Anyone that knows me would know that even the idea of me playing a sports game is crazy. I don't care for them. I don't care for sports. However, after talking at length with a friend at work about this game in particular he insisted that its DnD for jocks. My mission? To dive headfirst into the game, playing My Career, and see what the fuss is. The fun? I know nothing about basketball. I know the ball is orange, and I know it goes in the hoop. I know what dribbling is, and traveling, but outside of that it's a foreign language.
So who is Leroy Jenkins? That is my player. I created Jenkins as a tribute to the legendary Leeroy Jenkins. Look it up if you must. I thought it a fitting name to the worst player in the league, with a lot of heart.
So, the first step on this journey? I played for the Utah Jazz. I liked the name. I've never been to Utah. So they were it. That and they had the lowest expectations for signing. Apparently they are desperate. Totally a fit for me. So game one is against the Celtics. I've heard of them. So we begin.
I played hardly at all. I did put 6 points on the board for the little bit I was out there. I also managed a B-! I think that's good. I don't understand why there are constant fouls against my team. Even the ones i'm not playing. Is the Jazz that aggressive? Also, the square button will help you defend, but will also shoot the ball. Mashing it doesn't work when you get passed the ball and then launch it across the entire court and, of course, miss the hoop.
I only did that three times. Check me out talent scouts!
Anyhow I will drop in here to update on Leroy's status in the league. Should be a fun ride. If nothing else its uncharted territory and I like to explore.
