First of all, in HUT you can't adjust the sliders so you have to deal with the 5 difficulty levels already in place. For me the big problem is not All Star or Superstar being too hard. Those levels are mean to be pretty hard. The big problem is semi pro and eeven rookie bieng really too hard for what they are supposed to be. Now on rookie, cpu players hit hard and goalies are stupidly too good! On rookie, one timer should be almost automatic and goalies are not supposed making all those desperate saves. Rookie is supposed to be stupid dumb easy and it's really not the case rignt now!
