Can you only have 29 teams in a season

[2klakers]

Is it possible to only have 29 teams in a season, like it was before 2003?

[Lurtz]

Really?
Sounds very crazy, but i'll give it a try.

[bigh0rt]

How does this solve anything?

[2klakers]

Well people have noticed that this year, the rebounding is one-sided. This slider adjustment makes it a lot more even.

[wargreymon54321]

Look, I don't know if someone has posted this before, but I have found something that really helps. It may sound crazy, but set the cpu offensive and defensive rebounding slider to 100 and set the user offensive and defensive rebounding to 0. I was getting rebounds over shaq with allen iverson. EA prob messed up that slider, but no one's perfect.

at first i had problem too, but after practicing, everything became normal...for me at least

[dbsimo2002]

Are you sure? you think it is backwards?

and please stop with the old "practice" garbage. If i have a guy with 95 rebounding skills then i should not have to box out. in madden i don't use my OL to block? there are some things in a game where the ratings are supposed to work.

my new thing is that i now play my 59 rated SF at PF (off the bench) because he has 90 plus jumping. he gets tons of rebounds. jump rating is the key.

[llobarreret]

That´s true. Jumping rating rocks. You can get lots of reobunds with JR Smith (for example), cuz his jumping rating.
Cya!!

No, but if you do 'practice' enough, you can throw pretty well with some bad 2nd string QBs, or follow blockers well with a backup RB, etc. As I've stated several times, all ratings do is give the guy with higher ones a greater chance of success all things equal. Now, if you're not good at working for rebounds, then I hope you lose rebounds with a guy with 99 Reb to a guy with 10, because you have no business bitching, then. You think Kevin Garnett doesn't box out because he's such a good rebounder? No, he's such a good rebounder because he boxes out and positions himself properly, times his jumps, etc.

All this whining sounds a lot like sour grapes for simply not being able to grasp the ability, to me.

[volsey]

people bitch about wanting a "realistic game", and then they complain about how allen iverson cant rebound over shaq......... just shut up for a change, the rebounding is fine in this game

[dbsimo2002]

I gave up 35 ORB yesterday. Valerjo got 15? Now, many of will say that i should box out but most of the rebounds have nothing to do with that. they are missed jumpers which the ball soars in the air. the cpu then flies through the air like jordan and gets the ball over my back. i have postion.

[volsey]

well thats never happened to me, the most team offensive boards iv given in the last 30 games ive played is maybe 14, and thats just because i suked that game

[bigh0rt]

Do you have O. Reb sliders at 0 and D. Reb sliders at 100? That should help, in the very least. I get 11-13 O. Reb's on average, with my sliders, but then again, I edited all the O. Reb Ratings in the game...

[dbsimo2002]

Yes, but i already started my dyansty. i play on superstar as well. if it has never happened to you then i think you are in the minority. or you have great jumping (and not great defensive rebounding) big men.

I have accepted it. but it is the only thing that irks me about this game. well, one more thing.

joe johnson continually is a MVP contender? he averages over 34 ppg? 7 reb and 8 assits?

jumping does help alot

joe johnson IS overratted in 06

the rebounding is fine in this game

no, it isnt
there are way too many offensive rebounds, no matter which way you look at it.

[2klakers]

You're right, dbsimo, jumping does help.

[dbsimo2002]

i now sub in my 59 rated SF over my 75 PF because of his jump rating. in his milited playing time he gets double the amount of boards. i then don't try to score with him.

[vaagohl]

sometimes rebounding really drives me crazy... i have guys like bosh, amare, ak47 and dirk nowitzki on my team and from time to time they giveup 3 to 4 ORB per play. PER PLAY. man thats awful
is that anything else i can do beside getting a great leaper? i am not a good game player... how to do box out? thx

[bigh0rt]

Pull back a guard to help try and grad D-Rebounds. It helps immensely.

[Its_asdf]

I don't know, I've been getting used to the offensive rebounding and at the same time turning my offensive rebounding to 0 and defensive rebounding to 100 has really helped me the first game in my dynasty.

Joe Johnson shouldnt even get half that money got job suns on not matching that would of been a rip off.

Nope.

[Andrew]

No, Dynasty Mode won't support more than or less than 30 teams. A possible solution is to edit the schedule dbf files so that the Bobcats (I'm guessing you want to know for the 2000/2001 or 1999/2000 rosters) don't play anybody.

[funk99]

hmm. shawn marion is awesome at rebounds cuz he can jump. Thats why i play him at PF and gets atleast 10 per game

[2klakers]

Andrew, can you summarize how I can make it so that the bobcats don't play anybody in a season without making the game crash? I'm not talking about 29 teams in a Dynasty, but 29 teams in a season.
