Yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhh, didn't think so.
This is as silly a comment as I've seen. A licensed NBA product doesn't have to identically simulate everything within the NBA. In this case in particular, all the game needs to do is provide the platform for fair competition. Fair meaning all the tools available to one player is also available to the other to compete with.

In my defense the comment I was responding to was also quite silly. I replied with an equally silly retort. I can be facetious! Sadly, the person I was responding to was likely not, making it even more awesome.

I agree that it doesn't have to simulate everything perfectly. That's expecting too much.

I also agree with your definition of fair, especially in regards to e sports. The problem lies with people looking at the situation objectively and observing that 2K is not penalizing players for exploits. I personally think most rational people interested in this particular competition would take note of that and not partake, for glaringly obvious reasons.

I guess now you know? To be clear, some identifiers would have been the history of the title, the licenses and likenesses and the amount of money spent on them, brand name associations and the actual NBA name and logo. The intent of the aforementioned things clearly point to an attempt at simulation and a recreation of realism.

You're welcome!

A very poor and lazy attempt if it is an attempt at all.
