Look at it this way.
My games start at 5:30pm my time so I will use that in my example.

Before 5:15 : All variables come together like tactics etc.
5:15 - 5:30 : Game calculation begins and should finish very early in this time span (takes 1 or 2 minutes). This is where we are debating whether it is predetermined or not.
5:30 - 7:10ish: Game replay is shown.

Do you understand now?

Between 5:15 and 5:30 the game is predetermined.. The proof of that is you can see any injury that "migh" happen in the game and the money u cud make out of it on "my manage team"..
I hope you understand now what I mean :)

The main issue with this discussion was different peoples interpretation of the term 'predetermined'

Some people thought the score might be 'predetermined' before the game engine runs which isn't the case.

While others were talking about the score being 'predetermined' before the live replay is shown which is the case.

If you read the start of the thread, this is what I thought they were talking about. I soon understand what Naker was trying to get across. What aussie dude has pointed out is correct.

It is predetermined when you see the "live" replay. This is what your saying.

I think what they want to know is when the GE does the actual calculation (which is the 5:15-5:30 part) is whether an injury or foul out will change the GE in any way.

I believe both 'theories' to the 'predetermined' statements are correct, but I think OP is pointing out towards the actual calculation.

Do you see both sides of fence now?

You play your game. During play one of your players gets either Foul trouble or Injured. At this point does the game engine re-calculate the game or is this just part of a sceniaro playing out to get to the predetermined score?
Sorry if this has been asked before.
Thanks.

~From OP

Read the OP first before swaying off the discussion which is when most people start to get frustrated and wrong. Make a new thread to continue your 'part' of the discussion but please see both sides of the fence.

From what I think.
In that 15 minutes before your game, everything is calculated and the score and all injuries are calculated.
The game will have everything ready to say when you watch it.
This must be true or how does the bonus money before cup work

~From Me (Early in thread)
This is me understanding your side of the debate.

my point is, the score is determined when the GE calculates it I.E. from 5:15 to 5:30 the GE has the score and it plays it for u in the live-game. Thats it. im not swaying off the discussion. this is what naker asked about.

it seems you are arguing about the same thing you all agree.

Naker didn't open this thread. If you are answering Naker then it is swaying off the point.
Your looking at the overall view of the calculation. If you don't get it, then don't worry. OP asked about what happens IN the calculation.

watch this and tell me what you think. this is at least a fun discovery :)

This is actually quite dissapointing. There should be some randomness in there, no two box scores should ever come out identical like that even if the factors are identical.

I mentioned this in the GM forum, and was told by a BB that this has been caused by a bug. If you see any more examples, please let me or another GM know. Thanks.

Once I scored a basket that still makes me laugh.
