I'll see what I can find out. *grumble*

Thanks Scoop

that´s a roster issue, not a problem with the sim engine which is incredibly solid for a action-game (as opposed to a text sim game like DDSPB or Football manager for soccer) so unless the "2K Insider" (or the team behing the entity) buckles up you should take a look at a couple Rosters.

^^Also, check how many minutes the players are playing in your association. I have seen players with 41-42 minutes a game and I had to lower their minutes. Realistically, Dwade averaged the highest amount of minutes a game last season and that was around 38 min a game.

maybe change the sim minutes to 10 or 11 and that should fix the stats being high.

Great job 2k! I am completely satisfied! Feel like a kid at Christmas. Why can't other game companies take care of their customers like this?

which screws up all non-star and team stats royally though. The problem is that the balance isn´t good, not that there´s too many Points (or rebounds or whatever) generated on a game to game basis.
Role players have too low a shot tendency (and the stars maybe a bit too much) and guards too low a rebounding ability.

Take a shot at Nogsters Roster or others and you´ll be fine. Also going forward as the Rookies created are actually more balanced than the existing group of players thus changing a few things in the default scheme (shot tendency lower for upp half and higher for lower half of the players, rebounds higher for guards) doesn´t screw anything up longterm.

Now I see them driving at the rim and breaking me down off the dribble. 2. Some of the complaints are just garbage. This isnt noticeable on OS, but I swear the average age of the official 2K board is about 15. 3. Patches are pretty new. The notion that a game is dynamic is still amazing to me. Growing up, the game was what it was when you took it out of the box.

I have to correct tbarney though: based on what we know AT LEAST about 2K, those guys work MORE than a 10 hour day. Some dudes sleep at the office. Some are there every minute and only go home to sleep and get cleaned up. This is common in the games industry.

I don't know about it being the "right" decision for the game. it's just the popular choice and it would seem that they are listening to the vocal community against their own judgment. No one can complain about that I guess. If the user wants to "break" his/her game, why not let them.
