You know you've played too much NBA Live when...

Postby alexboom on Fri Oct 08, 2004 6:55 pm

Inspired from a topic on a Championship Manager forum... :D

1. you try to ice-skate when playing basketball in real life

2. when you see someone ugly, you think "damn he is bad patched", and you suggest him to tweak his headshape and change the eye alignement

3. the patches you've installed take more room than the game in itself

4. when you speak of Al Harrington with your friends, in your opinion the real debate on him is whether he's skin color 4 or 5

5. when you discover Chris Whitney or Derek Fisher real stats, you're surprised that they are not averaging 40 PPG (special Live 2003 feature :wink:)

6. when it's time to shoot a 3 at the buzzer, you're shouting in front of your TV "give the ball to Shaq! give the ball to Shaq!"

7. when you jump under the basket, you no longer pay attention that your head could hit the rim

8. you make post game conferences for yourself after each game of your dynasty

9. you write your own media press book at the beginning of each season of your dynasty

10. you've finished a season where you controlled every team of the league, without simming a single game

11. You try to convince your friends that the 2011 first round pick of the Detroit Pistons will be a 7'0 300 pounds center who will average 20 PPG and 2 RPG

12. When you go to a party, you try to give a primacy rating to every chick you wanna shag :P

13. you're deeply convinced that Chris Bosh is an E.T.


hope you've seen all the references :wink: do you have any other? :D

20) When you step out of bounds and get mad that there was no 'force field' that stopped you from stepping out.

21) When you break your hand trying to do a reverse dunk realising that your hand really can't go through the backboard.

22) When you try to get past somebody and you get called for an offensive foul and you complain to the ref that you should have bounced off.

When you forget you can jump through the backboard? When youre scared to do crossovers near out of bounds because you may get caught in an animation and go out? When, after the buzzer goes to end a quarter, you jump around repeatedly because the button isn't disabled? When you "forget" to rebound?

Yeah, they were lousy. I had a good one but then I forgot it.

24.when you opponents double team you, you always loose the ball!!!

25. when somebody want to enter the game, you said "you can't enter until the 2nd freethrow.

26. when you shoot with your foot stepping on 3 point line, you argue with the ref and say its a 3 pointer.

27. you always look at players jersey and wondering who's jersey texture he was using.

28. your suprise to see your coach the whole game.

29. when you shoot free throw, you saw an imaginary ball moving right to left and then up and down.

:lol: I like this thread very much!

-When you don't know anymore in which team KG or Shaq is playing in real NBA.
-When there are only players with generated cyberfaces in the game.
