Stackhouse...Unstoppable!!!

I was playing as the T-Wolves against the Wizards, 8 minute quarters, all star level using DK's patch. I won the game by a score of 95 to 91, but Jerry Stackhouse's performance amazed me. He shot 22 for 24 from the field and 12 for 12 from the line for a total of 58 points! Most of the time, trying to defend him was a joke. He'd get the ball, dribble between his legs, spin two or three times (it seemed like he was moving at 150 miles an hour), drive to the lane and lay the ball in. I'd double team him, nothing worked. The only time I'd get an advantage in the game was the short periods when he'd go out of the game for a brief substitution. Playing against the computer with teams with "real" superstars, I've noticed this a lot. Seems like that old saying "you can't stop him, you can only hope to contain him" is true. I guess this is no big deal to some but I'm big on realism. Thanks to DK, his patch made this game playable for me (after I un-installed it and said the hell with it) but at times I come to my senses and say screw this!!!

Yeah, but I noticed him more when I played with him on my team (I'm a Wizards fan). He's way overpowered... but even more is Chris Webber. Once, with one of my friends, I was Dallas and he was Sacramento. All he did is either dunk with Webber or shoot 3's with Stojakovic, so what happend is that Webber had like 82 points in a 48 min. game. And he won like 150-100... :-\

Although a chore at times, it's entirely possible to contain stack. Here are some sample game and player stats from a recent game against the Wiz. Dk latest roster(Strength upgrade), 7 min. Cpu shot control. Arcade.
