dang i hate the magic, they beat me again

Just got the game for PS3 and started a fantasy draft with the Heat. So far I'm 8-5, and in second place in my division. My starting lineup:

 

PG- Steve Nash

SG- Raja Bell

SF- LeBron James

PF- D.J. White

C- Shaq

 

Probably sounds like a good lineup, but I barely have any depth, and I had to give up a few draft picks. Also need to work on dishing out some of the bigger contracts.

 

as long as you got lebron you can win games. my lineup is more balanced with one star player and good role players.

 

PG - Derrick Rose (80)

SG - Stephen Jackson (84)

SF - Peja Stojakovic (80)

PF - Al Jefferson (91)

C - Andris Biedrins (81)

 

i have a deep bench but i had to give up all my draft picks to assemble this team. and i started the association with the kings and did trades because i don't like using fantasy drafts.

 

 

I was lucky and got one of the top picks in the draft, which was how I picked up James. Obviously, he's getting all the points, while Nash is getting all the assists, but the rest aren't doing too much, except for Shaq scoring a bucket here and there. Since my best bench player is only a 74 or a 75, I think I'm probably going to trade Shaq (84) for around a 78 or 79 center, and a decent backup forward or guard.

 

good luck trying to find a salary match with shaq making 20 million

my highest bench player is 76 (salmons) but the rest of my bench is between 74-75. i don't use them much except for stuckey, salmons, thompson, and hawes. but it's always good to have depth in case of an injury to a starter.

 

 

Actually, Shaq is signed with the Blazers for a 4 year/$19 million deal. Still couldn't work out a deal though. I might just let the season play out, keep him on the trading block, and wait and see what happens.

oh, i see.

 

just made a crazy trade and somehow acquired joe johnson. my new lineup is Derrick Rose (PG), Joe Johnson (SG), Peja Stojakovic (SF), Al Jefferson (PF), and Spencer Hawes (C ). downgraded at the center position but definitely improved my SG position.

You're right, fantasy drafts screw everything up. I felt like I was getting nowhere because I drafted the wrong people, so I just started a regular season with the Heat. Let's see how that goes.

exactly. and you feel more satisfaction in knowing you acquired players like in reality through trades. all you really need is to upgrade at PG and C. with the kings i pretty much had to upgrade in every position and the bench.

 

i was just messing around with the heat team and tried some trades if you're interested.

 

• marion, chalmers, wright, 1st rounder = baron davis, thornton
  
• sign jamal magloire. banks, magloire = okur, price, 2nd rounder
  
• quinn, future 1st and 2nd rounder = ramon sessions, 1st rounder
  
• sign jason williams. mourning, williams, jones, 1st rounder (from MIL) = artest, thompson
  

that would give you a linup of Baron Davis/Wade/Artest/Beasley/Okur. then you can do minor signings and trades to build your bench

 

for instance my kings team took over 20 trades/signing to assemble and it's pretty good if i may say so myself.

 

Starters

Derrick Rose (CHI)

Joe Johnson (ATL)

Peja Stojakovic (NO)

Al Jefferson (MIN)

Spencer Hawes (SAC)

 

Bench

Rodney Stuckey (DET)

Francisco Garcia (SAC)

John Salmons (SAC)

Jason Thompson (SAC)

Roger Mason (SA)

Linas Kleiza (DEN)

Chris Anderson (DEN)

Nicolas Batum (POR)

Sean Williams (NJ)

Dee Brown (FA)

 

so only 4 original players from the kings roster still remain on the team after all my trades and free agent signings.

Too bad I didn't see your ideas before I completely changed the Heat's lineup, lol. Starters:

 

PG- Chris Paul

SG- Charlie Bell

SF- Tayshaun Prince

PF- Michael Beasley

C- Dikembe Mutombo

 

I think I should be able to make the playoffs, plus my bench is pretty good. The only players I still have from the original Heat team are J-Will and Cook.

 

One thing I don't like about this game though, is that you can't sign a player higher than 85 and place them as a backup, or even a the sixth man. If you do, then they'll get pissed and they're morale will drop to around 25-50, and their rating will drop to around 75, making them a below average bench player. This pretty much makes it impossible to be the best team, which sucks.

that's a good lineup; i'm guessing you had to trade wade to get cp3. you'll probably have to sign a free agent after the season to play C because mutombo will probably retire on the game.

You guessed right, Wade is gone. I'm thinking about trading CP3 to get a center around 90, and one or two draft picks. Then, I might trade a pick and a decent bench player to get a PG around 85. It would make my team more balanced, and I would have another option to go to. A person I might want to trade CP3 for is Yao, a draft pick and maybe I can squeeze out an above average bench player.

getting yao would be a good idea so that you have a good low post player. i'm not sure what your salary flexibility is but if you want a PG around 85 you might want to try and get mo williams. or if you want to go more for a defense oriented PG with good speed you might want to try rondo or TJ ford.

 

i'm having lots of fun with nba 2k9 but i can't wait til mlb the show 09 comes out. i'm already contimplating what players i'm going to get on the marlins.

Right now, I think I'm at -$6 million, so I'll have to trade even salaries. I'm pretty sure Yao makes $14 million, so the salaries would almost be even.

I want this game so bad im stuck to playing 2k8

Im dying to know what the 08 Draft class Players are rated

EX

Rose Beasley Love OJ Mayo Lopez etc

 

Can someone please tell me

so did you get the game for christmas. i'm almost done with my first season with the sacramento kings. my team is totally badass. i made some more tweaks to my roster and here is what decided to go with:

 

PG - Devin Harris/Rodney Stuckey/Dee Brown (IR)

SG - Joe Johnson/John Salmons/Francisco Garcia/Hassan Adams (IR)

SF - Peja Stojakovic/Linas Kleiza/Nicolas Batum (IR)

PF - Tim Duncan/Paul Millsap/Chris Anderson

C - Spencer Hawes/Jason Thompson

 

i think it's a good combination of inside and perimeter scoring and young players that i can control for a while.

Yea i got it its sick they got almost everything down

I Got my Assosiation started with the Heat, in my 1st 3 games i was outrebounded by 45 so i really need a center but a young one

ok time to post my Heat team, in season 2011

 

PG: Brandon Marsh (3rd overall pick 2010)

SG: Dwayne Wade

SF: Lebron James

PF: Michael Beasly

Center: Al Horford

 

 

Bench: Chris Quinn, Robin Lopez, Brook Lopez, Shawn Marion, Dorell Wright, Daequan Cook, Marcus Banks

and yes its true the Heat are terrible at rebounding in the game. Trading to get Al Horford was a great deal

and yes its true the Heat are terrible at rebounding in the game. Trading to get Al Horford was a great deal

 

 

How in the Blue Hell do you have Lebron and Wade on the same team? :blink:

 

Can't get Horford i have him in my Hawks franchise

Also i can't get Aldrige i have him in my Thunder Assosiation

 

Are there any other choices :confused

 

P.S. Why do you not have Super Mario

P.S. Why do you not have Super Mario

 

I got Lebron in free agency. Wade accepted his player option. I traded Mario Chalmers early on to get that first round pick that landed me a beast PG Marsh who has been crazy good (I love Chalmers though). Haslem refused to return when i didn't give him much playing time. I had to get some of my Gator fanhood on the team, bringing in both Horford and Brewer

BTW what is the difference between association and franchise? I haven't played franchise tbh

My bad its assosiation and season and the difference is one is being a gm and going through everything like getting emails and NBA.com, chemistry, serious contracts etc, season is just playing with a team game by game all you have to do is play and resign or draft

 

I don't think there are any young talented players from UM in the NBA

no, there isn't. LOL

yo MP, do you play every game on the 82 game schedule? I use sim mostly, I tried to play every game for MLB 2k5 and it made me go crazy.

MarlinsPride what's your heat roster. you usually make better teams than me but this time i'm stacked with duncan, harris, and joe johnson

i think only the lakers and celtics have a better big 3 than i do with duncan, johnson, and harris. i don't simulate any of my games so i should win the title

so Fish Dynasty did you make any tweaks to your team like i did??
