That's not a bad idea. Although I wonder why no one ever came up with a database/software of players that is more serious than a video game? One that updates itself daily, contains memos from different scouts, and so detailed that you could even check the stats of highschool players and leagues all over the US.

They lost me to EA sports with NBA2K9. Good luck getting those roster updates they promised. I read the fine print and discovered that the updates are weekly, so I gave it about a week and a half... still had Allen Iverson on the Nuggets and no Delonte West even on the Cavs' roster. I went to call 2kSports support, but it's not an 800 number so I figured I should check online for answers for free before spending more money. From what I read in those forums I saw that not only had no one else gotten the updates, but online matchmaking was effed-up as well. The outlook was not good, so I cut my losses and traded the game in for the EA sports one with the ugly dude on the cover.

I'm not buying a basketball video game unless it features Allen Iverson skipping practice.

And saying "practice" 23.5 times in a 90 second soundbite.

About 14 NBA teams get their scouting information from Synergy Sports. Starting with NBA Live 09, EA Sports is also getting information regularly from Synergy Sports. All this is is another medium to look at the data they already have, and the accuracy of EA's simulation engine. It's pretty pointless to comment about 2K9 when this has nothing to do with the actual gameplay being any good.

this sounds like a fluff piece to market a game. Kind of like how Saddam was supposedly buying ps2's because they were powerful enough to make a super computer for actual WMD's..or something.

Not sure if I trust your source there. That same site has an article titled "Soy is making kids 'gay'."

Here in England football teams are using Football Manager by Sega for scouting purposes.
