2k League (Playoffs have begun )

[DRiccio21]

this is what happened last year and why we never had a season if i remember correctly.

Wait, i thought you and MGR did some testing of shit to sort this out before everyone got all excited about a league

i never said a word about doing anything other than i'd join the league.

I'm just going off of the first post in this thread.

Ah well.

PLayed my first game and was blown out by Philly. Could not get a rebound or stop penetration in to the lane and they shot lights out! Nothing like an 0-1 start!!

Grizz start off 0-2

Lost to the wizards and mavs

I totally suck at d, beal and mayo had huge games vs me

[bigred]

I was able to pause the league

Looks like all games are open

We have 8 days till the timer runs out

Looks like every we time we pause it gives us 8 days

Shouldn't be an issue getting game in

Jeez... you guys are 0-3... what setting is the league on? I should play a game or 2 offline to find out how bad I suck before I step into league play.

All star

Seems like the CPU doesn't miss, espicially in the paint

Looks like I missed this. Let me know if you start another one.

i just lost 85-81 to the Thunder

i was up by 4 in the 4th before missing a few jumpers and Durant/Kevin Martin taking over.

Duncan had 27, Parker had like 12 assists and the game was tons of fun to play. the last few possessions were nailbiters as they took the lead, i answered they took it again and i missed a shot then had to foul.

Ok, that sounds cool. I will see if I can get on after my NDL game.

Would love to be my Blazers. I don't see that they are taken, yet.

+1

Celtics are now 0-2!

Are we allowing trades or free agent signing? Need some help!!

[bigred]

Doesn't matter to me

Just don't do something silly , like trading bass for Dwight Howard or something

Maybe we should post a potential trade or fa pick up here 1st , then let the league vote on it

[DRiccio21]

i think we should just stick with real rosters, just my .02 tho

[footballkelly31]

I signed up with the Sixers. I will try to keep up with you guys but if my life gets busy ill step aside. If anyone out there really wants the sixers let me know.

I like how it shows the scores of other user games in the league going on if you're at the home screen. Denver drops game one to Minnesota, probably would have won if I didn't suck at FTs, but only first game I've played also.

[bigred]

Grizz fall to the Thunder 67-66

ZBO splits a pair at the line with 2.6 seconds left

Westbrook had 27, Durant was held to 10

Gay lead Memphis with 26, Bayless pitched in 10

Bulls go 2-3 last night. Not bad for having not played the game since the league about 2 yrs ago.

I got hammered by the Lakers. Kobe can take the CPU off of the dribble at will and Howard is virtually unstoppable in the post. I tried to man him up with Noah and even the slightest misstep on my part resulted in a dunk. 90% of their points were scored in the paint. No answer.

The Wizards beat me as well. Very tough team. Wall and Beal are a solid combination and the bigs seemed so quick and athletic. Okafor and Nene just abused me. I think they had 4 alley-oops.

In the 5th game, Cleveland had me down by 15 at one point. Irving was nuts, dribbling into the paint at will. Varejao was incredibly active, very much like real life. I hit some huge 3 pointers down the stretch, closing out the 2nd and 3rd quarters with last second shots.



My overall impression is pretty solid. Using D. Rose, I destroyed Steve Nash, then when I tried some of the same stuff with Wall/Irving, it wasn't happening, so I had to change my game plan. I don't like that the quick plays aren't as defined as the last version that I played. I'm also not sure that I like some of the control setup. 1 huge bonus is that I've never been a fan of the shot stick. On the last version I played, if you only used [] to shoot then you were really limited offensively. Now, almost every shot stick shot has a corresponding regular shot. Definitely a huge improvement for me.

My offense leaves a lot to be desired. I used to focus on quick plays, calling for cuts and pick & rolls, but that stuff doesn't seem as consistent. I did notice that I can completely modify my playbook inside the league setup. So I was up until 230 last night messing around with it. I took out all of the plays, then tried putting in things that resembled what I'm used to seeing.

@ Dave - We have a game to schedule. I can play @ 1030 tonight, after class, or sometime tomorrow after work. I'm sure you're going to stomp me, but I'm hoping to pick up on some things that you do well to try to improve my game. Should be a good learning session for me.
