Hey Beluba, still around?

I know you guys focusing on myplayer gameplay when it comes to controls.
Working the sticks and giving players basically FULL control over a player really suits this approach but it doesn't really fit 5 on 5 sim.

I have the feeling that NBA players won't feel different and vast and special in their own regards anymore. It's TOO much control in the players hands for proper sim.

I always dream of a control scheme where you can focus on making basketball desicions instead of recalling memorised Tekken-esque combos. Like I said it fits perfectly to myplayer.

As a gamer you should give basic commands like passing and players react accordingly to who they are, meaning Magic would pass the ball like Magic without me tapping O. It would be so much more natural.

So here is my question

Are there any chances such a control scheme could eventually co-exist next to the current one?

It is probably a lot of work giving each player the ability to decide which move is best for any situation.
But this would be so cool.
