questions for dynasty players

[Sauru]

i was sitting at work today thinking about getting my hands on live and i started to wonder how others will play the game. so here is 9 questions for whoever feels like answering. some are bound to be repeats but i dont want to go through 30 topics to get 2-3 answers

1. will you be featureing your dynasty on these forums for all to see?

2. what team will you use?

3. season length?

4. current gen or next gen?

5. what % of games do you play vs sim?

6. do you plan to redraft or keep original rosters? will you alter draft order if yes?

7. now that we know we can actually trade draft picks, do you plan to trade for and stock pile picks or trade your picks away? what would you be more likly to do?

8. any planned trades you will try to execute once you start your dynasty?

9. are thier any players on your team that you consider untradeable no matter what is offered for him?

my answers

1. no. i tried once and failed. i cant even come close to the level of others on this forum

2.boston celtics

3.shortest length, 12 min quarters

4.current gen, pc

5.i play every game of the season and all of the all star events that one of my players is involved in

6. i will be very tempted to redraft as imo the celtics blew it big time this year but i wont. i would love to but i think it would give me an unfair advantage

7.i will most likly stock pile picks. i definetly want atleast 2 first round picks at the end of the first season. not sure how many the game lets your get at once, but i will try for 3 if i can.

8.i have a few planned trades but not sure who will be involved. i only know that i want atleast 2 of this years rookie players and atleast 1 extra first round pick.

9. the only untradeable player in all of my dynasties is the first player i draft. no matter how good or bad they are i consider them my pet project and keep them til the end or they refuse to resign.

[Andrew]

1. I'd say so.

2. Chicago Bulls

3. 82 games

4. Current Gen most likely. Unless people are feeling charitable when it's my birthday in a couple of months.

5. I generally try to play 100% of the games in the first year then sim/intervene more often after that.

6. Original rosters, but I'll probably make changes.

7. I'll try to snare some more first rounders or early second rounders, especially if I've got a good record.

8. Not yet. I think I'll avoid bringing back Shawn Kemp (fun as that's been) and just go with what Pax has put together in real life.

9. Ben Gordon, but most of the core really. I plan on keeping them together.

[Dan's Brain]

1. I doubt it. I'll probably be on PS2, and it doesnt really do it justice.

2. Chicago Bulls...again.

3. 82 games.

4. Current Gen as i said. I'm waiting for PS3, and after that, i'll be waiting for bugs to get ironed out.

5. I'll sim a lot, mainly because i like realistic totals and i cannot be arsed playing that many games.

6. Original rosters, but Mike Sweetney will most likely be moved.

7. Not sure really, if i can get a first rounder for Sweetney then i'll definitely try it.

8. I guess i already answered.

9. Kirk, without a doubt. Will also try to hang on Deng, Gordon and Nocioni. If the right deal presents itself though...

[Fresh8]

1. will you be featureing your dynasty on these forums for all to see? Most probably.. dont know how yet...

2. what team will you use? A team that will be realistic open to lots of changes but not the Knicks... and not the Lakers!

3. season length? 29

4. current gen or next gen? current... PC

5. what % of games do you play vs sim? 100% play

6. do you plan to redraft or keep original rosters? will you alter draft order if yes? original

7. now that we know we can actually trade draft picks, do you plan to trade for and stock pile picks or trade your picks away? what would you be more likly to do? Seeing my team will be crap, its very open right?

8. any planned trades you will try to execute once you start your dynasty? Nope

9. are thier any players on your team that you consider untradeable no matter what is offered for him? Nope

[beau_boy04]

1. i dont have too much time to play so its not fair

2. chicago bulls of course

3. 82 games/12 minutes

4. current gen

5. 50/50 most of the times and i always play the good teams.

6. i think i'd redo the draft and keep Aldridge

7. well as far as i know we're able to trade picks in nba live 05 arent we?

8. probably try to get a superstar scorer more than likely wade, lebron or amare or some defensive minded like howard

9. i think ben gordon

[Goldenstatewarrior]

1. Nope.

2. Golden State Warriors.

3. 82 games.

4. Current-gen (Might change my mind).

5. I play all the games. 100%

6. Keep the original rosters first then try the rookie draft later on.

7. Trade away since the Golden State Warriors have good young talent.

8. Maybe trading away Dunleavy, Murphy, or Adonal Foyle for someone.

9. Basically, the three players I named in question 8. (Overpaid players with average skill)

[thegreatdivide]

1. Most probably not.

2. Orlando.

3. 82 games.

4. XBox 360

5. 50%

6. I'll keep the original rosters after doing initial tweaks.

7. I'll most definitely trade for picks, there are a lot of options for this team after the first year.

8. Nope, i'll probably wait until the CPU offers something before I think about trading.

9. Gotta be Dwight! Aint no other team getting their greasy paws on my franchise.

[Tuomas]

1. will you be featureing your dynasty on these forums for all to see? Yes, if I get it for pc. Otherwise no.
2. what team will you use? New Jersey Nets
3. season length? 28
4. current gen or next gen? PC or X360
5. what % of games do you play vs sim? Play 100%
6. do you plan to redraft or keep original rosters? will you alter draft order if yes? Original rosters
7. now that we know we can actually trade draft picks, do you plan to trade for and stock pile picks or trade your picks away? what would you be more likly to do? Trade picks for players, I hate generated rookies
8. any planned trades you will try to execute once you start your dynasty? Depends on my team's needs, with NJ I'll probably trade for a good center.
9. are thier any players on your team that you consider untradeable no matter what is offered for him? Yes, Vince Carter. He is the face of my dynasty. I'll try to get him another sidekick

[Fenix]

1. Nah, probably not. Too lazy.

2. As of right now, Chicago for sentimental reasons and LAC, because I simply love how their roster is put up together.

3. 82 games.

4. PC, so current gen.

5. Around 50:50.

6. Probably I'll redo the draft, yeah. I'll edit a player or two or insert a new one in.

7. Considering both teams have a lot of young talent, I'll probably just work with what I have.

8. With Chicago: Deng for Milicic. With LAC: something like Maggette for Turkoglu, Korolev and a future #2 for Armstrong and TT, Rebraca for Croshere, Juan Jose Barea.

9. Chicago: Hinrich, Nocioni and Wallace. LAC: Brand, Livingston, Kaman.

[Denmack]

1. Hadn't thought about it. Maybe
2. Most likely Charlotte - just to see when I'd make it to the play-offs
3. 82 games of course (plus a 7-7-7-7 postseason)
4. I'll get mine for the PS2 first and then once the PS3 is released I'll get it for that
5. I usually sim the three first quarters and then play the final one myself (so that would amount to 75% of games are simulated)6. No, I'll be keeping the original rosters
7. It depends on the depth of the draft (and whether or not the rookies are more realistic than in the past)
8. Maybe a trade with Knight for a good, starting caliber SG - but probably not
9. Okafor, Felton, Wallace and Morrison are more or less my untouchables

[SVG18]

1.Thought about it but probably not

2. Chicago Bulls

3. 82 games

4. current gen, pc

5. Intervene in the 4th quarters but if the gameplay is good , ill play some full games although it is very timeconsuming

6. Original rosters

7. Trade my picks away

8. Trade some crap players + picks for a star hopefully

9. No one is untradeable!

[KIG1]

1. Yes, definatly

2. I will be using the Cleveland Cavaliers first

3. 29 or 58 game season

4. Current gen on the PC

5. 90% play, 10% sim

6. Keep the same rosters, no fantasy draft

7. Trade for more draft picks now, especially from the worst team.

8. No, I like to keep the dynasty going until I feel like tradeing someone.

9. LeBron James.... No question

[Isaiah]

1. yes ill be posting my dynasty here. i just hope it lasts unlike my 06 ones.

2. Los Angeles Lakers. As always

3. 29

4. Current Gen (PC)

5. ill try all for the first and second seasons..then not sure after that..

6. ill try and start with the draft..if i dont like it then the original rosters

7. I'm not really sure what I'm gonna do about this

8. possibly get rid of Aaron McKie and Brian Cook

9. KOBE BRYANT, Andrew Bynum, JORDAN FARMAR

[The Hitman]

1. I don't know.

2. Toronto Raptors.

3. 82.

4. Next (Xbox 360)

5. First year 50/50, after that, the harder teams. It could be around 30% playing 70% simming.

6. Original Rosters (I will be Brain Colangelo's assistant )

7. Depends, if I'm in the playoffs by the deadline I'll just keep what I got but I will try to trade away my 2nd round pick and keep my 1st round. If I stink, then I'll try to get another first rounder and offer someone who should be playing good but stinks. It probably won't work out.

8. C. Bosh and Mo Pete for D. Wade. Try to get M. Evans (the NEXT Rodman) and if its too hard to get Wade, then I'll go after A. Iguodala. I need a better sg. I might also try to get back Charlie V from the Bucks. But I may do that in the second season after the draft.

9. Andrea Bargnani. He will be my future star. Everyone else is fair game.

[nets4life]

1. Not my first one, il want to get a feel of 07 before posting it.

2. Nets or Magic

3. 82 but play either one half or one quarter

4. current gen

5. above

6. original

7. it really depends if i want to rebuild or go all out for the championship. Obviously if im the Nets il try to trade my draft picks for another player who can make it happen

8. not really

9. no

[Jugs]

1. Yah

2. Blazers, if i fuck them up then either Hawks or Jazz

3. 82

4. PC current

5. 4th quarter intervention for most of the games and I might play a half for the "exciting" games (against other bummy teams).

6. I'd love to redraft but I'm satisfied with Roy and Aldridge

7. I hate useless 2nd rounders, so I'll get rid of it fo' sho.

8. I'll be looking to move LaFrentz and maybe Miles, but Miles is 'good' in Live

9. Randolph, Roy, Aldridge, Magloire.

[---]

guess this doesnt really count as reviving an old thread.


1. Maybe, the fact that the holidays are coming up definately makes me lean towards yes

2. Undecided. Im thinking Grizzlies, but anything can change

3. 82 games maybe 8 or so minute quarters, depends on how 07 plays

4. Current gen - PC

5. 100% Play

6. Original rosters, first i will see how good the rosters are and if they arnt great, I will wait till the first NLSC update

7. I would most likely trade for picks. It would give me more enthusiasm late in the season about my dynasty, knowing that I could have more than one first round pick. Also, if i make the draft update for 07, I want Oden... Atlanta*, Portland*, New York*... consider your draft picks vulnrable.

8. Not sure, il have to wait and see

9. If i choose Memphis, Rudy Gay

*Subject to change

[Jugs]

Portland*,

*Subject to change

Better be.


I saw Live 07 Dynasty Issues and me having the last post and i was like what the fuck i didnt post here. But yeah this thread.

[JaoSming]

1. will you be featuring your dynasty on these forums for all to see?

Celtics will use opening day rosters, Currentgen will be a custom league.

7. now that we know we can actually trade draft picks, do you plan to trade for and stock pile picks or trade your picks away? what would you be more likly to do?

I might, im not sure yet!

2. what team will you use?

Definately the NY KNICKS!!!!!

The shortest one, 24 games i believe it is.. I like to get the seasons moving and develop players... 82 is just too long.. i like to get to it fast!!!

I play all of them... sometimes if im 3-0 up in the playoffs ill sim a game or 2 to make it interesting

6. do you plan to redraft or keep original rosters? will you alter draft order if yes?

keep original rosters... but i usually do two dynasties.. one with a draft and one with the knicks.. but no i dont alter the order

7. now that we know we can actually trade draft picks, do you plan to trade for and stock pile picks or trade your picks away? what would you be more likly to do?

Since i have the knicks, prob trade them... i dont plan on finishing in last place again!!!!

8. any planned trades you will try to execute once you start your dynasty?

OH YES ... Jerome James is a goner... Steve Francis is also on the block but dont know who i will try to get for him yet.. maybe Q Rich... Then again... I might keep the knicks as-is for a while because i like to be able to play with the team how it is in real life as i watch the season

9. are thier any players on your team that you consider untradeable no matter what is offered for him?

Um... maybe Frye and Jamal... i also love nate so i dont nkow
