Dynasty, Association & My Player Interviews

Postby Andrew on Fri Mar 23, 2012 7:32 pm

In addition to our traditional ventures - upcoming game news, patches and the like - we're always looking to expand the NLSC with more original content. Last year JaoSming did some quick interviews with some NBA 2K mixmakers and we tossed around the idea of doing something similar with Dynasty, Association and My Player threadmakers. This would also allow us to spotlight the Stories section and some of the best threads we have, which should hopefully encourage more folks to get in on the act and bring in some well deserved kudos for the people already making threads.

As such, I'd like to get the ball rolling. Please let me know if you're interested so that I can devise some questions and you can select some images and/or videos you'd like me to use in the feature. Hopefully everyone can have some fun with this; please let me know if you have any questions or suggestions at this time. :)

Good idea. The X, Sit and badreligionau come to mind.

Thierry, attention-whoring. :shake:

For me, interview those who have a story in the Association/Dynasty/Franchise HOF if they are still active in the forums.
If you still need more material, get those who currently have active stories with multiple thread pages and views.

Sounds good to me. It's just up to those folks whether or not they want to participate. (Y)

I really like the idea and I'd be willing to participate. As for other potential writers to interview, I'd say Martti, Lamrock, Axel. and Phil89 would be worthy candidates as well, if they want to be involved.

Great! Hopefully all those guys are up for participating as well.

My plan is to have a few general questions that are applicable to everyone, along with a few tailor made questions for each person as well. Depending on how many we end up doing I was thinking either one a week (a Story of the Week type deal, perhaps) or two or three a week spaced a couple of days apart. I'd like to make sure each feature gets enough attention and the longer we can promote the stories section, the better.

If I can help in any way, happy to do it. Dynasty section is where I'm at most of the time anyway.

I'd be honored to contribute in any way I could. I'm a pretty big dynasty nerd (just ask X - I know more about his Bobcats than he does :P ) and have tried to carve a niche for myself in a section, even with many bouts of Thierry-itis.

Sounds great, I'd definitely like to have your threads featured with some interviews. Any other suggestions or questions about the format are also welcome at this time. (Y)

Really late in finding this thread lol. Doing interviews definitely sounds like a great way to give this quiet section some love. (Y) I'd really like to chip in.

Excellent. I'm guessing there aren't any other suggestions or questions at this time, so let's look to get started on the interviews. Judging by the responses so far, these are the folks who'll be featured:

The X
Sit
badreligionau
Phil89
Axel.
Thierry
Lamrock
Martti.

If it's not to egotistical to throw my name out there, I was thinking perhaps I could do a little write-up on Dynasty stories and mention what makes it appealing and fun for me and touch upon a few of my favourite moments in my Dynasty games. Alternatively, perhaps you guys could come up with a few questions for me so I'm not interviewing myself. ;) However, let's focus on everyone else first, starting with that list and anyone else who'd like to take part.

My question to you would be: Have you ever done a offline NBA Dynasty/Association with a team other than the Chicago Bulls? If so, which team and why?

Some generic questions that could apply to everyone:

- Which dynasty/association story did you enjoy making the most?
- Funniest dynasty/association moments? (could include dynasty-related memes like That Guy)
- What inspired you to make a dynasty/association story?
- Did you learn any new skills as a result of making your story(ies)?

Just a heads up, I haven't forgotten about this but right now I'm focusing on getting the roster updates finished and released. Once that's done, I'll be ready to get started on features like this. Appreciate all the interest so far, if anyone else has any suggestions or would like to take part, please let me know.

- Any favorite players to play with, or players you look to trade for?
- What do you look forward to more, the journey or the prize in the end?
- Is it more fun to play with a team that is rebuilding, or a one that is a powerhouse?
- What is the key position that you should have a key player at?

Had more, forget em :P

- What game is the best in your opinion for dynasties?
- How many years do you usually finish in a dynasty? The longest?
- Who have inspired you the most while making your stories?

- Who was the best generated player/rookie in your dynasty story?

- Which team made the biggest improvements via trade/draft in your dynasty story?

- Are you proud of any roster moves you did and what were your biggest disappointments during your story?

A bit more detailed but that is what I love about dynasties - roster building, surprising upcoming teams, management decisions.

Thanks, keep them coming! I'd rather not ask everyone the same questions and tailor make a few based on the interviewee, but having a bank of questions definitely helps. (Y)
