Hey Lamrock, for the simulated stats in 2k10. I partly discovered why the numbers are off on some stats. For the rebounding problem. Bosh is averaging 15rpg simply because almost everybody on the Raptors has a rbd rating below 40. Thus on simulated games Bosh gets every fucking board. Just increase the numbers of especially the guards (who average around 1 rpg) and his numbers decrease. Offensive rebounding is at 25 for many guards in the game which is just letting them average 0.1 off boards per game. That's a problem. There also a lot of players who do not have a high enough shot tendency which results in guys like Granger or LeBron (when Shaq retires) averaging 35 ppg. So I also adjusted shot tendencies. For some guards you need to lower their shot tendency (like CP3) and give a higher tendency to everybody else, then they will averages more assists. Although CP3 is only averaging 7 assists so far in my Dynasty, I had about 10 simmed seasons were he was between 9 and 10 per game. Its a pain to edit all that stuff, but I like the stats to be realistic.

On topic: mediocre month, but I predicted some wins for you next month with teams like the Jazz, Bobcats and T Wolves coming up. Still I predicted a 10-6. Would be good if you could achieve that.
Randolph's a beast so far. Do you edit his ratings in 2k10 to match that? Keep it up (Y)

De8, Fixed. I get him and Paul George confused.

The X, That too. ;)

Thierry., Yep, and all healthy. They are weak, just like in real life.

hova-, Thanks -hova, that makes sense. Never bothered to edit the tendencies. I use a modified version of Rashidi's rosters, which are gameplay oriented. I'll have to look into those adjustments. Last month was mediocre, though the majority of the games were against playoff teams. This coming month will hopefully help me gain some ground in the playoff picture. Game in Dallas will be huge.

I edited some of the ratings based on their performance in this association, AR4 included. Not going to disclose the rating, but he is tied with Nash for highest rating on the team.

Being the narcissist I am, I decided to give my old Live 08 dynasty, Flying High In The ATL a read-through. Not sure why, but I found it to be a superior read than this one. Perhaps it is because the story recaps were more common and inspired, and there was less spam, but there was a certain "it" quality to it that this doesn't have (yet at least). Despite the team's unrealistic record and abundance of trades, I think Flying High is somehow superior. Does anyone who has read Flying High have a take on it?

I have read both and i think while Nellieball's recaps are better presented, the storyline of Flying High is better, not by much, but it is better.
Just my own personal take on it :wink:

Valor, Yeah, I can agree with that. I put a lot more effort into the recaps now, but the story was just sort of an afterthought. It was never close to as good as Sit's, or even Chaser's, but it wasn't forced like Nellieball Chronicles. The plot points I had in the last couple of chapters seemed to be ignored, so I'm not sure if/how I'll continue to make story updates.

Martti., Duly noted. :)

The story element of this association was a bit contrived and not as involved or well-done as in my Hawks dynasty. For that reason, I swore off making the Nellieball Chronicles recaps. Recently however, I've got the urge to write another chapter. Is it good? Absolutely not, but it adds some variety to this for what its worth. I would recommend reading my Hawks dynasty if you want to understand the history between Washburn and Knight. (And also because its a fairly short and decent read)

Nellieball Chronicles


Chapter 5: The Knightman Cometh

On a cold Friday, February 19th, Liam Washburn got a call from his boss, Charles Barkley. "Yo, Sir Charles! What's up? Anything wrong?"

"Well, yes and no. You know Larry Riley, our assistant GM? He quit. He's going to be replacing David Kahn in Minnesota it seems," said Barkley.

Liam was surprised. "Larry quit? Damn. No wonder he seemed so adamant about that ridiculous Morrow-for-Jordan Hill trade offer. Well that's a bummer I guess. Any thoughts on who you're picking to replace him?"

"Actually, I already have a guy," Barkley announced. "I think you know him."

"Oh?", Liam asked, with his interest peaking.

"Billy Knight. Used to be the Hawks GM. You worked as assistant GM under him for a while, didn't you? It'll be just like old times."

"NO", Washburn protested. "Aside of being a total fucking moron, he's also had it in for me since I took his job. I had to get a restraining order! Besides, the trade deadline was yesterday. You can't do this man!"

"Paperwork's already done, and that restraining order is only valid in the state of Georgia. You'd better watch that mouth too. Don't think your job is safe just because I like you. The team is only 28-25, and you told me that we would be a sure-fire playoff team this year. I'm sorry the Darko for Q-Rich deal fell through, but its no excuse! I hired Billy to inspire a sense of urgency in you. Don't let me down, or I'll let you down," Barkley threatened, hanging up the phone.

"Shit," Liam cursed, realizing he forgot to mention that the team's leading scorer had died. Feeling a migraine coming on, he took a handful of very effective painkillers given to him by Salim Stoudamire, who he had recently befriended. 'I already have Darko, Captain Jack and the Spaniards to deal with. Now this?! I'm the General Manager, not the babysitter,' Washburn thought as he walked down to the practice gym to talk to coach Nelson. He did not like what he saw.

Stephen Jackson, who for some reason was shirtless, was giving the rookies shooting lessons, the Anthonys were looking at pornographic magazines, and Darko was eating an ice cream cone. "Yo Nellie, why aren't they practicing?", Washburn asked the coach apprehensively.

"Oh shit. Hic- They're uh... hic- scrimmaging. Hic-," a clearly intoxicated Don Nelson answered.

"Right. Where's Ben?"

"Oh. I dunno. I hic- haven't seen him in a hic- while. I think he hic- quit or something."

"God damn it. Alright, clean yourself up." he said, pointing the older man in the shower room's direction. He then asked if anyone had seen Ben Bailey, the team's assistant coach.

Steve Nash spoke up. "I think he quit. He blew up at coach last week for being a fat, drunken, retard and said something about NBA Live forums and people changing their usernames and Al Capone. It was weird."

"Oh. Thanks Steve". Liam now had to find a new assistant coach. He then proceeded to pick up a megaphone and direct a practice session.

After the practice, a winded Nash approached Washburn. "Hey Liam. That was an intense practice. I can't remember the last time I've done a defensive drill. Like, literally. We never did things like this in Phoenix and Dallas"

"Thanks for the praise Steve. You've been doing great lately. You're what's keeping this team afloat," Liam told the veteran point guard.

"About that... I know its past the trade deadline, but we have a lot of cap space this Summer, and I was wondering if you would consider signing my man Amare. Not that I'm unhappy with Anthony and Andris or anything... I just think he would be a good fit..."

"Hmm," Liam said, contemplating the proposal. "Well you are our best player, and keeping you happy is a top priority. However, Anthony is the future of this team, so his development is a top priority. I'll take it into consideration and see what happens."

"Okay, thanks," Nash said, running off.

----------

The next day, Washburn was surprised and relieved to see the Warriors blow out the Thunder. Unfortunately, the prospect of Billy Knight's arrival was looming. His thought process was interrupted when he saw a familiar face. "Monta? Wait!" Monta ran off. "What the fuck?"

Washburn shrugged off the encounter. 'I'm just tired,' he thought, heading home.

----------

Monday came, and Knight arrived. Surprisingly, Knight appeared civil.

"Hello Liam. I know we've had our little... tiffs... in the past, but hopefully we can leave all that behind and lead the Warriors to the championship," Knight said, extending his hand.

Liam sighed and shook it. "Ouch! What the fuck?!" Knight was holding a sharp tack in the palm of his hand.

"AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! You're going down Washburn!" Knight skipped away.

"God damn it," Liam said, taking a handful of pills.

"I fucking hate this team."

Sit, Your story is still awesome. You just need to get the action back in the court as well as on and off the court.

Oh man, Washburn seems to hate Knight. I have to admit that I did not go though your ATL D. Stoudemire would be great. Maybe you could move him to C and let Randolph play PF, or you head Amare to PF and play with Randolph at the three. He would need to step up on his shooting then though. Whatever, I hope Knight won't get you fucked up.
