HELP!!! Difficulty Oddities NBA LIVE 18

[CMDM828]

Ok...I am a lifetime Live Player and am confused. I play Franchise 12 min qtrs and everything is is default except I change FT to Rating Only & I turn off Stick Shooting and play the old fashioned way. Well when I'm on PRO I can't lose. My D just kills the CPU but my Offense plays perfectly. Well...on All Star My D is just as good but my gus miss everything. 3s aren't close....I miss layups and when I do make shots under the hoop they usually rattle in. I just played the 1st qtr of a game and it was 8-4 us with 5 mins left. I must have blocked 10 shots and once again the offense sucked. Can anyone recommend any help with this. I hate sliders but maybe someone has a good set with a history of rrealistic. Help plz.

Had a similar issue. I could still win on All Star, but my shooting percentages were way too low, especially around the rim. Fun factor went out the window. The difficulty jump felt artificial, not a natural progression. So I just said the hell with it and dropped down to Pro. I changed the sliders to a 30/70 (USER/CPU) split with sliders (mostly offensive related) and that seemed to help make games a bit closer. Actually lost a game to the Warriors earlier this week.
