Who you guys playing with?

Re: Who you guys playing with?

chia, you're on to something....I'm going to play with Memphis.

It's fun because if you lose... you already had the cards stacked against you and if you win then you really stick it to someone.

A good tip though is run with OJ Mayo at the PG over Conley or Lowry (which is where OJ should be anyway as soon as Memphis trades off Conley) and use Ross or Jaric at the SG position. It makes it much more competitive

Philly and Memphis...OJ can be a beast at times

Re: Who you guys playing with?

LOL! You have got to be kidding me! Fix the stupid IR!

4 or 5 teams or completly unplayable. Stinks

They manage to do fine in real life.

People get hurt, It sucks, but it happens.

What do you want fixed? If they're on IR, they can't be played with in the game. That's part of our whatever happens in real-life, happens in game. Just wondering what you're talking about.

I have to keep Conley there man. I'm a buckeye for life!

But I'm knocking heads in with the Grizz here in the office. Fun team to run w/. Especially after Gay, Gasol and Mayo's ratings update.

Re: Who you guys playing with?

I always play with the Raptors - even when that goof Stephensonmc messes with their ratings.

Note for OS mods: I know Steph personally. My comment was made in humour.

Re: Who you guys playing with?

To the guys who play with Memphis, do y'all use Arthur or Hak at PF? I usually use Arthur as I like him a lot more in real life. I also have a tendency to play Lowry at point instead of Conley. I watch almost every Grizz game and it always seems like Lowry plays harder so I like him more. When I put Mayo at the point, I'll go with Gay at the 2 and put Miles at the 3.

BTW, it's great to see people using the Grizz. Hopefully we can win the Lottery this year and have Griffin in there next season! (Pretty sad when that's about all you have to look forward to this season)

It depends who I'm playing like if I am running again PHX or even Boston and I need another big to contend with a big PF or I need to double up on a Center like Shaq or D Howard I will throw Hamed Haddadi in there to help because his defense and rebounding ratings are great in the game.

Much to Steph's certain disapproval I dislike Conley very much in the game and out and wish that Memphis would unload him to get some "hope" in return. I either run the point with Lowry or Mayo and if I am trying to keep it more realistic I go Gasol, Warrick, Gay, Jaric, Mayo. I like Arthur but just not enough to play him over Warrick. If the game had more fatigue based on the time (like have the fatigue adapt to the time played as if it was a full length game) I would have MANY MANY more options to run players with different setups. As it stands I never throw Ross in there unless someone fouls out.

I hope the online fatigue next year is proportioned to the game time that way it can get more chess like with the options we can run with.

I train at the martial arts school Eric the Grizz works out at when he can and I showed him one day a pic I took of him in NBA Live 09 and he dug it.

The more I think about NBA Live the more I wish September would hurry up )

Re: Who you guys playing with?

I'm one of the few that doesn't want the Grizzlies to move Conley just yet. Let's see if Hollins opens up the offense and let's the team run. If that happens, Conley's the perfect fit. I felt Iavaroni did a horrible job at developing the youth we have and that was part of Conley's problem. So many PG's were horrible when they first entered the league with names like Nash and Parker coming instantly to mind. Give the guy another year as the return value for him I felt wasn't that great (Outlaw from Portland and Sessions and Alexander from Milwaukee).

Also, I can't play Haddadi at all. The guy is trash and a beautiful waste of 3.5 million. I basically do a three man rotation at C and PF with Gasol, Hak, and Arthur. When Darko comes back, I'll likely give him some pt. I'm basically done with online play though. I get tired of playing against users who just turn it into a fastbreak game and constantly hit the x button to score. If they run a half court set, it'll be pump fake at the three point line (which I never fall for but for some reason the guy I'm controlling gets sucked in), then a couple cross over dribbles, x button, and two points. Online play is just annoying to me.

Re: Who you guys playing with?

I got great return for Conley in Dynasty and I moved Hamed (cause he demands too much money next year on there)

I ended up only keeping Mayo to build around hehe

As for Online play I know what you mean, it's frustrating that some people ONLY care about winning above all

Hey Steph,

I was going back to the old arguement about not being able to use players that are on the IR for any game mode.
MY OPINION, the IR is fine for Rewind games. That's what really reflects the whole in real life thing. But for a single, stand alone, quick on line game I THINK that you should be able to use players like Redd, Gilbert, Boozer ect. The arguement that "I get tired of getting killed by Jose Calderon when he should be injured" makes little sense to me. The real scoop is that when low to mid level teams like the Wiz, Bucks and Jazz have key players injured they really can't compete with the top 5 or 6 teams. I don't know if you guys can track which teams are used on line but if you could I am sure that the Wiz, Jazz & Bucks almost never get played with. Instead of putting Redd on the IR you might as well remove the Bucks from the game. I've played over 350 games on line and it always Lakers, Celtics, Cavs, Suns. I'd rather take on, or play with, some lesser teams every now and then. Kinda stinks playing with a Reddless Bucks team against the Lakers. (Even you said you had to find a new team). Is that what 365 is really about?
All the IR does for on line play is force even more battles between elite teams. I know I'm going against the vocal minority but I believe my opinion represents the silent majority. Go into an online lobby and ask the room what they think about all the injuries.
Keep the IR for Rewind and part of Dynasties if you must. Remove it for stand alone, quick online games.

Thanks for askin by the way. I do love the game. i would love it more if...

peace

Re: Who you guys playing with?

I think I'm gonna roll with the Thunder from now on. They have a young core and Durant is a beast.
