NBA Live 2004 Tournament - anyone? Ideas?

[Tuomas]

Since this years Live isn't that great (yet, before SUM) and there has been some activity on the older games, I thought of this idea : would there be interest for a NBA Live 2004 mini-tournament? I would be willing to organize and run the thingy.

As for this topic; only say if your interested, this is not a signup thread, I will make one later if necessary. In this thread I thought people could express their interest and throw in possible ideas for the possible tournament.

Here are my ideas so far:
Shorts online games, maybe 5-6 min quarters, single game elimination play-off style, maybe longer series in the end.

I could make the rosters to use for this thing and we could add some other necessary files, like AIACT and sliders.

So, any interest?

[nooormal]

I am interested

[JaoSming]

I would participate.

[3P]

I would join too.

[Air Zoom Kobe I]

I'm interested as well

[Tuomas]

Well we need more than 5 8would be a minimum to make it interesting, so let's wait a while.

[Anti4]

Im Joing Too!

[chuckles1991]

Sounds like a great idea. Im in!

[Tuomas]

One more I guess...

Just scored 65 with t-mac in an OT victory over Dallas

Any ideas about the tournament format, sliders, minutes, team selection etc.? About team selection, I suggest a random team for every round, but of course you're all free to post your own

[JaoSming]

see thats a good idea, except someone might get stuck with the bobcats. Big question is default files or modified files, like the aiact, roster, ect. IMO default sliders, and roster, 5 minutes and pick w/e team you want for w/e round.

[Tuomas]

Ok... I thought of making a roster what to use, maybe silders as well since default sliders are bit off. I don't know yet whether to include the aiact as well since I've had a couple of crashes recently. Naturally everyone should have the same files.

How about that you can pick whatever team you want but you can't use the same team twice? Although I definetly wouldn't mind having a same team through the entire thing.

[chuckles1991]

Would someone set up a server for this, or would we have to do direct connect. I dont think EA supports their online thing anymore.

[Tuomas]

Direct ip connect I guess is the only way. Unless we want to do a sim tournament

[nooormal]

so is this happening or not

[Tuomas]

Well we have seven people ready, I dunno... if we do make it happen we're gonna have to make it not a playoff format, something else.

[JaoSming]

hm round robin with 4 player playoff?

[H Rock]

If you need 8, I'll make the last person. I'm experienced in this kind of thing.

[Tuomas]

Great now we have eight players Let's begin. Throw more ideas if you have them, I'll look up to this again in the evening.

[Patr1ck]

Use Andrew's sliders. You could also use Seushiro's aiact.

[Seushiro]

I have just uploaded my bundled AIACT which has three to choose from so just use anything that you want for the tourney. . . I also suggest Andrew's sliders. . . the only thing you guys should talk about here is who's roster file will you use as a base and put in the original.dbf to play online. . . Gud luck guys

[Tuomas]

Yep, I'll test those aiacts and suggets everyone to do the same. I guess Andrew's sliders are the way to go. Rosters, anyone?

[harmonator84]

Hey guys, I am new to all this but would really like to join in on this tournament. What do we need to do to get this ball rolling!

[hammertime23]

Yeah I got this game again so I'm down for a tourney.

[Tuomas]

I'm really busy this week also. So if someone else wants to take over the organization, feel free to do it.

[harmonator84]

How are we able to do it with the server being down though?
