Official NBA2K9 GAF Season...6(?) Thread!

To be honest, I really don't want to take the time to learn another team much less a fantasy draft. I don't know the NBA well enough to properly construct a whole team. Besides, with all the crazy trades I've seen this season it is almost the same thing. So if the next season is a fantasy draft I'll sit it out. Let me know ASAP so I can get good trade value for the game after my playoff run is done.

One series (Nuggets/Suns) there is a legitimate reason...pheeniks' 360 is broke, but MS has it.

Spurs/Lakers there really isn't. AKA has made his schedule known and has PM'd Hunter and has not gotten a response. He can at least stop in and say when he'll be able to play this week or SOMETHING.

Yeah right son. Keep hope alive, I'll be sure to stop by and pay you a visit after I collect my (hopefully!) 3rd ring. I'll even let you hold it.

Let it be known, i had Lebron for one season ( got MVP with him ) i really dont like his shot...although getting him number one might net me a boat load in a trade :D Tru and i had a great draft plan going into the last Fantasy Draft 2k league.

Draft league can be set up in different ways to prevent stacking.. We did that when i was commish.. Something like

1 90+ rated player
2 85-89's
2 80-84's and the rest under 80..

It's possible

that wouldnt even be necessary. im sure everyone here knows enough about nba basketball so everything will balance out,its just like fantasy bball.

i meant as in if people know what they are doing there will be no need for restrictions in drafting. teams will naturally balance out. unless you are saying you have no faith in the bball knowledge of the ppl in our league.

No i am trying to say that if we allow allstar teams there's no fun to it..Drafts should be about knowledge of the game and players... Not oh crap i have Nash, Paul or Kidd to choose from with the last pick to make my dream team..(sarcastic of course)

yea thats true. we should just use real teams then i think

No thats why we can draft with the draft restrictions.. it's alot of fun and alot of strategy to build your team. Thats Fantasy.

well, that should be nearly impossible if we had the same amount of teams again.

people would have 1, maybe 2 90+ rated players. with the majority of teams having the bulk of their players in the 70-89 range.

and even if teams had 2 90+ rated players, that's no different than nearly half the teams as-is.

i think the best thing to come out of the draft would be more balanced teams because no one gets stuck with knicks/okc/wolves/griz/etc. everyone will have sufficient players to win games, and no one can complain that "i have x team and can't win games."

a draft restriction might help eliminate some reservations that other potential players have though.

Exactly a level playing field thats was my point without a dream team

ya, i totally agree with you.

the problem seems that people are auto-bailing out of the league if we go fantasy, which would make the dream team scenario much more feasible.

i think if we still can get ~20 people again, we should make the league as balanced as possible--aka fantasy.

Hunter i wont be around Weds night as something came up.. So i guess dont even bother trying to get in contact with me.. Bec im only avail 9p-11p est Thursday night and that isnt enough tme to complete a potential 7 game series..

Good luck in the sim..

I apologize to the others who have been playing...
 
yeah i think we should just play with the teams we pick, but i will still play next season if we do fantasy draft.

i've just seen too many fantasy drafts fall apart so whatever
