I hope this question doesn't come to far from out the blue, but I've always
wanted to code a massive sports game but I don't know where to start.  

I've done some game programming with action and strategy, but never with
anything requiring real-time ai and the such?  Has anyone on the net ever
done a basketball or football game like Madden or the TV Sports line.  Could
you give me ideals on what type of algorithims are needed and the
engineering aspect of this.  

I know the folx like Ed Ringler, Scott Orr, Mike Madland and that litte crew
seem to do like 90% of sports games that 'I' have seen.  I'd love to get in
touch with someone from this group or anybody who has done a sports game of
major magnitude.  

P.S.  Even though I enjoy baseball and golf, they are sort of simpler types
		of games.  I am really focusing on basketball, football, and hockey.

Thank you for all possible help.  It is greatly appreciated.
