Yeap, exams might get in the way but ill get updates flowing more frequently

Nice Asst. Head Coach.

Yeah I decided that was the most important position to fill

Very nice signings, given me ideas for when I do it

What was this League show/movie you were talking about before?? Sounds...interesting!

I was talking about the Rugby League, Tri Nations test Aussie vs New Zealand, you beat us 30-18 anyway

Nice you got th game now

I like your approach.. Who cares about a good trainer haha

Yeah who needs a trainer, if my players get injured its their own fault

[-BHZMAFIA-]

You got some good staff pickups with the exception of the trainer

Cheers dude, good to see you hanging around the Dynasty section again. Yeah I want to keep this one going, will be good to stay with the Magic for multiple seasons. Are we gonna see one from you this year?

I might not have one with Live, but whenever I get my 360, I plan on doing one with 2K7. I've kinda lost love for Live.

This dynasty looks well done Mark. I like the banners

Yeah the trainer sucks, but it gives me time to give the bench players more time if the starters get injured.

Yeah I dont blame you, If I had a 360 id play 2k7, hit me up if you need anything made for the Dynasty if you do one

This dynasty looks well done Mark. I like the banners

Thanks mate, ill hopefully have another update soon[/quote]

[Fresh8]

Hey Mark, you got great staff

Hope you get that Wiz game up soon

[The X]

good to see this one rolling....are you going to wait for EA's patch before starting it?!?

as for me, I get 2k7 for 360 on Friday (if it's released on time) & will probably get a Bobcats' multiplayer Association going on in Other Games sometime after....

Well ive already started, hopefully the patch doesnt mean I have to restart the Dynasty, but I got sick of waiting so its too late now.

Multiplayer Dynasty? Who with? It sounds good

Multiplayer Dynasty? Who with? It sounds good

my older brother, my older sister (who is pretty solid at 2k6) & her boyfriend....the advantage with the VIP system in 2k series, is when they are not around, I can play their team by loading up their VIP gaming profile....if I do the Association, it'll be mostly based on my team, & probably have small, minor updates on other teams that others control....

good luck with Magic, make sure Travis Diener gets some PT

Starters




Rotation


Everytime I make a roster change, I will post the updated versions of these.

Im a bit annoyed that there is no normal re-order roster option as well,
but anyway this is the rotation that the Magic will be using this year.
I'm planning to let Redick and Bogans split time at the SG position, but when I play it will be more situational.


Possible Changes on the Horizon:

We are in desperate need of a defensive wingman, Hill has the skills but he only has a few more years in him, possibly even one.
So im looking for someone who can defend the top 2 guards in the League.

[Zoom]

no normal re-order roster option

- If you go into assign Starting/Playign time, click on recommended... thats like re-ordering rosters I believe

[Mark.]

Yeah I know what your talking about, what im saying is I would like to have the option to reorder the roster manually like last year, just so the players are in a nice order

[Zoom]

Oh I see!

Yeah, they have the roster for the IR list... Don't know why we can't have that for a whole roster like you're talking about!

[Mark.]

Yeah ive managed to reorder it by rotating players through the injured list, but it took ages and is going to be annoying everytime someone is injured etc

First games update coming soon

Ive decided to skip Preseason play and just get straight into the regular season

[Zoom]

Looking forward to it then!

[BOSS]

I like it.
Are you sure it's a good idea to put Ariza as a secondary PF.
I suggest you put Turkoglu but up to you.
Good stuff man.
Hopefully this rotation turns out good.

So im looking for someone who can defend the top 2 guards in the League.

I'm guessing your looking for a pretty much 3rd or so scoring option and a great defender that wouldn't cost you your future?

Eddie Jones? You wouldn't need to give up a whole lot and he's a good defender. Marquis Daniels? Bruce Bowen?

More "expensive guys": Gerald Wallace, Larry Hughes, Andre Igoudala.

Is Doug Christie still in the game? If not, pick him up if you plan on updating the rosters.

Out of all the guys I mentioned and your situation, I would take Daniels. Good defender, solid scorer and can play both guard spots and the small forward. Bowen is aging, and you might not want to give up what it'l take to grab Jones.

Nov 1: Vs 0-0 Chicago Bulls (Played Game)


Boxscores: [Bulls]|[Magic]---------<-Click->--------Player of the Game: [Dwight Howard]

Recap:
Orlando opened their season with a strong performance against the Chicago Bulls.
The Bulls were tipped to win this game after adding the presence of Ben Wallace to
their squad from last year who fought a good first round battle against the eventual champion Miami Heat.

The Magic looked strong from the start, matching the Bulls point for point for most of the quarter.
Taking a 1 point lead into the 2nd the Magic continued to play efficiently, mostly running
the offense through experienced Small Forward Grant Hill, coupling this with great play from
young stars Jameer Nelson and Dwight Howard the Magic proceeded to extend the lead to 5.
The Magic continued to extend the lead during the third, and with 5mins left in the 4th
and with the game wrapped up the players started to put on some nice highlight plays for the fans.

Dwight Howard earned POG with a strong performance of 20 points and 13 rebounds.
Grant Hill couldn't find his shooting stroke, but contributed though his passing notching up 10 assists.
Ben Gordon was perhaps the only real positive for the Bulls, dropping 40 on the Magic defense.

Relevant Rumors:



After seeing the Clippers were wanting to get rid of a SF I realised this could be
the opportunity I was looking for to find a defensive swingman as Quentin Ross fitted perfectly.
I sent out an offer but unfortunately a deal couldn't be worked out as they wouldn't take
a deal involving Carlos Arroyo as the main swap for Ross and they couldn't give
enough in return to make Dooling the main player from the Magic in the trade.


Next Weeks Games:



This week will see the Magic play 3 games away from home against some tough teams.
The Pacers game will be the start of a 3 game road trip for the Magic, which will end the following week.

[Mark.]

@ Sam. Yeah I was thinking about that, But I want to get Ariza as many minutes as possible and hes probably a better defender, havent checked if he is stronger than Hedo yet.

@ Flite 23 Yeah I was keen to get Daniels, but sinc ehe just got moved to the Pacers I though it would be a bit unrealistic trading for him.

Anyway I just recently made a trade to solve that issue, it will be posted soon

BTW guys, keep in mind that I havent installed any visual patches yet, so expect the quality of the graphics to increase as I get more patches in the game

[Jugs]

Do you like the Rumour feature? I love it as it sometimes give me trade ideas when I don't want them but I do a trade.

I'd love to see you post some more features like the chemistry and how each player is feeling but the player comments are too generic and I'd imagine it'd be difficult updating it all the time.

[Arcane]

nice start to the season...graphics look sweet too

[The X]

Quinton Ross would definitely be a nice pickup....get him if the price is right
