Not that it directly correlates, or is even particularly relevant, but when I played NBA 2K1 over the summer, I was floored by how bad the shooting ratings were. The game reflected the style of play at the time, which was ISO/post dominant.
let's be clear: the nba explicitly wanted a game that prioritized shooting. it was necessary to get out of the slog of the late '90s and early aughts.
but, as most things go, it went too far. so tweak the rules to create some balance. this is how every sports league works.
