I find that I'm about a .600 about player online when I play with a good team.

Of course, I always get sucked into the lure of being the Bulls. Everyone online for the most part picks out of a set of like 6 teams.

I'm pretty money with the Spurs and Celtics.

Speaking of the video gaming, in 2k9, is it just me or was Rose better than he was over the course of his rookie season? He was unbelievable on the video game.

He shoots a much better percentage for me, but that's just because I drive with him a lot more. I don't think he shoots as well (though that may be me) but he is crazy fast. Overall, he's probably better in game.

In addition, while NBA 2k9 is infinitely superior to NBA Live 09, why can't I play defense in 2k as well as I did in Live?

I have a friend who is going to that. He almost broke down in tears when I told him that Gordon wasn't playing for Great Britain this summer.

I tend to force the drive a lot...I'm not that good yet though (I got the game rather recently lol) so I'm still on Pro difficulty. Once I get used to playing (and FT shooting :pinch:) I'll move up the difficulty. It's probably easier for me to drive because I'm on a lower difficulty.

Also, don't pick the Bulls for online games, others will kill you with the Lakers or something stupid like that. Online, go for the better teams, though I can't really stop you from choosing the Bulls.

just because they pick the lakers and i pick the bulls doesnt mean i lose all the time ;)

actually ive beaten the better teams and lost to people who play the more mediocre teams. but ive only played probably less than 10 games online (probably less) because i cant stand the lag. maybe because im too far away from my wireless router.

freethrows are way easier using the analog stick. as soon as the ball is in front of the guy's face, GENERALLY thats the time to release the joystick, but for guys like shaq, bron, and z-bo, they have their own wierd timings

You don't lose all the time with the Bulls, just 67% of the time!

The lure of picking the Bulls is so strong.

Of the mediocre teams, the Raptors are one of the tougher teams in the game.

Has anyone noticed that Rudy *** can get ridiculously, unrealistically, mega-hot in that game. I was playing some guy and he scored 73 pts with Rudy *** in a 5 min quarter game! A FIVE MINUTE QUARTER GAME! I played someone else a few weeks later and same thing, Rudy *** all of a sudden like a basketball god.

I went crazy on gum for like a year and the artificial sweetners eventually tore up my stomach. Now if I even have one little piece of gum I get terrible gas that night.

True story.

i always thought the gas was from the nonstop chewing and constant ingesting of air because of it.

He hit everything, took me completely by surprise. You gotta get him hot though. Not too tough to do, but a bit tougher then it is with LeBron. I would take a bunch of easy dunks then when he is hot he is a god.

the "hot" factor is really fun but obviously easy to abuse. if i can get noah to hit 3s, then its obviously overblown. with that said, sadly enough, no matter how hot i can get luol deng, i have never hit a 3 with him before. how can he be red hot and shoot an airball from 3?!

On a sidenote, I hit my first full court buzzer beater the other day. Did it with Derrick Rose. I have never in 2 years (2k9 and 2k8) been able to hit a full court hurl.

I can hit threes with Luol Deng now. Couldn't for the longest time, but on the last update of the season, Luol's three improved.

Offline (aka against people in the dorms) my highest is 112 points in a game by Tyrus Thomas on February 16th, 2009 in 5 minute quarters on superstar. I also had a 98 point game with Michael Beasley shortly after the game released in 5 minute quarters.

Most three pointers is 9 by Ben Gordon.

Most assists is 21 with Derrick Rose.

Most steals 8 with Derrick Rose.

Most blocks is 9 with Yao Ming.

Most rebounds is 24 with David Lee.

I think my online high is 40 with Ray Allen. 50 by Kobe is the most anyone's ever had on me.
