This
is an AMAZING router. Finally hooked it up. I dunno if it's b/c I have a Wireless N card in my new laptop but I'm downloading shit WAY faster wirelessly on my laptop then when I was wired on my desktop with my old Netgear.
For XBL I'm showing full strength on my connection w/ no NAT errors or anything. Playing kirby right now in 2k9 and it connected the 1st time, and has zero lag. I dunno if it's because of the "GameFuel" network feature it has or what but shit is ballin' right now.
This is wireless to btw.
Didn't realize how shitty that Netgear router was.

no you have to delete the "saved game file" not the actual game itself, there are two files that show up.
1. the saved player
2. the game itself
just read which one it is before deleting

there is no way to can get 99 overall without cheating somehow, you only get to play 6 games and a few drills, they said that being 99 overall in your entire career is tough to do. Some people do get a lot of points if they are short

awesome. do it.WITNESS2K9 said:
i don't know about that high IQ thing.
luke walton supposedly also has high IQ.
i read in other boards that those players with 99 overall are just beta testers. they will be removed from the leaderboards.WITNESS2K9 said:

I kind of want to make that Shane Battier type of SF but I'm a bit concerned. I averaged 28 and 11 as an athletic SF and I don't think I could come close to averaging that (and as a result getting as many SP) with a slow 3 point specialist who defends or the opposite of that.
At the same time though while my SF might be great in MY NBA mode there is no guarantee that my athletic SF could be that much of a threat against custom made bigs and good team play in general since this guy isn't the greatest shooter (though I would work on his mid-range).
If I make a defensive SF that would be the best for team up but it would be a chore to level up and get him to a decent level because he just wouldn't average nearly as much. I score mostly as an athletic SF by beating guys off the dribble and getting to the rim. To make a Ron Artest type of player it would likely cost me a ton to upgrade my 3pt, Mid-Range, defensive abilities, and etc...
I'll try to see how it works out in combine. Do we have any actual centers?

Yes, I am the center. I am making my guy Shaquille O'neal II. Lots of strength, standing dunk, close shot, and shoot from post.
I'm averaging 15 points, 15 rebounds, 3 blocked shots, 70% shooting, 3 assists, and 1-2 steals a game.
How the fuck are you getting 28/11? :lol I guess its harder to put up numbers as a big man because 1) Everybody sucks at throwing entry passes (bounce passes galore) and 2) Everybody loves to shoot 3s and run.

Yeah my guy is constantly getting doubled in late game situations and its satisfying coming off curls and sinking jumpers in their faces before they can set up the D. It is about learning how to demand for the ball and attack as many times as possible without getting a bad grade. Initially I averaged something like 12 and 6 because I didn't know how to get the ball in my hands. I'd literally stand at the corner 3 and hope they passed me the ball. But now I just move around where I'm needed and get in a position where I can call for the ball without getting a score reduction.
I average 28 (will attempt to average 35 after I remake him today) b/c these guys just can't keep up with his speed and size. At 6'9 with dunking ability I can get into the paint at will and I'm always the first guy out in transition for easy buckets.
Speed is so expensive (and so huge) that I'm thinking about just staying with my athletic guy. He can defend really well and even knock down jumpers...he just can't knock down a long ball or pass worth a damn.

I'd imagine it would be a little harder to demand the ball as a center if you're a back to the basket player. Given the 3 second violation you'd have to basically keep an eye on that, move in a position to demand the ball, run back in the paint and try to set up for a good score before a violation or where you can at least have a chance of actually making the shot.

Better than scrolling down and trying to remember stats.

I was going to make a KG-like PF but atm I'm leaning towards a standard all around SG. Who else is making a SG?

I'm done trying to get a better rating. I played about as well as I think I can play.
Drafted 2nd round 3rd pick Blazers :\
49 Overall
40.5 ppg
7 rpg
4.7 apg
3.5 spg
0.2 bpg
1.7 topg
60.6 FG %
.75 3PFG %
Now the boredom begins. Gotta wait until the game launches to improve.
I haven't noticed too much of a change with defensive awareness. Offensive awareness does seem to help me rebound better and react to loose balls to get my boards/steals up.
I haven't upgraded offensive or defensive rebounding. I'd imagine the rebounding animations would be improved so you have a better reach once you jump but I find the vertical statistic to be a better help in the early run.
Also I don't know how to make players set screens when I don't have the ball. I set screens and move or run at angles to get open for shots.

I would say 1700 on average? I would have to check. Mental stats seemed to really raise the bar. Offensive/defensive awareness/consistency boosted me up pretty quickly early but started to barely lift me up later. It's a shame because I was a 47 after 3 games and if I would have found a better way of distributing I might have gotten in the lower 50's.
Ultimately the overall for the DC is worthless though. I'll admit I was mainly looking to get my overall up and average the best stats that I could. If you have a character with a lower than 50 overall that doesn't necessarily mean you have an inferior character. I very badly wanted to upgrade my shooting more because I knew that would make me more effective but I doubt it would have boosted my overall very much because of how much the points cost.
At the end of the day everything will balance out eventually for everyone so long as they are playing. People that are developing more appropriately (core things that matter but take a while to upgrade...speed, 3pt shot, etc) may be as low as an overall of 45 after done with DC, but may have skills that will transfer more easily to crew games once its all said and done. On the other hand those that upgrade stats are a little less meaningful to crew games like I did are going to have to concentrate on upgrading stats that will allow more options against live opponents.
Short version: Your overall doesn't matter right now. Everyone is going to have to create a player that can be effective against live players and a high overall doesn't guarantee success. My slashing SF has to really work on his jumpshot for example. There is no way I am going to be able to average 40ppg and 8 boards a game against bigs like pheenix and others or good defending players. If I had changed the order of my upgrades I would have probably have 46 overall but would have had a better player despite what the numbers say.
