Why dont call it crowd-pleasing attribute. With every action in the game there are a roll to see if the player will try a crowd pleasing action. If the player decide to take such a action like a 360, behind the back pass or some amazing ankle breaker the difficulty increases quite a bit. there are no in game advantage of doing this but having a lot of successful crowd-pleasing actions will sell more tickets and increase merchandise.

Apart from the players attribute the game situation greatly affect the chances for a crowd-pleasing action. The team that are fighting to get back in the game wont attempt any such actions, while leading by 30 will greatly increase this kind of actions.

Pros: Teams might not throw games as easily as they do now.

Cons: Dominant teams might get even greater advantages from other teams not puting up a fight.

That sounds interresting. Something like level of exhibicionism. Actions done by these could be more liked for the eye of the crowd, but there would be stronger chance to fail... you know focusing on the attractivity of the game means these can end up with bad results.

So you will have a chance of making a few extra bucks, while risking the outcome of the game.

in the end you need the extra bucks, to win the future games ;) But when all those starts as kids, this is possible to implement without lot change(maybe the give up games lock more like a globetrotter match) in the beginning at least for the older clubs.

This suggestion adds nothing. Adding something for the sake of adding get's us nowhere. We have merchandise factors (PR lvl, NT players, drafted players). We have skills that can be linked to speed, leaping, strenght etc. Adding something that effects only new players would be really wrong.

But basketball, more than other sports, is about creating attractivity for the crowd, isnt it?

No it's not more than other sports. There are show offs in any sports. I agree it's a bit hard to show off while running a marathon, but there are show elements in many sports, some are even judged on it. Basketball is about scoring points and defending your basket. Player who does an ankle breaker, swirms through 3 players and then shoots an air ball, is still a dumbo. Even if he makes it, that's a stupid shot and will still count for 2 points. What's the point of that one play if your team still loses. As long as we see things text based, this gives nothing to the game and giving extra merchandise on something so trivial is pointless. I would not want that showoff handling the ball when the game is on the line. I remember when Nash and Stoudamire were in Dunk contest in one all star weekend. They tryed one dunk about 15 times. That's really entertaining, NOT!
I love a boxer that shows off then get's KO-d...

How can you get excited from such a game, is this for you only about winning and results? You know, there are lot of things how you can get perfect illustion about how is the game alive and how are these players real...

In my opinion is basketball very specific, because of high volume of scored points. Players are doing usually lot of things there which pretty much doesnt correspond with the game itself and if you pick for example hockey - there are not so many opportunities, because of lower point results.

So the point is that while this is a sport, really specified for doing things nicely, BBs have to start to think about it...

I get exited by teams playing great, not just few individual highlights. That's why I find soccer boring. You need just one great effort and some luck. One goal will make a great difference. In basketball one posession does not win you the game (remember we are not talking about the last second shots). To me every shot taken over extended arm of the defender is exiting. Good pass fakes, using screens, in your face threes etc. This is what basketball is all about. Just saw Artest making a contested fastbreak dunk over Lopez. Right after that fast offence start left Hill quite open in the corner for 3 (ye he made the shot). So basically Artest did not get back fast enough. So I enjoy the whole game not just those few globetrotters moments. If you want to see a lot of uncontested dunks and no defence just watch all star games.
