Starting 5 competition

I’m a purple plate player on all my builds so I’m used to decent competition but I swear I just stepped into starting 5 for the first time today and every match is someone with a system and a million in game adjustments/sliders.

Not to mention they just double team me off ball the entire game.

I just played a game like this where I narrowly won by just passing to the open man. Had like 20 assists in one of the most boring games ever— chasing down a guy hitting moving fadeaway 3 pointers all game.

Is this all starting 5 really is?
