Inside scoring too easy?

First off, I think this is a great basketball game. I just seem to have one tiny little nag: it seems to easy for me to score down in the paint with a big man. I do everything I can to draw double team attention but even after I score 4 times consecutively in the low block, no one comes to help out the defender. Is everyone else getting this AI glitch or is it just me? BTW, I was playing on PRO, I don't know if that makes any difference in double teaming. I also have sliders very high for PC on defensive awareness and help defense.

Another problem I've noticed is that the opponent doesn't use different sets of D, which I think partly is the reason behind the whole so-easy-to-score-on-the-low-block itch I've been getting lately. If I'm scoring so much inside, why not throw a 2-3 zone at me? I don't know if it's some sort of glitch because the supposedly adaptive AI isn't really adapting to my style of play at all.

playing on PRO make a huge difference in everything not just double teaming.
try playing in Hall of Fame lets see if youll think scoring inside is still too easy

hey slicmiller, how did u change the defensive awareness and things like that. When i go into gameplay settings, i only have a few options like game speed and free throw difficulty...

I recently went looking for slider downloads and found one complete with Rosters, settings and sliders. I used the Pro Sliders settings included and though the realism increased (e.g CPU team doesn't score at will everytime during 2nd half, when theiy're down or crunch time), it became rather easy. So i bumped up the difficulty from Pro to All-star and games got more challenging and closer games. I'll try bumping the difficulty level higher and see if I really get a challenge.

 One other thing, it is easy to find Superstar Slider Settings and HOF sliders as well, so i'll probably look into those too instead of using Pro sliders with higher difficulty settings.
