X's Bucks Dynasty *WHAT COULD HAVE BEEN*

[The X]

X's BUCKS DYNASTY

Hey all,

I started a little Bucks' Association yesterday and I thought one or two of you might be interested so thought I might post updates here every now & then. Let me just say off the bat my updates in this thread will be sporadic but such is my real life commitments (work, study, family etc). First thing I'll say is don't expect the World from this Association. This is me merely keeping a record of my Association progress through the seasons. I hope I don't disappoint some guys who expect a Sit-level dynasty as you can't create them, as the truth is much like legends, great dynasties are just born (see what I did there Will? )

I'm doing something a little different this time. I'm using 2k's crappy Association blog service as it will allow me to get my team's stats and standings up-to-date with minimal effort. I'll probably use 2k to get any pics I want to take get uploaded direct from my PS3. I figure I'll do any game recaps (if I feel in the mood) over there. This can be a discussion/spam thread with content included. Random I know.

You can find the blog here:

Maybe one of you "fine" photoshop guys can make me a quality Bucks' signature. I see quality in Lamrock's sig


A quick Q & A to answer your qualms & do my best to not inflate the thread post count so the season starts before the 3rd page:

Q: Why did I pick the Bucks?
A: I like Bogut. I'm glad Jennings' play has plateaued so I don't feel that I have to make him the star. They're a bit shite. They have a chance to over-achieve. They play in a city that is known more for beer than much else. That 70's Show. I once got drunk due to Joe Alexander's "freakish athleticism" & he needs to make up for it on the court. Alcindor. Big O. They are long overdue for another championship. I only have 25 years to make it happen

Q: Will you win more than 20 games your first season?
A: Probably not. But then again, I'm only playing 29 game seasons

Q: You should fully make Jennings a star?
A: No

Q: Are you going to have fully sick drafts?
A: Probably. I hear John Wall is good, but I like Evan Turner, cracked back & all.

Q: What system are you playing on? Specs?
A: PS3. Playing 10-11 minute quarters, sim 12 minute quarter. Using Playmakers sliders (on Pro to start with, graduate to higher levels once Pro too easy) but adjusted to increase injuries & suit my playing style. 29 game season, playoff format 3-3-3-5.

Q: Are you going to play all your games?
A: No. It's not humanly possible to get through 29 game seasons by playing every single game. Therefore I will play 50%, sim 50%. I will alternate. First game played, second game simmed.

Q: But what if you make the playoffs? Will you play all your games?
A: No. Per above, play, sim, play, sim etc. If it means I make the playoffs in my first season then my 1st Round matchup will be sim, play, sim. Scary I know, but such is life. Only allowance I'll give myself is if it comes to game 5 of NBA Finals then I think I owe it to myself to play it

Q: Any NLSC Draftees?
A: For the most part no as I have downloaded DaRebirth's 2010-2013 draft classes. Although if I so choose, I'll throw some in here & there (maximum 3 per class). Don't worry about asking though.

Q: Any prediction games?
A: No, they are timely & I don't think they add to the dynasty as a whole. Feel free to make predictions though

Q: Any shoutouts in advance?
A: Okay, but only because you asked, but this is the first & only time they'll happen. Sit because deep down we all love Durant. Lamrock because he's young & old school at the same time. To Mark for making a short comeback cameo in the dynasty/association sections. To Honor Glow (where are you now?) for his Live GMC project & his outstanding Live '04 Lakers' legacy, because that's what is was. To cocobee for being the reason I joined the NLSC. To Jing for being one of the original Bobcats' dynasty supporters. To every other NLSC dynasty head for being dynasty heads.

Okay, enjoy all & don't take yourself too seriously, I'm just taking the piss a little

Good to see you start this. Although I don't have high hopes for this lasting too long.

You're as competitive as I am, maybe what I said will make you update more often than once a fortnight!

And love the intended pun. You forgot my trademark one though, 'where there is a will, the is a way' Make sure you include that one one day.

EDIT: That 2K10 blogsite thing is really cool

EDIT: That 2K10 blogsite thing is really cool

I'm surprised nobody else has used it. Guess I have to pioneer its use. Shame it doesn't upload boxscore for opposition team or give even more customisation. I can see them adding that in the future though.

Thank me later.

It seems I've worked out why nobody uses the 2k blog option. Reason being is that it's just as buggy as the game

There seems to be a Brandon Jennings' stats bug where it doesn't like to post stats of any of his mediocre games to the blog (if you look at player stats you'll note he's got one game play instead of two games). There doesn't seem to be any way of fixing this (blog needs a lot more customisation before many people will use it), but doesn't really matter. I was only using it for ease of update of game boxscores & blogs. No biggie.

Glad you didn't pick Portland Any early plans for Delfino?

The X is back with a dynasty! hopefully this would last

Loving the sig that Sit made, use it!

Good luck with this one. Good to see you back doin a D.

The best dynasty maker with the best team.

Good luck! Jennings for MVP.

Sweet, an X dynasty! Even if it isn't as extravagant or frequently updated as your Bobcats or Blazers, it will still be good because your dynasties have heart.

Use my sig.

Also put me in this story. You know how I'm like on the court.

nice sig Sit! ...good luck on this, another hall of fame in the making ...

NIce another X's Dynasty I only read your bobcats dynasty but I think this will be great, good luck with this
maybe you should try to request TheDee for sig's

It's Ok I Durantula can't harm me he no guts to do that

Nice X, good to see one of yours to follow, those bugs are annoying with the blog, would be quite a handy feature to use.

Glad you didn't pick Portland Any early plans for Delfino?

I could never go Portland. They were just too good. Bucks just aren't very good. IRL they have over-achieved & haven't had the toughest schedule to date.

As for Delfino, he's my starting SF at present. I've always liked him so plan on keeping him around. I figure eventually he'll move back to a 6th-8th man role when I upgrade the SF position.

Loving the sig that Sit made, use it!

I will do my best to keep this one going. It was a very deliberate move on my part to only play 29 games so I've got a chance to get through the seasons.

Good luck with this one. Good to see you back doin a D.

Cheer mate.

The best dynasty maker with the best team.

Good luck! Jennings for MVP.

Don't know about the things you said but will take it as a compliment.

As for Jennings, I thought you might ask about him. He's just a rook, you can't expect MVP play out of a rookie. He's gotta be a chance for ROY though Although by the looks of it Tyreke Evans has started strongly also.

Sweet, an X dynasty! Even if it isn't as extravagant or frequently updated as your Bobcats or Blazers, it will still be good because your dynasties have heart.

Well it's clear I can't match up to the presentation, graphics or even storyline of any of the other top notch dynasties around here, so heart it will have to be

Use my sig.

Also put me in this story. You know how I'm like on the court.

Tried to use your sig, but it is 9 pixels too big

nice sig Sit! ...good luck on this, another hall of fame in the making ...

Cheers. If it ever came to that, which I doubt, it'd have to be on merit & not name.

NIce another X's Dynasty I only read your bobcats dynasty but I think this will be great, good luck with this

Thanks for the advice but I don't need any fancy sig. Check out my old Blazers' one if you wish. Technically it was better, but probably didn't have as much heart & soul.

Nice X, good to see one of yours to follow, those bugs are annoying with the blog, would be quite a handy feature to use.

I think you starting a thread was the last straw & I bit the bullet. It's like the oldies coming out of retirement (Favre, etc).

As for the blog bugs, we shall see if it is an ongoing problem. I have a feeling when I do the next upload that it'll fix itself. Well, at least that's what I hope.

Oh and actually I am using those score tables for my dynasty and I will also use the standings for my November recap. Did not know there were bugs, but I definitely like the feature.
2k is really great in terms of presenting a dynasty as you can upload pictures and replays decently. Sucks that there is no "complete" boxscore though, as I have to take ugly pics with my cam then.
