It's fun to play GM and get your team to be really good. I don't have time to wait around to play 82 games before ONE season is finished..
I actually play games, and its about 10 times more fun than simming. My friend's a simmer and I'm a gamer. It's more rewarding when you win a championship. More intense to. For example, I was playing Madden 07 in my franchise, and I was 7-6, and went 3-0 in the final 3 games to come back and take the division. Then I got smoked in the first playoff game. Even though I got smoked it was more fun, and showed me where I needed to improve my team, rather than just looking at the simmed score.
yeah playing is much better, I always play all the games... Well I got this yesterday and decided to be a bad team, so I am the RaptorsPG-TJ FordSG- Morris PetersonSF- Andrea BargnaniPF- Chris BoshC- OlowakandiIm on my 3rd game, we are 0-2 because I play all star and I am not rly that good, I like a challenge. I lost by 20 to the nets and by 5 to the Bucks in OT.o yeah and I play 8 min quarters

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (CelticBalla32 @ Dec 24 2006, 02:41 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}></div><div class='quotemain'>I finally just finished my first regular season! I played all 82 games on 10 minute quarters (I didn't sim any, I hate that). I went 44-38, I won the Atlantic Division. Al Jefferson won 6th Man of the Year (12 points and 7 rebounds with a block) and Rajon Rondo surprisingly made the All-Rookie 1st Team (with averages of only 5 points, 2 rebounds, 4.5 assists, and 1.5 steals). So, since I won the division, I got 4th seed in the playoffs, and I'm playing the Wizards in the first round of the playoffs. I havn't played Game 1 yet, but I will tomorrow. I heard the gameplay is harder in the playoffs and I also heard there are more dunk/layup animations. I heard the entire environment is much better, like real life. I hope all that is true, I can't wait to find out.</div> My first season is officially over. I just got eliminated by the Heat in the Eastern Conference Semi-Finals. I lost the series 4-1. I beat Washington 4-1 in the first round though. The Heat ended up winning the championship (vs. Denver). Wow, I finally finished season 1. I played all 82 games in 10 minute quarters, and the same for the playoffs. 92 games.
I started one a few days ago with the Kings, fantasy draft. My pick was 21st. I am 5-4 right now I think on Superstar.PG: Marcus WilliamsSG: Michael ReddSF: Carmelo AnthonyPF: Charlie VillaneuvaC: LaMarcus Aldridge (via trade)Bench:Gerald GreenDesmond MasonRyan GomesA 7'3" Chinese dude who's name I can't think of lol.Steve Blake (via free agency)My team isn't staked, but it doesn't suck. I was lucky and got Michael Redd as the 42nd pick in the draft somehow. Boykins went in front of him! Anyways, I love to run the 1-3-1 with them for some reason it just works. I don't want to go downstairs and check it to write down stats lol.
Well I took the rookies out of college hoops..... So I have me and my friends on my teamPG. Me MArcus Rating 73SGAntwan.. a friend Rating 75SF Licari friend rating 65PF Denzel friend Rating 83C....Greg Oden rating 84
I just started another dynasty a few days ago with the Nuggets after the AI trade and everything (updated rosters). I didn't offer any teams any trades, I only looked at the offers they gave me so far. Right now this is what my team looks likeG - Allen IversonSG - Larry HughesSF - Carmelo AnthonyPF - Kenyon MartinC - Marcus CambyMy bench is the same bench I started the season with, with the exception of the player that was packaged with JR Smith for Hughes (I can't remember who it was off the top of my head).Right now I am 5-0, playing an 82-game season with 10 minute quarters on Superstar difficulty.
<span style="font-family:Comic Sans MS">Am I the only one who plays 12 minute quarters?I'm going to start playing 5 minute quarters just because I feel like playing more games in a certain amount of play time.</span>

He is listed as a PF in the game haha. And besides, if you want to, you could play Bassy at center and O at point guard. EDIT: No TA in your rotation?

Gomes is listed as a PF and in my rotations I have him as my 2nd PF and 3rd SF, yet they always put him in at SF. They put Scalabrine in over him. I also have TA in my rotation as well, but he doesn't play often, I guess because I play on 7 minute quarters. In the last game I just played (Cavs raped me by 21), Allen got in, everyone except Rondo actually. I shot 6-30 with Pierce and Wally But Gerald had 12

I just had an amazing game against the Celtics in my Wizards association. I was losing the whole game, and never had a lead (until later in the game..I'll get to that in a second.) I was down 19 with 1:12 left, and I started running Fullcourt Trap, really getting pressure on Boston by throwing double teams that were really the 1,2 punches on them. I drew the game to 81-78, losing in the 4th with 17 seconds to go; Gil was out of the game, so I drove the lane with Daniels, he was fouled; I missed the first FT, and made the second. I had to foul them, so they wen to the line, and split their free throws. I subbed Arenas in, came down the court, and bombed a 3 on them to make it 82-81. They went up to the line again, and split their free throws once more.I took a timeout with 10.6 seconds left. I inbounded it to Arenas and isolated around the two wings with Arenas being guarded by West; I started to drive near the left baseline, stepped back, fadeaway, pop, at the buzzer. I tied it at 83, and we went to overtime.I ended up winning 104-87, blowing them out in OT. Antonio Daniels came into OT only having 5 points in the game, and later exploding, by ending the game with 22 points. Arenas finished with 42.
Im 2-1 with the Knicks on Hall of Fame.my last game vs Indiana I had 34 points, 11 assist, 4 steals with Nate Robinson, Crawford is injured for 25 days. Francis had 21 vs Indian and Marbuy hit clutch 3s to cloe them out. 96-89. Channing Frye went 1-10 from the field but had 7 blocks.

This is why I hate auto-subs, and I always do all my subs manually.
