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.


really?

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.

Indeed, field is small and players are moving ball by bare hands, there is so many things which can be done just by creativity and reflexes. Soccer need for that really high skill, otherwise it look like players doesnt know what they are doing. But humans brain is fascinating mechanism and while get used to focus on something really boring, still can find there some exciting moments and look forward for every one of them.

So what you can call exciting moments, is in fact usuall boring thing for which you just learn yourself to focus on. (ahh that english is killing me) But this sense of finding excitement have everyone on different level. So make everytime a huge difference if anyone of players can do something in advance, because that is the thing which bring fans together and they can talk about it.

I cant find any connection with allstar games or so, because that is completely different thing. At the end, if every match would be like allstar game, fans would get bored by the time anyway and would be trying to find something extra again.

I do not understand, what exactly are you talking about. Why do you like basketball?
What exactly are you missing in this game? We have dunks in crowd, dunking over people, acrobatic moves to the basket, people trying to show their range, alley oop passes etc! What are you missing? Do you want every play to be superacrobatic dribble with high arcing 3 pointer over 4 players.
It seems to me you are the guy that just watches game recaps and top10 plays of the week. You do not like basketball you like globetrotters...
