Any word on what will happen?

Re: So whats the word in Inside Drive
It all hangs in the balance , when the time comes to start the next microsoft funded sports title...
yes, i have also heard rumors that they weren't very happy with total units sold. There are rumors that
Microsoft is finished with the graphics crew that did past installments of ID, Other scenarios/rumors include ; $VC either working for more then one game or that Microsoft would make them an offer they
can't refuse. This in my opinoin tho is not gonna happen cause microsuck is not going to want to get
killed
by 3 companies like EA , SegaSports2kseries , Arcade Style Basketball Games did them in the last couple times.
I really think that with the addition of a few artists on the graphical side and the power of the
next XBox most of the previous ID people should make a well polished addition to the Excellent ID
series , continuing with the sim aspects and using the power of the xbox2 develop the best basketball
title ever developed. Attention to detail and Responsive Controller Sensitivity. The ability to play
an extremely realeastic
game of basketball , the ability to adjust the level of simulation from Hi to Low

I have to agree...
Here's to hoping that it will change... but it appears that the kids with the time and money love to play games where they can take a star player, and score (on average) about 100 points a game with them, and claim it to be realistic

Re: So whats the word in Inside Drive
lol that is so true Beast.
When i was getting used to editing create a players i realized certain things like dunk ability ratings are a bit over inflated even in ID2004. For example a 65 rating in dunk and a 60 rating in range and the guy is a very good dunker with those ratings(good in real life).
a huge upgrade in sports games would be the incorporation of various degrees of simulation/realism all the way across to the opposite Arcade/fun. Most games can be affected by sliders but no game can truely boast a smooth switch from sim to arcade and back. I would settle for an arcade type fun title like nba live as long as they would let me adjust it to a painstakingly , "boring", extremely realistic simulation , honestly and i don't even want extreme dunking or blocks (i doubt they believe me). The problem is that even if u could get the ai right the graphics would still be cartoonish.
weird thing is all the serious online basketball players prefer sim. The ones who prefer arcade are more fans of any fun game and will get an nba jam type streetball game just for the purpose of cool graphics and a fun exagerated game, these type of fans could easily pick up another arcade style hit. Internet is the wave of the future , and that will be the largest growing segment of gamers. - being able to play an opponenet(usually a decent one) from across the globe in your favorite sports game is truely addictive.
Most of the people who allocate spending for most games are tenative to spend a lot on online yet , because not only are they on tight budgets , but they believe the money is still in graphics and this is probably true. Just there will be a trend toward simulation/online style games and Drive fits that category , hopefully it wasn't too ahead of its time and it comes back strong. i hopeComment
