You got some good questions in there....I got the feeling your FIBA question was based directly on my rumblings
thanks for asking though....it seems like a top 15 team like NZ was specifically excluded from the top 24 because the Oceanic region was already covered by Australia & it was more important to cover bigger markets like UK, Japan & Korea, which were not already covered by good teams....that's alright though, I won't bother you with my grumblings on that topic anymore....
btw, looks like the Roster Re-order option is never coming back
guess it only suits us more old school players....that & save game function....
