Which difficulty is most realistic?

For CPU vs. CPU games, in what difficulty level do the CPU players exhibit behavior closest to their NBA counterparts?

Superstar...it's the only one where both teams consider playing defense. CPU vs CPU.

I agree. Superstar difficulty combined with appropriate slider tweaks allows for the most realistic gameplay with a satisfying challenge.

I prefer Superstar too altough i think the CPU cheats a lot on offense since they make so much shots with a defender right in their face

On Defense the CPU is great IMO

Overall Superstar is the way too go....

I gotta agree there. I've always played on Superstar in previous Lives and 2004, whether it's CPU vs. CPU or ME vs. CPU. You get the more realistic stats and gameplay, like in the real NBA where you have to earn your spot, and every possesion counts. LIVE does make it seem easier, gives a different view, but overall Superstar is as close as you gonna get with sliders!!
