I only was trying to say that match viewer is not 100% trustworthy.

i´m sorry for my english


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

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.


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