Are modes flipped? Test Inside

[CSlater21]

Ok guys here they are. The first one is from the arcade setting wih all rules on the second is Simulation all rules on. This is All Star level with 8 min quarters. I do play with a slightly modified Players.dbf file that lowered the FG%, 3pt%, Blocking, Speed, and Quick.

Now I was Minn. I got my Ass handed to me both games. The weird thing is that it is close at half then they start killing me. I mean Jahedi White the center for Washington was 3-4 from 3pt land. This happens on both settings. The center for the CPU controlled teams seem to be sharpshooters from behind the Arc.

Overall there is not a whole lot different between the two games stat wise. Human teams seem to get more blocks ( Way to many ) but the CPU gets tons of steals.....

Just wanted to post the comparision for you all....

I've tried the arcade mode with all rules on.(Forgot to get the game states)
The amazing AI fast break was under control, but their players are still much faster than human controlled players.
In addition, the blocking is still exaggerated, and the AI shooters from downtown is still incredibly high FG%, especially in the 2ND HALF.

I guess EA thinks that the people who buy their game want to play basketball like NBA Jam, and they throw in a "Simulation" mode for those who only want to play "NBA Jam Lite". Thankfully, they have given us the ability to tweak the .dbf settings in hopes of improving the realism. I just have to wait for one of you knowledgeable guys/gals to come up with a great roster fix.
