Be goal oriented. What are her objectives for the site? What are the objectives of people who visit the site?

IU sucks

MySoberLogin · 2012-05-27T11:51:49.636840+00:00

Yeah. Because I had 2k the first time.

If you have anything of value you can sell, do it. Sounds like you will be making some bucks as soon as you start that new job anyway

If this is your first project, you might want to consider ASP.NET MVC if you will be able to host it. It will take care of a lot of grunt work for your site like authentication, image uploading, emailing from the server, etc and free up more time to learn some of the basics

If it wasn't for this flukey shot they would have been swept by the Magic

I never actually played Football Manager, but Basketsim is what I'm referring to. It's modeled more on European basketball than the NBA but it's fun if you are into simulations

Night Bible School then?

piglet24 · 2012-05-26T23:13:43.478650+00:00

Very cool! I would love to go on a trip to somewhere remote like that. Did you really run out of gas at that sign though?

portero36 · 2012-05-26T22:34:48.877870+00:00

Is The Admiral attending night school or something? What's with all the books?

amwrootbeer · 2012-05-26T22:33:37.833470+00:00

Then I wouldn't get a car. You will hardly use it your freshman year, so it would just sit in a lot somewhere and depreciate. You can get almost anything from within walking distance of campus. As for routes to Chicago I only know of amtrak and O'Hare shuttle

Nickster79 · 2012-05-26T21:43:40.202380+00:00

In the NBA today, the 76ers have decided to change their name to honor former great Wilt Chamberlain

IM_HOMELESS_BITCH · 2012-05-26T21:19:06.076941+00:00

For a homeless guy you sure are well-versed in reddit mannerisms. Well done sir

GamiSB · 2012-05-26T21:16:27.400269+00:00

Either you're a youngin' or you didn't hit up the N64 section at the video rental store

Vankoyic · 2012-05-26T21:07:00.321367+00:00

What ESPN interview isn't? That's why we're looking at screenshots and not the actual video

Crunketh · 2012-05-26T20:52:12.870377+00:00

Second, how would the game determine when a player gets upset, and upset enough to get a technical? It couldn't be random, because you'd have players who never get technicals being ejected and such.

Easy, you just have a "Rasheed" rating, then every player gets a 0-100 on how much they are like Rasheed Wallace

Crunketh · 2012-05-26T20:50:57.832036+00:00

That would be kind of cool. Like in Mass Effect you choose your background before the game starts

amwrootbeer · 2012-05-26T20:06:21.198292+00:00

How often do you plan to be going back and forth?

Crunketh · 2012-05-26T19:47:50.472808+00:00

What would you add to my player?

Crunketh · 2012-05-26T19:45:06.010467+00:00

True, 2 seasons does kind of kill the environment, but after several years it's just unplayable because the league is flooded with terrible auto-generated players, while LeBron and Dwight Howard are still rated 95+

You also touched on completely unrealistic rosters, which pisses me off when a team has like 4 75+ rated point guards (with big contracts) and no center. Not to mention the COMPLETELY STUPID trades that the CPU's make.

Also, the 2nd round draft picks are guaranteed contracts so you can't cut them and have to waste 2 roster spots on them every year, even though they are completely worthless (59 or 60 rated) players who will never develop. Even first round guys don't develop unless they are a top 5 pick.

I remember you could hang on the rim in some older games - I think it was Kobe's NBA Courtside - and then if a player was beneath you when you let go it was a foul lol

EDIT: also when I start a new association I have to turn off the team chemistry setting because it just destroys your franchise if you have a bad loosing streak

GamiSB · 2012-05-26T19:39:01.163679+00:00

True, although this does exist

GamiSB · 2012-05-26T19:33:44.223826+00:00

Built with Frostbite 2 and NO CONSOLE PORTS (so you know it's good)

Crunketh · 2012-05-26T19:32:09.193197+00:00

I'm like you, I like the simulation aspect of association mode more so than actually playing the game (unless it's myplayer).

I wish there was just something really in depth like Football manager but for basketball. I have looked around but never fully satisfied, even though I do play an online one pretty regularly.

When you simulate 8+ seasons in association it gets stale. The drafted players all suck and aren't believable, there is no realistic player development, and the front office options are fairly general.

Also pro-sports leagues don't allow fighting in their games for a reason. That's why you have games like Blitz: The League
