So we have geared up to do these simulations on a wider basis, made some tweaks to the engine to make the pattern of fouling/being fouled more like the nba and tuned to individual players... so now we have to retune the engine to play realistic basketball again. But just for fun, given where the game engine stands now.. and I want to emphasize that I don't think the game engine is truly optimized at this point, i did a test sim on tonights Lakers/76ers game. In short, the simulations show the lakers winning ~75% of the time, with an average margin of ~7 points. Thaddeus Young leading scoring for the Sixers (>20 points), Kobe obviously for the Lakers (~30 or more) ... Elton Brand and Andrew Iguodala held to a below average game. If Philly wins it will be because someone unexpected broke out and scored in a big way... most likely Willie Green.

How do you guys determine the skills levels of individual players? Is it a judgment call or are you feeding their statistics into a program and it spits out their skills?

well that is changing on a daily basis.. like i said last time was a mix of stats and judgement... im trying to move to an all stats system, but i haven't perfected it yet... it might not be possible. this philly/LA comes from the all stats approach.

THIS IS ACTUALLY FROM BB-FORREST NOT MARK..

so as i suspected our prediction is only about 75% of the way there.... tonights LA/Philly game ended up 114/102.. which is about the same proportional margin as i predicted, but a higher pace. In general the scoring was much more balanced than the simulation... Kobe was the highest scorer though with over 30, Brand was limited severely, Iggy had an OK/kinda good night. Thaddeus Young didnt really break out though..

Looks like everybody is just a little too good defensively in the simulation... gotta make for some more exciting basketball... but its promising..

i personnally expect portland to lose, but greg oden will still get 30 + points.
