NBA Franchise - NBA Live Sim League - Spots available....

I'm interested in making a franchise site with 28 other GM's. What i have been thinking is a Sim league where all games a simmed, about a nba live season month a week. So itll take about 6 weeks to complete a season. and about 150 weeks to complete a 25 year franchise

GM's will be able o do everthing you do when running an NBA Live franchise, except for play the actual games.

But i need some people to show interest - about 28 or so

Let us know if you got any ideas or what to contribute.

Non-fiction? If so, I'll take Suns.

I think it's a good idea...but it's not like there aren't games like this already going...there are lots.

yeah i know there is plenty of leagues going, but all the good ones have waiting lists and all the others are done so half assed there not worth the effort....

Thats one thing i'm trying to think of - something to make this one stand above the rest....

How about a nifty moto? "We stand out above the rest"

I think it's the HTML work and organization that stands out above the rest.

Well thats one area i am pretty sure of what i am doin..... on a good day.

Maybe the motto is the difference between success and failure.

i'd be keen

you gonna have it on original rosters or have a draft???

either way i don't mind

yeah sounds like a good idea, so we will have to make a site for or team?

maybe 1 month simulated per week is too quick... what happens if u propose a trade with another gm and he takes 3 days to respond??? you could miss the trade deadline or something!

but anyways count me in

I have no idea how this would work but give me the Wizards!

Well, i've been thinking more about how this can be done, and what i have come up with is just some guidlines.

I decided a month a week is probally to fast - (as was pointed out by w00kle ) so what i'm thinking is that each team has a week and a half to submit for the following month to proceed. But in the case of the tradedead line, the league will have a break period of a week to finalise final trades.

At the moment I am undecided about whether to have draft to start the season, or to use orignal rosters. but i'll let you guys decide that.

An idea i like that is used at NLL is that the gm's earn points during the season for completing tasks such as winning certain games, maintaining a team site and losing points for not submitting your team on time. These points then come into play when resigning a player etc.

And other things to add to it are pretty much things we wished were in NBA Live 2003 Franchise mode - trading draftpicks, monthly awards etc

If you have anything you want to add, just drop a line.

yeh count me in.. ill go with my big team of LA CLIPPERS!!!!!!!!

sounds like deal to me!!
im bagsing orlando or seattle or wait milwaukee
i mite need some help on making a team site for a start tho aye

Well here is who has expressed some kind of interest so far....

match_66 - magic or seattle or milwaukee (or all 3 )
bballer22 - clippers
mjforever - wizards
nick - suns
w00kle -
soul glo - spurs or pacers

we kind of need a few more to make it worth while doing.

But here is a quick look at the sites layout that i have done so far.

Preview

I would be interested as well, I'd go with Chicago just to do the hometown thing...

William

count me in whit my sixers

I'd be intersted if Match_66 is willing to part with the Supersonics

i'll take the pistons or the t-wolves

Hey...I wud be interested too....but i cant make a site tha's the prob see...if anyone cud gimme sum help with this...i wud like the Lakers....so write me up fer it too

yeah man im sweet wit parting wit the sonics

is anyone willing to help make a team site tho cos im ignorant of that

Well interest is starting to pick up

With team sites. Do people want me to make a simple standard format, so all you have to do is update it? Or does someone want to do this for me?

Yeah, the first option sounds good - I'm not very website-creation-saavy so anything to make it more "GM-friendly" would be appreciated!

Yeps..i like Soul Glo's template..it gives u a real NBA.com feeling....I like it...where all i have to do is update it...less work fer me

yeah i like the idea of a template that you create then we update and maybe add to them that way all the sites will be similar but still diff at the same time, i think ill stick with orlando

well. seeing tho i had nothing to do all day, i went and made a site for every team.... took a lil longer then i expected.

But have a look.

the address is http://nbafranchise.tripod.com/team-name-in-here/index.htm

as in http://nbafranchise.tripod.com/cavaliers/index.htm[/url][/b]

The pages a very bare, but once people start making them their own it should look good

And i am looking at a server that doesn't display ads.

cheers

the kings would suit me... bring 'em on.!
