Pity no Aussie team representing, but I'm sure someone will add them and Lithuania and the like further down the line.

Marcelo Machado (Marcelinho) very good player... he play in Lithunia Kauno zalgiris last season...and he Brazil NT leader...

why don't they just add 20 (or unlimited) empty spaces for international teams
then in no time we'd have euroleague and national team mods

They addressed the small selection of international teams in the latest producer blog. The license was signed late but they wanted to give everyone a preview of things to come rather than waiting until NBA Live 09, hence the inclusion of World Championship mode and eight of the teams from the 2006 World Championship.

Yes I hope euroleague teams to be in the game next year. Not only National and NBA teams.

However for the Euroleague licenses, they must sign a deal with Uleb and local championships...

I suppose if they sign an agreement we might see Euroleague teams, but I think there's a greater chance of seeing more international teams in NBA Live 09 than any Euroleague teams.

I guarantee the court will be an NBA court, as on the screenshots posted. LOL! Then people can always say "Oh this is just the first time, be happy they included FIBA, and next year they will make it better." LOL!!

It remains to be seen whether the court will be fixed in future games but it would seem as though the current plan is to add more international teams beginning with NBA Live 09.

I don't think it's part of the Dynasty calendar of events.
