A simulation is conducted by artificial intelligence or logic of the
videogame that uses real-life data from each player. Results are extrapolated by
the videogame when two teams match up based on player ratings, line
combinations, and include variances such as injuries and hot streaks to give a
realistic outcome of a game or series.
Pre-season simulations make the assumption that teams will stay healthy and
play a season without any big trades, which would alter the end result. NBA LIVE
09 can now be used as a predictive throughout the season to simulate results of
big match ups and the rest of the season with authentic data driving the
artificial intelligence.
