Garden Of Oden: RELOADED | NLSC Draftees??

[Cruzerr]

You can DO it. I got a feeling that Ray-Ray is going to be a handfull in the next few games. Don`t know why. Still, you can rise above them.

[Valor]

The X, Justine., Valor, hova-, Ye of little faith.

No team has ever come back from down 1-3 in the Finals before man, history is against you

CELTICS WIN 2012 NBA CHAMPIONSHIP


Paul Pierce was a dominant force once again.

Celtics 100, Trail Blazers 86

June 24, 2012; Portland, OR - The Boston Celtics are your 2012 NBA champions. Containing LaMarcus Aldridge and using a huge game from the big 3 (+ Rondo), the Celtics used a third quarter run to handily defeat the Blazers in Portland. Paul Pierce led the way with 28 points and 10 rebounds.

The title is the Celtics' 18th in franchise history, and their second in five years (2008). Rajon Rondo has averaged 14.7 points, 8.6 assists and 4.8 rebounds and 2.1 steals per game in these playoffs, and was presented the 2012 NBA Finals MVP award following the game.

Not a good end to your run.

[Axel The Great]

Real unfortunate to see your Cinderella run end by losing all of your games at home.

[hova-]

Tough Finals loss man. But you pretty much overachieved anyway. How is this one going to continue now?

[Mark.]

Yuck result :p Oh well. Did you play all the games? Good to reach the finals though!

[Martti.]

It was a great run, shame it ended like that.

Not a good way to go out, but other than the Finals, it was a good run.

[Cruzerr]

Great run ended by a greater team it seems. Good luck on Off-Season.

[Justine.]

Tough ending for your Blazers, but beating teams like Thunder and Grizzlies is great. Can't wait for next season

[Lamrock]

Thanks guys. Having second thoughts on season 2 though. I haven't witnessed this in anybody else's story, but in season 2, the standings and scheduling get really fucked up. Right now, two teams had their records revert to 0-1 after the all-star break, while the Knicks have played more than 29 games already. Not to mention Portland is my most likely team for 2K12.

We'll see how it goes. I'm into March and may sim/play it out some rainy day. If there's interest, I do have a lot of content backlogged for season 2 of this.

2K12 < 2K11

[kibaxx7]

Tough end for this man That 29+ games, 0-1 records thing, never happened to me. I'm playing 2K12 now and it's much better.

[Lamrock]

I'm curious to see if X had this problem, since he also played multiple 29 game seasons. It might just be my game, but from season 2 and beyond in Association Mode (2K11), the mode becomes a glitchy disaster. The stats are startlingly inaccurate, and for some reason, it's unsettling to see teams' records suddenly become like 0-2. Features from NBA.com disappear, the commentary becomes a joke and every PG under 27 eventually develops into a star.

I know 2K12 has its own set of issues - the deal-breaker trade logic bug in My Player/Create A Legend, its own glitchy stats (leading the league in FG% with 4.16237834) and of course the lack of a usable roster or slider set as of yet. However, I look forward to moving on, after how enjoyable this was.

[The X]

Nah, I haven't come across all these glitches that you are referring about. I started my Association using pretty much 2k default rosters or thereabouts. It started pre-patches. Never had any problem with records or NBA.com issues.

[Lamrock]

Not sure what the cause is, but either way its game-breaking. Waiting on a complete Rashidi roster (hopefully by the new year) to start a 2K12 association. After how enjoyable this one was, I'm excited.

Time to close the prediction game. Justine pegged it, but not a kind round to anybody else but shadowgrin, who clinched first place overall by picking Boston.

So do the points carry over to your next story?

[Lamrock]

Something like that.

[Valor]

Sucks to see this one end but good job and cant wait for your 2K12 one

[deihatein]

Forgot to post my prediction during the finals. Sucks . Could have at least beaten that bum shadowgrin

[Lamrock]

I'm thinking about starting a new association in 2K12 soon, and I don't have an NLSC draft class for that game yet. Priority goes to the participants in the prediction game, but we're probably looking at 8 NLSC'ers per draft class.
