:lol i didn't mention this part

"We will ship you a box to return to us, and that box will get to you within 24 hours"

"It'll come tomorrow? Really?"

"Yes, since this is your 3rd time fixing this xbox, we will make it much quicker!"

"Tomorrow's Sunday. How will it get to me?"

"Oh....well, expect it on Monday!"

 

[kirbybreezy]

I'll put it at 7pm central for the Blazers/Lakers series.

I highly doubt we're going to get 2-4 games today, just a hunch. I really dont like holding you guys up, but there's nothing I can do.

I know if these games sim though, the Lakers will win lol. 50/50 my ass

 

[Mrbob]

I can definitely back kirby up by saying he was always ready to play games with me at any time in our series.

If the Lakers auto win through another series that would be crazy.

 

[FrenchMovieTheme]

i wish 2k would adjust it so the commish could assign the wins. doesn't seem fair when someone has been willing to play and the other guy gets the sim win (not that im saying that in aka vs. kirby instance, just in general)

 

[DiddyBop]

well,2k has to think about corrupt GMs potentially popping up in other leagues,auto assigning wins wouldnt work in that situation. GMs would going all Vince McMahon and fixing games:lol

but i do see what youre sayin,i was wondering the same thign when i couldnt get ahold of hunter d for one of our games a while back.

I gave aka the first series to be fair and now he isn't playing at all.

Anyone want to play?

Fivering better no lose a series because of sim. He had one of the best records in the league.

 

[ecnal]

I'll play

I am able to assign wins.

That's how I was able to sim the Spurs/Lakers game at Hunter's request.

I don't ever do it though unless it is necessary. Otherwise I let the game handle it.

 

[FrenchMovieTheme]

but you couldn't in the regular season?

 

[Hunter D]

I'll play

heading on now. What team do you use in league?

 

[ecnal]

jazz, but we don't have to do a league game if u want to play other teams.

doesn't matter to me.

 

[Smokey]

but you couldn't in the regular season?

I remember there being an issue in the beginning when the game was a bug test, but then I guess it was put in. I kept trying to do it through the website and it wouldn't let me, but then after that first week or so of our league I guess they fixed it and I posted about it when it became enabled.


Which will come in handy a lot more next season as it's pretty easy to spot who's playing and who isn't.

 

[Hunter D]

jazz, but we don't have to do a league game if u want to play other teams.

How do we have a match. You aren't on my fr.

 

[ecnal]

ill invite you hunter, hold on.

 

[FrenchMovieTheme]

oh i see they patched it after our league had started.

didn't you say they were also going to look into making the game actually "see" the division setup so we dont have a repeat of this season?

 

[ecnal]

your connection is still pretty spotty hunter :lol

i also wouldn't played D like that in our league--you will get complaints.

 

[Hunter D]

Its your connection. I played vik and had no problem except for some weird game ending glitch.

 

[ecnal]

probably routing issue then.

i've never played a game that laggy before. i'm also getting the 'waiting for opponent' timeout message for you--although i suppose you could be seeing the same thing for me.

 

[DCX]

Anybody want to play a scrimmage?

DCX

 

[Smokey]

When I talked to the 2K developer, they said they didn't have enough time to make it where the game recognizes the conferences when doing playoff seedings. But I could move around the teams that made it into the post season to get it how it should be. Of course the problem with that is the game still goes by overall standings, so if one team got in that shouldn't of according to the conference standings...it won't let me take that team out and put the correct team in.

Im gonna see how things are by the time the season starts... i want to play and see how my skills are... if i have the jazz its cool.... if not i will get acquainted with the other teams available.. I actually like the fact that people actually want my team..

Oh so you haven't played 2K9 yet (online)?

If you're coming straight from 2K8...then yeah...there's some things that are a bit different.

 

[ecnal]

so, any idea of the lakers/blazers series is actually going to get finished by 7pm CT?

maybe we can advance now

 

[Herpes Reasons]

Its your connection. I played vik and had no problem except for some weird game ending glitch.

yes. also, what team are you picking next season?
the greatest GM never sleeps!

 

[Smokey]

I'm holding the advancement until 7pm.

Beside I'm still putting the finishing touches on my gameplan/strategy against you.

 

[ecnal]

uh oh @_@

 

[kirbybreezy]

Professa Skillz is Aka's other gamertag right?

 

[Malleymal]

does anyone want to play after the afc game??? also what changes are in 2k9 ... like i heard there was a way to boost attributes during timeouts or something..

 

[Smokey]

Professa Skillz is Aka's other gamertag right?

No, that's a completely different person.

does anyone want to play after the afc game??? also what changes are in 2k9 ... like i heard there was a way to boost attributes during timeouts or something..

Yeah you can put emphasis on certain attributes during timeouts (defense, shot selection, rebounding etc.)

I was more talking about gameplay differences. There really aren't any that major but if you played 2k8 alot, it is an adjustment. Kind of hard to explain unless you play a few games.

 

[ecnal]

wait, what?! :lol

 

[Herpes Reasons]

wait, what?! :lol

ugh. smh.

 

[ecnal]

wtf... i've never heard of such thing. everyone knows about this except me?! :lol

how do you do it?

edit: wow i never noticed you could hit the triggers for different menus during a timeout @_@

 

[ecnal]

so what does shot selection do? that doesn't make sense because the user takes all the shots.

 

[kirbybreezy]

You up for a game or 2 Cerrius?

 

[Smokey]

VS.

AND

VS.

winners move on to play for:

Deadline...next Sunday. Although I'm sure we'll move on before then.

 

[strikeselect]

You up for a game or 2 Cerrius?

I'll be around after the Heat/Thunder game.

 

[ChrisJames]

Hey guys sorry to disappear again, i've been really busy the last few weeks. I don't have internet access at my house yet, but I will by this coming weekend. Now I'm just hoping that my connection won't be laggy...

 

[ecnal]

i found my new starting point guard: carlos boozer.

i'll use shaq as his backup. :lol :lol

sorry about that game smokey, but seriously after i miss like 10+ contested layups in a row and then tmac/iverson/whoever make or get fouled on the exact same shots, there's no reason to to take the game seriously.

and as proven by boozer's shooting prowess, this game deals certain players bad games (nash, brewer, korver, okur, etc) and it balances the statistical shooting difference by giving other players higher FG %.

boozer was 2/3 from 3point at one point. he shot over 50% and over 60% of his shots were purposefully out of his range. edit: wait, looking at his shot chart, he missed more shots inside the paint than he did from deeeep midrange :lol :lol

a friend and i did this the other day with the exact same results. this only confirms it yet again. pretty pathetic.

assuming i don't miss wide open jumpers/layups next game, i'm coming back into the series. this last game was just a detour on the crazy train that is 2K9.

crazy game. i figured you weren't taking it seriously..so some other players in to work on their shot release, ft's etc.

we'll see what happens in utah!

 

[ecnal]

i tried to make my case in game.

i think 4 (maybe 5?) missed wide open shots by okur. then boozer dribbles down the court, iso motioning everyone out of the way, and drains a 3. and at one point i think boozer was even on fire... how can boozer catch fire while shooting ~20ft jumpers? :lol

 

[Herpes Reasons]

who wants to scrim??

 

[Malleymal]

who wants to scrim??

[Hunter D]
