Come on man. That's not totally true. It's gone both ways.

But they have said they have worked on the post game

EA Sports presents: How to make a mediocre game look great, in 3 simple steps:

1) Invite people to play the game and hope some of them upload awful looking videos.

2) Release couple of gameplay videos that look horrible.

3) Release gameplay videos (Broadcast cam) that show a below average game, but because they look better than the previous ones, customers think that the game is great.

And there you have it, folks. It's all psychology.

Shaq can throw a trey anytime he would like on court, he has the control but he knows he can't execute that so he won't and whenever he tries he will choke. And so on you can multiply the examples etc. If you don't know who you control, and his capabilities, and if you don't know how to execute right with full control in your hands then you'll choke and this is sim in its fullest sense, that's the difference just pressing a button and waiting for the outcome, instead you'll decide on the outcome.

I know all of this. You miss the point of what I was saying. When you throw ALL of the elements you mentioned into the final stages to determine the outcome, if the user can OVERCOME all of those elements, it ceases to be sim. Whether or not you make it harder only goes so far if you have such a deterministic system driven primarily by the user and not the foundation of the game itself. If you have a player that has NO business taking a shot he doesn't take or shouldn't take, yet you can still hit that shot because you hit the "sweet spot", the suspension of reality is gone. The "sim" is broken.

That's cold dude. Although that has been done before, I doubt anyone would ever do that in the game's industry. Does make one think though.
