It's actually more closer in style to the early PS1 Konami XXL Sports games (Bottom of the 9th, the aforementioned NBA In the Zone, etc.)

The gameplay is something of an in-between of arcade and simulation: like arcade sports games (Midway's sports games, for example) it's fast-paced, and dosen't have any timeouts (pausing the game dosen't count), but you still have some elements from simulation-based sports games (EA Sports), like fouls/violations and coaching.

And of course, since it's suposed to be "realistic", you can't do things like shooting 3-points from full court or flippy dunks.
