NBA Live>Czar's game feels scripted group experiment
Da_Czar 09:52 AM 10-16-2009
Whats up fellas i read through the whole other thread this morning. I had an idea that may help to clarify the issue.
Let me just say that i have posted about the exploits of a bonner seemingly having his dna switched with a superior player. That said until reading the thread I didn't think it was that huge of an issue. however that many of my os bretheren surely can't be that far off from the truth. hell you guys have convinced me its a problem but to really verify I will need to put more playtime in. (been playing the other game a lot recently)
Anyway this is my idea. Let's all pick the same 2 teams and all be the same user team and post the stats from our experience. If we can do this and get a good amount of people to try it surely we can then begin to see some sort of pattern. especially since we all admittedly have different play styles.
so default all-star with 12 min qtrs lets have the user team be denver and the cpu team be san antonio at san antonio.
Lets keep the thread clear so we can just have the results posted. note any big or impossible runs by the cpu and post the per qtr scoring and fg %.
I just picked two teams so that we can go ahead and get started. if this catches on maybe we can repick teams for a second attempt that people feel will represent a much better chance of having a super cpu comeback.
Just came up with the idea so I haven't even played this game myself. If your interested just do it and post afterwards.
Please don't litter the thread with jibber jabber. lets just post our results here and then rationally discuss our findings. I invite the live devs to play also and post their numbers as well.
this should be able to show us if coaching / play strategies actually make a difference.

It may help to pick a good team vs a weaker team. That way you're pretty much assured to get a good lead at some point. Your Portland vs San Antonio games played out like the majority of the games I play. Right now I've been labbing with Boston vs OKC. Several games, same result. I get up big, they go unconscious. Not just Durant but Kyle Weaver, Etan Thomas and the like.
When I play two more evenly matched teams the runs are not as pronounced.
But I'll give the Denver @ SA a go and see what happens.

PER QUARTER
pts
fg %
3 point %
turnovers
WHOLE GAME
field goals made/attempted
Freethrows made attemptes
Blocks
steals
turnovers
pts for starters and any major bench contributers.
also note any runs the cpu makes when your up.
@ Bootzilla we can try that next and then we will have an good team good team and then a good team poor team comparisons. Maybe its worse one way than the other
Outside the numbers it would be cool if you posted your pregame strategy and then post game thoughts on what happened like if carmelo had a terrbile night or something like that. Not necessary but may help. Also post whether the runs were legitimate or you felt cheated and why. those might help the devs find something if this something exists.

This is a reasonable idea but still, given the difference in user talent, the guy that always cops the runs will still get them and the guy who knows how to avoid/slow them down will do just that.

Not sure this will prove anything.
That may still prove something though...even though there will be differences in user talent, if even a couple of people can avoid/slow them down then that would show things are not entirely scripted (at least not scripted enough to feel like the user has no control over outcome)...
