you r right

' but still I'm looking for the challenge- and except for online games I never get it. I'm altering the sliders constantly to try and find the excitement of a real game- you know the one that you win with the buzzer or at least don't know if your going to win until the last moment- but the cpu intelligence is so predictable - I always get the upper hand (it's very hard for me to win when playing 2k though..) so maybe someone out there has the answer.. Because if not for excitement- why are we playing this game at all?
