Nice article. And that Fisher screenshot is GREAT! New face for Tony Parker?

"I noticed that Synergy’s tendencies"

Rob, I don't want to here about Synergy. Just stick to 82 games

"Another improvement to the UI that we have addressed is that when viewing a play, we now show you a ‘movie’ of the play so you can see where each player goes, as opposed to the flipbook last year."

Nice

Not sure how to interpret it. Especially after hearing that 82games.com lacked some of the information that they were really after. That to me translates to an "experimentation" when it comes to a feature.

Living Rosters will update the playbook based on your team/coach, so your main squad will be up-to-date. Trades will happen that completely changes the team dynamics and with that, playbooks will need updating as well. I am sure that will be discussed in a future Living Rosters Insight.

An insight for the Living Roster...hmm i dont know why the Living Roster needs its own insight unless that Chinese interview with Kobe turns out to be true about players being updated whenever they have a new hairstyle...as per someone translation...

so uh...that iverson thread about having his rows might be possible with an update if true...

EDIT: i had to google derek fisher because i didnt think he was that cut...and i was wrong lol

I guess you missed this

They physically tracked NBA games for us to derive the information we were looking for. The good thing is that while we built the system, they were flexible enough to accommodate changes to how the information was being delivered, in order to better recreate the players.

Pretty good. Movies of the plays are certainly a good call as the flipbook could get a little manic. 24 plays instead of 8 is very necessary. Obviously there are no dynamic playstets or else he'd have mentioned it. Dynamic plays are a must for next year's game though while having 24 plays is nice if you play someone enough they're going to figure out a few things you like to do and counter them. It'd be nice to be able to counter the counter.

As for the player tendencies this is something I'd have to play to endorse. Of course it's necessary and hopefully it'll work well, but until I see it I'm not going to drool over it. What I really want to know is if 82games.com is continuing to work within the game. If you read carefully it sounds like it was a one time partnership. They got together while the game was in development figured out the tendencies and that was the end. It seems asthough roster updates will still be up to the insider.
