GOOD NEWS!

The problem with the draft is fixed and no error shows, but you know if there is good news, it has to be some bad news. The bad news is that there is a problem in the draft where there are like 5-6 players that are doubled which means its like two Chris Paul's, but the 2nd Chris Paul never gets selected in the draft, but Seraph said he can fix that. There is also another problem once I get to the next season. The rookies don't show on my roster and they all of a sudden disappear. So I sent Seraph my dynasty file and now the problem here has to be fixed.

So, it looks like the dynasty will probably be stalled a little longer, but at least progress is being made. I'm getting alot of things ready for the 2nd season so once the dynasty is fixed, it will be like that I never paused anything because I willl already have my off-season done in one day and posted, then the season will start the next day, so just bare with me. And BIG thanks for Seraph, because he is doing alot of dbf work to help me and I'm just glad he came to the rescue

[Ruff Ryder]

Its allll good. I can wait.

[Arcane]

hope it all works out

[John WB]

Take your time. It must be annoying to do all that dbf editing. It has been for me.

[The X]

when you get to it, am looking forward to off-season coverage

Tapping into the top 20:
This Dynasty instance is currently ranked #14 on the Official 2005 Birdie Board!

SbHzMaFiA: Thanks so much for submitting those pstats! And I'll be bugging you soon enough to fill out this Dynasty Synopsis Questionairre soon! Also, I was wondering, the next time Amare does an unbelievable play, can you please do save a frame by frame screenshot collection for me? I want to put that short video in your Dynasty Synopsis module(more explanation on this later).. To see what I have in mind check out, here

Its allll good. I can wait.

Thanks for being patient. Don't worry, it'll be worth the wait

hope it all works out

Me too, I think it will though

when you get to it, am looking forward to off-season coverage

Yea, like I said, it will be something you don't want to miss

HonorGlow, thanks for posting my birdie breakdown and looks like I'm moving up on the board from no.21 to no.14. I will definitely be filling out the dynasty synopsis questionairre too. One problem about the video though, I can't get videos to work on my game for some reason. It never opens up in a program after I record it.

Well, basically, my recommendation would be to go to Instant Replay after you obtain the play you want, and just basically painstakingly do the frame by frame using that 'video' console and record button that's provided (don't bother minimizing the console) when pressing the record/snapshot button it'll make a screenshot and keep it inthe screenshot folder. Yes, this captures the video console in your shot BUT I actually use that to my advantage(you'll see)

whew... that was wordy

[-BHZMAFIA-]

Right now, things are looking very good and I will post some of the off-season stuff right now since I've completed it. There are still some minor problems to work out so as far as I know, the dynasty is still on.

NEW YORK, July 2 (AP) -- The 2005 NBA Draft Lottery was held today in New York City where several representatives from their repsective teams came to check out who will get the lucky roll this year. The teams participating in the lottery were Utah, Charlotte, Golden State, Atlanta, New York, Seattle, New Orleans, Chicago, LA Clippers, Milwaukee, LA Lakers, Toronto, Philadelphia and Portland. There has been a strong history of the team with the worse record rarely getting the top pick and that's exactly what happened this year. The Atlanta Hawks were the winner's of this year's draft as they had the 4th worse record in the league this past season and had a 120 out of 1000 chance of recieving the top pick. "I'm glad that we have the oppurtunity to pick first in a very deep draft," Hawks GM Bill Knight said. "This is just the beginning of rebuilding for our team."

The Utah Jazz didn't get snubbed as bad as some other teams have been in the previous years. Utah did recieve the 2nd pick after having the most chances at winning the top pick at 250 out of 1000. Jazz GM Kevin O' Conner said, "We are not mad that we didn't get the first pick because we don't need the first pick for what we are looking for. The player that is projected at going no.1 isn't the type of player we need at his position so I love the fact we have the 2nd pick." New Orleans are looking to make the most improvements in the draft as they have the 5th pick (from Golden State) and the 7th pick. In a deep draft like this year's, the Hornets can easily build on the draft and sign a few free agents to become playoff contenders next year in the NBA.

The fan-favorite New York Knicks had a good lottery as they finishe with the 5th worse record in the league, but ended up with the 3rd pick. Knicks President of Basketball Operations, Isiah Thomas, represented the team this year in the lottery and he was very happy with the results. "I thought we had a chance at the first pick, but I'm happy with the 3rd pick. A top 3 pick is great and I already have my eye on a few players that I like in the draft. After some draft workouts, we should know what player we will want unless the two teams ahead of us pick that certain player." When asked about trading his 3rd pick to get a player that his team needs in a weak area on the floor, Isiah said, "No, I don't see anybody out there right now that I would trade the 3rd pick for, but if the right offer comes along, I would be willing to trade it." The 2005 NBA Draft will be held on June 21st and expect some exciting things this off-season.

[The X]

this is looking good Mafia....really good....you probably already know by now how much I luv the off-season, but yours is shaping up nicely....you're setting the standard high and I hope that you continue this trend into free agency, draft workouts and the draft

and how come the Bobcats always are unlucky in Draft Lottery?

[pHLo]

yeah, it looks really nice, so far
I'm very happy to see ur dynasty going on

[John WB]

Knicks get the third pick!

Thanks and yea I know you love the off-season, especially the scouting. I'm trying to make the off-season as in-depth as I can, but sadly there won't be no scouting reports because the fact that my rookies were messed up in the game, but they should be fixed before the season starts. The draft will be in-depth though. I don't know how the Bobcats got the 4th pick with the 2nd worse record. It's kind of sad, but they did good at signing free agents so they did make some improvements.

yeah, it looks really nice, so far
I'm very happy to see ur dynasty going on

Thanks, I'm glad to see it's working too, I'm just hoping this last small problem can be fixed and then I'll be ready to start the new season.

Knicks get the third pick!

Yea, it was about time they got lucky with something, I just hope they pick someone worthy to help the team, because the rest of their team is going to be pretty much the same in the off-season unless they make some trades.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Expect a new set for the 1st page as well because the other set is getting a little old. Also resignings, key resignings, the draft and key signings very soon. Things are just getting started

[BOSS]

good job man, hope next season turns succesful

[pierralban]

i hope Knicks can take Marvin Williams ... Or take Chris Paul and trade him for Bogut or Williams. Chris Paul is a GREAT pg but they got Starbury ...

Yes Marvin can be the future of this dynasty...but not alone...

[John WB]

I'm hoping they draft Gerald Green.

[-BHZMAFIA-]

This is just getting annoying now. Thanks Seraph for fixing the problem too.

I can't believe that it still doesn't work after he fixed the problem. Now that everything shows in the season and all the problems are fixed, except when you try to sim to like play a game or skip a day, the game crashes completely and doesn't give me no apperance error or anything. I don't know what the problem is now and the dynasty is starting to look like its going to die unless there's another solution. If someone knows a way to fix this problem then please help.

[misow]

sim a new dynasty, in dbf select the generated rookies copy past in your old dynasty, reinstall the Zach patch, it's done i think?

Sorry but did u try this?

Well I did, but knowing my dbf skills, I probably messed up on something. I'm going to try it again.

[C89KF]

[John WB]

Yeah, that happens with everyone's.
