FWIW, it wasn't obvious to me that superstars performed a lot better than solid starters in the sim. I'm sure they enjoy some benefit due to their generally superior stats, but I had a team largely filled with solid starters or below and I was competitive. My best RB, for example, was Robert Turbin. And aside from Santonio Holmes, who only played in about 4 games, my WRs were led by the likes of Kevin Walter and T.Y. Hilton.
You can check the 2012 stats under the stats menu. I just looked at rushing stats and there were some superstars at the top, but BenJarvus Green-Ellis was 7th and Bilal Powell was 10th in rushing yardage. Kendall Wright led all receivers in yardage and TE Greg Olsen came in 9th. Andy Dalton led the league in passing yardage and Sam Bradford tied for the league lead with Aaron Rodgers in passing TDs.
