Favorite Rookies In The Game

Sun Oct 26, 2008 4:22 pm

I want to know who your favorite rookies in NBA Live 09 are. Here are mine that I've got to shoot around with so far


1) Derrick Rose- number one without a doubt. this kid was lighting it up for me. he has some bad moments but all players do. He was hitting 3'S, dunking, blocked some shots for me. played some good defense, had some awesome passing especially to Ben Gordon and Luol Deng.

2) Kevin Love- a big pf who was draining 3's, dunking, blocking shots, stealing the ball. this kid with Jefferson and having Miller and McCants made me like playing as the Timberwolves even though I don't like Telfair or Foye for me as point guards.

3) Michael Beasley- didn't do as great as love defensively which is why i put him at 3 but he and Marion did score for me when Wade went cold.

so far that's the only three I've gotten to play as so far. I am going to try OJ Mayo, Darrel Arthur, Brandon Rush and Roy Hibbert next time i rent the game. i didn't get to fool around with the dynasty yet since I don't have a 360 and i played this game on my friend's 360.

I would have to have for me there are 2 of them, j.j. hickson and that center on the playstation 2 he's rated 69 and his last name starts with a k and it has an f in it i can remember it right now but he is a rookie.

I'm playing dynasty with Blazers and I can say something about rookies I have in my roster :

Greg Oden (he still is a rookie xD ) - great in the post, scores more than 15 ppg and gets about 9 rebounds per game (I'm playing 7 minutes quarter on superstar lvl)

Rudy Fernandez - He plays great games and poor games, he's good in penetrations, smoetimes scores for three ( scores about 10 ppg)

Jaryd Bayless - I have him on bench, he is substituting Rodriguez but he's better than Sergio, He's great , shoots well, penetrating well, steals well :D ( about 8ppg, 3rpg, 4assists per game and 3 steals per game)

I also have Danilo Gallinari, Nicolas Batum and Marreese Speights but they aren't playing a lot

I've been playing with the Bulls mostly and I'm liking what Rose can do. I'm thinking of going with a starting backcourt of Gordon and Rose with Hinrich and Thabo coming off the bench with Hughes on the trading block.

now that's a ridiculous logjam in the backcourt :o

I know, but at the moment Hughes is the only one I'm keen to move.

Hughes is the one I would move too along with Gooden. I'm thinking of if you can somehow gets Camby from the clippers, Lafrentz from the Trailblazers, Brand form the 76ers although that one might be hard. but maybe the fact that Hughes could play the 2 and Gooden at the 4 could maybe land you brand.

I'm actually thinking of getting Bogut.
