    Anyone think Starter is fairer?

    It's been about 5 years since I last played Live, with football and baseball sort of taking over, but recently I got back in to playing basketball. I bought Live 09 because I've never been a fan of 2Ks style, and I've been playing some pretty competitive games on Starter difficulty to begin, with different teams.

    Then I played a FIBA game, England v Argentina on 5 minute quarters. In the 3rd I kept Argentina to 0 points on 0-8 shooting and won 39-22. So I thought I better try All-Star difficulty.

    Man I wish I didn't!

    On All-Star the CPU continually gets easy short range jumpers, and sometimes I miss 4 or 5 layups in a row, and open J's aren't dropping. I wouldn't mind if I got beat fair and square, but this is ridiculous. It seems that to make it harder, the CPU has to cheat by driving to the basket and getting layups in traffic instead of executing plays. IMO, Starter is alot more like a fair game with both teams having a chance to win if they are evenly matched. The CPU goes to the basket, but not so often and only when theres the opportunity.

    Has anyone else has found this?

    I haven't played on starter since the day I got the game. It's just way to easy to score. Allstar is where i play most of the time. I win most of my games but the games are fairly close most of the time.

    Superstar on the other hand is sick. If I play my "A" game I do good to win about half the games.

    If you stick to starter you'll most likely just keep having blow outs.

      I agree, superstar is so stupid man, no matter what team u use, what team u play, u still have close game or u lose by a lot, allstar is okay, u will win once in a blue moon, but superstar is just unrealstic...btw I set all the defensive slider to 100 for both user and cpu to make it more challenging.

        I just leave it on the default setting and adjust the sliders accordingly to create realistic statistics. I just hate turning up the difficulty because the game becomes cheap. It's harder because it straight up cheats, not because it plays smarter or better. Their bigs are faster than your guards, and scrubs start nailing shots in your face etc. Meh.

          But what difficulty you have on tho? I just tried superstar again, is just plain stupid... I am trying to lower the shooting abilities for cpu at superstar level to see if they acutally miss more... that I can acutally play my game to win.
