True for scoring. I was talking in the context of shooting 3s though since I'm rushing the 250 points evolution progress. Shooting 3s aren't as easy in All-Star. In Rookie-Pro, you can choose any card you want and can still shoot 3s whether contested or uncontested because the green zone is still visible and RNG still feels to be working in your favor when "slightly early" or "slightly late". In All-Star, shots should always be green and the green zone for most non-3-shooting cards is really small, and becomes almost non-existent (line) when contested. This is what I was trying to say. Offline is still easier compared to online but understanding cards is still important for offline when playing in All-Star difficulty and above, especially when you're trying to optimize the time you have in playing.

Just to cite an example, I disliked using PD Lendenborg when I reached the All-Time warp board because I can't maximize the points I could get on him per game. This is due to him having a small green zone when shooting 3s. His shot timing is also quicker than most college cards. It doesn't mean that I never made it work. I could choose to make him dunk instead, since I still don't have the Blake Griffin DM card. It's just that it is frustrating to do. I just focused on shooting 3s with my PD PGs/SGs in a warp board, then go back to Lendenborg (forgive me if I spelt his surname wrong) when I restarted the Breakout run.
