    NBA Teams use videogames to evaluate talent


    Check it out here!

    "On the game, you can see how adding Artest can change the dynamic of your team. You can program it to run offensive sets with Artest and any combination of your players."

    Morey said.
    I hope the article was wrong in their use of NBA Live 08 though 'cause if that's the game they're actually using, it might explain why some teams have "trouble playing."

    Some NBA Teams use Synergy Sports for scouting data

    NBA Live 09 uses Synergy Sports for its Player DNA data

    Just makes sense that they would make use of all the different ways Live puts the data to use data wise. Doesn't have anything to do with which is "the better game."

      Good, they can also create a player using genetics and give him 99 in every attribute.

        Finally, I can revive the 5 foot, 400 pound white guy with an afro center!

        He can hit the 3, handle the ball, block shots and rebound!

          Which is why I stated I hoped they were wrong in stating that the NBA was using Live 08. I could care less about a 2K/Live comparison, but I think a majority here agrees that Live 08 sucked (without the fans fixing the game anyway).

                Hey, and imagine if NBA teams could download patches! Imagine the Knicks downloading a patch that improves team chemistry, or the Raptors downloading a patch for more defensive awareness...

                  Kevin McHale tried that, but every new patch makes his team freeze and more dysfunctional.

                    Well, then he should return his game and replace it for one of the other 29 possible titles.

                      what good are the 27 3rd party titles when the Celtics and Lakers have locked up exclusive rights?

                        Just a matter of patience. 4-5 years ago those 2 games could hardly sell.
