NBA 2K9: Five Teams You Should Expect Online

[Po Pimp]

The Bulls will get picked online. Maybe not as much as LA or Cleveland, or Houston, but they will be top 10. Reason why? Rose.

Now this all depends on what type of rating they gave him, but if you compare him to players from last year's game, Rose should have atleast a 95 speed, 84 dunk rating, and maybe an 88-90 handles. For the cheesers, those are the only ratings that matter...those are the only ratings they need. I just don't see why the top pick in the draft in one of the most popular cities/teams in the world wouldn't get a look. Plus I forecast the Rose to Thomas oops all day.

Lakers are my favorite team, but I doubt I will use them very often. Reason being everyone else always gets them. Not because they like them, but because they are the best. Gayness.

I ran my line up of

Lou Williams
Iggy
Carney
Thaddeus
Dalembert/J Smith

for a good 150 games! Carney and Young were the best 70 rated players in the game. They scored like they were rated in the 90s. Lou Williams was a beast after the last roster update, and Iggy's steal rating went from 85 to 91 for some reason. I loved that team.

You're right it'll be disappointing seeing all the bandwagon jumpers. Young's 3 Pt rating is going to take a huge hit though. Probably down to the low 70s.

The Raptors have arguably the largest fanbase on the internet, and probably one of the largest on 2k8, but the team wasn't good enough for them to use consistently.

With the addition of JO and the fact that Calderon and Parker will be rated in the high 80s for 3, with Kapono being a low 90, you should more consistent use of them. Moon will probably be far too effective offensively aswell, and he'll probably be ridiculous on defense.

1.Rockets
2.Celtics
3.Lakers
4.Suns
5.Cavs

I expect these teams...but if you pick the Cavs expect to take a lot of L's this year. Especially playing against any of these teams I listed above them.
