Re: What might've been.. a Convergence! NBA2K11 [COACH MODE]



Kobe vs my 90s Knicks.. after snapping my losing streak I was hoping to get some momentum going but I knew this was going to be a tough one at Staples center.

dead last in the division 12th in the conference.. this being a 29 game season I knew right away I needed more scoring options coming off the bench so I signed a Free Agent and switched up some Player Roles to try to give my team a lift


Free Agent Signee: Player Role: SIXTH MAN



Demoted Player Role: Role Player


We'll see how it goes from here on out.. it ain't much but any spark is a welcome spark for my Knickerbockers right now

This is the "presentation" aspect that has seperated NBA2K11 from the rest.. the first taste I'm gonna give you all.. in one word I can sum it all up: SEAMLESS

the presentation ties the game to the action right to break... it's seamless and *perfectly executed*, amazing job by 2K Sports

damn I hate the auto-save feature in some ways..

got home way late last night after my Yankees finished off the twins.. it's around 3 am i fire up nba2k11 and play some games online

afterwards i sim ahead in my chise just to see the draftees...

big big mistake, autosave overwrote my save file

oh well, not gonna stop my chise here, lol i know where i am in the calendar so just going to sim right back to the date

if you notice records/power rankings/etc change, had to sim back up to the point i was in, lol

GAME RESULT BOXSCORE

Spoiler

We actually exploded after the half tying the game.. but got into foul trouble late in the 3rd and the Magic had a run of their own which led to their blowout win..

My Knicks have to get it together.. there's only so many games left in the season (18 I think) and right now we're not in the playoff cut yet

Game Highlight.. an Alley-oop executed to perfection

Re: What might've been.. a Convergence! NBA2K11 [COACH MODE]



you know, it doesn't matter what sport it is.. football, baseball, basketball, no matter.. an *** whoopin is an *** whoopin. Well, my Knicks got destroyed by Yao's Rockets.


gotta pull it together, the season is rapidly passing by and I have to find out if I can get my team to put some kind of streak together for a playoff run but right now it ain't lookin too hot

At least you played a respectable 4th quarter.

Yao's a beast in this game, he blocks Patrick Ewing's shots like nothing -.- IMBALANCE!

GAME BOX SCORE


Dirk Nowitski is in a league his own.. he poses such matchup problems but what is more disconcerting to me is the fact that my teams' strength: DEFENSE has been sorely lacking and missing.. the season is winding down and it's not looking good for my Knickerbockers

GAME BOXSCORE


the losing streak continues I was actually glad to be back home in the Garden but even playing in front of the homecrowd can't shake my Knicks out of their slump

TEAM SUMMARY


EAST PLAYOFF PICTURE - WEST PLAYOFF PICTURE


Doubt has crept in my head.. 16 games remaining in this nba season and I am 6 games back of the final playoff spot.. I hope we pull it together but this Association is extremely tough.. just every game is against a good team there's no bad teams to feast on

actually, they feasting on me! ...still, I keep hope alive

Re: What might've been.. a Convergence! NBA2K11 [COACH MODE]



it seems I can't buy a win my ego as a coach is certainly taking a beating right now.. I know the problem but can't seem to find a way to get my players to play to their capability.

What sucks most is that we've faded in the 4th qtr which has led to these 15-20+ blowouts in 5 straight games now.. and it ain't looking better.. my next 3 games?
-Magic's Lakers
-Kobe's Lakers
-Karl Malone, John Stockton and the Jazz
.....this is what I wanted after all.. get all the teams here and let's all fight it out but man I never imagined my 90s Knicks to be taking such a beating

Re: What might've been.. a Convergence! NBA2K11 [COACH MODE]

humbling.. this is truly humbling
facing Magic Johnson and the classic Lakers..


6 game losing streak, 14 games left in the season, 7 games back of the last playoff spot.. I'm humbled, still.. hoping my team makes a run of some sort but it ain't easy, this franchise is simply a tough TOUGH chise with all these classic teams in the field amongst the best of today

[tomriddle]

Re: What might've been.. a Convergence! NBA2K11 [COACH MODE]

I should be happy.. this was 32-35 Lakers at the half but this is yet another loss for my Knickerbockers


I don't take any morale victories or anything.. don't really care that Kobe's Lakers are the #1 team in the league, or it was 32-35 at the half.. a 7 game losing streak is still that


"Crazy" John Starks with a thunderous jam


hey, gotta take my highlights wherever I can right, and this is a primetime dunk!

Re: What might've been.. a Convergence! NBA2K11 [COACH MODE]

this was a great, great game! Double Overtime, thriller's down to the last second!! ....but this is what, 7 in a row now?! my ego is taking a huge huge beating..
