Look at the sales drop the years following them taking that feature out. The information is right there. Sales of NBA LIVE have been declining since 07. Google it Homey

Way to tap dance around the question But where exactly did you get 10% if they added the college import function?

Dude there isn't going to be any specific evidence stating that fact, that's why you have to do analysis. It requires some thought for yourself, when you see a drop in your product sales you start ANALYZING the specific circumstances that may have caused it. The two in this case being FEATURES removed and the improvement of competing software. While the 10% number may not be 100% correct, the actual change may be even greater. It appears the sales drop was more than 20% surely you don't think all that was attributed to 2k?

I still don't see how you can attribute a 10% drop in sales to a specific feature such as importing college players being taken out of the game.

It's quite apparent you pulled tha number out of your ***, and have no basis for it.

Which proves my point.

I am not overly impressed with Dyanamic DNA and Live 365. Ditto for the 2K Insider. The problem is neither tendencies or inate ability change daily or even weekly. A tendency is an established pattern, i.e., Lebron James in pick and roll plays or Z in pick and pop plays. A player can improve in areas over time, but not simply because they shot the lights out two nights in a row.

Accurate rosters are important for quick games or franchises started well into the NBA season. However, I don't want my roster updated mid-franchise because I want the things that I have done with my franchise to remain revelant.

Tendencies should NOT change daily. That's a poor way to implement this mechanic.
