.:.KC Knights Dynasty.:. Simming the season.

All-Star setting
All rules on
USER shot control

I took off my minutes per quarter and slider info- as I am constantly changing both of them to find good equalibrium.

I will be playing most games, and sim interventioning the rest (I will only sim the first half, if I sim at all). I was going to have this be only on livedynasty.com cause it was going to be just a little extra dynasty, but I've decided to stick with it, so I'm posting it here.

HOW TO ENTER THE DYNASTY'S DRAFT

I will now be accepting draft applications. I am NOT requiring cyberfaces, but if you have them, I'll take them.

I would prefer the application be completed on the LiveDynasty.com forums, so that this thread doesn't get all cluttered. But if you are 100% against going over there to do it, I guess you can just go there and copy the application into a PM....but that would be just as much work

Here is the application:

Nice nice nice. Looking forward to this new dynasty. I will make sure that I adjust the font size and type and color scheme for the 2005 Birdie Tool so that you can have crisper boxscore breakdowns.

That probably made no sense to anybody else other than you....

i'm going to start this one over, with some changes to the roster. so there was a recap and more info up there- but they're gone now. i'll have the new info up tonight, i'm sure.

EDIT:

I was going to use Andrew's sliders, but they really didn't work for me. I went ahead and did some trial and error and pretty well developed my own.

added the LiveUpdate PDA, GM Rating, Roster. Everything is all set to go. I'll be playing the first game shortly

Game One @ Toronto



The 2004-2005 Magic season began tonight on the road in Toronto, versus Vince Carter and the Toronto Raptors. This was also the first game of the season for the Raptors.

First Half:

The game started with Toronto winning the tip, and Jalen Rose missing a wide-open jump shot. Dwight Howard grabbed the first rebound of his NBA career, and the Magic bolted downcourt on a beautiful fastbreak. Ben Gordon scored the first points of his tenure with the Magic, and his NBA career with a nice dunk. Things all went downhill from there for the Magic in the first half, as they were outscored 50-38.


Halftime score: Raptors 50, Magic 38

Second Half:

The 3rd quarter was a bit kinder to the Magic, as they went on a 10-1 run and outscored Toronto by four points in the quarter. Grant Hill nabbed 5 rebounds in the third quarter alone (he had 7 for the game). Cody Worley struggled to score, but grabbed 12 rebounds. Dahntay Jones only played 4 minutes off the bench, but scored 6 points, and head coach Donatello says you'll be seeing more of him as the season goes on.




The Magic had a convincing second half, with a very strong fourth quarter. In the 4th, the Magic outdid the Raptors 36-20, to go 1-0 on the season.

Coach Donatello's Player Review:

Dwight Howard- He definitely needs some training, but his rebounding this game was incredible, not bad for his first NBA game.

Cody Worley- Also was great on the boards tonight, but his difficulty putting the ball in the hoop was frustrating. I was very impressed with his blocking ability, however. 5! Very nice.

Grant Hill- What can I say? He's back to his old form. It's great to have Grant contributing on this team. 15 points, 7 rebounds, and 4 steals is amazing from a guy we figured wouldn't be on the court this year.

Ben Gordon- This guy is going to be a stud. We're a very young team, but he has shown already that he knows how to handle things in the NBA. He embarrassed the hell out of Jalen Rose, and may have taught Vince a thing or two. Look for Ben to become a real go-to guy.

Joshua Carr- Wow.....looks like we have the youngest, and possibly best, backcourt in the league. 27 points and 4 assists. Nice job....I'm thinking he should dye his hair blue for Magic pride though.

The Bench- Skita was great for us in his few minutes off the bench. If Dwight Howard or Worley continue having trouble scoring the ball, I wouldn't be surprised to see Skita's minutes increase. We didn't play Dahntay Jones much this game, but look to see much, much more of him in the future. Jones is an amazing athlete. We plan to take full advantage of that. I'm overall very pleased with the depth of our bench. Hedo is amazing, and Chris Mihm should be able to contribute some quality minutes.


Next game: Houston Rockets

keep it up, but remember u should also relax and not stress yourself out doin this...have fun with it

Damn Wormy is in your dynasty too, hes puttin himself all over the place

yeah that was a very good recap. i just hope with the time and effort you gave in your dynasty will be much appreciate by other. i hope you will continue this like my dynasty. good luck and i'l always try to make comments here.

I will be posting the BIG change to this dynasty tonight. I already played the 2nd game, and it was before the big change, so I'm not going to be posting a recap of game 2. Stay tuned.....

riveting,cant wait to see what the big thang is

yea me either

Inovation! Ain't it great! Can't wait to see this "big thing".

this is taking WAY longer than i thought it would lol.....don't know if it will be tonight or not, but i've still got a few hours left in me

il be waiting for this one!!!

Lol geez mate you've given this a bit of a build up, I'm looking forward to it.

Breaking News!!!!

We've recieved word from Orlando, Florida that a fight of enormous proportions has broken out between Ron Artest and the entire Orlando Magic crowd......the fight escalated to the point of small missle launchers being fired in the arena.....the entire TD Waterhouse center has caught fire, and burned to the ground. 17 people have been seriously injured, and 4 have died. 16 people are missing but presumed dead among the rubble. Four puppies were found alive on the scene, and damn, if they weren't cute. All the Magic and Pacers players are miraculously unharmed. Lawsuits are sure to be pending in this case very soon.

Aside from this great tragedy, sports fans must be wondering "Where will the Magic be playing their games?" Well, we already have an answer. Word from the Magic owners is that representatives from the goverment of Kansas City, Missouri have already contacted them with an offer to use their space at Hale Arena, in the heart of Kansas City. The Magic's owner wasn't so pleased with this idea, but the board of directors disagreed with him......so after hours of deliberation, the board of directors called Ron Artest and had him beat up the owner. The board then contacted Kansas City and accepted their offer.

They soon realized that the name Kansas City Magic sounds quite gay, so they contacted Kansas City's ABA team, the Kansas City Knights, and asked about a possible buy-out of the team's name and logo. The ABA team accepted, as attendance was next-to-nothing, and who cares about the ABA, anyway? David Stern, contacted by phone, approved the request to move the team, but not without a threat of calling Mr. Artest. We aren't sure why Artest seems to be cooperating with the organization so soon after burning it's arena down, but let's keep those questions to the professionals.

So, NBA fans......somehow, even though it is mere hours after the horrible fire in Orlando, the team has completely set up shop in Kansas City. Hale Arena is decked out with Knights gear, the players have their new uniforms.....and we have your exclusive preview of the new Kansas City Knights, right here on ESPN.

Kansas City mayor Kay Barnes was not reachable by phone, but has put out a press release stating that she is very pleased to have the new NBA Kansas City Knights a part of the KC Sports Tradition, which currently includes the NFL's Chiefs and MLB's Royals. The entire Kansas City area seems thrilled to have the NBA finally back in Kansas City (The current Sacramento Kings used to play in KC).....look for sellout crowds, and excellent media coverage from across the area. And the few fans of the ABA Kansas City Knights....well, you're out of luck.

How about Kansas City Ripoffs

J/k

Making a new team is quite a nice idea

The new Kansas City Knights will be playing their first game at home in KC at Hale Arena, against the Memphis Grizzlies:

Nice work!

very nice idea.....but the Kansay City Magic aint that bad

hmmm....nice job on the jerseys....tsk tsk I gotta learn howta make jerseys (at least)....cause its supposed to relatively easier compared to cyberfaces.

anyway nice job donatello, good NEW idea here

Nice idea Donatello! Should be a nice way of spicing things up for the games and your recaps a like, good thinking. Nice work on the ESPN article too.

Holy shit this freaked me out... not because I wasn't expecting it necessarily, but I had the exact same idea for the Dynasty I thought I'd start back in September (i thought I'd have an Xbox by then so I was preparing). I'd moved the Clippers to San Diego, and even made up some jersey's n stuff. Weird.

Cool change though

For anyone who's interested, here's what my San Diego Vipers jerseys look like... the stadium was only 1/2 finished though...

nice idea bro. i know its not your own idea you just copy it form someone else (just like you said in the other thread about the bluejeans hehehe) just kidding

but seriously i love it everything from logo, jersey and court though something wrong with the court logo . and i know you put a lot of work to it. hope we can see more new ideas from you.
