Don't join leagues if you don't have the time. It's really that simple. I work 40 hours a week and fit the games into my sched.
It's not really fair to the rest of us to be waiting around till the deadline EVERY week for the SAME players....

Did you notice the "
" ?????????????That's kinda used to make a joke or give sarcasm. Maybe you need to relax man.
And for the record. I work way over 40 hours a week. Plus I train 5 days a week. Plus I go to physiotherapy 2 times a week. Plus I have a wife and a kid. Plus we live on different sides of the freakin continent. You got a problem with waiting? Gee I seem to make the deadlines don't I?? Relax man. I'm not trying to be unfair. Bump me if you need to.
Ram and I even tried to play our game. But we got booted out. And we were planning on playing today but Live seems to be running pretty poorly for some people.
Cloudy said:No one is bumping you but since your sched is tight, you might wanna try to play games before the last few days. No one in here is really trying to hear the whole"I'm too busy" thing, joke or not
I try to play my games every single night. Every night I am home I hope to be able to meet the demands of my oppenents schedule. Because I don't wanna hold the league up. But throwing the guilt at me isn't really fair, joke or not.
I have even come home in between appointments to play my game, and then run off to train a client. Don't make comments about me holding the league up. The league has deadlines to play games by. I do my best to make those deadlines. Period

Good game Malley. When I was down by 2 I thought what a good game this was, the best and closest I'd ever played...and I would have said this win or lose...although not as quickly if I had lost
I'm a sore loser usually. Nevertheless, I thought it was a great game and we both had our chances. I took too many shots with Peja (THAT MISSED!) early on, but then I got the ball to some other guys and saved the big dog for the end.
edit: What the heck happened if DM and FMT's game?
Shaq with only 10 shots, and Wade with 31, and of course T Mac with 48 shot attempts.

I wouldn't call it an exploit but it's the same thing I've been bitching about since Week 1. If you shoot enough with a good player, you'll get good numbers.
Not totally unrealistic but more than a bit lame for videogames IMO. I guess it's up to the defense to capitalize on the misses and I personally try to do that

i dont know if superstar would be better or not, but i DO know that my team (as it is now) can't hit outside shots that are contested AT ALL. unless i am wide-open, i'm normally not going to hit a shot. now against dm, it was a bit the other way, but i'm still not confident in any type of mid-range game.
i think that alone makes the game WORSE on superstar. i guess its 2 extremes. either you deal with great outside shooting even by mediocre players (superstar) or you have absolutely no outside game and it becomes a "who can get the most fast break points and dunks" game.
i dont know about you guys, but if someone triple teams my center, i should be killing people from outside. this is not the case. i'm not bitching about this or complaining (cause i'd do it too), but the last few games all anyone needs to do against me is pretty much triple team shaq down low and 1 of 3 things will happen:
1. ball is "stolen" on the entry pass
2. ball gets into shaq, then he is "tied" up, and by the time the pass gets to the open man, the D is there to smother him as well
3. ball gets to the open man, but he misses anyways
this isn't realistic to me. i'll admit the majority of my scoring came from fast breaks and lucky 3's. it's not even that shaq is "so dominant" stats wise. they modeled him terribly: he doesn't throw the ball down, he has no power downlow (i have posted up everyone from vlade divac to mike bibby and he can't move them back at all), and the "shot animations" the game chooses for him are simply ricockulous.
call this bitching if you like (it is), but that's the reality of the situation. i think sliders could fix most everything, but i guess that isn't a possibility. as it is now, shooting has nothing to do with skill but more of a luck game. doesn't seem like being opened or covered has much to do with it at all.
p.s. when shaq can guard T-mac at the 3 point line, and not only prevent him from driving, but strip the ball from him, guess what? the defense is broke as fizuuuuuuuuck
