New '08-09 dynasty
Fri Jan 16, 2009 6:04 am
Hello forum! I've done a few dynasties in the past but tend to either (a) get bored by easily winning or 
getting impatient with such an awful team that I skip ahead to the next season and then problem (a) rears up. I've two things to consider and wanted to get some feedback while I wait for a new hard drive for my computer:
1) should I use NBA Live 07 or 08? I've been playing on 08 so long (as I couldn't find 07) that I forget if the difference in gameplay is really that large.
2) Which team should I use? I'm looking for a fringe playoff team that could realistically compete though certainly would be considered an underdog and lack an absolute dynamo of a player (i.e. Kobe, Wade, LeBron).
Teams I've been considering:
i) Toronto - aside from Bosh, don't have too much going on. Fun reserves in Humphries and Ukic.
ii) Clippers - Nice starting rotation but injuries would decimate the team. No bench whatsoever.
iii) Golden State - Fun run 'n' gun team with plenty of talented shooters.
iv) Milwaukee - good shooter in Redd (who I'd consider trading away) and nice role players at just about all positions.
v) Washington (without Arenas) - they certainly wouldn't be as bad as they are doing in real life but with Caron and Antawn have some firepower.
vi) New York - a fun roster that isn't performing too poorly.
Look forward to hearing from you all. With all luck I'll be getting my new hard drive this/next week.

I'd say either Toronto or Milwaukee.
Toronto have O'Neill and Bosh, plus some decent players in Andrea Bargnani, Anthony Parker, Jason Kapono etc.
I like Milwaukee too because of Redd and Jefferson.
But teams also have an Aussie on them
are you using updated rosters?

If it's more realistic stats you're after, then I'd suggest NBA Live 07. NBA Live 07 patched is less of a frustrating experience than NBA Live 08 in my opinion.
