Because of 2k's shitty incoming prospect editing system and not being able to edit how players look, the prospect I edited to make it Tyler was a black bald dude. It looks nothing like him irl. :irked: That's why I'm kinda shying away from doing that. His game is just like his, but again, he looks nothing like him. Not even the same race! lol. I really should've picked a white prospect when I made Tyler lol.

haha. I don't know why 2K did that. In my Kings chise I did way back when, I just edited the white guys to be white guys, and black guys to be black guys. You have to mess around with the order though, or else you'll have too many highly rated guys.

One of the members on here named DragonsRule noticed that problem and updated the rosters to fix that problem for the PS3. Don't know if Mike used those rosters though.

 

[Justo]

knicks are horrible lol

 

[The Messenger]

hey mike can u possibly give me tell me where u got ur sliders.

I'm sure he could do both, young man.

 

[mfbmike]

Damn, you fucking rocked them. Nice to see Green getting some playing time too.

Yeah, my reserves pretty much played the entire second half. It owned. lol.

Is that number 4 guy Tyler? rofl

You're as dumb as dirt.

wow lupe fails at life. killer blow out

At one point, I was up like 78-39. I was like god damn! lol. At least Derozan had a dece game. I knew you'd be in here to see how he did. lol.

haha. I don't know why 2K did that. In my Kings chise I did way back when, I just edited the white guys to be white guys, and black guys to be black guys. You have to mess around with the order though, or else you'll have too many highly rated guys.

See, I would've done that but draft would've been fux0red imo. I basically looked at the incoming prospects, and took the best existing prospects to make them the real ones. Otherwise all the randomized prospects had the chance of being selected first. I just went down the list and edited from there. It's funny, in that last game, Derozan looked like a shorter, skinnier version of Alonzo Mourning. hahaa.

How did you get it to where the players rating won't increase to 90+ after every season? My hornets chise had everyone increasing at least +7 by the end of the reg season.

Not sure. Although I always start with the 11/06 (release date) rosters as opposed to the most recent roster updates. I manually edit rosters up to date. I hate the way 2k's roster updates work as far as ratings go. A guy has an awesome week and they bump him up 2/3 points. Fuck that. The default ratings are best. Granger is just now getting to the 90 rating. Had I used the most up to date rosters when I started this, he'd have started out as a 90 and probably been like a 95 right now. That's dumb.

No, I did not.

knicks are horrible lol

Yeah they are. Once they lose Curry and get rid of the horrible bench, they'll be better. Looks like they will build around Derozan/Lee/Galinari. I mean, they have no depth at all. Besides Harrington/Duhon and maybe Chandler, they have nothing. And that's not saying much.

Pacers Blow Out Knicks In Home Opener

In Danny Granger's mind, the worst part of last season for the Indiana Pacers was how they lost a number of games to inferior teams.

“That has to change,” Granger said.

Indiana is off to a fine start in that quest.

Marquis Daniels had 19 points to go with 7 rebounds and 5 assists. Brandon rush finished with 27 on 4-5 shooting from beyond the arch as the Pacers easily defeated the Knicks 120-75 in their home opener Monday night.

The 45 point massacre marks marks the largest victory margin for Indiana in Pacers history, let alone a home opener. And already, the Pacers have gotten to a place last year’s club never saw: 2-1.

The Pacers started off last year's season with a dismal 0-4 start, before falling as far back as 8-16, before finishing the season at an impressive 43-39.

A 23-3 run in the 1st quarter turned it into a rout for the Pacers, which gave up 47 points in a 4th quarter meltdown in Denver only a couple nights back—but looked nothing like the defensively challenged club that took the floor at the Pepsi Center.

"And I think we can get better," Pacers center Chris Kaman said.

New York didn’t hit the 60-point mark until 6 minutes remained.

“There is no explanation for it,” Knicks Coach Mike D'Antoni said.

Danny Granger scored 14 points for the Pacers. Jamal Crawford finished with 11 points and 5 assists, and like Granger, they both sat out the entire 2nd half. With the increase in minutes lastnight, Gerald Green scored 17 including one of his patented throwdowns while Anthony Randolph recorded a solid double double.

“They came out right away, set the tone and buried us,” said Knicks rookie guard Demar Derozan, who led the Knicks with 22 points.​

Player Of The Game:

Danny Granger

Quote Of The Game:
"If you thought the Sixers were talented last year, pfft, you should see them now. They have developed into quite a contender in the East. It was a close game from beginning to end. Luckily, we got the stops when we needed to down the stretch and Danny was there to knock down that last secomd shot to put us up. He had big games and buzzer beaters in this building last season and this season appears to be no different." - Pacers Head Coach Jim O' Brien

So yeah, Sixers starting lineup is pretty nice. They also have wally, willie green, sam young (rookie), sergio rodriguez and mareese speights off the bench. pretty nice 2nd unit imo. That was a nailbiter. whew.

 

[Maestro]

Nice start to the season Mike.

 

[Primetime]

Granger is a ball hog. :shifty:

 

[Primetime]

By the way, if you don't beat the Bobcats by 15, I'm not following anymore.

 

[mfbmike]

This thread is amazing. Kudos for perservering and keeping this for such a long time.

Thanks dude.

Granger is a ball hog. :shifty:

lol, I had to get him involved somehow.

By the way, if you don't beat the Bobcats by 15, I'm not following anymore.

Well, I guess it's a good thing I mopped the floor with them. God damn my team is so good right now.

Quote Of The Game:
"If we keep beating teams this badly here in Indiana, fans are going to start asking for their money back. :laughs: Both home games we've had so far this season, we've gotten far out in front early on and our bench guys have been able to log major minutes out there." - Pacers GM Larry Bird

How did Daniels score 26? Wtf? lol

 

[Lupe]

okafor shot a 3? lmfao

 

[Onez]

okafor shot a 3? lmfao

It would've been funny if he actually hit it. Okafor probably just tried to beat the buzzer with no time left to pass.

This is as good as dank nuggs and anal seepage.

That was disturbing LC.
