I play him sometimes. Depends on the matchup.How bout u guys. Doesent Dwight seem a little overated in that game? He is unstopable. or maybe its just unlike the real magic I feed him the ball.

When I play I try to keep my Association as close to realistic as possible. I typically run with the normal starting five of

Nelson
Evans
Hedo
Lewis
Howard

After that Dooling is my main guard off the bench with Bogan backing up Hedo and a combination of Cook and Foyle down low with the occasional Augustine if I need defense.

Recently I have been playing JJ about 10 minutes a game on 11 minute quarters. Usually he is a very productive offensive player and can score about 11 points in 11 minutes. I like him in short stints but it's very hard to play him against Kobe/Lebron/AI/etc...

And yes, Dwight is a monster in the game, he's averaging 27 points and 15 rebounds a game for me....but I'm a very good free throw shooter when it comes to the Magic players.

I have both Live and 2K8.

In 2K8 he gets about 4 mins per game. (5 min quarters)

In Live I traded him and Payton for Farmar and Ratliff.

I tried the Live 08 on PC but it was so horrible I didn't even give a shot on playing more than a few games.

Back to Live07 and updated rosters and I traded JJ in my first season in a dinasty.
Now I need a good outside shooter.

I just bought 2k8 and I have a starting line up of;

Nelson
Hedo
Lewis
Battie
Howard

I have yet to play any games outside of playing the street game type online with my friend.

EasternMagic, what would you say if I told you that I just decided that I'm only going to play JJ in the last few seconds of blowout games?

He's been doing great in practice so far and I think he is a very good player. However, I'm looking forward to him requesting a trade in the offseason so that I can just exercise the option on his contract to bring him and bench him another season. Rinse and repeat until he retires.

They made JJ suck so hard in Live this year. Last year I'd put up 40pts with him easy. This year I cannot make a 3 with him even when I change his 3pt ability to a 99...

On 2k8 I light it up with him, but I think that game sucks so I dont play it much

Dang... I have 2k8 for the 360 and hes the man on it. They had him starting in the system. That being said I've probably only played 4 or 5 games on it...

I try and mirror what the current NBA lineups are in my association, so I was running Nelson, Mo, Turk, Lewis, and Dwight with JJ getting maybe 2-3 mins a game (5 min quarters) But Hedo got a severe ankle sprain on the first game of the 1st round and was out for 6 weeks. I had no one else to replace him with but JJ (Cook's shot is too quick and hard to control in the game) I had to adjust so much because Turk and JJ controls so differently in the game. The Hawks took me to seven games, I dispatched the Raptors in 5 games in the 2nd round, and won over the Cavs in game seven of the ECF with a Jameer jumper with 1.2 seconds left. Now I face the Spurs in the Finals and Hedo still 9 days away from recovery.
About Dwight being unstoppable in the game, I thought the same pre-patch, but after the patch the post D actually got tougher, you now get stripped if you keep going to the same post move all the time, plus the deflections on entry passes have increased too.

I was alot better with him in 2k7 than 2k8. I'll tell you though, Cook is an absolute stud in this game.

Umm, I traded JJ after one game or so.

My SL in the game is: Dwight, Al Harrington, Lewis, Hedo, Nelson

I'm like 30-10 or something on the hardest level.

Note: I'm mega pissed about all these trades going on screwing up my game roster, lol
