Did Scottie Pippen's ratings in the game really drop when he played certain teams?
It's
true, but only when the Bulls played the Pistons. If there was a close
game and anyone on the Bulls took a last second shot, we wrote special
code in the game so that they would average out to be bricks. There was
the big competition back in the day between the Pistons and the Bulls,
and since I was always a big Pistons fan, that was my opportunity to
level the playing field.
