Yea I saw the wolves in that EA promo. We were getting handled but at least we were there!

Finally won the NBA title in My Career, Got to say the championship presentation is pretty awesome. Fans were going nuts, it last for about 4 minutes, way better than past games. Stern comes out, congratulates you, the players are all excited. Only one problem. Bill Russell came out to give the MVP and in this one damn game Gordon goes off for 36.

I had 22, 15, and 12 yet Gordon gets all the credit for this one game and wins the finals MVP trophy, wtf? I damn near averaged a triple double in the playoffs. Thought for sure it was coming to me when Russell came up there but then he was all like, "This game has always been, and always will be, about buckets." Whatever. I brought a ring to Minnesota so I'm happy.

Arooooo!!!

^ you should check the awardee

when i win the championship in association mode, there's a bug that Bill Russell give's the mvp trophy to a benchwarmer like Lou Amundson or Greg Stiemsma in the ceremony.
But afterwards when look it up, its says Kevin Love is the Finals MVP

Haha. Russel should tweet an apology
Are you using default 2k roster and settings?
I made a SG in mycareer using default settings.
All I do is spot up and shoot threes. Always 100+ points every game just doing that. Takes away the fun tho lol

A lot of bugs in 2k13 pretty messed up.
Still have high hopes for 2k14

Use default sliders sometimes I switch it to simulation mode though. I could probably score 60 a night if I pushed it but I found, especially in the playoffs, I am way better off playing team ball 100 percent. I play D like a mad man and pass the ball all the time looking for easy shots. Also if I don't focus on rebounding we get killed.

I grew tired of myCareer. Gives me little incentives when i do something right while killing my team grade when i do something wrong

You should try using modded settings and rosters.
2k13 is really messed up. CPU outrebounds you all the time.
Game is too fast imo players exploding like all of them are Lebron.
You can steal the ball easily. Shoot the 3 easily. So on so forth yada yada yada

you should try calibrated settings if you want some pinch of realism. Just google it
unless your happy with the default settings then good for you

Just made a big trade
MIN OUT/BOS IN :
Nikola Pekovic, Arron Afflalo, '15 first and second round pick
MIN IN/BOS OUT :
Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce (both expiring)

Rubio/Beverly/Udrih
Pierce/Shved
Wiggins/Bud/Barnes
Love/Dham/Wright/Tolliver
Garnett/Gobert

really fun team.
Garnett compliments really well with Love because of his defense. And with Garnett's jumpshot they can play inside out.
Pierce still has it. Plays D. Shoot 3's.
Can still run the floor or make iso plays.
But what's important is that they're expirings. And Rubio is expiring too so I need cap space to sign him

Plus very nostalgic to have Garnett back in Minny. I always wear retro jerseys :D

Two awesome games have just come out or are on the Horizon. First off is The Last of Us, major PS3 release set in a post apocalyptic world. Think the The Road. Getting raving reviews and I plan to get it in the future.

[YouTube]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-GBXuE6jcl4[/YouTube]

Second game is a little gem that came out of nowhere for me. State of Decay, this one is an Xbox 360 arcade game and is also set in a post apocalyptic world. This game focuses more on survival, set in an open world. Think the opened off a GTA game but the survival aspects of The Walking Dead.

Can't wait for The Last of Us. It's getting some amazing reviews already. I wish State of Decay was on PS3, that looks like a lot of fun as well.

For anyone who has Playstation and is a Playstation + subscriber. Dues Ex and Saint's Row the Third will be free to download during June. I loved Saints Row the Third. Thought it was a lot of fun. You can play the entire campaign in co op if you have a friend who has it as well. Can't wait for 4.

State of Decay not having multi sucks but if the game is a success those things may be added. Also their end game goal is to create a MMO version. I have only played about 45 minutes but I am loving it. It also seems like the game has already sold something close to 80 thousand copes in 12 hours.

State of Decay hasn't come out in Australia yet, for whatever stupid reason, but I definitely want to download it when it does.

Last of Us preordered, doesn't come out until next week :(

I also got Remember Me today. Haven't played it yet and I probably won't today (work, ugh) but I was pretty hyped for this game. Anyone have this or played it?

Fellas, I have had State of Decay for only one day but already it is my favorite zombie game of all time and one of my favorite 360 games. If I knew what I know now about this game, I would not hesitate to pay $60 dollars for it. This is an absolute gem of an xbox live game. The way they made the open world so dynamic is just flat out refreshing. I hope this becomes a big hit and a new franchise.

Finally won my first title in my player after 7 years and who did we beat to take it? Yep the T-Wolves.

Wolves have
PG - Ricky
SG - Evan Fournier(Pretty beast in the 80's)
SF - Caged Lion(Has become a superstar in the 90's)
PF - KLove
C - Simmed dude in the 70's

Kobe and Dirk both retired T-Wolves a few years ago.

My Raptors put out
Roddy Buckets(I asked to trade for him)/Jeremy Lin
Paul George/Terrance Ross
Me(6'10 SF)/Ross
Ed Davis
Jonas(Superstar I think 95)

We made the Finals last year and lost to OKC but we added Paul George through free agency last year and got over the hump to beat the Wolves in 6 games. Was my contract year and decided to sign back in Canada.

200,000 watching E3 on twitch, i've never seen #s like that before. PS4 looking real nice. I'm already excited about making the switch to Sony and telling Xbox to go **** themselves.
