no...just learn how to play GOOD D. I used to play AS but it was so easy now since my player is rated 86..yeah I will not make him more than 88. Sometimes its just the break of the games. I had about 12 games winning streak before the all star. But after the all star, im barely making 60% winning. I lost 3-4 straights playing tough teams.
I lost these games due to inconsistencies of my teammates, and I turn over the ball about 8x. But i love the challenge. So if you think you still need to hone your skills and can't keep up with the SS CPU, try to lower it.
