What?!!?!?! No outside shot?
So much for 50% 3pt shooting in college.

[John WB]

That's just what I saw from the short game I had with him.

The ratings are computer-genereated, so I'll have to update them as the start of the season comes close.

Nice rookie scouting, and I suggest that you download the new ratings patch coming out when you get the chance because its funny that Stoudamire doesn't have an outside shot.

Nice scouting reports, but I'm wondering: why are you scouting Bogut when you got only the 30th pick? And you should really get some correct ratings for these dudes, because it kinda unrealistic when got the wrong positives and negatives compared to real life.
Good job, keep it up.

Just for the hell of it.

Yeah.. yeah.. Like I already said, I'll do that first thing.

And in real life, players are going to be different at the camp than they are in actual NBA games too.

[Micchy_boy]

nice scouting reports but maybe you scout players projected to be a late 1st rounder or early 2nd rounder....

though i like the effort you do to post your scouting on big names like Bogut.

[John WB]

Since I only have late picks, I started off scouting tentative late picks, but I finished the week trying out some of the Lottery picks. Just for something to do. And maybe we could work out a trade to get one of them..

Also, looking at some of the early Lottery picks gave me a chance to showcase them as a sort of preview to the Draft.

Knicks resign Korver, Radmanovic



NEW YORK, July 10, 2005 -- The 2005 World Champion New York Knickerbockers reached agreements with Free Agent forwards Kyle Korver and Vladamir Radmanovic.

Kyle Korver signed a 2 year deal worth 4.16 million. Vladamir Radmanovic resigned for 25.18 million, a six-year deal.

Korver, 6-6, 211-pounds, averaged 4.5 points and 1.5 rebounds for New York this past season. Originally signed as a free agent on November 17, Korver was traded along with Kevin Garnett and Glen Rice on December 11 in a deal for Tracy McGrady and Robert Swift. In his second tour of duty this season with the Knicks, Korver was reacquired from Houston on February 25 in a trade deadline deal, and the second-year man finished the season appearing in 40 of the Knicks 82-season games. Kyle Korver was critical in the Knicks run for the title starting in each Playoff game.

Radmanovic, 6-10, 234-pounds, averaged 12 points, 5.3 rebounds, 1.8 assists, and 1.04 steals for New York. Originally acquired from Charlotte on February 1 in exchange for Fred Hoidberg, Mark Madsen, and Udonis Haslem, Radmanovic finished the season's final 38 games as a Knick. Whether, he was coming off the bench or started, Vladamir Radmanovic(like Korver) was a big part of the Knicks Championship squad.

Remaining Knicks Unsigned Free-Agents
SG Casey Jacobsen
SG Steve Smith
PF Samaki Walker

good news and nice touch with the jerseys in the portraits!

Hey John, this stuffs amazing so much detail. I love this kind of stuff. I have NBA live 2005 on the PS2 and i've done a few dynastys and wrote everything that happened down in notepads n stuff but not half as detailed as this.

I'm new to these boards by the way just discovered them today. Just wondering though how does this all work ?

You just do a dynasty and record all the stats ? do you play all the games ?
What difficulty level do you play on ?

Cant wait for NBA live 2006 to come out because i will buy that on PC instead of PS2. So i can do this kind of stuff.

I just save pics from the games of highlight moves, and then save the box scores after the game from the Schedule screen.

Yes, I play all the games and the difficulty you play on varies based on how good you are and your sliders.

[Kobe101]

Love this stuff man!

[Jugs]

Love this stuff man!

Don't make to many bad decisions in the draft, and keep Casey Jacobsen for some reason

[John WB]

With the 2004-2005 season over, so is this dynasty's run on NBA Live 2005.

John's New York Knicks will return at the start of the 2005-2006 season ready to defend their Championship on NBA Live 2006.
