We'll i just finished watching the 2011 NBA draft, and was quite disappointed with most of the results. I knew the draft was in trouble with 3 out of the top 10 picks going with overseas players.
I ask you all that have watched or heard of the draft this year; what happened to all of the home grown good players that where left out and off the draft board(s) this year?
My feeling was that teams did not have enough money to spend on players / free agents this year, so they played it ... Read More

MIAMI (AP)

For Dirk Nowitzki, the résumé is complete. He's an NBA champion.

For LeBron James, the agonizing wait continues for at least one more year.

Avenging what happened five years ago in perfect turnabout style, the Dallas Mavericks won their first NBA title by winning Game 6 of these finals in Miami 105-95 on Sunday night – celebrating on the Heat's home floor, just as Dwyane Wade and his team did to them in the 2006 title series.

"DALLAS

The major plotlines of the NBA Finals to this point have been Dirk Nowitzki's shooting prowess and LeBron James' Game 4 disappearing act — but nobody is talking about the Dallas Mavericks' total inability to keep their hands off one another, The Wall Street Journal reported Thursday
Based on a review of ABC's broadcasts of the first three games of these Finals, The Journal logged every moment when two teammates could be seen touching each other on camera, whether it ... Read More

With the release of Jay Triano the former head coach of the Toronto Raptors; who could they (Colangelo) posssibly get to come up here and do a good job? Any takers?; i am stumped, by all availables coaches that could come in here and do a good job and get the Young Raptors to the playoffs next year. good luck to them; Go Raptors!
Or am i more happy to see Shaq retire, and stop pushing the envelope? He's a played like an overweight shawdow of himself the last three seasons. I felt that he ... Read More

So i woke today, like any other day; and like usual, check my emails, have some cereal, and open up my browser and click on OS; and BAM; MAdden12 this madden12 that.
What in the world happened? Did i miss some type of Madden Expo? Did they already release the game and i wasn't aware? "NO", to simply put it; it is the Madden "hype" beginning it's 5 month trek until release. It took me an extra 30mins to get through all of the new tidbits on Madden12 features and new "gimmicks", i say this ... Read More

This will be short and to the point.
Can someone tell me why the dev teams from Madden12 and Ncaa12 are wasting my time posting plays from either game, which nobody will use, because they just don't WORK?
Let's face it people; the game has not changed drastically from 09' to 11' on either platform other than the slight graphic upgrade and lighting! So how are you feeding me nuggets of "good" infomation? I am not a coach? I am a hardcore game player, that wants to see videos of how ... Read More

Yes, yes, and yes...
I have read many reviews, blogs and info on Nascar2011 the game; and have decided to make my own decision! As everyone else should do. Everything read or seen is about a 50/50 split; lovers and haters. This game is FUN regardless of what people where looking specifically for may it be; Real crashes, real damage; correct pitstops. IMO it's a racing game with lots of authenticity, and captures a lot of that nacsar feel and theme. i have a video of the online play, where ... Read More

After looking at the frenzy of trade(s) that happened today; i feel in favor of a lockout!
teams were discarding players like they never played for the team. It was kinda sickening to watch and hear throughout the day. I write this to you all about one of my other favourite teams: Portland Trailblazers; who were in okay shape coming down the stretch run towards the playoffs; and now happened to get derailed by their management. What are they thinking in their conference rooms while this ridiculous ... Read More

Well, it's that time again each year where good teams get better and make deep playoff runs; and bad teams restructure roster and free up cap space for the summer. I had a quick chat with my cuzzo the other day; actually during the all-star break, as he was snubbed and not selected to play or be involved with All-Star weekend; and we touched upon a subject that just makes him so "UNEASY"; and that was the up and coming trade deadline in the NBA; coupled along with the possible lockout looming. Now ... Read More

""Jon Robinson: You mentioned the tuner sets that will be in "Madden NFL 12." Can you explain how that addition will benefit gamers?

Ian Cummings: Anytime there's a bug or an exploit after launch, the majority of time you have to patch it. And doing a patch or a title update requires approvals and you need to resubmit the game. The whole process usually takes about four-to-six weeks to turnaround, from the day you make your fix to the day it gets out to consumers. But with tuner sets, ... Read More

It's been confirmed throughout the net. 2k, has abandoned yet another incomplete project. i had wished for soo many things to be fixed in this game and yet; disappointment has set across my face.
(source: http://www.pastapadre.com/2011/01/17...g-for-nba-2k11 )
To me, this is bad business practice; and is the same stuff that they do over at EAsports. So why? would i think 2K would be any better? They are not even close, when it comes to quality control. This news ... Read More

Talk about blowning up a few rosters at the quarter way into the season! Now it seems the central point of this TNT keg is the Orlando Magic. While in a bit of an on the road slump; at 16-9 record in the eastern conference, that's solid. Now having a dominate center in todays game is rare in the NBA; but to surround him with some misfits..? Agent Zero; can it get any worst; for gun totting creeps, who can't stand the site of losing at a game of dice. Hedo "i can't play tonite, because i am hung ... Read More

Well, it's that time of year once again. I mean the virtual all-star break in the b-ball sim world. Don't tell me you have participated in one yet? You don't know about it? Well, let me break it down to you.
I had the simple task of explaining it to my new found xboxlive friend what i meant; and for all those that don't understand, this was a quick synopsis of what it is.
We all (b-ball sim gamers) are hyped watching videos of our newest version to the basketball sim genre on any ... Read More

Don't be surprised if we don't see NBA anything next season from EA. Do people see what happens went you create bad products (one and done). I saw this a mile away; as i stated in some of my rants (on Gamefaqs) during the late summer, with all those garbage videos of ELITE 11. Now, look where things have gone (SOUTH -Tiburon). That was an Air-ball. In this time and age; companies better listen to their communities better and more; because this is a clear representation of a dev team that wanted ... Read More
