Working on current roster updates for NBA 2K11 has emphasised how many players from around 2010 are no longer in the league, and combing through the rosters of NBA Live 10 yields further examples. Since NBA Live 10 has been my retro jam as of late, and I’ve already engaged in the fun exercise of taking some screenshots of 2010 players in their rookie season retro jerseys, this week I’m going in the other direction. This week, I’m sharing some screenshots of players in NBA Live 10 that are still active as of 2021, in their current teams’ jerseys. You’ll also find old NLSC editorials re-published with added commentary, and other flashback content. Check in every Wednesday for retrospectives and other features on older versions of NBA Live, NBA 2K, and old school basketball video games in general. I want to be great at everything." Like I said, Rookie of the Year.This is Wayback Wednesday, your midweek blast from the past! In this feature, we dig into the archives, look back at the history of basketball gaming, and indulge in some nostalgia. I don't want to be great at one thing but mediocre at something else. in real life, but in the game, that's when you'll see me put up those M.J.-type numbers." But what's the biggest thing he needs to work on to put up those numbers for real? "I'm working on every part of my game right now. Believe me, I have no problem passing to K.G. "I just pass it to myself every time and shoot because I know when the real season starts, it's not going to be like that at all.
It's surreal to think that now kids are going to go out and buy my card and play as me in Live." And although Foye isn't much of a gamer, he's excited to finally see his character hit the Xbox. I even had his rookie card, but once you start getting those recruiting letters, cards go out the window. I used to collect basketball cards, tried to get every one of Mike. "I wanted to be a shorter M.J.," said the former New Jersey High School Player of the Year. He's athletic in the fashion of LeBron and Scottie Pippen." And while Rudy might be the new Pippen, Foye tried to pattern his game after Pip's balder, more famous teammate. I asked him who he would take with his first pick and there was no hesitation. Just give me the number 06." As we checked out NBA Live, I told Foye about the option in the game to re-draft the class.
I don't have an official number for those teams, but I have the throwbacks. Three teams in 22 minutes, that's a record right there. "Being drafted by Boston, traded to Portland, then ending up in Minnesota was nerve-racking at the time, but I'm so happy the way it turned out. "Draft day was crazy," Foye told me over a game of NBA Live 07. The Timberwolves found themselves a baller, even if he is the only rookie to have two throwback jerseys. Forget being Rookie of the Year, forget all of that talk, I just want to win as a team." Foye might not want to hear it, but if the shot-caller from Villanova keeps making clutch baskets like the runner that forced OT against the Bulls, there's no way to deny it. "I appreciate it, but to me, I know I need to go out and just play. "For real?" Foye asks like it's the first he's heard of it. That's why those words just kept slipping from my lips. The type of versatile guard the T-Wolves and K.G.
The type of explosive scorer who can create his own shot in the lane, get to the rim in traffic and finish. Randy Foye has the kind of game that can make an immediate impact in the Association. Don't put that pressure on me."īut I can't help it. Leave that to Rudy Gay or Adam (Morrison). "Oh man, don't say that," he says with a nervous grin. Bring up the words Rookie of the Year to Randy Foye, and it looks like the kid wants to sprint the other direction.
