NBA 2K27 practice facility testing method

1. Fix player, animation, camera and settings. Write them down.
2. Fifty attempts of one shot type; record early, late, on-time.
3. Change exactly one variable.
4. Repeat and compare directions, not percentages.
5. Validate the winner in five online games before adopting it.

• Changing two things at once, which makes the result unattributable.
• Judging from ten attempts, which is noise.
• Recording made/missed instead of early/late, which discards the useful signal.
• Testing a different player each round.

Peak is our product, so our own results are not neutral evidence. Publishing the protocol lets you reproduce or contradict us, which is the only kind of claim worth making in this category.
