Nice presentation. (Y) I'm with Valor on this one, a little less gloss would make it more readable. Nice win to start out the post-Dwight era.

That Jameer Nelson screenshot made me laugh. :lol:

Good short read giving an idea of why you won (nice win btw). I have to agree on what the others said though, I'd even take away the pinstripes - sometimes more is less - that's why boxscores look ugly but give a good view - simply effective.

Talking bout boxscores - you can use tables from OS as somebody already mentioned but for me I found it effective to only name four-five players of each team with important stats (Sit used to do it like that and I liked it)

Keep it up (Y)

Glad to see that you're using Florida's favourite team. I'm sure all (especially Ben :wink: ) would agree with that sentiment :P

I actually think this is what has hindered my most recent attempts at a long running dynasty.

Anyway, lets get this started. Hope it lasts longer than my 2K12 attempts!

Amen to all of that. Agree with the time factor, such is life. Doesn't get any better when you start a family either :lol:

wait until seasons end and we'll wait to see who reigns supreme. I guess the same argument can be made for the Battle for LA with Lakers and Clippers

mp3, Cheers mate, think I will try OS soon for boxscores. Give me more space in the tempalte for other info.

dare, Thanks, I was going to do that, but I get frustrated with how they present the boxscores in 2k.

Larvae, Yeah buddy, Vucci Mane is doing his thang, just gotta get used to him on offense.

Valor, Thanks man, feedback noted :)

Axel., Haha yeah it was a funny one, to be honest I keep failing with the screens as I keep forgetting there isn't a built in highlight package anymore.

hova-, Cheers dude, feedback noted. So far I am sticking with the 4-5 players thing. Still tinkering with ideas as to how I will move forward.

The X, Yeap, having Ben lend a hand with the template, graphics etc has really helped a lot. This is showing promise right now, as it isn't taking too long to do updates. Haha I thought there was only one team in Florida, eh Ben? :P

Arcane, I think for Orlando, reigning supreme probably means more balls in the lottery!

Durant35, Cheers mate. Glad to have you following.

Hark is a decent rolepayer tough loss for you. Afflalo seems to be quite good in your story.

Larvae, Haha yeap, it certainly wasn't a tough game.

Radioman, Yeah Hark is solid. Good defender in the game, still finding his way on offense but his athleticism is handy.

Sit, Cheers mate, hope you didn't mind the similarity in Story names, but the term Heart & Hustle has a special place in Orlando history so thought it would be fitting for this season. Early Boykins is at the top of my wish list, don't you worry.

Eirsej, Yeap sure is! And he sure has been doing his thing!

Valor, Yeah, much like in real life, look to play hard and instill a competitive culture, but at the same time, each loss adds more ping pong balls so can't complain. I have also started going through and making trades so that all teams have the correct draft picks! So looking to nab another solid first rounder for this year and next if I can.

Larvae, Yeap, much like real life, McBob has a tendency to explode for some massive highlights!

mp3, He is useful in the game IMO, might need to tweak him a bit to extend his range to reflect real life.

Arcane, Haha easier said than done with all the injuries I am suffering!

update coming tonight hopefully, been a bit busy with trying to fill my room IRL.

Looking superb bro. I like how you not recap all games... that's a sting of mine :P

Thierry •, Thanks mate. Yeah I decided I would just recap random games, probably 3-4 a month at this stage. Will do more in future seasons/playoffs perhaps.

^ Yep I think I will have to do that too. It's the only way to get through the seasons fast.

Thierry •, Yeah good idea. I think you will find it a lot easier to stay motivated. I found I would always end up with a backlog of games to recap and never actually get round to doing them.
