NBA Live Trivia Game - Round 4 Closed

[JaoSming]

I want to play a game....

Every 5 days (hopefully) I will come up with 10 questions about the NBA live series or community. The easier questions will be worth less than harder ones and the winner is whoever has the most points at the end of whenever I decide to stop this. You may edit your posts after seeing other's answers, but once the time limit is up for a certain set of questions then you may not answer those questions. Please limit SPAM in this tread but discussion is welcome.

[Andrew]

Fun idea. One suggestion though, it might be better to limit each poster to answering a certain number of questions per round otherwise everyone is likely to get a perfect score (or the same score at least) every round.

Here are my answers. I have to admit a couple of them are guesses due to mental blanks.

1. NBA Live 2000
2. NBA Live 2001
3. NBA Live 2005
4. NBA Live 2005
5. NBA Live 07
6. NBA Live 07 only
7. NBA Live 2003, NBA Live 2004, NBA Live 2005, NBA Live 06, NBA Live 07
8. SSH
9. Lighting
10. .o files, edited with OEdit.

[JaoSming]

I actually spent more time thinking about how I should go about doing the game then thinking up the questions. I thought about PMing me the answers but I didn't want them to get lost in the mix of all the Street questions. Maybe limiting the amount of answers is a good idea, I'll think of something by next round.

because it was poorly done and it was pretty much making 2 trades with the cpu at once. they didn't allow suggesting trades between 2 cpu teams.

It could be used effectively but those opportunities were extremely limited. If they do bring back multi-team trades - and I hope they do - then preferably we'll be able to nominate a swap between the CPU teams. Perhaps multi-team trades could involve some sort of negotiation process where CPU teams arrange their own swaps within the deal to make it work. Allowing the user to propose a scenario involving players on CPU teams changing places would be a good start though.
