The way to play like real NBA

Ok, i am using the lakers show and i am trying to be as realistic as i can.
Eventhough i want to use SHAQ, but i put him on the injury list just like in the NBA now. I am playing all-star/8 mins/CPU assistance on and it is tough to win without SHAQ. Now my lake show has only one punch and that man is, "Showbe".

KOBE has to carry the team by himself. I started a new franchise and play just 2 games. The first game with spurs, KOBE put on the show with 50 points. Lakers won 91-89. My second game was in portland, KOBE put on 39 points, but i lost to Portland 101-99. Kobe found out at the last minute. Wallace blocked Fisher last shot to tie the game.

When SHAQ is coming back?

Do you guys play like NBA or you just use whatever you want all the time?

I do whatever it takes to win 8)

well, things like injuries... i start my season with the actual NBA roster

and then dont worry about it


but trades: i wont make a trade unless i know it could maybe happen in real life (at least that's for the first few seasons.) later on, i do wahtever i think is good

You're franchise sounds very realistic...looks good...what do the other teams score at 8 minutes?

is your sim quarter length also 8 mins?

The other teams score range from 84.5-104.5 points.

My sim Quarter is 12. / 8 mins/ all-star/CPU As. (on)

I always try to get the most realistic stats. You can always give the ball to you favorite player (Mine Paul Pierce), but that is no fun. Nothing like being up there in stats, but not dominating. I always have problems in Offensive rebounds, so if anyone can help, I would appreciate it.

Time the O boards...after making a shot, switch to a man under the basket. Then time the jump. that's basically it. Of course the computer A.I. knows where the ball will go so they'll be there waiting for the ball. Don't just wait for it, jump for it.

peace!
