[08 Sonics] A New Beginning: HUGE Monthly Recap (Part 1)

[Chaser7]

I mean the Headshots for the big recaps!!! lol wow, top 3 players for the top 3 games is what I mean. Hope this is clear enough, I don't think anyone is on the forum right now either.

[Lamrock]

OH! The Big recaps. Now I understand. Okay, I'll do that soon. Thanks for clearing it up.

[Chaser7]

Yea the small recaps are fine.

Anyways good luck, and can't wait for next update!

Coach Carlesimo has gone a whole month with the team without being choked by one of his players.

frekkin' hilarious! man, you should bring Spree into the picture as an assistant coach - that'd be classic! not to mention ironic...

one thing i miss are the boxscores for each game but i know you mentioned being limited by inability to capture graphics. it'd be insane to sit there and copy all stats for all players for each game; but maybe a compromise? maybe include just the team 'TOTAL' stats (bottom line of boxscores) somewhere so we could see how teams stacked up against each other? it'd take a little more effort but more meat to give stat junkies like me a little more to savor; only an idea/suggestion and by all means not necessary; it is your dynasty afterall

anyway, i dig this young underdog squad and nice job w/this so far given the limitations

[Lamrock]

Clutch, Thanks for stopping by! Glad to see you catch that! Too bad you didn't get to guess the top 3 scorers.

Yeah, it sucks about the boxscores. I really tried hard this time to get pics of them, but failed. The team stats is an interesting idea, and while I won't guarantee it, I will certainly consider it. And I don't really consider playing on a console a complete disability. The Sim intervene system, gameplay, graphics and sim engine are all better. This just requires a bit of creativity. Thanks for your support and ideas!

The second segment of the recap will almost certainly be up tonight (would be up by now, but I just rented The Orange Box), and this will have team, player and league stats. Keep following!

One last thing: My second 2K7 Association (and the longest running) was a Blazers Association. I just sort of forgot about it until now. I finally included a brief update of the Finals, and so now it is complete. I also updated the spelling and logos for the playoff games. For those wanting to check out the final update, or want to read it from the beginning (It isn't the strongest dynasty, but it is at least a fun, albeit unrealistic ride), check it here.

hahah i never said the console was a 'disability' per se., more just a slight inconvenience as opposed to the 'print screen' button of a PC

but thinking about it, couldn't you just capture the vid through a vid camera hooked directly to the tv? if i remember correct, i have a sony handicam that did just that - cables plugged directly into the 'output' and i was able to grab vid feed; then from there grab images on a frame-by-frame basis; anyone ripping images might want to look into that 'cause i think if i were playing on console, that's a direction i'd explore to capture graphics for sure

oh and i forgot, my guess - Durant, Ridnour & Green?

[The X]

I'd like to see Jeff Green start on bench, maybe get Collison in starting lineup, maybe also get Damien Wilkins or someone in at SG....at least you got Durant at SF though

solid start at 6-11, better than real life version....

so how's Live '08 on 360 going for you? I'm not getting an NBA title this year, I'm just waiting for College Hoops 2k8 to arrive....

[Lamrock]

Clutch, Good idea with the camera. Now if only I had one.

The X, Yes! The legendary X has checked my dynasty. If Sit comes here too, I'll have both of my favorite dynasty-ers check this topic!

I like Green starting at PF. I see him as a Lamar Odom-type player, small lineups are all the rage, and since this will be a losing season, I might as well put as many young'ins in my lineup as possible. And I'm 6-11 now, but the Sonics are starting to win. They are better than Miami & Minnesota, and have won 3 of last 4.

Live 08 has its problems, but I'm very satisfied with it. Definitely as good as Live 2005, and I love the new Sim Intervene option. I would actually recommend it as the basketball game to get this year, although you can't go wrong with 2K8.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Okay, I promised an update a couple days ago, but it didn't work out. I'll have one up tomorrow for your guys,

[Mark.]

Looking good dude, Id like to have a go at the Sonics sometime in the future, its a pretty attractive lineup. Bring Gelabale into the starting 12, youve got a quite a few big men IMO and Mickale should bring some more athleticism to the wings (not like your lacking or anything though.

[Pistol]

Hey Lamrock if you want smaller logos for your teams yahoo also has smaller logos...just goto team page and to thr right of the page it shows individual leaders...above that is a smaller logo... for example I will show you a big one compared to small one below...P.s. this looks great...my guesses are (lets mix it up) Durant, Wally Szerb, and Ridnour



EDIT: Also here is another small one...I got these from -km- Wizards dynasty...I use them on mine...

[Lamrock]

Damn, I still haven't posted another update, have I?

I don't want to contradict myself again, but I'll have another update up in the next couple of weeks. I got a Zune, 2 games, and other things though for X-Mas, so it may be a while.
