A recap style change would possibly benefit. Since what you're doing is nothing new.
But not too many changes will matter. This is pretty good the way it is ;)

I also think that a change in recap style would somehow benefit your dynasty.. But you are doing a pretty decent job..

Skillmatic, done. :) Thanks, btw.

homicide1550, exactly what I said to Skillmatic, thanks and I have done a new recap style. ( took me years )

I will also add some news to the recap style later, like pictures. I just didn't take any pictures ( just the one you can see ) and well, I am kind a in a hurry so.. you'll see how it comes out just in like 30 seconds.

This is much better recap, it looks real nice. Ellis had an awful shooting game just like most of the team

ratrac, Thanks man. And yeah, I always get pissed off when the game doesn't go, this time I restarted the game 3 times, because of stupid things that would never happen in the game, 3 point plays and game deciding turnovers. I might play with the sliders a little bit, to make the shooting better, though.

MadNice, will do. Thanks.

homicide1550, like I said, will do. Good to see that you like it. :)

The recap style is nothing new, but it's much much better than your old one! Good job.
The acquisition of Najera is sub-par. He'll be good in the long run, but IMO you should've just brought Mason back. :P

Skillmatic, I'll keep this recap style. I'm not going to change the recap style everyday, if that's what you meant. About the Najera and Mason thing, then nah. I don't want to bring Mason back even though I like him. I wouldn't have found an excuse for that, he's gone for the season and that's that. Anyways, thanks. Stay tuned !

The new recap style looks great. Much better then your old one in my opinion.
I hope the signing of Najera will give the team a boost they need.

Duck², Thanks. Hard to get a boost without Carter actually.. I think I'll probably be under .500 for next 3 weeks, but then, 'muhaha' might come. :D

Lol, its kinda funny how you keep trying to write in the style of actual press releases and then have sentences like this: "Najera was signed for a 1 year contract, mid-level exception. Details weren't for public." Aside from the grammatical mistakes, saying that it was for the mid-level exception does indeed tell how much he is paid, haha. If you wanted to make it professional saying Najera was signed for a 1 year deal, terms of the contract per team policy, weren't announced."

Anyways nice recap style, but work on grammar to make it more pleasurable to read.

Chaser7, atleast it's funny. :D Yeah, I try to do it like a professional, though I am not one. Sorry for these stupid little mistakes, but they'll be gone after times, and I don't think it's so big problem, the dynasty is still here, but next time I'll do that.

Thanks, and it's a pleasure to get comments from you, always wanted that. Stay tuned and keep the comments coming.

PS: I also find one thing funny. I posted my game recap at the same time when you commented the signing of Eddy. ;D

Maybe you should try switching Sean Williams to SF and then try starting him instead of Eduardo Najeram for a game or two untill Carter returns. ;)

Duck², I'll think about that. I have played Williams at SF a little, didn't shine though. Game or two untill Carter returns ? :D He's out for 3 weeks, lawl. That's like.. 10 games.

MadNice, Yeah, I saw the Rookie Game, he was really good. Though, you just said on other forum: " It's NBA Live, it's different " or how did it look like. Though, I'll try to start him at SF, maybe it works out.

Williams is everything but a small forward. Krstic even is a better SF than Williams.

Williams has perhaps a 10-15 foot jumper, but that's it. Krstic has some range. About 18-20 feet jumpers.

Hoffman, Thanks. I did them with photoshop, then
Code: Select all
[url=boxscores][img]picture[/img][/url]
simple.

Martti., that's true. I might start Antoine Wright at SF too, I enjoy playing with him, he can easily hit jumpers, can dunk, not slow or nothing. + he is young. I guess I'll still try Williams at SF position. I'll also try Haislip there during the game, but that's even worse I guess.
