Yes they will consistently get the 2nd pick every year.

We just beat the Lakers 98-93 in Charlotte. I broke my own team record with 44 points. I also chipped in 8 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steal, and 1 block. But I also had 3 turnovers and 5 fouls. I gotta cut down on those. I also recently starred in a "Where Amazing Happens" commercial and after the win over the Lakers, I got on the cover of 2K Style Magazine. The result brings us to 11-8 on the season, and 7-1 since my arrival. We have a huge game against the Knicks (my fav team) up next. Meanwhile, the Bucks are 7-11 on the year, 3-4 since the trade.

Does anyone else like to keep track of how their former teams are doing? How about their favorite teams?

I wish we could play pickup games

But anyways, I've had quite the career do far. I retired the other day(didn't save it ofcourse), and I got into the Hall of Fame. I'm pressive since I'm only in my 4th season.

Just go to the NBA headlines and scroll through the teams. It will show their record, stats, and everything.

Just finished the 3rd season with 6'6 Scoring SG for the Suns.

In my first year, since I started it before the first patch, they completely gutted the team. If you look at the "Defend(Protect?) Your Homecourt" billboard (get it when you make the starting lineup), I'm the only player still here from then, and it was only a year ago!

Anyway, finished the first season with both ROY and 6th man honors, also made the All NBA 2nd team. We were mercilessly bounced out of the 2nd round of the playoffs 4-0 by the Thunder.

Second year, finally made the starting lineup after they finally traded Vince Carter and got Steve Nash back. Starting lineup was now Javale McGee, Channing Frye, Nick Batum, Me, Steve Nash. Decided to stop playing until they fixed the trading glitch, because I was satisfied and didn't want the CPU to keep tinkering with it.

After the patch, fired it back up and finished the season 27ppg, Most Improved Player, All NBA 1st Team, All NBA Defensive 2nd Team, and got voted to ASG. Slaughtered 4-1 by the Warriors in the second round of the playoffs.

Third year, it just all came together. Finished the season with 31ppg, best record in the NBA (56-26), League MVP, Scoring Title, All NBA Team, All NBA Defensive Team.

Playoffs:
Mavericks gave us a bit of a scare in the first round after they came back from 0-2 to tie up the series, but we won the next two. We disposed of the Nuggets 4-1 (should have been 4-0, but they were on fire in game 4). So, we are finally in the Western Conference finals, and guess who we get to face? Yup, the dang Thunder!

I was a bit nervous, but I felt pretty good as we beat them the final two times in the regular season by a margin of 10+ each game. We quickly go up 2-0 at home, before hitting the road to OKC. They put up a big fight in game 3, but we're able to hold off a 4th quarter surge and go up 3-0. They win a nailbiter in Game 4, and we finally put them out of their misery (by 19!) in Game 5.

Finals:
Now it's finals time, and we are playing the Heat. Series started ok, with us winning the first game at home by 10. Then it turned ugly. We dropped the 2nd home game by 13, and then the Heat spanked us on their home court in Games 3 and 4 by 14 and 20 respectively. We are now down 1-3 with Game 5 on their home court. Peachy. My team showed up big time in Game 5 though, and we won in a 4th Qtr hustle by 5 points. Game 6, we thrashed 'em by 17. McGee had a HUGE Game 6 with 35 points, 17 boards, and 3 blocks.

Game 7, time to put up or shut up. Doesn't look good from the get go, as they go up 34 to 20 at the end of the first. We come back a bit in the 2nd and it's Heat 56 Suns 50. Third quarter is a bit lackluster, as all we pretty much do is trade baskets, but we did tie it up going into the fourth. We then end up smashing them for a good 5-6 minutes (I just couldn't miss, went 6-6 during that stretch) in the fourth to go up by 7 with 5 minutes left. Then, me and Batum both hit a three pointer with about 2 minutes to go, and we are up by 10. They make a couple of shots, but now they have to foul. Awesome. Steve Nash is one of the best free throw shooters in the game, and I'm shooting 94% free throws in the playoffs. We, of course, make six consecutive free throws in the final minute (4 for Nash, two for me), and we win the title. I make Finals MVP.

Third season was bittersweet though. We finally won the championship, but Nash had already announced he was retiring (he's 40 in the game at this point). At least we got to send him off with a ring though.

Now, it's time for contract negotiations. Phoenix is offering 12.9mil per for 5 seasons. Sweet deal, but Orlando is offering 14.5mil per for 5 seasons, and I always said to myself that if I didn't stay with the Suns, I'd go to Orlando to play with Howard. Unfortunately for the Magic, Phoenix accepted that I wanted more money and upped my contract to 14.11 million for 5 seasons, so I will remain in Suns uniform.

Simmed the off-season, MAJOR MOVES have taken place. Frye opted out of his final year and went to free agency. Fortunately for us, both Melo and Milsap opted out of their contracts as well and we got them both. Now, the starting lineup is Raymond Felton (hope the team trades him for more of a passing PG later in the season), Me, Melo, Milsap, McGee. I really hate that Batum had to go to the bench, because he came up big for us in some key games in the playoffs, and played generally well throughout the past couple of seasons. While I will like having his firepower off the bench, I can't help feel that he would be better utlized as a starter for another team, so I'm honestly hoping we trade him somewhere he can shine like he deserves. I have a feeling he's going to request a trade pretty soon into the season anyway.

The biggest move, however, was the Magic. I didn't go there, but LeBron opted for FA and now he and Howard are on the same team. That's probably going to cause a lot of problems for the East. Bosh left the Heat too (can't exactly remember where he went), and only Wade opted to stay in Miami. Heat have two huge holes in their roster now. Season 4 should be interesting.

I also have two other MP files, a 2nd Year 6'3 All Around PG for the Hornets and a rookie 7'0 center for the Warriors. I'll probably delete both of those files and start a new PG once the trade deadline passes (March 15) and 2K has had time to get all the rosters updated. So, it'll be nice to take a break (been goin hard at this game since release day) and play something else. I still have Uncharted 3 sealed up, so I'll have plenty of time to get into that.

Hey guys when you sim gmes do you get skill points for dimmed games??

[threio]

After numerous freezes and lags during game deciding plays, I stopped playing while my PS3 was online. So after resetting my roster, I was delighted to find Jeremy Lin (an excuse) on the Knicks and decided to find another challenge like my Center/Kings.

Instead of playing my Center; I spent the last 24-48 manipulating the Draft Showcase and creating new players. I now have made a big ball of confusion.

The highights and low lights:

PG - Shooting - Jazz - 6-5/207 - Draft glitch neutral and a team that needs a "Star"
SG - Athletic- Wizards - 6-5/217 - From the bottom to the top?
SG - Shooting - Pacers - 6-6/207 - Draft glitch neutral and a team that just needs another young "good" player
SG - Shooting - Warriors - 6-6/217 - A total mess here, they already have Monta Ellis (83) and they draft me (62) and Klay Thompson (65).

I like the idea of being part of the re-building process with Al Jefferson on the Jazz, but playing PG its pretty easy FOR ME to get A teammate grades.

Playing SG is another matter (failed w/1st player); the bumping and having to "D" up tough offensive matchups every night makes getting a B+ a challenge for me. Excellent low post game and mid range shooting but my inability to master dribble and off-ball moves make this a good challenge FOR ME.

Leaning towards playing the GS Warriors my player 5 games, then asking for a trade, that should land me somewhere @ 11 games that actually needs a SG before he becomes a Starter. Potential Trade: Nets or Magic...Raptors, T-Wolves, Suns (not Draft glitch neutral)

Decisions....decisions...I think I will fire up the Eraser and dunk in a few faces to relieve some stress!!!

if your player completes milestones during the sim, then you get skill points for that milestone. but for the games itself, no.
