Okay hopefully we can end the "they're taking features that are in 2K and calling them original" nonsense I've seen one too many times, here I'll help ya'll out:

Example of a feature that if duplicated would be legitimately stealing and validate these claims:

-EA deciding to make the opening screen display all games being played that day in real life giving the user the ability to play them directly, and calling it "NBA Today." This would be stealing from Visual Concepts.

Example of things that happen in the NBA and therefore should be in ALL NBA videogames (remember, they're tryna to replicate the real thing, SMH) regardless of how you personally feel toward a particular company getting your money:

-Sometimes players aren't able to outright grab a board, so they tip it to themselves to gain the advantage of coming down with it.

-Players like Lebron and DWade like to use idle dribbling moves to size up their man, catch him off balance or see a cutter, or attack an opening when they see it.

-Players do things differently as the NBA is a highly individualized league. They walk, run, dribble, shoot, and wear unique accessories.

Please think about this game we all love, and what the difference is between replicating the sport and stealing features.

Your welcome.
