    which is a rating that is constructed from other ratings, like speed, 3Pt, and position, when you create the player. Theres rarely any need to ever manually change it because the automatic generation of this rating is pretty good most of the time.

        If EA decides to release a patch to fix some of the bugs in the game like the CPU fast break catch up AI, then you most probably won't be able to download it on the console unless you have XBox Live whereas if you have the PC version, it's just a few clicks away.
        You think there's any chance of a patch coming for the PC version's fast break? I know there's no chance of it coming out for the Xbox version. I didn't think EA released that many patches.

            They don't normally release patches to fix gameplay issues but who knows? I'll keep my fingers crossed.

                Actually, in 2004 the game just gave a default Scorearea value.
