NBA 2K8

About a week ago I tried to play NBA 2k8 online against Corey. For some reason, which I'm still to figure out, the process failed, and we couldn't see each other online.

It motivated me to pick up this game again though, and I decided to try a season. I don't know if I've ever finished a season (and I've been playing basketball games since "Bulls vs Blazers" on the Megadrive), but I'm really into this one.

I went with the Bulls as my team. I've never used them a lot in 2K8 before, but they have a pretty good team, especially since the Cavs trade last season. I'm starting Hinrich, Gordon, Deng, Nocioni (a really good three point shooter) and Noah (great cleaning up around the basket), which leaves a bench rotation of Drew Gooden, Ty Thomas, Larry Hughes, and Thabo Sefalosha. Not bad at all.

I lost the first game, then reeled of four wins in a row (two of them in overtime). All of the games have been close, except for when I played the Suns, who ran me off the floor. Right now I'm about 10% of the way through the season with a 5-3 record, and feel like I'm starting to get the hang of it.

Will I win the title? Or will I lose all interest in the coming week? Stay tuned to find out.
