Any funny/interesting Dynasty playing stories/rituals?

Fri Jun 25, 2004 12:36 am

Just wondering if you have any interestng stories to tell while developing your Dynasty.

For example:As I'm a firm believer of not 'auto-simulating' a game(where all you have to do is press the simulate button and you're onto the the next game) and prefer to 'live' simulate the game(basically letting the computer play for you ie 'letting the boys play themselves'), I would get into the ritual during the regular season of live-simulating a game right when I got up in the morning, transferred the save file to my laptop, simulate a game during my commute to work, recharge the laptop for lunch time, simulate a game during lunch until the batteries wore down, recharge the batteries before the end of my work day, and then finish the remainder of the game and use the earned Dynasty points to develop a player on my way home.

Then I'd go home, transfer the save file back to my computer, simulate one more game while I do chores, and actually play a game before I go to bed.

Needless to say, I was a bit of a threat on the road, while navigating both the mouse and the steering wheel…but I was able to go through an entire 82 game season in 15 business days and my place is cleaner...which makes the family not bag on you for spending so much time on a 'video-game'!

NOTE: For the concerned, this regimental schedule probably won't happen again, due to the fact that there are NLSC players in my Dynasty now and of course, I personally want to smash them to bits. :wink: Another side note is, I don't simulate playoff games…In this community, that would sound like a big no-no. :shock:

Anyone anyone?

My brother always screams "fuck" and complaining how unrealistic and stupid the game is in the middle of the game :lol:

Fri Jun 25, 2004 2:39 am

i hate playing all 82 games so for some of my dynasties i let the cpu sim the games. at points where my team was on a losing streak of 4+ i would play the next game to break us out of the slump. in my recent dynasty i let the cpu sim the first half of the season. my team did bad but now i will push myself into the playoffs. and when im there if i make it it i will sim the first couple of games until my team is facing elimination.

I play my games no matter what. Sometimes if I do a special dynasty (like one where I only 'live' sim the games) then I'll only do it that way.

Fri Jun 25, 2004 2:55 am

Mine is very similar to Slam's brother. When I'm blinded with rage, I'll combine cusswords to make my own, so pissed off that I don't realize what I say. Some of my favorites are:

Shit-Cock!
Fucking-A-Sucker! (don't ask me why I censored "ass" and not "fuck")
Ass-Eating-Cock!
Shit-munching-Shit-Shit!
Suck my dick, computer, SUCK IT!
(when shaq dunked on me) I will rip off your face, and shit down your neck! (FMJ!)
Fuck you! I will make you eat my shit, computer!
I will stomp your balls of with some high-heels!
Foul? I'll give you a foul. I'll foul you so much your asshole bleeds!

and a variety of Full Metal Jacket quotes.

Everytime the game would cheat, I would throw my controller or slam it on the floor. I've gone through 3 now. :lol:

Suck my dick, computer, SUCK IT!

:lol: :lol: :lol:

well ive smashed up two ps2 pads in rage so far so ive moved onto the pc version where the pads are a little cheaper...

Sat Jun 26, 2004 7:22 am

I stand up and walk around complaining about various Live problems (eg. "Stupid fucking auto-adjusted shot" when I blow a dunk with Desmond Mason, "face the hoop to cross him up" when Dwyane Wade crosses out of bounds, or "the ball is right the fuck there when my defensive players box out, but don't go for the ball so fucking Medvedenko runs through and gets a slam to give the Lakers their first lead since the 1st quarter with 26 seconds left in the 4th quarter. Had to get that out.)

Sat Jun 26, 2004 10:31 am

When the CPU cheats very badly I just stand up and begin to walk in the room and mumble incomprehensible things. There is no current word or combination of words that could help me get the anger out (BTW, I'm italian so I mumble in italian).

Walking in the room helps me to get the PC out of my sight, which is good for my pockets. As far as pads are concerned, I learned some self-control after I broke 3 for my PS back in the days.

To date, there is only one more thing that pisses me of more than I videogame: bad drivers.

Mon Jun 28, 2004 8:00 pm

Various Words i like to use when the game is cheating:

"Fucking ass-licking piece of shit"
"Stupid GOD DAMN MOTHER FUCKER"
"Fucking Cunts"
"Little Bitches"
"Ass Clowns"
"Fucking Ballbag Heads"
"Dicklickers"

just some of the words i often call upon when my game cheats.

NOTE: Only through pure Frustration...KIDS, Dont try these at home, My parents threatened to throw my game in the bin if i ever spoke like that to a computer screen again.

Mon Jun 28, 2004 8:56 pm

when i lose some critical game..i will just smile and look..cause i really enjoy it..but when it is really frustrating..and when i do some killer-out-of-bound cross over...i will like 'WHAT THE FUCK IS HE DOING'...and when some mofo on the other team miss their shot..and my MAN STARTED TO STAND AROUND IT INSTEAD OF GETTING THE BALL...AND LET THE BALL SLIP INTO THE OPPONENTS HAND..i will like 'U MOTHER FUCKER'.....and when the computer cheat in the last minute..i will like 'cheat eh?LETS CHEAT U DAMNIT'..then i will switch to the other side...and keep making timeout...and let them have technical foul...until i tie the game...i will switch back

I'm sincerely glad that we have this 'help thread' here to let each other know that we're not alone in our frustrations! After reading all your comments I have never laughed so hard in such a long time…Quoting Homer Simpson: "It's true! We're sooo lame!" I'm laughing with you guys not at you!

Goodie two-shoes who thnk there's too much profanity in the NBA should spend a week playing NBA Live and that'll shut them up real quick!

The only game more aggravating game is the Mario series. The music is so upbeat and happy and colorful, it drives you insane. I've actually burned a Super Mario Bros 3 cartridge, squealing with glee. One of my quotes from that game is:

"How could she be in a different fucking castle every fucking time? Is this dinosaur shit-face just boffing her and castle-hopping? What the mother fuck? Hey, you Italian douche, go to the last castle first so we can get this shit over with!"

Tue Jun 29, 2004 7:14 pm

i get so frustrated at times that i turn off the air condition and light up a cigarette..

Sometimes I just cut off my PS2, and am like "fuck it". I don't cuss normally, well never around people, but put me in a room with a videogame and a cheating CPU and you will see a side you have never seen.

I just need to know, how do the game testers not pick these things up?

LMAO U MADE UP SOME NEW WORDS FOR ME :lol: :lol:

Wed Jun 30, 2004 1:17 pm

You guys probably think this is really weird, but me and the AI (rather I made the AI join my side) batter the refs all day long. If there's a non-call or a terrible touch foul, on either side (so I don't get too pissed off), I'll be like "It's ok, we must fight the common enemy, the refs!!" I just don't want to hear myself screaming every known word on the planet at the monitor...

Nice! Sometimes the CPU seems to forget who's the master. I'll use that too from now on, when it gets really unfair.

Thu Jul 01, 2004 12:23 am

I hate losing. I've cursed at various NBA Live games over the years (but nothing compared to Street Fighter II on SNES but that's another story).

Usually, it's hard for me to not quit the game when the computer is cheating me. But I had Michael Jordan beat me on a fadeaway jumper with 4 seconds left one-time and it wasn't as hard to accept that one. :wink:

Thu Jul 01, 2004 7:23 am

hey honorglow im like u i hate auto simming, but i wouldnt be able to let the comp play my game either. I just got routed by the Lakers in my DYNASTY the only problem is that it wasnt Kobe and Shaq but a bunch of random players drafted, and i couldnt do anything but keep playing and getting my butt kicke real bad, they were inexplicably always down the court faster oh well since its dynasty there is always another game

Thu Jul 01, 2004 8:58 am

Yeh, man, it's a tough call because I can only see myself playing my dynasty for about 3 more seasons until 2005 comes out, and I just don't know if I have 'what it takes' to play 246 regular season games in less than 4 months(not to mention the playoffs) Just a thought…wouldn't that be cool if they had pre-season games in Dynasty mode, that way you can beef up your roster and then cut people before the real season begins! But I'll leave that for another thread. Pre-season games would be cool then you can experiment with rockin freestyle out of bounds moves that you wouldn't want the coach to catch you doing when it really counts! Perhaps NBA 2009

Thu Jul 01, 2004 2:17 pm

yea ive thought of that, that be good, that way u can experiment with ur lineups and stuff, but who knows when EA will bring that around

Thu Jul 01, 2004 2:23 pm

i play 28 game seasons. i simulate every game. unless i face elimination in the playoffs. :P

This is probably Chauncey Billups again, STOP SPANNING! Don't think we are as stupid as you.

Is it really that funny? Please Andrew or someone else ban this individual from the forum. :evil:

Thu Jul 01, 2004 3:43 pm

Ooops, Maybe you are not. I just read your other postings and are better than those from that spammer.

Or maybe you are Chauncey Billups but you are trying to follow the rules and be part of the forum. IN this case you deserve another chance.

Anyway, using the shortest season possible (28 games) simulating every single game, playoff included (unless facing elimination) doesn't seems to be a very smart thing to do, and not very funny either. So you end up playing 7-8 games per season? where's the fun?
