1987-1988 Mod Super Version In Progress!

[Bird_33]

...I heard Robert Parish stubbed his toe on a step in 89 too man....crazy bad luck..

[IronMike]

forgot about that lol And then parish started going crazy he got like that dragon tattoo, stopped talking to his teamates, and it was rumored that he rarely practiced

[Bird_33]

I always assumed he was doubling up as Tecumsah the Indian statue in Cheers, probably would explain why he never talked

[IronMike]

Yeah what the heck happened to him? The british are coming! the british are coming! lol
Was looking for some calm 80's music and found this old jam (kinda its called a ballad lol)

phpBB [video]

[Reddwarf33]

"True" is an 80's classic but if you're looking for a Spandau Ballet that would fit the game better you might want to try "Gold" instead. Eighties music and eighties basketball, my two true loves

I know your team is probably loaded but if you want someone to do final check out of teams for historical accuracy in terms of starting 5s, numbers, personel etc I'm happy to give them a look over, but can just as easily do so after you've released Version 1 if you'd prefer.

Can't wait to play this one

[IronMike]

Nah i just wanted to listen to that song lol ahahahahaaaaa lol Yeh ill be sure to hit you up when i finish everything BTW, can you give me some good pics of the special jerseys with the memorial things?

[Reddwarf33]

Will get onto it right now - as long as my wife lets me stop doing the housework

[IronMike]

lol okay then gimme a list so i can work it out, but i need the bulls right now their starting 5

[Reddwarf33]

Bulls starting 5 was - John Paxson (PG), some guy Jordan at SG, 7-0 Brad Sellers at Small Forward, Charles Oakley at Power Forward and at start of season Artis Gilmore was Centre and later Dave Corzine took over as Artis was cooked. At times Sam Vincent and Rory Sparrow also started for Paxson.

[IronMike]

ok good because i had Pip starting for my roster so ill fix that stuff

[Reddwarf33]

Pip began to start a month or two into 88-89 season, but he and Grant were a force off the bench in 87-88. Artis went across to the Celtics for the second half of this season in an effort to get a ring in his last season in NBA.

[IronMike]

and was that a fail for artis lol And Pip didnt win rookie of the year but my knickies mark jackson did

[Reddwarf33]

Which just goes to show that ROY isn't always an indication of things to come . But Jackson was a fantastic player with a unique way of lining up his free throws if I recall . Don't know why but I always had a soft spot for some of those Knicks subs - Eddie Lee Wilkins and Sly Williams although the Sly one probably let himself down a little later in life

[Reddwarf33]

To get images of the Jazz and Phoenix Suns patches for the season (sorry I'm not good at this new fangled technical stuff - if I can't copy and paste I'm struggling ) Google Image "Nick Vanos" and you will find home and away 87-88 jerseys with the #30 patch and if you Google Image "1988 Utah Jazz" you can find not too clear pics of the Pete Maravich tribute patch. Although not clear the patch has a stylized #7 with Pistol written above it.

[IronMike]

Like,these riight

And i cant find pics of the pistol pete ome

[Reddwarf33]

Just like that Mike - good job . I'll work on my skills and try to drag a pic up for you of the Utah ones. I've found a home one which Eaton is wearing and an away one with Stockton but neither pic is very good but it goes in same spot on uniform as the Vanos one.

[IronMike]

Ok cool never seen it before i know lakeshow once had a patch for wilt

[Reddwarf33]

It's only a little detail but I know how keen the guys are to make things accurate. If in the end it doesn't happen I don't think it will affect the integrity of the game one bit, as opposed to that first Suns preview we had which has KJ and Nance together when one was traded for the other.

[IronMike]

That was one of the weirdest trades ever IMO KJ was like a success with Phoenix and Nance was like a complete fail with the cavs lol

[Reddwarf33]

Not sure that Nance was a failure with the Cavs, he always got his points and was spectacular but he was never going to win a Championship for them. KJ had that ability but the Cavs thought they were set at guard with Mark Price and Ron Harper and I think they thought adding a scoring forward to Price, Harper and Daugherty was the way to go - Fail .

KJ is going to look strange in a Cavs jersey if that's the way you decide to go with the trade

[Bird_33]

I just remembered, I have lists of rosters somewhere I can find them out, basically they are every roster after all the trades so it will be accurate as your ever gonna get. Plus the guys who floated around teams are placed with who they played most for, etc... PM me your email IronMike and I will send them to you
