I don't understand why people mess with the sliders anyway... If you're finding that it's too easy, then just bump up the difficulty level? I used to play on All-Star for 2004 and for 2005 as well, but I found it too easy in the middle of one of my dynasties so I started a new one on MVP and it's perfect. Most games are close and some are one sided (in my favor and in the CPU's) The scores are realistic and all.
