[The X]

Hell yeah, you're going to NZ! X will like that I guess.

Not really, but nice to see him have a NZ spin on it with Penney, Marks & Ammo (an honorary Kiwi)

Kirk Penney, now X will just have wet dreams about this story!

Don't know about that. Nice that Penney will get a chance. Hope your CAP is realistic Valor

[Fresh8]

You kids can thank me for the Penney and AMMO suggestions. As for Marks, I think he was already in Valor's plans.

Although I do not think a team in New Zealand is realistic, and you know how much of a realism freak I am, I still wish your team luck.

If you sign Patty Mills, that would make me very happy.

[Valor]

Your PG's are kinda weak!

Didn't really have much of a choice

For the draft ... you left some good players on the table if you ask me. Steve Blake, Glen Davis, Jerebko, Roddy B just to name a few. But it's a matter of taste I guess. Good job nevertheless.

I hate Glen "Cry baby that drools in games" Davis, not a big fan of Jerebko and Roddy B either...but DAMN I forgot about Steve Blake!!

Wow I just notice a star in your team, Ammo

Yup! I have a two time champ on my team!!

I haven't made him yet, but will post up a pic when I have, feel free to give suggestions then (i suck at CAP )

Thanks Sit, but slight correction - I already had Penney and AMMO in my plans before i spoke to you

If you sign Patty Mills, that would make me very happy.

Can't sign Patty Mills man, he's in Portland...and I'll be looking for defensive, pass first point guards since i have a stack of shooters already (Redick, McGrady, Penney, Yi, Ammo....)


Last call for anyone who would be interested to make me a court and jerseys
Also, any suggestions for sliders? I'm getting demolished by the Clippers and Timberwolves at Pro, turning the ball over on nearly every possession and havent been able to drive in further than the free throw line once Wide open shots are also missing even though I'm using real %...damn this game is hard to play

Team Name Request

Hey everyone, since I'm having a hard time deciding on a good name for the club, I'm gonna need your help on the matter.

Either vote for one of these names I have come up with below, or make a suggestion.

Results will be announced in the new chapter.

The List is as follows, in no particular order

New Zealand Panthers
New Zealand Lions
New Zealand Galaxy
New Zealand Ballers
New Zealand Flames
New Zealand Highlanders
New Zealand Crusaders
New Zealand Gladiators

[Martti.]

I think it should be a city just like the other 29 teams, not a country. So maybe Wellington Crusaders or Auckland Ballers.

Na, I'll keep it as New Zealand cause generally NZ teams that play in cross-nation leagues use New Zealand instead of the city/region name, like the New Zealand Warriors of the NRL and the New Zealand Breakers of the NBL (and if i have it as a city/region, I'll move them to Otago instead, I'm from Otago and a fan of our teams so having my team with the name "Auckland" will never feel right for me personally)

Thanks for the votes

[|)e8*]

Crusaders

[Fresh8]

New Zealand Brothers
New Zealand Bros
New Zealand Beached As Bros
New Zealand Crowes
New Zealand Sheep

New Zealand Sheep, SIt wins

[Fresh8]

2 votes for sheep.

You can make black and white jerseys for it too since there are white sheep and black sheep. =]

Ah man, join us and go for Sheep. It actually makes sense.

New Zealand has 13 times as many sheep as people (approximately 47.2 million sheep in the land - although possibly less than this figure by now)

13 times as many sheep as people. Wow...

New Zealand Panthers.

[Valor]

Thanks for the votes guys, a day or so before I'll announce "The Decision"

Sit, Somehow I should've know that a Sheep joke was going to come into play...I get that every time someone finds out I'm from NZ
Sheep just doesn't sound threatening at all...not exactly a name/identity you want on your team. There's not a logo that would fit either, or I would've gone with Kiwis or something

As for the jerseys, I've found a bug already with the create-a-team....the "second" colour selected for the team colour will automatically become locked in as the front-number colour, which means if I have a black and white colour theme jersey, either the home or the away colour will be camouflaged

Stupid 2K, never get things right

[Clutch]

wtf? how could you NOT be the KIWIS!?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kiwis

franchise is pretty much a misfit lot of flightless birds atm anyway!


NZK baby!

NZK!!!

NZK baby!

NZK!!!

lol I know Kiwis is the perfect name, but nothing on the 2K create-a-team resembles my beloved Kiwi in anyway....so unless someone can make the jersey and court for me, it ain't gonna work

EDIT: I've posted a request post in that section of the forum, so if anyone is willing to help I'll be going with the Kiwis If you know a good patcher who would be willing to help, please help me ask as well! Thanks!!

[Clutch]

i'd give it a shot but my limited customizing knowledge goes only so far as the 'Live' realm for now (and early version 'Live' to boot); i can imagine the Kiwi would make an awesome logo though!

Dude that would be AWESOME Colour Themes of course would be Black and White, possibly Silver as a third colour (silver fern)
I am hopeless at visual arts as it is with pen and paper, just gets worse when it's on the computer so

Thanks!!

You could just add something in front of sheeps, like Flamin Sheeps or something like that...

[Houndy]

The New Zealand Flying Kiwi's orrrrrrr....

THE NEW ZEALAND PANTHERS (Epic win)

[Fresh8]

New Zealand KillerSheep.

good work Cartar

[Lamrock]

I vote for New Zealand Lord (of the ring)s. Interesting decision making a team in New Zealand. Expecting MIP and MVP for Morrison.

whoa whoa whoooaaa!!! you misunderstood. i meant, "I'd" as in, "I would BUT" as in, "if I had all the free time & money in the world I'd help out" but that aint the case so you'll get no logo from me - sorry man!

but actually just google it and there are tons of kiwi logos:

surely one of these could work, no? I like the "Buy Kiwi Made" one with the rifle myself
