Originally posted by joe Yeah that is what I thought a bunch of none sense. If they are that close to starting a new game why keep back what kind of game? Unless it is another football game. I would think the sooner you advertise the more you will have. Hold the carrot out front to long and it goes bad..
actually, good thought. Bort has gone on record as saying it would be surprising. Nothing more surprising than another (improved?) football game!

What doesn't make sense? They will copy and paste the formulas for speed, strength, vision, stamina, and jumping and use it in the basketball format. Then skills like carrying become ball handling, throwing is shooting, catching is stealing, tackling becomes defensive, blocking is used in post defense, and so on. There are big time companies that buy game engines and then create their own games. Once you get all the algorithms and get the game coded correctly you can then just swap stuff out and tweak a little for a different game. Training, SP, VP, equipment can all be the same or similar in a different game all the way down to cows being present in the rookie stadium.
Originally posted by Deathblade Also, the part about just thinking that it would somehow be possible to just copy/paste a football engine into basketball or something.
I think the Orlando Magic will be a lot better off if they can just draft a good Nose Tackle this off-season and work on their inside running game more.
