Why not Getting Props

[ignatu]

Using Kobe on my Bulls franchise, I play locked on him and only play while he's in the game.

With Kobe I average 34 PPG, 7.2 RPG, 4.6 APG (and rising), 1.3 SPG. Yet he wasn't an All Star starter. LaBron James was the AS Starter at SG, with 22.3 PPG, 4.2 RPG, 4.2 APG, under 1 SPG. Not only that, Ron Artest with even lower stats was the second string SG.

Kobe was invited to and won the dunk contest with 199 (50, 50, 49, 50) in his four (2 per round) dunks. (BTW, why are the dunks so unrealistic? Why did they add players throwing the ball off the ceiling etc?)

When James was taken out of the game, I subbed in Bryant over Artest and led the East with 38 Points, had 7 rebounds and 3 assists, and a number of entry passes that Shaq (25 points) or Jermain O'Neil (18 points) turned into points with a move or two.

But why isn't Kobe getting his props? It seems the human player doesn't get the same consideration for MVP etc. Ben Gordon, who I traded, was player of the month for November with 30.1 PPG, negligible rebounds and assists while Kobe sat there with 32 PPG, 6 RPG, 4 APG with nothing.

Also, even if I walk him around, Kobe gets tired well before anyone else (human controlled player always gets tired faster.)

because this gives a chance for us to innovate I guess... the dunk contest would be pretty lame if the best dunk was between the legs, butI guess a little more touch of realism could be good for 06. It should be harder to do for example an elbowhang or a 360 bt-legs so they would feel better
I see your point and I agree on it, if 06 added more realism instead of arcade, even the dunk contest could get better.

Well not bad for Kobe to win the Dunk Contest, then take All Star MVP coming off the bench.

Prop this NBA

Not realistic, huh? So how would you trade Kobe to the Bulls?

I think he made a fantasy draft at the begining of his dynasty.

[ignatu]

Nope, the dynasty started with "what would have happened if Kobe had come to the bulls as a FA." He did talk with them earlier this year, before he re-signed with the lakers.

It's agreed. They always give him crap cyberfaces/headshapes while Shaq looks near perfect.
