Hats off to Playmaker and Dr13 and the wonderful playbook and .dbf work they've done on, and for the game. That's what I'm talking about, the community coming together to get the most out of a game we love. Playmaker tackled the momumental task of coming up with a team strategy and individual strategy for every team, not to mention his tutorial on how each play works. It is simply outstanding and adds so much to the enjoyment of the game. He apparently has a wonderful understanding of basketball and keeps close tabs on the NBA. His work is dead on the mark. His innovations were good as it was, then along came DR13. Dr13 took playmakers team strategies and figured out how to edit the dbf's so the changes were permanent and a player no longer had to switch controllers and dick around with the game every time he played. And let me tell you, it makes a difference! Dr also edited the player ratings in the game and the rebound problem is not nearly as noticable and the play is far more enjoyable. We are indebted to both of you for your hard work and dedication and your willingness to share what you've discovered with the rest of the community, and all for no charge other than a little respect and a few thanks, so thanks and keep up the good work. For all the 2k6 fanboys and live naysayers out there, give her a play now. The old girl, she's coming around. You actually need your playmakers to make plays and often times they get stopped. Teams are running plays to their stars. The computer, with the right team, is tough to beat. I can't believe how good the game is getting to be. I can't wait to see what it's going to be like in a couple of months. That's why PC is the way to go. Sorry Xboxers and PS2ers--the PC version is where it's at when it come to adaptability. I know what the evil bloodsuckers of negativity will say,"the game should be perfect out of the box." and they're right, but it's not. No game is. The best we can do is be as adaptable as possible that's why live on PC will always be the best video game on the market--it's what the fans can do to the game after the release. Good work guys, good work.
