damn man, the later you get into the season, the more injuries you get....
i'm finding out in my dynasty that as the season goes on (game 76 right now), my player's seem to be less effective, they are not as fast, don't just as high, and miss some easy shots, does the game do this? like deminish the stats of your players, like have the fatigue faster towards the end? cause that's how i'm seeing it right now.

yes, as i remeber i got 8 got injured in my past games.
Divac, Odom, Mihm, Bryant, Butler, Baker, Cook and Grant.
But i like it make the dynasty realistic, so next time i think you should also balance the playing time you gave esp those injury-prone and older player. so come playoff time they not to tired and less prone to injury.
by the way thanks for the comments.
i think 2 more update (7 games left) and my season ends.. its playoff time.

hm... 1 sad smiley, then 2, 3, 4 and now five... haha.. though its not that funny.. so who do you have who's worth anything
and i have this interesting problem, one of my guys got injured, and i decided to release zoran planic and sign a free agent who was the same position as the guy on my team who was injured, and it says i have a full roster though its 11. wtf?
and man, the thing about the fatigue thing... my oldest player is allen houston, and the average age on my team is like 23... its so weird. maybe i should just play my bench more

it also happen to me. try re-signing the same player without re-loading your dynasty and he will sign with you. jxuusa wrote:and man, the thing about the fatigue thing... my oldest player is allen houston, and the average age on my team is like 23... its so weird. maybe i should just play my bench more

Micchy Sorry about skipping your 3quarter shout out. I had it about 3/4 done and my laptop shorted out...and then just now as I was about to re-do it...you posted more...
but here I go...
...from the annals of the
2005 Birdie Project:

Micchy_boy's Los Angeles Lakers
3-quarter season Birdie Breakdown:
Not since the days of Shaq-lore was there such an even one-two punch. Kobe Bryant barely grabs the team MVP honors from Lamar Odem clocking in with a weighted Birdie score of
22.75- and his 'reversible'
Live Card is enabled.
'reversible Live Card preview':
3-quarter season instances are always a bit skewed:
This Dynasty is currently ranked #14 on the 2005 Birdie Board.
(Micchy's ranking should go up by end of season, as the values of his traded players even out at the end...meaning his penalties should go down.)

Micchy_boy: Thanks for your patience in all this, I promise to post your end of season breakdown a lot sooner.

...hopefully, now with my laptop shot...production may go down here.

I'm still in shock.

Sacramento Kings @ Los Angeles Lakers
After those 3 straight losses, Lakers tried to bounce back on winning ways. They started the game very well and jumped to an early lead. They also put most of Kings’ starters into early foul trouble. They also got a good break when Bibby, the Kings starting point guard got injured 4 minutes left in the 1st period and Lakers holding a 10 point lead. The quarter ended with Lakers extended their lead to 15, 31-16. In the 2nd quarter things looked good for the Kings. Mobley, just like their last meeting, caught fire and scored all his 12 points in this quarter. Along with Stojakovic 8 points, kings cut Lakers lead to just 5 at halftime break.
Lakers made sure that Mobley will not torched them again put a great defensive plan against Mobley. With their defense, Mobley was held scoreless in the 3rd period. Without Mobley’s offense and still hobbled by foul trouble, Kings were outscored in this period and trailed again by 10 points. Kings then tried one last run in the last canto. They have the momentum but when they key players fouled out, things got worse for the Kings. Lakers snapped their losing skid. With that win Lakers move to no.6 with Rockets behind by 1 game.
