Make it a SIMULATION not arcade!!!!!
Or have both modes available (for example: franchise mode can be more like simulation, while all the others can be arcade modes)
In simulation mode must be:
- more realistic gameplay
- better AI (let the best player of the team have most shots)
- more difficult to play (if you know one trick you can beat CPU easily)
- more franchise options
- injuries
- disable CPU cheating (if CPU is down in the 4th it hits all the 3 pointers even with AI assistance off)
- realistic game scores for 12 minute quarter
