Yo, Mr.Blackcock, I heard Yi is not in 2K8 for the PS2. That's weird, since he is in the 360 version... well, I still haven't got my copy for the PS3 yet, but I kind of hope he IS in that version. Anyhoo, how's your association doing in 2K8? What are some of the differences in this one, dude? |
Marbury isn't really an effective player period. Every team he has played for has dramtically improved once he was traded. That is proof. I bet the knicks turn into a 50 win team once that jackass leaves. He doesn't even have passion for the nba anymore, I remember reading that he wanted to play for italy once his contact is up. He will be 32 then. That is pretty shitty. At 32 he should have a few good years left in him and should be fighting for a ring somewhere. The guy is an overpaid jerkoff. It's fucking sad. I would give anything to have the talent he has. More so I would give anything to play in the nba. Let alone be an allstar and always start.
as for 2k8- The a.i is greatly improved for the ps2. The reason yi is not in the game is because 2k sports has a deadline for the rosters and players. Since yi held out for so long they didn't know wether he would be in the nba or go back to china. Even though the bucks would have his rights I think because he would go play for china that 2ksports would not have the right to put him in the game. As for 360 having him- keep in mind they put a lot more work into the new generation game systems. the ps2 version is a like a moderatly updated 2k7. There announcers have some new things to say, the a.i is improved, the rosters are accurate for the most part, the graphics are improved, jerseys are updated. (except toronto! They still have the purple in the jersey! wtf!), ect. The next generation systems supposivly have all the allstar weekend activites- all the ps2 has is the all star game itself.
as for my association-
I started out as the cavs. i went 10-0 and got bored.
So i quit and picked up as the 76ers. They were 3-13 when I got to them. I went 12-1 to catch the 8th seed in the playoffs. ( I only play 29 game seasons, hey it's all about the playoffs anyway!) I am going against the top seeded knicks. In game one i beat the hell out of them. 114-81. I play on the level right below hall of fame. I think it is time to up it.
All in all - I bet the next generation is much more fun and accurate. but for 30 bucks it is well worth it for ps2. probably the best 30 bucks I have spent this year. I am poor though and haven't bought much.
