Which team will you choose in Dynasty Mode?

[Andrew]

And what trades will you make?

I generally choose the Bulls in Dynasty Mode as they're my favourite team, and I expect I'll do the same when NBA Live '10 comes out and a couple of NBA Live 365 updates have been released to bring the game up to date. As to what transactions I'll make, it depends what happens this offseason with Ben Gordon as I might try and bring him back even if the real Bulls do not. His departure would also leave the Bulls with one fewer player with decent trade value in the game. It's always tempting to trade for one of the top rookies too but I think I'll leave Blake Griffin alone; I like to create my own "reality" with Dynasty Mode but I'm a bit particular about not messing up the league too much. I'm thinking I might trade for Patrick Mills though so that I can have another young point guard coming off the bench.

I would probaly chose my favorite team the Cavs.. Trades I would make hmmmmm i'm not sure I would need to make any trades since I was going to trade for O'neal if the Cavs didnt but since they have idk..I would probably wait for the free agent class of 2010 and try to sign a Chris Bosh to go with LeBron James(i'm never letting the king go ) and probably sign Shaq to a 2 year deal to keep the King winning championships because sorry to bust your bubble to all you Lakers, Magics, Celtics, Spurs, Rockets, and the enitre rest of the league fans because the Cavs are taking it home this year

[Andrew]

Yeah, you've got a bit of a ready made Dynasty team already with the Cavs thanks to the Shaq trade.

[JaoSming]

I'll do the Celtics, same as this year and the year before that, and the year before that, and the year before that......and so on

For dynasties I dominate a year or two, then trade off/dont resign the big three and let the real fun begin.

[Sauru]

like always i will go with the celts, keep the core for season 1 then probably make endless trades in season 2 where i keep my 1-2 core guys til they retire. only trade i will make in season 1 will be for a draft pick or a rookie who will be my 1 player that stays with the team no matter how good/bad they are

[JaoSming]

its sad, even though the celtics are good now, whenever I play with them I always want to "rebuild"

[wabenne]

I'm definetly going with the Cavs. Plus they have so much trade value. I'm going after both rookies Blake Griffen and Brandon Jennings from Mil. I will probably be willing to give up Anderson V or Z along with Boobie Gibson or Wally for Griffen, then I'll try west for brandon Jennings or maybe another combination of those two.

I wouldn't mind a lineup of Mo, West, Lebron, Griffen and Shaq or Brandon Jennings, Mo, Bron, Griffen, Shaq, if I loose Z and V i'll try to pick up a PF and C in free agency like Rasheed Wallace

[dascoot]

I always try to pick one of the worst teams in the league and build from them. I haven't even got to play Live 09 yet since I've just gotten a 360. I play more video games in the winter so it ought to be fun. in 09 i was going to be memphis. 2010 is going to be strange becasue i usually go with an eastern team (who was an underdog which i was considering NY, MIL, IND or NJ) I was seattle in 05, charlotte in 06, minnesota in 07 and philly in 08, planning to be memphis on 09,. in 2010 of the four NY, MIL or NJ who has more cap? why i ask is I'm going to see if I can try and get either Lebron, Bosh or Wade. In MIL if i got Lebron it would be neat to see a Bogut, Lebron and Redd lineup. Indiana would be interesting too if I had the cap to possibly sign Wade. a lineup of Hansbrough, Granger and Wade would be neat too. So what underdog eastern team do you think i should select in NBA Live 2010

I think the temptation to get players that you like from other teams and scuplt the team yourself is too great not to indulge in a bit of rebuilding/retooling...especially when you have a good team that already has players with high trade value, since you can change the face of the franchise and keep winning.

[dascoot]

so of the teams NY, NJ, MIL or IND who has the most cap? I might even go TOR but am not sure yet.

[Andrew]

Depending on what the salary cap is set at this year, as it currently stands only Indiana and New Jersey would have cap room but I would suggest that will change by the end of the offseason.

[[X]-Factor]

I'll probably try the Twolves and the Mavs

The Twolves are a new team and I wanna see how can I run them.
I'd probably try to find a better SF and maybe a SG too.

Mavs are my favorite team, I hope that, if they don't keep Kidd, they bring some valuable players for him...
Nowitzki will be down on stats this version, so I'll probably try to bring Love or even Marc Gasol to begin growing a substitute.

[Modifly]

If I could play Live 10..

Houston Rockets ftw!! I would keep the rosters the same because I love it so much, but I will sign a decent center to back Yao up.

that is, if Yao is kept...

Fixed.

[kibaxx7]

Miami, Orlando and San Antonio (OR the team Ginobili ends up playing for)

[Andrew]

(OR the team Ginobili ends up playing for)

Well, that could be anyone in Live if you make it happen.

[Mayerhendrix]

I'm going to actually give the Trailblazers, Clippers, or Thunder a shot. All of those teams have talented youth cores that could become good over the next couple of years, and it will be interesting to see how those players develop. If I could swing a year where Oden, Roy, Aldridge, and Bayless all make the ASG, now that would be a feat.

The Blazers already became good. And it could be argued that the Thunder did too, over the last part of the season.

Erm, I still don't know if it will be Live or 2k ( ), but whichever game happens to be spinning in my XBOX, I've decided to go with the Nets.

[PrinceDassyFresh]

I usually go through the draft before entering a franshise mode, it makes it that much more interesting and you discover new talent, i never knew who breven Knight wa suntil i picked him in a draft a few game sback, he is gold defensivly. Damon Jones is anothe rfavorite of mine that i discovered in the draft.

I usually take the Magic, cuz the way i manage to win thes egame sis by pure magic lol

[Andrew]

As to what transactions I'll make, it depends what happens this offseason with Ben Gordon as I might try and bring him back even if the real Bulls do not.

That one might be tough. Thanks heaps, Pax.

[Its_asdf]

I'd like to say Toronto, but I'd love to help a Devin Harris-led Nets team into playoff contention. I'm always a fan of young, rebuilding teams and New Jersey has finally committed to that now with Vince gone.

[Arcane]

My main Dynasty will be Miami but if short season like 29 games return I'll do a Portland Charlotte and New Orleans Dynasty

[AMenace]

DETROIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

No, seriously, I would choose the rockets, because I would like to try and rebuild them. First step is trading yao for howard, which I have done in 2k9, then get rid of T-Mac, and go from there.

Will you still choose the Bulls team to play in Dynasty mode since Gordon's move is more or less confirmed?
