NCAA Basketball 10
Reading and countering a human opponent's offense matters
Variance4 vs 4
Same score on variance - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
FIFA 21
Deflections, finishing RNG and pack luck colour outcomes
NCAA Basketball 10
Shot outcomes and AI add measured randomness
