previous year, but now I am dominating (11-0).

It's both. I would consider going after a new slider set (I'm using Redlogic's Hall of Fame sliders, I don't think you'll be crushing teams for a bit if you go with them). You don't want the game to be impossible, but crushing teams isn't exactly fun either.

I understand the fun factor of the game, but what about realism. What if I was using the Miami Heat and I was playing against the Raptors? I am supposed to dominate, its expected. The Raptors having the Heat at their mercy is just unrealistic. I am thinking its the team, the Nets I put together, they are just a contender this year. The Nets previous year were like 72-74 overall, maybe 76 tops. Right now I am at 83 overall.

If I go 25-0 and unlock that achievement for Reward Points, I will consider the sliders - thanks for your input.

I've been tossing that problem around too. I'd love to set sliders to add a bit of a challenge, but I want it to all be realistic. I don't like games that are hard just to be hard. I want to have to fight hard against teams who are better and roll over those teams who aren't. Let me know if you figure out anything

Well I just lost to the Suns(away game) who gave me a problem earlier in the month... 108-89. I am facing the Thunder(away) right now.

11-1

I have the same issue as the OP. I'm playing as the TWolves on HOF and am about to win the championship in my 2nd year. I'm the 1 seed. I do have losses but they're few and far between.

Sliders are sim but I upped the CPUs 3pt Accuracy.

I started tweaking sliders even more but then it just gets UNREALISTIC as you start blowing open layups.

I'd suggest Redlogics HOF sliders.

let me ask you something, what are the cpu's freethrow attempts vs your own....
