What is the first game mode you will explore?

What is the first game mode you will explore and exploit? For me it will be the dunk contest, then probably practice...maybe vice-versa. I don't know if there is any other modes than I list, so I will put other.

What about you guys?

by **Jackal** on Sun Jul 18, 2004 9:52 am

Practice, just to check out if any new stuff was added, blah blah. You know, cross overs etc.

Then, I'll see if all rosters are correct, then I'll go create myself in game, then I'll check if there is an expansion draft option. I'll do one with the Bobpussies. Drafting myself & Emeka ofcourse.

If not, I'll just add myself to the Bobcats' roster and start a franchise. I'll try and stay away from the Dunk Contest...

In game, when I'm approaching the All-Star game, I'll practice those modes from the main menu, this way I'll really want to keep playing. :cool:

dunk contest then on to the creation zone. After that I will play a game with the Lakers then I will tryout the dynasty mode.

Durr.....

Dunk Contest

by **Alcoholic** on Sun Jul 18, 2004 11:00 am

I'll mess w/ dunk contest, then I'll play an exhibition game w/ the Lakers to check out the graphics/gameplay/freestyle.

by **Sauru** on Sun Jul 18, 2004 11:24 am

even though i have said several times in other posts that the dunk contest is not what i look forward to most in 2005 i will indeed play with it first.

by **Old School Fool** on Sun Jul 18, 2004 11:57 am

Dunk Contest is OWNING everyones Minds...

I'm gonna do Dunk Contest, Roster Manangement, Edit Player (KICKS!), then Exhibiton :lol:

by **Jay-Peso** on Sun Jul 18, 2004 12:07 pm

After the Dunk Contest, you know I'll be playing the Rookie game and then the 3 point shootout. :lol:

by **Ruff Ryder** on Sun Jul 18, 2004 12:11 pm

I'm the only one that voted for practice. :oops:

Oh well, it will be just to see the new dunks and only for about 5 minutes.

by **Jay-Peso** on Sun Jul 18, 2004 12:18 pm

It's alright.

As long as you go straight to Dunk Contest right after that.

We'll forgive you :lol:

lol

by **J@3** on Sun Jul 18, 2004 12:45 pm

Anyone who said "dunk contest" is a small minded individual who is pleased by infantile things that are absolutely pointless in the scheme of anything. I'll go to Options first.... or... nah, options.

by **Alcoholic** on Sun Jul 18, 2004 1:01 pm

Yeah but, you can't help getting a brand new game and not explore one of the most worked on things in the game?

Yes you can, it's simple. Just select another mode, et voila.

by **GordonBulls** on Sun Jul 18, 2004 1:27 pm

i will look around for awhile, then goto practice, then dunk contest, then a quick 1 min preview of the game, then i MIGHT make myself, then i will do a dynasty with the bobcats or the lakers, (only the lakers cuz i like kobe)

or i might release kobe and put him on the clippers :lol:

by **Andre** on Sun Jul 18, 2004 3:53 pm

Dynasty, defenitly. I wanna see what's this new FA logic to manage contracts. Also I want to see any other cool options added to the dynasty mode. I will not start a dynasty...just messing around.

Then creation zone

Then dunk contest.

Then I'll play some exhibition games to test different teams.

Then I'll finally start a dynasty. :lol:

Yeah, but your mind will kill you because you'll never know for as long as you live the experience it is to play that never-played game mode. :lol:

by **Nick** on Sun Jul 18, 2004 4:59 pm

Heh.

Well, i would probably cruise around the menus, looking at options and the rosters... then i would play 1-on-1 or practice to see how the players play... then i would play a game... then the next day i'd get into dynasty and maybe give dunk contest a crack... although i'd rather save dunk contest to be a suprise in my dynasty (or franchise... or whatever it's called this year)

BTW, what's creation zone?

sounds interesting! (I really should get in touch with my live05 news... i've been a bit inactive lately hey.)

by **Alcoholic** on Sun Jul 18, 2004 5:01 pm

I think creation zone is the CAP mode, just better. Make good loooking players and such.

Bluesky · by **Andrew** on Sun Jul 18, 2004 6:30 pm

I'll probably look through all the menus, try out the practice mode to get an idea of the new moves, then run through the dunk contest and three point shootout, an exhibition game then I'll explore Dynasty Mode, though not necessarily in that order.

by **cklitsie** on Sun Jul 18, 2004 8:13 pm

im gonna play a exhibition game and then im gonna try to patch

Bluesky · by **Andrew** on Sun Jul 18, 2004 8:19 pm

Actually, I'll probably fall victim to that urge as well. I'll probably start work on my current roster update in between trying out all the new features and starting a Dynasty.

by DB on Sun Jul 18, 2004 8:22 pm

i always start with practice.

by **Child-Of-God** on Sun Jul 18, 2004 10:33 pm

1.Practice-Get to know the new moves, Freestyle etc

2.1-1 Mode..Use the moves against the comp

3.Exhibtion Game-Ill mess around with in a few exhibition games...

4.Roster Checks-I ALWAYS edit the players...

5.Start a dynasty Mode...

by **Jackal** on Mon Jul 19, 2004 12:12 am

You can create a custom team in creation zone, I think arena's too, but that would be guessing.

by **Sauru** on Mon Jul 19, 2004 1:07 am

"Dynasty, defenitly. I wanna see what's this new FA logic to manage contracts. Also I want to see any other cool options added to the dynasty mode. I will not start a dynasty...just messing around"

i will probably do this pretty soon after getting the game open myself. i will sim the first season, while trying to trade for draft picks along the way just to see if they fixed that. then i will play with this new offseason and see how it is. then i will probably start my franchise for real soon after all this.
