For some reason this evening, I decided to switch from Pro/SIM or All-Star/SIM to straight up Pro/Default. I wanted to see exactly what the differences were, if all sliders were straight up default 50's.
What did I get? I got possibly the best game of virtual bball that I could garner.
I was the Wizards at the Verizon Center taking on the traveling Heat, and their 3 headed monster. Game started off pretty intense, trading baskets back and forth, and Lebron absolutely going nuts on me. He was literally a virtual Lebron. I've never seen anything like it. Dude made one drive through the lane, and whipped the ball around his head to a cutting Haslem for what would have been an easy duece, had Javale McGee not been there to throw Haslem to the ground. Lebron was the facilitator, and playing the drive and kick game. Wade was in attack mode, and Bosh was typical Bosh, there when you need him.
It was the perfect representation of the Heat basketball squad. Fast forward, 16 minutes into the game, Wade is wide open on the right baseline, LBJ finds him, Wade elevates, and so does Blatche... collision, and Wade goes down hard. Out for the rest of the game.
What does that mean for the rest of the 32 minutes? LBJ Time. He went into straight attack mode, and we were trading the lead, back and forth for the vast majority of even the 4th quarter, until Nick Young got scorching hot, draining back to back to back threes.... giving the Wizards a comfortable lead.
Final score ended up being 110-102, but it was MUCH closer than that. And that was all without Wade, who had 8 points in 16 minutes. Lebron had a CRAZY statline of 42 pts, 9 Rebounds, 9 Assists.
Fortunately for me, Nick Young who played all but 2 minutes had 46 points, 4 assists, 5 rebounds, and 3 steals. Wall Had 27 points, and Javale had 20 points.
Easily, the best game that I've EVER played period. There were deflections, traps, flops, just an all around more organic game. I didn't once feel cheated, (and I was down 7 on a 10-0 run)... it was a thing of beauty. If you all haven't at least tried the Default setting instead of SIM, I think you're missing out. It will remain on Default from now on, until something makes me change it. Screens and videos will be up from the game tomorrow.
In the meantime, post your favorite moments, games...
