But most of you don't have the background in real world basketball to be able to have an intelligent view on how the sim SHOULD be improved.
And you shout down the people that do.
And you know this how?
Some of us have been scholarship athletes before. Some of us have direct experience with college basketball, recruiting, D1-D3, etc. You can argue the semantics of what you mean by "most", but that's irrelevant to me. I, personally, could care less if you were a four year starter at Duke or have never seen a basketball. You don't need to show credentials to me to have valid points and criticisms, but you certainly will be listened to in direct proportion to your actions and experience with the subject matter.
But
some of us search things on the board or in the FAQ and listen and read much, much MUCH more than we post. Aside from whatever nonsense has been going on, there are very, very clear and obvious things that are laid out for some of us to see, and it's nobody's fault but our own if we don't.
I wont' address intelligent views. But I can say definitively that there are people here that have experience as programmers, as college athletes, and as people who play a variety of games. Many (most?) of them recognize that the SIM is faulty in many ways, but most of them are happy to work within the boundaries of what is setup for all of us.
I'm sorry, I didn't mean to derail a post about possible changes to the engine, I promised myself to not get drawn into frivolous side discussions. Sorry for cluttering the board all.
