Good luck to everyone and may you all have a horrible starting line up , haha.

Ronnie Brewer starting off nicely...which should save us all a trade, so we don't have to get rid of him.

      Tue, Oct 30, 2007, 23:14 		I think it is ridiculous I pay $20 for a service, that 8 years ago was
free...It operated better when it was free. Now, with all the
technological advances, and PAYING for it, we are getting a worse
product.

It is obvious the only reason they even run the game is to sell their
magazine.

last year you were able to see the rosters right after the freeze which I regularly enjoyed. However for baseball i think you only got to see the frozen roster after the freeze and didn't get to other teams trades until stats were updated. Its really just a display issue and doesn't effect much but i hope they can switch it back. I enjoyed calculating my rivals points before TSN did it for me. I wrote a message in the game issues thread seeing if they can switch it.

Can any1 confirm it was tis way for baseball. I was less into that game.

For the record...ANYONE on the Jazz is playing better than Okur...I
am an amazing drafter...

You could see the trades that were made that day at 11pm last year...pretty sure the first night last year they didn't have it sorted out either.

Diogu and then upgrade a 500K guard to one of the several options
around 3 mill now...

Probably wait a few days, if not a week, on some or all of that...

if he gets those stats every day, i'll be very happy with 35.5 per game for a 6.5 million dollar center...and as PR said, against the spurs.

if there's such a thing as a moral victory, the blazers had one...they looked pretty resilient.
