The development team disagrees with this stance and will allow the User to try all sorts of things that never would occur in a real NBA game.

Perfectly stated

I don't understand why people can't admit when something is flawed in a game. It seems like justifications must be given to flaws. A honda civic tops out at around 135-145 MPH, and a Ferrari tops out at 200-205MPH. They are both cars, but one is able to do things the other one can't. Games should be programed in this same light. If a game claims to be sim it should mimic what happens in real life. Have you ever seen Shaq doing fadeaways in real life? NO.. So in the same light I don't want to see it in a game either.

You guy's are missing the point. Can Shaq do that dunk in real life...no

Can Shaq attempt to do that dunk in real life ...yes

Would it look pretty in real life or in a game...no, but that would be your choice, a stupid one but still yours. You would only see it if you or some cheesehead online tried to do it, would you be successful at it.... probably not

And with games now I can dribble in circles at half court and heave the ball up from there all game long, is that something you see watching a real game on t.v... no, so should conrtol to do that be taken away also.

and why again would someone do something they knew they were incapable of doing, where is the logic in that, so you would attempt to do a move in a game if you knew the outcome would result in you failing and maybe costing your team the win.

So even though you will NEVER see something like that happen in REAL life. It's ok for a so called SIM to do it for the sake of control? So is it simulating what would happen in the real sport with a specific player or a person's imagination?

umm I dont think people would do it if they know that it wont work

[RayDog253]

Okay, this conversation is just going in circles.

I don't get why you guys can't understand each other. It seems pretty obvious what both sides are saying.

Let me sum it up.

Full Control. Being able to do what you want when you want, with in the limits of the players skill of course.

Sim. Players don't try or probably never even think about trying to do something they know they're incapable of. So this should be represented in the game, where the player should be incapable of such moves.

Now, rEAnimator all ready said players wont be able to attempt dunks from anywhere or attempt a dunk if there incapable in real life.

So I say let's leave it at that, and wait for the demo to drop so we can see what this game has to offer gameplay wise.

Wow! I was planning on buying both NBA games this year, but those videos do not look good. Honestly, they look terrible. I hope the demo changes my opinion of the game.

[Nines]

Eh... will reserve judgement for demo.
