scripted game outcomes

I realize this may not be news at this point. Im on ps5 and I've noticed this issue even back to my ps4 days. I'm realizing at the end of close games that the team with the better record gets a boost from the system and cannot miss shots, whereas the opposing team goes cold. Its as if the computer has already decided who will win the game. Any feedback is appreciated

I have noticed this as well. I noticed that on next gen my offense is highly handicapped. Cannot drive the lane, open jump shots not falling. The CPU hitting contested shots repeatedly. Now this may have been an issue on on the last gen, but to me it is a glaring issue on next gen.

With all the badges and streaks combining it seems likely some teams do have a literal boost in those clutch situations. I think their superior record is the effect of that though rather than the cause.

Re: scripted game outcomes

I’ve played about five full 58 game seasons + playoffs. I’ve had blowouts my way, blowouts against me, close game wins and close game losses. Can’t say I’ve seen any scripting.

Well i take it that the team with the better record is better then the team with the lesser record.

So its seems pretty logical to me.

Re: scripted game outcomes

From like 2k16-2k19 or so on the Xbox one I would always notice how the cpu would drastically make comebacks and increase their shooting percentage in the 4th quarter. Me and a buddy of mine would call it "4th quarter bull****"

Haven't seen it the last two years especially on next gen. It's nice to not deal with anymore

If you haven't noticed, there are "clutch" badges that does increase 4th quarter performances, plus you have to take in consideration the "tireless" badges for some players.
