[NNpF]

As many people have already said, I hate the Lakers. But this is looking to be a great dynasty. It is presented well, good luck.

Thanks and thanks.

[LegoTP]

I don't like Lakers but this dynasty looks good.

[renegade]

i dont really like the lakers, but i gotta admit the way this dynasty is being presented it looks like its gunna be a good one!

I just got Live 2005 yesterday, along with a new graphic card (I dont care what you geeks say...it works fine for me )

Game by game section updated. Open Scrimmage with pictures and short recap. (Scroll up to the game by game section to see!!!)

ooh god, this is beautiful. everything is so clear and organized

[-BHZMAFIA-]

Nice update with the "open practice summary". That was a real creative idea and I wish I would've thought of that

[Alcoholic]

This is going to be a lot of work man. It pressures me to make my dynasty with as much detail too. Good luck.

exactly, nice touch bro!

Nice update dude, i'm gonna enjoy this one. Have you got lighting on or off, i assume on, because you can get rid of the glow around the players, apparently, if you turn off the lighting in detail settings.

I love the pics..but I have a question...how did you play the practice/pre-season games!

I have live05 since its release on PS2! and I cant figure out how to play them...if you can?

Yeah I have lighting on.

I just played a exhibition game with practice jerseys, and made sure that there wouldnt be any players double on the court.

Thanks for the kind responses, I will keep it up like this

Im not sure when the new update will be, probably untill there will be a new roster patch released.

[Hotshot]

Love those screenshots.. what're your system specs?

[.]

Thanks

2400+ AMD Athlon XP
512 MB DDR-SDRAM
Geforce FX 5200 256 mb (will probably get a Ati Radeon TX 9600 soon)

My franchise will Officially start when Andrew or Ben release a updated roster patch with improved ratings and missing players added.

[HuskiesCeltics]

This dynasty looks very sexy

Even though I hate the Lakers I will be following this.



I got to get me one of those

Edit

[Donatello]

great screenshots. very nice looking dynasty, a good read.

i really like your layout- looking forward to the new-look lakers taking on kittles and the clips!

[.]

Thanks man, I will play my first season game when Andrew updates the rosters with created players and tweaked ratings . Also, Im getting a better graphic card either tomorrow or very soon.

[.]

Due some problems, I will have a different season schedule. meaning that the game opener wont be against the Los Angeles Clippers so that preview is crap now.

Andrew better make a roster patch soon because I want to start this dynasty

Lakers (0-0) to host Nuggets (0-1) at season opener
LOS ANGELES (Ticker) -- 1 year ago when the Lakers hosted the Dallas Mavericks for their season opener, their roster looked like this: Shaquille ONeal, Karl Malone, Devean George, Kobe Bryant, Gary Payton, Derek Fisher, Horace Grant, Bryon Russell, Jannero Pargo, Kareem Rush, Slava medvedenko, Luke Walton, Brian Cook and Rick Fox.

1 Year later, 8 of those players are no longer part of the Los Angeles Lakers and 9 new players have been added to the roster: Lamar Odom, Caron Butler, Brian Grant, Chris Mihm, Jumaine Jones, Chucky Atkins, Vlade Divac, Sasha Vujacic and Tierre Brown.

The team has made some drastic changes, and are ready to show the world what they got when they play against the Denver Nuggets at Staples Center.

The Denver Nuggets surprised everyone last year when the team went from a 17-65 record in the 2002-03 season, to a 43-39 record the next year. Which was good enough for a 8th spot in the 2003 NBA Playoffs. The Nuggets led by Olympic bronze medal winner Carmelo Anthony, traded 3 future first round draftpicks to the New Jersey Nets this offseason, to bring in All-Star Forward Kenyon Martin on the teamroster. Martin avaraged 16.7 pts, 9.5 rbs and 1.26 blks in 65 games with the New Jersey Nets last season and made his first NBA All-Star Team. The Nuggets lost their season opener on Thursday against the Utah Jazz as the final score was 104-92. Kenyon Martin led 5 players in double figures with 18 points.

The Lakers have won 12 of their last 13 home openers and 15 of their last 16 home games against the Nuggets, and are looking to add another one to those numbers.
