There's no right answer here, and remember the settings can always be changed dynamically. The problem with the AI being too easy for some and a challenge for others (i.e. Pro or All-Star) is that the league will swing heavily in favour of the former group. If they choose to play every game, then they'll win the majority of games and it won't really be fun for anyone, even those being challenged by the AI.

The problem with the AI being a challenge for some and too difficult for others (i.e. Superstar) is that the latter group will be discouraged to play and instead SIM or coach games until they can develop their skills enough to compete at the Superstar level. However, in terms of the league the teams should be more evenly matched and games will depend more on the rosters/strategies rather than the ability to destroy the AI.

Don't get me wrong Justin, I'm likely on your side because the AI on Superstar seems to be out of my reach for 13 (perhaps I'll have to wait until I get used to the changes in gameplay a bit more). And as much as I'd probably bump it down to All-Star initially, it would just be less fun if teams are constantly winning 55+ games every season. So I think that's the compromise we'll have to make for the good of the league.
