I can't believe you let Smoove go for nothing but it looks like you may have gotten better...are you gonna play the 09 season? Nice job.

I didn't let him go for nothing. He clearly did not want to resign with me. I offered him $12.5Mill/Year for a period of 6 and then 5 years, but apparently he did not want it. He signed with the 76ers for just $11.5Mill/Year for 4 years. Maybe he didn't like the fact that I resigned Woodson? :P

And yes, I'll be playing this season.

Player of the Game: Antawn Jamison

I just played one preseason game to see how my offseason went. It was pretty good I guess. I played with just eight minutes this time and still scored a lot, so that's good. I also lowered the replays down since that's what made the games so long. I might even turn instant replays off since it kinda gets annoying sometimes. Wallace had all his points in the first half. He was cold in the second. I'm thinking of trading Bibby off for a center. He's a clutch three point shooter, but I think Law is a better passer now, and Law is a lot quicker/faster in the game. Blatche is a terrible inside player, lol.

WOW. I just traded Bibby to the 76ers for Josh Smith. LOL. I'm pretty much complete now. My core is Joe Johnson, Josh Smith, Al Horford, Gerald Wallace, Acie Law, and Josh Childress. I made Kwame Brown a 'Role Player' instead of a 'Starter', and his morale went down to 63% but that's still pretty good and can still get higher. I'll be giving him ample playing time.

Very nice! Dang I wish this game was for PC...I'd buy it yesterday. Instead I may upgrade from Live 07 to 08 (I always buy the year old version to save $$-yes, I am cheap).

Player of the Game: Joe Johnson

I played another preseason game to get used to my 'new' roster. I liked the feel. I'll sim into the regular season and see if I can squeeze a game in later.

There is no way to take screenshots from XBOX right?

Why would you want to? You can see screenshots from a random game site.

This game was flat out terrible. Joe Johnson went 4-16 even when most of his shooting attributes are well above 90. I really do think that the computer chooses who has the advantage in the game because for some reason Stuckey never misses a three pointer and neither does Tayshaun Prince and Rasheed Wallace. I was aiming for an undefeated season this year. Oh well, I guess not.

Oh and my overall team attributes are OFFENSE: 92 DEFENSE: 100 OVERALL: 95 and I still lost by almost ten points to the Pistons who's overall is close to 90 (probably below). So frustrating...

Next Game vs. Bulls (0-1)

[mattlanta]

I'm starting over, lol... I found these really nice sliders on Operation Sports, and I think I'll use those. I'll probably end up making a new topic so it doesn't get confusing. Sorry.
