[doctor j]

dude this patch sould be fixed again!

chris bosh dunk 72!!! who told you that..

[Jona]

Do you know what Doctor J????

You're starting to get annoying man, have some fucking respect !!

Andrew releases his rosters every two weeks and busts his ass in his free time to get us the patch, which will ALWAYS have some minor flaws... no wait, this one has NO flaws!! I have not seen it right now, but I bet Chris Bosh's dunk rating is perfect and your idiotic sugestion would fuck up his overall or somn.

I hope you get banned for being such an obnoxious asshole and for trying to steal A's patch. Fuck you.

[Jona]

In a positive and contributing post, Dwayne Wade is playing as a shooting guard and Damon Jones is the Heat's point guard.

[doctor j]

dude if i wiil meet you sometime you will regret on that!
thats a promise

[!Luol!]

And I will "regret on" reading your stupid opinions written in mediocre english...

[FanOfAll]

dude this patch sould be fixed again!

chris bosh dunk 72!!! who told you that..

I did actually. He's a good dunker, but not a spectacular big man dunker ala Big Ben, Chris Andersen, or Amare.

In a positive and contributing post, Dwayne Wade is playing as a shooting guard and Damon Jones is the Heat's point guard.

I've thought about recommending this to Andrew a few times before, but I didn't because it's not completely true. Both are PG and SG. It depends on the play. However, Wade, more often than not, is the offensive facillitator (although not necessarily the PG). So you can't really lose (or win) either way.

[y2dan]

A quick suggestion:

Matt Bonner - I still think he needs his 3-point shooting rating increased a bit, at least to a 60. Over his last 5 games, he's shot 5-6, 3-5, 0-2, 4-4 and 1-2 from behind the arc. Those are some pretty good numbers...

[Jona]

OMG!! I'm sure I will "regret on that"!!!

I think I just peed myself imagining the terrible circumstances if we ever happen to meet.

Go eat a dick, stop complaining, and quit it with the shitty suggestions.

[Andrew]

I was considering switching Wade and Jones, but leaving Wade at point guard means he'll have the ball in his hands a lot more and should get more assists. But it's easily fixed.

[SkipToMy_Lou]

Andrew could you consider increasing Chris Anderson's block rating to at least a 75 rating ?

With the original EA rosters he was rated 99, due to his 1.8 blocks in 14 minutes at Denver. Now at the Hornets he is averaging 1.4 blocks in 21 minutes while that isn't as good as his previous season. It is still worthy of at least a 75 rating.

Also another block rating request, Josh Smith.

Ranks 12th in the NBA in blocks at 1.93 per game, 8th per 48 minutes with 3.71.
You currently have him rated at 60, I'd say he would warrant at least a 70 rating.

Just thought I'd let you take those thoughts into consideration

[Andrew]

I've increased Smith's block to 75 in the latest version, but I didn't mean to leave Andersen's rating so low. Thanks for pointing that out.

[Matija]

hey guys stop fighting. doctor j you are an idiot and everybody knows that so shut up,I put a 100 $ on table that jona would kick your ass.

[SkipToMy_Lou]

I've increased Smith's block to 75 in the latest version, but I didn't mean to leave Andersen's rating so low. Thanks for pointing that out.

My bad on Smith, I noticed that about 20 minutes after I posted

Oh and Andrew, wouldn't you say Wesley's 66 3P rating is too low (I think it was 66, haven't got time to go in the game now and check)

He is 27th in the league in 3P percentage at .397 % and he's taken 219 shots too.

[Templar]

- Gerald Wallace
Averages 1.29 bpg, rated only 21... should be in the mid-30s

- Boris Diaw
Good dunker (only 20 in 1.08) with several wins in dunk contest in his pre-NBA career. Maybe not good enough to be eligible in a NBA Slam Dunk Contest, so I think a 60 in dunk is appropriate for him

- Primoz Brezec
FT should go up (71.5%, currently 60)
Block a little down... 0.69 blk in 30min is pretty low for a 7-1 player

Same request as for the last one... maybe you didn't notice it in the previous topic.

[SkipToMy_Lou]

- Gerald Wallace
Averages 1.29 bpg, rated only 21... should be in the mid-30s

I'd say a 1.29 bpg average, would warrant at mid 50 rating wouldn't it ?

[Templar]

- Gerald Wallace
Averages 1.29 bpg, rated only 21... should be in the mid-30s

I'd say a 1.29 bpg average, would warrant at mid 50 rating wouldn't it ?

I think you're right !
The only player no-C/PF who is a better shot-blocker than him is Josh Smith. And behind him, Prince and Battier are rated 35/40 with around 0.9 bpg.

[Andrew]

Thanks guys. Sorry I missed those suggestions last time Templar, I've got them written down for the next update.

[J-Smoove]

Glad you corrected the Josh Smith thing

More on the Hawks: Josh CHILDRESS

he's been averagin 15 over the last 5-7 games. I think his ratings should increase (can't give you suggestions, because I can't watch their games and because they're the hawks). His rebounding should be up'd. He's already outscoring Josh Smith. He's been rebounding a little better than Josh Smith in many games.

I'm sorry to be "for overall ratings" but I believe he should be a 1 or 2 pointers overall better than Josh Smith.
