What settings do you guys use?

ok for me here are my settings, post your settings.

Team: Clippers
Qtr Length: 9 min
Difficulty: Superstar
Game Mode: Simulation
Season Length: 82 gms
Playoff: 5,7,7,7
Roster: NLSC Tweaked
Fouls: All the way on both


Right now my team is 5-0 i am winning by an average of 25 points. i just want to see what you guys are doing, and if you have the same problem as me.

All-Star(it seems to be more realistic)
8mins
12mins sim
82 games
5-7-7-7
def. fouls are close to all the way but arent.
off. fouls 3 from middle

Team: Timberwolves
Quarter Length: 12 minutes
Difficulty: Starter
Game Mode: Simulation
Season Length: 82 games
Playoff Length: 5-7-7-7
Roster: NLSC Opening Night 02/03
Fouls: Default (Just past halfway I believe)

1-6 thus far - I've been trying to slow the game down and use the clock efficiently - doing this in previous Lives was possible, and I did get good results (even a 75-67 victory in NBA Live 2002, 12 minute quarters). However, I've kinda given up on that idea, and decided to actually try to win games. I'm surprised that I'm losing on Starter when I had little trouble (except for one or two games) on Superstar in previous Lives. Guess it's the adjustment to Live 2003's gameplay.

Team: Milwaukee
Quarter Length: 8 minutes , Although im thinking bout switching to twelve
Difficulty: All - Star/Superstar (depends how im feeling)
Game Mode: Arcade
Season Length: 28 games
Playoff Length: 5-7-7-7
Roster: Mine
Fouls: Full

I use my own rosters that im still in the process of tweaking, i guess you could call it cheating but im trying to make it more playable for myself. Since im tweaking im thinking of changing to 12 min 1/4's so its more realistic.

My settings are probably the least realistic out of the majority of franchises

Superstar ( it pees me off to see ppl who play on allstar and win by 30 points every game i know its there personal choice but hey there is a more challening level)
Sim (havnt tried arcade yet but i guess there cant bemuch difference)
28 games onyl ever played one 82 game season back in 99
5 min quarters (I would love to have patience to play 10's or 12's buit by the end of one season i would probably chuck the game out)
Default rules
NLSC roster cant remember what version the first one for this season i think

I guess if your winning by too much (ive never had that problem) try a crappy team like a few other ppl are doing like the cavs and denver dont sign big name fa for minimum but as far as gameplay goes i cant help ya.

it pees me off to see ppl who play on allstar and win by 30 points every game

Why?

anyway...

PF-Nene Hilario (75)

I'm 8-0 so far. Last three games I've won by a combined 9 points. my seventh game might of been different if the pc fouled me during the 7 seconds i ran out the clock winning by one. I run the break a lot and usually have scores around 100-115 for both teams. Unless the other team really sucks.
