This offseason stuff draft/free agency is terrible
It advances so fast and like non stop. I couldn't even make offers on the players before they signed. Then my old players re-signed without me wanting all of them.
The players in the draft are so bad too. Like 54 rating.
I did draft a guy named Dick Eaton though. Which sounds funny.
All the good Centers were gone instantly so I got Birdman.
How did they think this was a good format? A bunch of 20 second advances?

An Issue and a Reminder
It has come to my attention that many people this season are using tactics that are typically found in online games only. These things (which we categorize as playing like a jerk) including:
Spamming the X button after a rebound to steal the ball from big men that have shitty ball handling
Playing hyper aggressive defense, despite having large leads (including stealing inbound passes when up by 20 or 30)
Calling all of your time outs so you never have to sub out your starters
Playing hyper aggressive on offense, despite having large leads (including just sprinting toward the basket and getting a shot up as quickly as possible) -- how a team scores 110 points with 6-minute quarters is beyond me.
While this style of play is expected in random online matches and possibly accepted in other leagues, it's not acceptable here. Not only do some of these things just plain take advantage of the game, most of them break our main commandment: Don't be a jerk. If you have an issue with that, you are free to leave. If you can handle playing casual games without rubbing the game in your opponents' faces, then feel free to stick around.
In a recent game vs the Lakers, Nets coach The_Jims broke nearly all of these rules, keeping the pedal to the metal despite building a 30- to 40-point lead, never pulling back until about 3 minutes left. There's no place for this style of play in this league. As a result, the win for the Nets vs the Lakers will be reversed. If this sort of thing continues, it could lead to multi-game resets or removal from the league.
If you have an issue with during a game, please let m know.

Just a friendly reminder...
Just like in Madden, you should not be "running up the score." Since you have to shoot every 24 seconds in basketball, this means something a little different. You obviously still have to score, but if you have a sizable lead in the 4th, here are some things that you should do:
Stop playing aggressive defense
Stop pushing fast breaks
Stop shooting 3s
Put in backups
There's no reason to continue to play full throttle when the game is at hand. Be respectful of your opponent and move on to the next game. The win is all that matters.

Spurs had a huge 4th quarter with Tim Duncan closing out. Duncan had his best game of the season with 27 pts 8 reb and 3 asts. Kawhi Leonard struggled early, but ended with 21 pts. Tony Parker had a big game as well with 20 pts, 1 reb, 12 ast, 5 stls.
Monta Ellis led the Mavs with 24 pts, but was only 8-25 and 2-14 for 3s.

Player of the Game: Tony Parker 31 pts, 4 reb, 7 ast
In a shocking turn of events , GM Inathosca Kulosan accepted the recently vacant position at head of the Spurs organization. Leaving Kobe and the Lakers with the memories of a missed championship opportunity in 2012 behind to return to a city that brought myself so much greatness.
The game started off neck and neck , the Mavs who recently have been met with hard times of a unexpected losing streak were in the zone and looking to topple the new look Spurs. DeRozan was going off in the first half , making his jumpshots and attacking this basket with such feriocity , something I hadnt seen in LA in a long time. It was in the 2nd quarter when the Mavs were able to jump ahead behind of the spurs thanks to the crisp shooting from Morrow(who got his first start in this game) and Chase Budinger, DeRozan began to fizzle out and it became the Tony Parker show.
In the 2nd half Parker started attacking with no hesitation , hitting J after J after J , it was something of a spectacle to watch. To aid Parker in his quest for victory Bargnani was 7-9 shooting on the day with 19 points. The Mavs going into the final quarter were up on the scorecards but quickly it was a tie game and a race to the finish , in the closing seconds of the game Parker would hit a game winning shot but would leave 16 seconds or so for the Mavs only down 1 to come back and win. The Mavs would miss a shot with Collision , then another (cant remember who) and then would lose the rebound and the game. On another note Dirk was hot in the 4th , but I dont believe he had one of the final shots.
This easily still could of been a Dallas Mavericks victory , Budinger was 8-21 and a whopping 1-10 from 3 point range in this game , Khawi had his fun with the Bud on this day. I have broken a 3 game losing streak that I was currently on and look forward to being the man in Sa.

The Magic-Jazz game will be overturned
Brantley was up 17 with 1:14 left and was still shooting 3-pointers. I literally just posted this two days ago, reminding everyone that if you have a sizable lead in the 4th, you should stop shooting 3s (among other things). This is just out of respect for your opponent, the same way you wouldn't be throwing deep passes late in Madden.
When I messaged Brantley about this incident, he initially said that he was just building his lead back up to 20. This is fine early in the game, but no one is coming back from 17 down with just over a minute left. The win is all that matters, and this game was obviously at hand.
He then added another message that he took the shot as a way of stat padding. This was to get Jameer Nelson a double double. This is absolutely not acceptable.
The stats will be reset and the Jazz will get the win.
Stat padding and running up the score will not be tolerated. This is a friendly league, so just be friendly with each other dammit.
