My LA.

Tue Nov 25, 2003 12:58 am

I just finished my first season and my record was 77-5.
7 minutes All-Star level, Sim Quarter at 12 minutes.
All default except for fatigue(45).

The awards that i received were:
Phil Jackson - Coach of the Year

Shaq - 30.7pts, 7.1rebs, 4.5blks, 1.1stls, 0.7 asts.
- MVP, DPOY, All-Defensive 1st team.

Payton - 13pts, 10.4asts, 4.4stls, 2.2rebs, 0.4blks.
- All-NBA 1st Team, All-Def 1st Team.

Kobe - 19.9pts, 3.5rebs, 3.2stls, 2.6asts, 0.6blks.
- All-Def 2nd Team.

George - 7.1pts, 2.5rebs, 2.3stls, 2.3asts, 0.5blks.
- All-Def 2nd Team.

Rush - 1.7pts, 0.1rebs, 0.3blks, 0.2stls, 0.3asts!!!
- Most Improved Player!!! (Yeah, i don't know how this happened too).

I'll complete the stats soon, i cant remember all of them now. I'm currently 3-0 in the playoffs. I'm against Memphis in the first round.

Tue Nov 25, 2003 11:16 pm

I updated the stats of my players already.

Karl Malone - 15.3pts, 6.5rebs, 0.7blks, 1.2stls, 0.8asts.

I only need malone to average like 10pts on my next season to catch Kareem's all-time scoring record. I'll try to find out what other all-time records Malone can catch on NBA.com. :D

I'm currently playing against the Timberwolves in the second round of the playoffs. I'm leading the series 2-0.

The criteria for Most Improved Player doesn't seem to be too high. I simmed a season and one of my own players (Jason Kapono, I think) won it, even though he averaged 1.6 points or something that year.

Wed Nov 26, 2003 2:31 pm

i simmed and had ronald murray win it with 12.0ppg off the bench on seattle he also won sixth man of the year........

Wed Nov 26, 2003 10:49 pm

Shaq didn't win any player of the month awards but i still end up getting the MVP. It was always Duncan who was getting it.

I found out something this morning, i was in the playoff and when you end the game your EA Bio does not get updated unlike in the regular season. What you need to do is load the season that you previously saved and when it loads it will ask you if you want to save your EA bio, that's how you save it. :D

I don't know how this happened but the eastern conference finals was between Toronto and Atlanta!!! I am against Dallas and i swept them already.

I'm against Toronto now for the Finals and i'm up 2-0. Carter is making lots of 3's but the rest of his team sucks.

I had a triple double with shaq on game 2. 32pts, 14rebs, 11blks. :D

Fri Nov 28, 2003 6:20 am

toronto :shock: , what the heck are they doing in the finals :? ! Bosh must have really become a star to complement vince

Fri Nov 28, 2003 9:13 am

lol my raps are gonna be in the playoffs when i start my raps dynasty on my ps2 one soon ill probably win it all too i hope. plus i use realistic rosters like no trading and shit

Fri Nov 28, 2003 12:08 pm

My Raps are 2-1 (homework keeps getting in the way) and only lost by 5 or 6 to the Nets.

Sun Nov 30, 2003 11:03 pm

Well i finished off the raptors in 4 games. Shaq was the Finals MVP.
Shaq- 29pts, 10.4rebs, 5.4blks, 1ast, 0.8stls.

I continued to the next season only to find out that Malone and Payton already retired from the game, I thought that should not be the case so i reloaded my saved playoffs and did the same thing, then i had Malone and Payton for another year =).

I signed Kobe for 7 years. Then i signed Pargo and Sampson for 3 yrs.

And my biggest offseason trade? I traded Geroge for Eddie Jones and Miami accepted the trade. :D

I then drafted a center which had an excellent potential, and a SF.

I'm 3 games into my 2nd season when kobe got injured and was going to be out for 6 weeks. Well lets just say that he's back.... coz i didn't save that game :lol:

Fri Dec 12, 2003 4:23 am

I'm 21 games into my second season now and i haven't lost a game yet. I thought my Shaq would win the player of the month award but the POM bug hit me again, Garnett won it with far less stats than what my Shaq was averaging. My Shaq is averaging 29pts, 11.6rebs, 5.4blks, 1stl and 0.7 asts. He's number 1 on the MVP candidates but still i didn't get the award. Payton by the way is number 2 on the mvp race. =)

5 games in my second season i began to miss devin george, so i load my saved playoff file and went thru the same new season process but the computer never allowed Karl Malone to be back for a scond season with LA, i tried this like 10 times but Karl always retired so i had no choice but to go with eddie jones, who is doing great by the way. =)

Thu Jan 22, 2004 1:42 am

I'm now 32 games into my second season and before this game i traded for Vlade Divac and brought him back to the Lake Show!!! I signed Memet Okur then traded him to Sacramento. I now have 2 ex Laker good guys back in LA, the other one is Eddie Jones.

Shaq (29.5pts, 11.2rebs, 6.1blks, 1.2 stls, .5asts) and Payton (14.3pts, 11.9asts, 4.8 stls) is still leading the league in the MVP race and Karl Malone has increased his scoring average from 15 pts the previous year to 18 pts this season.

Trade for Nick van exel , Elden Campbell,Travis Knight and Tony Battie :D

Fri Jan 23, 2004 4:06 am

I thought of trading for van exel but he didn't really go well with the lakers fans, divac and jones are both fan favorites when they were with the Lakers that's why i traded for them.


Just a hint, if you want to trade for a player but you dont have anybody they would accept, sign a player with high rating for the minimum and trade him for the player you want. That's what i did, i signed Memet Okur for the minimum and i traded him for divacs. :D

Fri Apr 16, 2004 12:32 am

I'm almost done with my 2nd NBA season and seems like Shaq is going to win another regular season MVP. I actually have Shaq and Payton 1 2 on the MVP race.

Shaq - 30pts, 11.5 rebs, 6.4blks, 1.2 stls, 0.8asts.
Payton - 14.7pts, 11.7asts, 5.2stls, some rebounds and some blks.

Shaq got his career high on rebounds on the last game of the regular season, he grabbed 19 rebs, 6 OF and 13DF.

There's something wrong though, my record now is 81-1 (i lose to the bulls) and i still have one game left against Utah, how the heck did this happened?

Sat Apr 17, 2004 2:14 am

For some reason Duncan took the MVP award even though shaq had higher stats on almost all the statistics, i loaded the game again and shaq got the MVP this time.

MVP - Shaq
Coach of the year - Phil Jackson
DPOY - Gary Payton
All-NBA - Shaq, Payton
All-NBA 2nd team - Kobe
All-Def - Payton
All Def 2nd team - Shaq, Kobe


Shaq dominated the first game of the playoffs, his stats: 48pts, 13rebs, 14blks, 1 ast.

Im playing against Golden State.

Fri Apr 23, 2004 3:20 am

I'm done with my second season with the Lakers and Shaq ended up the Finals MVP. His stats, 37.7pts, 13.2rebs, 8.8blks, some assists and some steals.

I'm glad to find out that Malone didn't retire so i signed him up for another year, payton was also available but i didn't sign him anymore. But i'm thinking of signing him to back up Kobe at the point. I put kobe at the point because i was able to sign these players from the free agent pool.

Tracy Mcgrady
Ray Allen
Kerry Kittles
Kenyon Martin
Grant Hill
Robert Horry

I then traded some of these players for alonzo mourning, Vince Carter and shareef abdur-rahim.

My 2006 starting line up.

Shaq
Karl Malone
Vince Carter
Mcgrady
Kobe

2nd 5
Zo
Shareef
Grant Hill
Kareem Rush
Fisher

No offense, but where is the fun in that? You almost swept the season, reloaded everytime something happens you dont like and now you have got T-Mac, Kobe, Vince, Shaq, Zo and Shareef ... ? Why?

That's true. Personally, I used to do things like this back in my earlier years of Live, but since 03, it got boring doing seasons where I always win, and get good players easy.

Sun Apr 25, 2004 1:13 am

My purpose for signing all the good players is to trade them back to their teams so i can eliminate the bug that live has which is to have some good players left unsigned for the whole season.

I am playing 4 different Dynasties right now and i basically just left this players on my roster because i haven't played with them yet. There are no other players that i want to play with so i just stick with this one.

I've played more than 300 games now and i've lost a total of like 7 games. All Star with default sttings is not that challenging anymore but i like it that way. The fun i get is comparing stats from my different dynasty players and not exactly the dynasty they are at.

I have a Denver team that consists of Yao, Wang Zhi Zhi, Carmelo, Miles, Lebron, Menke Bateer, Shue Yuyang, and the rest are default denver players. I haven't lost with this team after 50 games yet.


After i finished my second season with LA, denver offered me their GM position but i rejected it, they were offering 2000 NBA Store points and 10000 dynasty points. I ended the season with more than 30,000 dynasty points.

Sun Apr 25, 2004 1:39 am

I still dont get it ... :?

Wed Apr 28, 2004 7:04 am

Well anyway, i started an Orlando Dynasty so i don't need t-mac and grant hill on my LA team anymore, i traded Hill for a rookie PG and i traded t-mac for mike miller.

I also started a Utah Dynasty and i traded kirilenko for kobe bryant. i just want to see if i can win with this weak team, so far i am 3-0, i won against, portland, minesota, and dallas, not bad for Utah. I also signed Shawn Kemp to start at PF. He is not playing too well but he is averaging 10 rebs in the 3 games.
