Sim matchup glitch Topic

Sorry if someone else already noticed this, but I just found a very funny glitch in the sim-matchup. The single greatest player in the sim. Set the home team for the 67-68 Anaheim Amigos, and change the point guard to Dick Lee. Play him 48 minutes. He doesn't exist in the sim because he only played 2 minutes IRL. But since he had 1 rebound, 1 assist, and who knows how many steals, he is officially unstoppable. Every game he gets 10-20 offensive rebounds, 20 some assists, and 30-40 steals. No shots, no turnovers, no fouls. Not only that, he renders the top player on the opposing team useless. I played them against the 95-96 Bulls, and Michael Jordan goes 2-4 with 25 turnovers. The 15-16 GS Warriors, Curry doesn't take a shot and commits 18 turnovers. Etc. Anaheim wins every time. Anyway, I thought it was a funny glitch and wanted to share.

Yeah, I remember some buzz about the Dick Lee anomaly maybe a dozen years ago, around when I first staying playing the WISNBA game. But no one's mentioned it for a long time. It kind of warms my heart that that Easter egg still exists...

Aaaand yep, confirmed. I just played the Dick Lee-led Amigos against the best sim team I could put together, and Anaheim obliterated them. Lee had 0 points but 15 OFFENSIVE boards, 24 assists, and 30 steals. He matched up against 89-90 Jordan, who went scoreless (because he never took a single shot!!) and coughed up 22 turnovers. I'm not making this up. This is some weird juju, fellas...

Ok this is hysterical. I just found another glitch to top that. 13-14 Miami Heat with DeAndre Liggins at shooting guard for 48 minutes. Another that doesn't exist in the sim because he only played 1 minute, scoring 1 point and grabbing 1 rebound. However, his EFG% is 100% and usage is 47.8%! I sim-matched that Miami Team, played him 48 minutes and took out Wade and Lebron, and in one game he scores 136 points on 65/67 FG with 26 rebounds. Miami wins 208-89. LOL. I've been here over 5 years and never knew about this glitch. Funny stuff.

Actually I shouldn't call it a glitch. I don't play NBA sim-matchup so I wasn't aware, but EVERY player gets included in the historical rosters. Even those who only played a minute. That results in some insane advanced stats for the really low minute players.

Liggins is the GOAT (though I did Sim a few times and Lee got some revenge. In this game, Love that Lebron still got his triple double even in this Lee/Wiggins multiverse
