I see a lot of people asking why would people complain about Superstar when they can just bump down to All Star.
I can only speak for my own experience, but hopefully others will chime in on what they're seeing. On All Star, the CPU is too easy and on Superstar, my teammates are too dumb. For the sake of this discussion, I'll include MyCareer/Player lock.
I want a magic difficulty level where the CPU is as aggressive as Superstar, but my teammates aren't lazy and terrible. All Star looks much more like real basketball than Superstar, but I just find it too easy to be fun. It's a good difficulty to practice on for me personally.
Another gripe about Superstar(which is fixable with sliders, but I'll mention it anyway), is that some shot releases seem to yield poor results even with a very, very good release with a wide open good shooter. This isn't universal and it's been covered in some shot release threads with plenty of video evidence. Some releases go in often with a good/very good release, and some miss very often. The ratings seem to take a back seat to the animation in this case.
Superstar also seems to have a Speed regulator on the fastbreak. It's not that you can't get fastbreaks, but on a sprint on Superstar, Pekovic can keep up with me. On All Star, I dust him.
I'd like a difficulty where the CPU plays to its players' strengths and exposes the holes in my defense/strategy without benefiting from boosts on their end, or nerfs to my teammates. In MyCareer, I want my teammates to stick closer to their tendencies across the board, but they seem turned "off" on Superstar and HoF. There was one play where Durant was wide open at the FT line and he just held the ball and waited for the CPU to recover. It took like two seconds.
This is why people are forced to average unrealistic numbers to win in MyCareer on these levels and we are denied the ability to play defensive and facilitating style characters.
