Hah, I actually dropped Defense Assist from 100 to 50 and it made a world of difference. You have too little control at 100, so 50 has worked really well for me. I also have user and cpu on ball D at 45. It seems to have made drives for both user and CPU easier and more even, though it's still difficult to finish in the paint; not sure how that would translate on Superstar. I might bump up the difficulty later on today if only to see how bad I get slammed.
