SG E. Jones
PG D. Wade

SG W. Person, PF M. Allen, PG D. Jones, PF U. Haslem, PG K. Dooling, C M. Doleac, SG D. Wright

.:KEY PLAYERS:.
S.O'neal, D.Wade, and E.Jones

.:STRATEGIES:.
+ Post up aggressively against Shaq to draw fouls early
+ Run offense through Jefferson exploiting weak opponent in Rasual Butler
+ Play Eddie Jones tight on defense and pre-empt mid-range jumper

::POST GAME WRAP UP::

.:GAME NOTES:.
+ No answer to Shaq's 34 pts, 13 rbs, 8 blks, and 5 stls
+ Miami led the whole way, was able to reduce lead to 5 in Shaq's absence late in the 3rd but failed to fully capitalise
+ Poor free throw shooting 4/18 (might reduce FT difficulty in gameplay settings to 40)
+ Ridiculous disparity in blocked shots 18 to 5, nothing to do with my shot selection *shakes fist at EA sports*

+ Should be a winnable outing

[Donatello]

you're putting in some work on this i can tell.

just a couple things: it's spelled OKAFOR, and posting the boxscores in code is just ugly....i'm assuming you're on PC because you have the nice player portraits from the game....perhaps a screenshot of the boxscores? or even just open it in notepad and do 'word wrap' and take a screenshot of that.

keep it up

::vs PHOENIX SUNS::

Date: 06/11/04
Venue: @ Home

.:RESULT:.

LOSS 100 - 83



::PRE-GAME REVIEW::

.:SUNS' ROSTER:.

C J. Voskuhl
PF A. Stoudemire
SF S. Marion
SG Q. Richardson
PG S. Nash

SF J. Johnson, SG C. Jacobsen, PF M. Lampe, PG H. Eisley, C S. Hunter, PG L. Barbosa, PF Z. Cabarkapa, PF J. Vroman, PF K. Clark, PG Y. Tabuse

.:KEY PLAYERS:.
A.Stoudamire, S.Marion, S.Nash, and Q.Richardson

.:STRATEGIES:.
+ Expecting an uphill battle vs one of leagues most talented sides
+ try to goto work on Amare early on and get him into foul trouble
+ play Marion for the charge or tight to block the deep 2
+ with the exception of Johnson the Suns have a weak bench
+ they've lost 2 straight perhaps this can work in my favour... somehow

::POST GAME WRAP UP::

.:GAME NOTES:.
+ Nene was promising early with 4 quick points and 7 first quater rebounds, but got banged up going to the basket against Amare and sat out the rest of the game.
+ Managed to limit Amare to 27 mins by getting him in foul trouble early (forcing the issue on offense with okafor), but in his 27 mins he scored 27 points.
+ Started the final term only trailing by 5, but poor shooting and and turnovers made the end result a blow out in phoenix's favour.
+ Limited offensive production from both kidd and jefferson
+ On a positive note Emeka Okafor was feeling it on both sides of the court with 21 points, 11 rebounds, and 10 blocked shots

Excellent dynasty ! Too bad u don't post highlights... I like this picture :

[End Boss]

what you want in the way of highlights?

sometimes I find superstar so intense minute to minute it's kinda hard to step back and say that was cool.. coz even if you make a good play on offense you've got to be right back on defense (the cpu will take everything u give it).. I definately had more fun and highlight experiences playing All-Star mode but playing superstar is so captivating and realistic.. you really feel the pressure and have to work hard for those defensive stops.. god I love this game

::vs PORTLAND TRAILBLAZERS::

Date: 9/11/04
Venue: @ Home

.:RESULT:.

WIN 81 - 100



::PRE-GAME REVIEW::

.:TRAILBLAZER's ROSTER:.

C T. Ratliff
PF Z. Randolph
SF D. Miles
SG D. Anderson
PG D. Stoudamire

PG N. Van Exel, PF S. Abdur-Rahim, SF R. Patterson, SG Q. Woods, SF T. Outlaw, C J. Przybilla, PG S. Telfair

.:KEY PLAYERS:.
Z.Randolph, D.Stoudamire, D.Miles, S.Abdur-Rahim

.:STRATEGIES:.
+ keep an eye on the mid to long range shooting of Stoudamire, Anderson and Van Exel
+ stop darius miles from driving, play him for the jump shot
+ look to exploit height mismatch of Podkolzin on Ratliff
+ Podkolzin play help out D on Z.Randolph in the paint
+ Post up with Okafor and look to kick out to kidd for deep 2/3

::POST GAME WRAP UP::

.:GAME NOTES:.
+ Limited Zach Randolph to just 5 mins on the floor by taking it to him early on offense pressing for the fouls
+ Better performance from the charity stripe overall (Nene getting 10 points from the FT line).
+ Good defensive pressure, gave very few inside looks. Limited portland to scoring the majority of their points from 20 ft (Stoudamire and Anderson scored fairly consistently from mid range)
+ Protected the ball better conceding a season low 13 turnovers
+ Pavel Podkolzin came up big on the boards (16 rebouds 3 of them offensive)
+ Scored consistently throughout the game and tightened defense in the second half and the final score turned out to be a blow out

::vs PHILADELPHIA 76ERS::

Date: 10/11/04
Venue: @ Philadelphia

.:RESULT:.

WIN 115 - 111



::PRE-GAME REVIEW::

.:76ERS' ROSTER:.

C S. Dalembert
PF K. Thomas
SF G. Robinson
SG A. Iverson
SG A. McKie

SF C. Williamson, SG W. Green, PG K. Ollie, SG A. Iguodala, PF B. Skinner, C M. Jackson SF J. Salmons

.:KEY PLAYERS:.
Allen Iverson and Glen Robinson

.:STRATEGIES:.
+ Philly are on a 3 game winning streak
+ AI and Robinson are averaging a combined 50 ppg
+ Philly are a shorter team and haven't been strong on the boards so far this season
+ They're one of the higher % fg teams (.435) and they do alot of their scoring in the back court
+ I'll be looking to post up whenever possible against shorter philly front court and will try to commit to limiting open looks for iverson and robinson

::POST GAME WRAP UP::

.:GAME NOTES:.
+ Held Iverson to 2 points in the first half, but halfway through the third he set fire (finishing with 26 points)
+ Gerald Wallace injured within a minute of coming off the bench and will be out for 3 weeks with a bone spur on his ankle.
+ Conceded 28 turnovers and 22 offensive rebounds, second chance points played a huge factor in philadelphia drawing level at the end of regular time
+ Jason Kidd hit a 3 pointer with 11 seconds in regulation to send the game to overtime
+ Podkolzin and Okafor combining for over 40 rebounds and 40 points
+ Jason Kidd scored a season high 36 with 4 of 8 from beyond the arc

::vs DALLAS MAVERICKS::

Date: 13/11/04
Venue: @ Home

.:RESULT:.

LOSS 94 - 84



::PRE-GAME REVIEW::

.:MAVERICKS' ROSTER:.

C E. Dampier
PF D. Nowitzki
SF J. Stackhouse
SG M. Finley
PG J. Terry

SG J. Howard, SF M. Daniels, PG D. Harris, PF B. Outlaw, C S. Bradley, PG D. Dickau, PF N. Krstic

.:KEY PLAYERS:.
Dirk, Stackhouse, and Michael Finley

.:STRATEGIES:.
+ The Mavs are 2 - 4 and currently sitting at the bottom of the Southwest division but have won 2 straight
+ This is a team that can spread the offense around with 4 of the 5 starters averaging above 16 ppg
+ Post up hard against dirk early to draw fouls
+ Man to Man playing terry, finley, and stackhouse tight

i]::POST GAME WRAP UP::[/i]

.:GAME NOTES:.
+ Played well, tight D, maintained 10+ point lead up until final minutes of the game
+ This was a game where EA sports imposed it's will on the game. Basically I was up by 15 and in the last 10 mins they put me on a dry spell (8 points total 4th quater 3/21). While Dallas, despite me playing in front of the man making them take fade away jump shots to beat a shot clock violation more often than not, just nailed them one after the other
