NBA Live 2007 - Very Tall Team

I bought the NBA Live 2007 game as I cannot play the NBA 2k7 game. I have thought for the past number of years that NBA Live 2007 are the lesser game than the 2k series games. The 2k series of games are more realistic to actual basketball while the NBA Live 2007 games are more arcades like, with some of the players having a huge head that is way too big for their body. Anyway, I always like to tinker with the rosters when I play these games, and make certain of my favorite teams especially strong, or grouping players that I like on the same team, such as Steve Nash and Yao Ming. Of course, there is always the mandatory process of creating my own player that bears my own name and has a rating of “absolutely perfect”. I essentially created 2 very strong teams, one is the Phoenix Suns, led by Steve Nash (after I tweaked his ratings a little bit), supplemented by Shawn Marion, better version of Amare Stoudamire while majority of the team stayed intact. Another strong team beside the one that I control is the Miami Heats, for no particular reason then the fact that EASports made them very strong (even though they just got trashed by the Bulls last night, a 40+ point blowout).

However, the team that I control is the New York Knicks. It is not that I like the Knicks, but that I used to live in New York, and I like the city of New York, and there are really no particular teams that I like otherwise (since I usually like the players and not the team – as if I used to like Dallas when Nash was there, and when Nash went to Phoenix, I start to like Phoenix instead and not Dallas anymore.) Anyway, I created a rather wonderful team I thought. I signed myself as a free agent, trade the whole NY Knicks to the Houston Rockets so I have Yoa Ming. Traded McGrady to another team. Traded for Darko Millic, Adam Morrison, Macej Lampe, Andrea Bargaini. Oh yeah, and I made myself 7 feet tall. Therefore, my starting lineup has an average of 7 ft. Shane Battier is like the shortest person in the starting line up. I think this is fun to have a team like that, and bother other teams with their heights. The first game I played with this lineup, I was able to held and bother the appointment for quite some time before they start to fight back, but it was too little too late. However, in the second match, I am not as good as the first match and was unable to disturb people with our team’s heights. However, with me been the point guard and l being really tall and good at everything, I was able to push back the opponent and still win. Cannot wait to play some more with this team.
