does anyone have any info on simulation stats?

[Cleveland wins]

Will simulation stats be more realistic? Such as point gaurds as the main players who get assists and will there be more steals, blocks and rebounds? Will rookies decline?(I hope rookies won't decline in 09) And can somebody explain to me what this nba academy is all about?

I've covered this in my report on Dynasty Mode, which will be posted as soon as it's cleared. I have to run my reports past EA first to make sure I haven't mentioned anything that's still under embargo.

I hope so, after playing the first game of the season in last years game, Steve Nash averaged 60ppg, and there were about 4-5 other players who had 50+ games, the first game of the season, that was the other thing that turned me off the game.

The 360/PS3 version didn't have quite so many problems with its simulated stats. In any case, my Community Day reports are now up so you can check out the latest info on Dynasty Mode and simulated stats.

good question! i thought about buying a 360 and play live09 but for me as a dynasty player this is one of the most important things and i´m a bit worried after andrews report. because it is not possible to have a sim engine patch for the console version right?

Correct, there's not much we can do about it unless the ratings are the culprits, in which case with a bit of editing it might not be an issue. Considering that a lot of ratings were still due for an update in the build I played (which is why I didn't write any of them down as they could be inaccurate in a few month's time) perhaps it will be cleaned up by then.
