I wanted to start this thread to allow people to rant about random things. I know that this is a basketball forum, but I do believe that there are mult- sport fans that are members or members that actually care about the news outside of sports.


So now everyone has the right to jump on their respected soap box and start ranting.

I am now beginning to scramble and find a back up SF on my Mavs season on ESPN NBA 2K5 because I lost Stackhouse for the season with a MCL tear. What made me mad about it is the fact that it happened during a light practice. I have two weeks before the deadline, and I'm struggling to put together a trade. It's hard to put together a trade because the Mavs are well over the salary cap.

It wouldn't be that hard for me. The ESPN AI is dumb, just take on a bad contract with a good player, give them a young player, and you should have a deal for a better player in the league.

Tell me how it goes.

I second that. I hate the work and not being in any sports now. I might go run track.

Thanks Man. You were right. I was able to get a few good shooting veterans, but had to give up Harris, Daniels, and a number 1 to get them. No Problem though, I should coast to the title.

Everyone, Keep Ranting.

Yeah, I thought ESPN would've been a lot better, but the trade AI is no fun in building a serious contender. My lineup as the Mavs is despicable: Marbury/Hughes/Lebron/KG/Curry or Z,

I know, I am a NBA Live fan myself. I thought I would try out ESPN since I left Live in Texas. Overall I do like it, but the AI of the computer and some of the gameplay sometimes fells that it is missing something.

The trade AI is terrible, I think Live's is much better. Basketball games are too easy anyway, even on a higher diffculty, I won the championship with the Charlotte Bobcats in their second year without making any trades. But I did have the league MVP in Okafor averaging 33ppg.22rpg.7apg. and 4 bpg

I think the reason they are so easy is because the computer will always jack-up quick shots no matter which gaming franchise it is: Live or ESPN.

Hopefully on the new consoles comming out, PS3 and X-Box 2, the AI on games will impove.

The stats on that game are messed up too, especially during the franchise mode. Seriously, when the second leading scorer in the league is only putting up 20 ppg, theres something wrong.

Yeah, it's well worth $20 for the gameplay though. I'm just resigned to the fact that there isn't going to be a complete franchise mode on a video game, or a complete basketball game period.

If EA somehow got the madden production team to work on Live as far as the franchise mode, it would be over.
