Werd.

Either way, I don't think it matters that much what the "scale" is since the player differences are relative to each other anyway. But I do think lowering the global scales overall will give a more natural feel. The superstars will still be better consistently but should feel a little more human.

If that's an issue this year, I should be fired.

Interesting. I'd be really interested to know where they get their coaching data.... I think it's obvious to you guys where we get ours. We have some stuff to show you for sure, but think about where each game is getting their data while we discuss this stuff.

Not sure at all, but there are definitely teams that like to go at a faster pace than others.... we missed out on that last year

yup

I like checking up ESPN's stats for Pace factors and Off/Def efficiencies. Gives a little more insight on team performances rather than simply looking at how many points they score and how many points they give up. For example, Lakers D has gotten some heat because of the points they give up per game, but if you factor in their offensive pacing and how they fair against the opponents on a possession to possession basis, they were 2nd best defensive team in the playoffs.

looks like ESPN took out the regular season stats and showing only the playoff performances for now, which won't be too accurate since some teams last only a handful of games while others obviously made deeper playoff runs and have more games of data.

I want to see you guys come close to 2K. You have your work cut out for you being that 2K has been the better franchise from its initiation on Dreamcast. You guys are a lot better at hype though. 2K isn't doing any of this what your doing now and your online servers are better than 2K. So, you atleast have a starting point.

Good read, I like the new rating system happy to know that there are only gonna be 2 players at 90. Cant wait till you guys start tellin us about the improved gameplay!

There is definitely some new stuff in 10 along these lines.
