How does the difficulty compare to last year

Hope this isn't seen as a dumb question, I'm just wondering how people view the differences in difficulty from last year to this year. I was at the point to where I was winning games on Superstar regularly but for the most part they were competitive. This year I played a few games on Pro on default setting that seemed pretty close but MAYBE too easy. Superstar didn't seem all that great because it played the same except my team didn't make jump shots. Wondering if All-Star is this year's Superstar from last year or if this is all in my head?

I find it slightly more difficult, maybe owing to the fact that I haven't figured out any of the near definite ways to score pretty much every possession. Defense I find slightly easier. 2K16 with a good perimeter defender had me feeling like a claw, I'd just kinda lock into the opponent and stop drives, last year I found iso plays against good guards or SFs to be tough. This year a good balance.

I got one answer. I got absolutely smoked. I was using an All Time Chicago Bulls against the Warriors and got my bell rung by 30 points on All Star. The CPU is def more hard to beat. I felt cheated a few times though they just didn't miss. But overall I lost because I did not play smart. The A.I. makes you work no doubt.

Superstar is harder this year but it awesomely balanced. The best thing about this year's gameplay is that there is a big degree of unpredictability, I mean in previous years I knew I would win almost all games with good team and that fact took something special out of game. This year I really enjoy the challenge.

Everything is so cool with this game I play non stop and it makes me happy lol, only if they for once could deliver MyLeague without any major bugs...

I believe it is more difficult, especially for ai teammates, which is good. Last year I had to play on a higher difficulty level, superstar, than I really wanted to, just to get accurate results in mycareer. This year I can play on a level more suited to my skills, or lack thereof, and get an appropriate outcome.

I love that I can no longer go 25-5 with a bad team. Now I am having a difficult time winning, even on pro, with my 65 pg. And that is how it should be.
