  • What happens when you give NBA 2K the worst draft class possible year... after year... after year? This show is a journey into a realm where sports are distorted beyond reason, impossible ideas are tested, and artificial intelligences are forced to reckon with a world that no longer makes any sense.
    Welcome to the FUMBLE DIMENSION

    Best part about this is: The coaches and players may change, and be able to escape this simulated hell, but Shaq, Ernie, and Kenny remain, unchanging and un-aging. Also, looks like the refs stay the same too.

    I still find it baffling that these players are rated 40 overall. That implies that they are 40% of the way to playing perfect basketball. They are almost-half-great. In truth, these players are not even halfway to dressing themselves in the morning. The idea that they could score 40% on any test, by any metric, seems absurd.

So... I bumped up some of his stats, but turned his carrying(likelihood of fumbling) all the way down. Best automated franchise mode ever. Teams always signed him, and then got rid of him the next season. His teams always did terribly.

    36:30 Buckner was getting the offensive board and passing it back to an open 40 overall player. The 40 overall would likely miss again, resulting in another possible rebound for Buckner. Few points, few assists, just rebounds. Simulator made the big man pass it out after the offensive board

    You know, having read the original Death of Basketball article, it amazes me how much the later version of the game is trying to prevent Jon and non-Jon from replicating Jon’s original experiment. It’s almost like one of the developers read the original and implemented multiple failsafes to stop this very thing from happening.

At some point the players learn that their coach is also their creator, and they get revenge. Digital revenge.

Like, if someone has good intangibles, that means they tend to get decent results even if on paper they aren't very fast, strong, or accurate. Usually it refers to players who "work hard" in some capacity.

    The reason for the old-time names is because they have a very simple naming algorithm for randomly generated players. They just take a list of every in-game player’s first name and last name and randomly assign one of each to each created player. Since there are so many historical teams in the game, a lot of old names tend to pop up

    This is easily one of the most creative and interesting things I’ve ever seen anyone do with a sports video game.

I felt a very real, visceral disgust as I watched this and the ‘08 Lions videos. Please don’t stop making these.
