Those would be instances not in the majority of cases, and I agree with you about them.

That's what I am beginning to think as well. I thought it would simply re-calculate the game each time something happened that adversely affected one team or another, to bring you to the end result. This maybe true, but suggestion seems to point to every aspect from shots made & missed to free throws changing momentum in the game. If this is true, it's a real nice aspect to the game. No wonder there's 10k lines of code.


It almost has to be as Naker says. The inefficiencies built into recalculating the game after each event occurred would be huge. Calculating it sequentially give you a maximum run time per match (excluding OT which can be coded around). Recalculating the remaining events can exponentially increase the run time.

This is not exactly true. When you watch your game "live" you are actually watching a replay of the simulation. The score is not determined before the simulation is run. It is, however, determined before you see it "live".

I think there's too much random.

Well there is no update between 18th and the 21st (there is financial update but that doesn't affect the gameshape or anything) so really, everything is exactly the same. same players at the same spot, same tactics, same same everything. This is a good evidence to make an assumption that the game is predetermined by the game engine.

All the previous discussions were based on assumptions. This is... well it's one fact that favors the predetermined position. Same score, same number of fouls, time-outs, identical play-by-play ... even the animation shows that all the shots were taken from the exact same position on the court.

Current result: predetermined 1 : 0 not-predetermined.

P.S. I wonder if you have the same Staff members (specialties) and enthusiasm level...
