I'll agree it's not 100%, but it's 99.8% or so.

It's definitely something where the game engine and the match viewer disagree; the shot at 47:24 into the game is called by the match viewer a three from the corner but by the game engine some sort of two-point shot.
I'm going to look into this in more detail in the next day or so and figure out what went wrong.


Let´s go back to the beginning of the post. As we don´t know how does it work the conection between game engine and viewer, I don´t think we can be sure that it is just a presentational effect. So let's wait for the answer of someone who knows and stop the discussion. I´m sure that any of us would be very angry if this is happening to us.
Peace! ;-)

When the chief designer of the game says that it is indeed a presentational effect, then we most certainly can be sure of the effect.

Declaring that you want to wait for an answer of someone who knows, especially after someone who knows already answered, wont change the outcome.

we aren't completely sure what is going on.. clearly from the GE perspective it incremented the number of points by 2... but somehow a 3 point signal was outputed. Obviously this is an EXTREMELY RARE bug.. so its source isn't as simple as there is some place in the code where a 2 pointer accidently outputs a 3 point signal at least explicitly. More likely there is some buffer overrun issue which caused some information to be changed in such a way as it appears to be a 3 point shot when in fact it was a 2 pointer.

This is why you go to one of the finest universities in the nation and I dropped out of a community college after 6 weeks.

Having just written that post, i have a theory which would explain what happened. I need to check it ... but if i'm correct it was correctly scored as a 2 point shot... but the shot type wasn't updated from the previous shot .. which you will notice in this example was also a corner 3 point shot. If i had more examples to work with I could verify this theory. It also wouldn't be noticed except for the few times the previous shot was a 3.

I was trying to help someone that suffered a very disgusting bug. A very rare bug but not less important than others because if you have it more often, then BB will have a big problem. BB-Charles told he was going to study it, so he (and me) expected to have an answer.
What I don´t understand is your role in this post. I seems that you want him to be more angry and more frustrated than he is, and start a quarrel without sense.

In my opinion, this user deserves a proper explanation and maybe, why not, some kind of apologize.

I think I'm an idiot - I could have sworn there was a discrepancy, looks like not.
