NBA Live 2001 had quite realistic scores with 12 min quarters, but I hate playing a game that long. It takes about an hour to play a single game. Ofcourse when you learnt how to play the AI for all that it's worth the scores got a little high, but the stats were quite realistic, but the rebounding was too high. The fact is that almost every game an AI controlled (center usually) grabbed over 20 rebs and that is just unrealistic.
I'd like to play 6-8 min quarters and get quite realistic scores... In Live 2003 I get pretty realistic scores with 6 minute quarters (again except for rebounds). I usually get around 90 points and that is realistic enough for me.
The Correct Game Balance is Out There...
