The Knicks are good team this year. They have in my opinion, the best fans in America. Very knowledgeable in the sport but have been deprived of a good team to be proud of. MSG in the game, is great, the game has all the arena sounds to mimic MSG in real life.

I love how a lot more of you are giving the game attention because its the best sports game ive ever played in terms of realism and gameplay.

Yeah, I seen a lot of Knicks stickers, hats, jerseys and whatnot when I was in New York. They seem to be a very proud collective, which is so respectable. I was talking to a Knicks fan (hot dog vendor) and he was telling me his history, and the stories he had of the Knicks, it was quite nice. He gave me 10 cents off as well since I was English and had a photo took with him. :lol:

I have to give 2K credit again, and I will say it's one of the best sports games I've ever played hands down. Not only is the gameplay solid as hell, but everything I've witnessed about the game so far, even down to little details such as after game 'Pressbooks' etc, it's truly brilliant.

I've just had another game there, but thought I'd try the Hornets now against the Celtics. I lost by 7 points in the end. As with the Knicks, I started off very strong and took a double digit lead but by the start of the third the Celtics well and truly had momentum which I just couldn't counter. I just had to utilise Jack and Paul mainly and hit the 3 pointers where I could, what with Shaq Diesel posted up in defence and Garnett too at times. I wanted to play a statistically better team mind, since you of course learn more by playing tougher opposition. Needless to say Allen taught me how to play though, he performed a beautiful spin into a 3 point fadeaway in the 3rd, it was majestic.

What I love about the game minus the obvious, is it's complexity, it isn't particularly a pick up and play game. It's almost an art in itself being able to master it, and that is where the challenge is, and a good challenge at that. It produces some truly "wow" moments and you really feel a part of it. When I hit the winner on the buzzer with Stoudemire to give the Knicks the win, I leapt up and fist pumped - along with all of the crowd and Stoudemire himself. I have not honestly fist pumped with great emotion from a sports game for years. It feels great.

The presentation of the game is exceptional, no other game comes close.

 

[Top Gun]

I'm now starting! Kobe bumped down to PG.

Good in a way, but he is a greedy fucker!

 

[Appswah]

Just had a fantastic game against the hawks. It was close all the way until early in the fourth when they completely dominated me and went on a run 10 or 12 to 0. I started to pull it back and even taking the lead with 1 min 30 to go. The hawks score a layup and then intercept my pass and then dunk putting them 102-100. 7 Seconds left on the clock when the timeout was called, westbrooke gets the ball and pulls of a crossover which means he draws the extra defender leaving durant free. Durant sinks the 3 with 1.6 seconds to go putting us up 102-103. The hawks couldnt take advantage of the remaining 1.6 seconds and i win .

Such a back and forward game, I really thought I lost it early in the fourth.

I just blocked my nemesis Rodney Stuckey at the rim so badly, it was embarrassing.

DON'T BRING THAT WEAK SHIT HERE :smug:

OK 360 guys.

Who plays where? My current 'My Player' is a 6"6 3-PT specialist PG, who can play at SG. But I'm willing to start a new one (I fancy being a PF....)

 

[Appswah]

Mines a PG but can play SG but im going to make a new one as SF.

OK, cool. We should definitely try and get game over the weekend, even if it's only 2/3 of us.

 

[Hunter]

I currently don't have one. I've played 3 exhibition games, and I'll warn you, I suck. :lol:

For reals.

 

[Appswah]

not as bad as me mate. Im terrible. And yeh we definitely should try it out.

 

[Rainey]

No sweat Hunter, it's all a bit of fun. My 3 point ability is 99 so bring it on like...

I'll be available anytime tomorrow and sunday. So just PM me or even post it in this thread.

 

[Hunter]

Is it possible to just play a regular game with everyone online, before we go into My Player?

I don't particularly want to dive straight into a My Player mode while I'm so shit incase I develop leaps and bounds soon and can't change the difficulty, rendering that career quite pointless.

Might be worth heading online if we can, just to test our ability against some awesome people, it'd probably be a laugh too.

I'm uncertain on the amount of people who can play in a regular match, it could just be 2 in a team. However we could even just play against each other at the start for a while and test the online connections.

 

[Hunter]

Yeah, I tried to sort a game out there to invite Appswah to play, but I've no idea how to even get to a simple 1 v 1 game online against a friend. There should be an easy online option saying - Online, and then easy to understand instructions to navigate through. I'm lost as hell here.

If you're checking this Appswah, invite me so we can go at it, I need to play people to better myself.

EDIT: Appswah, invite us again, Xbox has just crashed, I'll restart.

 

[Appswah]

Great game man. My shooting was awful, couldnt hit any threes with Durant until the 3rd. Im very surprised i won tbh, i had way too many turn overs and i cant defend for shit.

 

[Hunter]

:faceplm:

God, that feels like a massive kick in the bollocks. :laugh:

Was winning somewhat comfortably for the 1st half against Appswah, albeit I was sticking to what I know as opposed to anything overly flashy. Appswah slowly creeps back into it, then rapes the shit out of me in the final quarter. Must have scored five 3 pointers in the 4th alone, and ten successful steals, it was crazy. I didn't land anything in the final quarter, talk about being shut out. :faceplm:

I crumbled to say the least.

Now watching Diddy on the Graham Norton Show to drown my sorrows.

Oh, and the 3 intentional fouls at the end, I committed just 1 of those mind.

 

[Rainey]

Yeah, if you're losing by a few pts, the CPU will automatically foul for you. To turn it off, press down (I think) during the game then RB/R1 and change the setting.

 

[Appswah]

Hehe. You completely dicked me for the first 3 quarters lol. The suddenly Durant was hitting them from everywhere.

 

[Rainey]

After 2 games with Hunter.

1st game. Blazers (me) v Knicks (Hunter (& host)). He controlled the whole game and punished me everytime I turned the ball over. Must have lost by 20 pts or something. I really did regret picking Blazers as soon as I saw the lineup. I totally forgot Roy was injured....

2nd game. Suns (H) v Hawks (me (& host). Got my payback in this game, he was up from the 1st quater, however I got a couple of steals and fastbreak points in the 2nd quater. I think I won b 16 pts.

 

[Hunter]

Yeah, it really was strange how much our quality differed between the two games. The amount of steals and interceptions you made in the second game was crazy, it really strangled my offensive play. Didn't help that I was no longer able to sink anything anyway. I tend to make it worse for myself by getting frustrated with myself when I start failing to land the points, and the pressure builds, and my play definitely suffers. Saying that, you played the second game to perfection and really put the whooping on me.
