DYSI

I don't think casuals, even a lot of diehards, could name their favorite teams first round pick from last year. People, including the media, try to draw parallels to the NFL draft and it's such an entirely different beast. People carry over that "These guys will surely help us now!" mindset from the NFL Draft that they can't wrap their minds around not seeing these guys for four, five, or six years if at all.

And you're spot on about positions. All these kids play shortstop or center in high school, just like pretty much every current MLB player did at that age.

Only Yankees first round pick I ever remembered was Brien Taylor. Smh.

I can never find a match online.

What are you playing on? I haven't had too much trouble on PS5 when I've been on. 

Word is Stadium Stampede is going to be a free update now.

Golf carts, t-shirt guns and horses... shit is gonna get crazy. 

Anybody get the hang of doing tag team moves or tag finishers? Considering how much they focused early AEW on great tag teams, this is one of the most frustrating things to execute.

I don't think anyone had mentioned them yet. How are the mini games? Is it like Mario Party but instead of Mario you're John Silver or something?  

 

Also reviewers getting abuse is nuts. I like AEW way more than WWE but a bad game is a bad game

 

The only one I got around to was the one where you skateboard around and try and knock everyone else into the electrified cage walls and it was pretty hilarious. 

And as far as the reviews, I think if you enjoying just crazy arcade bullshit then this is a fun game. If you want a detailed career mode and realistic CAWs then you're better off with 2k23. The fact that you can play on Switch is a bonus since 2k23 isn't even trying to enter that game. I wish I would've went that direction but maybe if it gets cheap enough on a prime day/black friday deal I'll cop a Switch version to play on the go.

Ah man, Nets traded Joe Harris to Detroit in what was basically a cap dump.

He was one of the first who came over to turn the team around when Sean Marks came in, but ever since he screwed up his ankle he hasn't really been the same - sucks to see him go.

I wonder how we're going to play this off-season because it seems like we're clearing up the books for another big move or just freeing up to pay Cam Johnson's new deal.

Well there you go, Nets kept Cam Johnson 4yr/108m

Also from what I read ya know how they come out together at the start of the video? Well they don't do that in the game! Apparently you have to go into the menus and create that yourself

Yeah just did Bucks vs. FTR a few minutes ago and they had two solo entrances. Pretty lame.

Yes, doing something that's only been done twenty-three other times is still impressive.  

🤔

It's been pretty fun, only played it a handful of times with a friend but it's definitely a fun play in that respect. I haven't touched Road to Elite yet but I might give that a look for a few before Dynamite and see how that plays. 

Does the pre-order allow access to the Stadium Stampede or is that a whole seperate deal entirely?

Well this is going to be fun!

How on Earth did John Collins' stock fall so far that he gets traded for the hollowed out cask of Rudy Gay AND a pick?

I feel like I read that ATL'S ownership is pinching pennies lately. Especially after not trying to keep Hueter last offseason.

If not, you'd got to imagine the worst case scenario was getting atleast a low level first rounder and a decent bench player. They must've just wanted to shed the deal and not get much back in return. So they nailed it. 

Is this Kristaps trade suppose to be a win for Boston? NBA is still trending small and Smart is an All-Defensive player every year and plays his role along JB and JT well.

Just an odd deal imo, esp with the concerns about Brogdan's shoulder. 

Some more tidbits and minor reveals in this Twitch stream Uno and Orange did. 

7 years ago the Mets had their best moment in franchise history.

Some AI generated takes on NFL mascots...

Seattle and Green Bay are my most "WTF is that?". Also the Giants mascot being named "NEWT"..

Damn these Eagles

Odell saved the day!

Turns out it was a good move for the Giants to not tank for Chase!

Immediately shuffled backwards to let his teammates get in between them as well. If you’re going to throw a punch then sack up and give Anderson the chance to swing back at least.

 

Bitch move by Gobert for sure. Crazy how this trade crumbled so quickly, I was one that thought it would've worked and propelled them to another level, but man it 100% did not.

Jason Kidd isn't afraid to pass the buck. He was a coach killer as a player and he won't hesitate to look for his next job - if he hasn't found it already. 

I'm glad the Nets missed the play-in, but going up against Embiid won't be fun, even if the Sixes have been playing like crap lately.

I feel like I read somewhere it would be a bonus/cash prize? I could be wrong though but that would be the best route either way considering the main goal should be the NBA Championship instead of a in-season cup.

Speaking of awards, is it too late to have Mikal Bridges win the Most Improved? He's been waaay better than expected since he came over for KD. I knew his defense was stellar but he's putting up 30 and 40 point games with ease now.

Good to see Kyrie fitting in well in Dallas.

I haven't played any 2k prior and I can say that I'm thoroughly enjoying 2k23. I played it a couple hours yesterday and really got a decent feel for the controls pretty easily. I haven't done too many modes yet but the MyGM has been  great so far - although I'm still trying to get a hang of actually putting on solid shows to pop a decent rating in game. 

Still not sure how a show with Faarooq and Jake The Snake in the main event is rated about the same when I'm running out Bret/Danielson/Kingston/Rollins >_>

Eagles cut CB Darius Slay.

That's what happens when you let a washed Kenny Golladay score a TD on you.
