Pro v AllStar v Superstar

[gottibino]

can some1 please explain to me specific differences between these 3 sets of difficulty? Obviously I understand a lot has to do w the players ability BUT id like to know how differently the cpu acts or plays on these levels...
THANKS to ALL who can help me better understand the specifics.

All I know is on Superstar and HOF YOUR key physical ratings are decreased I noticed my guys getting caught from behind in BS situations, and the CPU hitting shots they shouldn't make consistently, and I just don't see that on All-Star.

Also the momentum swings are heavily in favor of the CPU on Superstar and above. Got a 12 point lead? Too bad, because Michael Jordan is going to possess your opponent's best player and go on a rampage, while you miss every shot and free throw. This is significantly toned down in AS and Pro. I just think All-star is the best stage to tweak from.

So to sum it up, I'd say as you go up to superstar the CPU gets more momentum swings, and your key physical attributes are nerfed more.

i think pro is the most "fair" in terms of not getting CPU boosts, but alot of people, me included, dont think the CPU is aggressive enough on that setting

I agree, I've felt that way for a long time, but I could never get that killer instinct from the CPU on PRO regardless of what sliders I used.

I play on Pro w Sim slider settings. The CPU is plenty aggressive for me.

I'm 9-11 in my Pacers association and the Kings just shot 40 free throws, had 60 points (scored 120) in the paint w Cousins raping me for 25 pts and 20 Rebs. They shot 47% for the game and 36% from 3.

Maybe I'm just terrible but I don't see how folks can play on Superstar, etc and get any enjoyment out of CPU cheats against them. I'll stick w Pro.
