Imagine this, you're leading by 3 points with 10 seconds left in the game. Your opponent has no timeouts left. They inbound the ball and waste the entire 10 seconds without even getting passed half-court. Instead of the CPU using turbo to try a 3-pointer to tie, the player "walks" and shoots a desperation shot from 50 feet.
It's not like I don't want to win, but dramatic endings are exciting.. not this crappy scenario where the opposing team doesn't even try.
