I didn’t exactly know what was going on but I just knew I wanted the Jaguars and Magic to win games. Uh, ekedolphin.what does any of this have to do with WCW? :-)Īll-Star Championship Wrestling Home Video Technical Director.Outside of video games, I was always into sports as a child, football and basketball in particular. No matter how obvious the trap, you can't complete the game unless you fall into it. That leaves me a lot of leeway in being able to either throw in picks to get big trades, or just wait to pick up some great rookies. In the 2003 version, I've ended up with 4 first round, 2 second round and 1 fourth round picks just through trading. The current artist tickling my fancy: Brenda Weiler I was surprised as I was used to games just letting you make any trade you liked. I needed a solid offensive lineman for the Bears, so I ended up finally getting a trade with Oakland for Steve Wisnewski (86) for David Terrell (81) AND a first round draft pick. I just started playing Madden 2002 (yeah I'm cheap, and buy the previous year's game used) and I found that it was quite tough about letting trades go through. I think my record is something like 45-4 at this point, but I haven't played in a while. I remember doing something similar with one of the Ken Griffey baseball games for the N64 I took the Devil Rays and basically made a N.L. "A-HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" - me

I'm guessing off, but if it were on I might just have to go out and buy NBA Live to go along with my recent purchases of Tiger Woods 2003 and FIFA 2003, both of which are totally awesome.

“I do not mean to pry, but you wouldn't by any chance happen to have six fingers on your right hand?” hopefully Jermaine O'Neal will get a maximum contract with someone after this, his contract year.Īny thoughts? Or recollections on some strange or interesting trades of your own? I also traded Mike Miller to the Indiana Pacers in exchange for one of my favorite players, Al Harrington.Īfter the year's out, I'm thinking of trading Shaq for some talented younger players. My bench was depleted somewhat, but I got the league's most unstoppable center. The Shaq/Kobe connection was reborn in Memphis. I traded Lorenzen Wright, Shane Battier and Wesley Person to the Lakers in exchange for Jannaro Pargo, Stanislav Medevenko and a guy you may have heard of called Shaquille O'Neal. On 11/20, I made a huge couple of trades that landed me the #1-ranked team in the league (to go along with my undefeated record). On, I traded Eddie Gill and Cezary Trebanski (two guys who'd spent the entire year on the inactive list) to the Orlando Magic for Mike Miller. PF Pau Gasol/Stromile Swift (depending on game's needs) So at this point, my starting lineup looked like this: To make up the one-man roster turnover, I signed Greg Foster as a free agent. Madsen was immediately traded, along with Rodney Buford, to the L.A. I traded Michael Dickerson and Jason Williams to the L.A. So, here are the trades that I made to start the season: In other words, you can't trade Kwame Brown for Shaquille O'Neal. I started Franchise Mode, and keep in mind that at this point the computer will only allow trades that it feels are fair to the team you're trading with. I don't like Jason Williams, he makes too many bad passes.Īnyway. Hawn started with a rating of 80, not quite better than Jason Williams, but I decided to start him anyway. Ewing started with a rating of 79, making him the Grizzlies' starting center pretty much by default. In preparation for starting a new Franchise Mode with the Memphis Grizzlies, I released two of the franchise's lowly players and signed Patrick Ewing and myself, Eddie Hawn. The following details some of my recent experiences playing NBA Live 2003 (PS2 version):
