Simming for next year

[San Antonio Spurs]

I got NBA Live 06 for the PC, and it could make simming games a lot easier. We could go with 1 of 2 methods, if we chose to do this for NBA Live 07. Hit the save button, which saves the box score as a text file. We could then upload that straight to the website. An example file would be..
www.freewebs.com/gmleaguerumors/bxscr000.txt

That would be relatively easy, hitting save for each game played, and it would be easier to upload because you can upload multiple files at a time. However, 82 games times 30 teams, thats over 2400 files.. that's a lot of times having to upload crap haha

Another method, which would take more time and space, but maybe look nicer, would be taking screen shots of each teams score, for example, in the same game..




[Note: I resized it to 480 x 360, which I still think is readable, and lowered the quality to 0, to lower the filesize and improve loading times for people with dialup modems]

This method would mean they would have to hit print screen, open a picture editor program, paste it, resize it possibly like I did, and save it, and then upload it. A lot more time consuming, but better looking.

I am really considering buying NBA Live 07 for PC, and I might be interested in simming it myself if people like this idea a lot better than the old version.

Here the second time me and Detroit match up in the season..



[Note: I didn't change the filesize this time and saved it at 5-quality]

And here are the gamestats for that days games:
Pistons @ Spurs
Cavaliers @ Lakers
Clippers @ Phoenix
[Note: Only San Antonio and Detroit Pistons have up to date rosters.]

[Atlanta Hawks]

thats how this one guy does it in the other league

[San Antonio Spurs]

With images? Or saved uploading box scores? How do you guys like that in the other league? Does it work well? Is it too much of a hassle for him?

[Atlanta Hawks]

well he has alot of time on his hands. he is like 30 or something. idk if its a hassle, i seriously doubt it. ill give you our simulation site. phi76ball.proboards100.com/index.cgi

[San Antonio Spurs]

damn that site is hard on my eyes lol

[Detroit Pistons]

I love the computer version option for simulations. It allows you to view each and every games boxscores (if the simulator does that).

[Detroit Pistons]

Plus if you have a messenger, like MSN or Yahoo, and a webcam, you can watch your games live. I was in the finals in that league as the Charlotte Bobcats and I watched all my games live.

You also are able to get cool screen shots like 3 point champion presentation, dunk contest champion presentation, and other cool options you couldnt get without the computer version. Also it makes putting the team stats, MVP Races, Player of the Month awards, etc. alot easier as its just a click save, copy and paste away rather then typing it all out.

[Golden State Warriors]

how did you guys do it last year.

[San Antonio Spurs]

www.freewebs.com/nbagmleague0506/index.htm

That is the site we used last year for simulations.

Detroit, I don't have a webcam so I wouldn't be able to do that if it was me, but I could post the box scores in a text file like the examples I used, I don't think I would use pictures for box scores, but I would take pictures of special events like 3 point contest, Finals games, etc

[Detroit Pistons]

Its all good. Im all for the computer version simulations.

[Phoenix Suns]

I like the idea of using NBA Live 07. I'd obviously prefer posting screenshots as opposed to just plain box scores, but I'm sure whoever would be doing the sims (I assume you) has more important things to do than post screenshots.

Another option would be to pick a game every day/week and call it the "Game of the Day/Week" and have extensive coverage of that game. Screenshots could be taken from the game's boxscore and from highlights from the game itself. It's just another alternative that I guess would be a "compromise" between the two.

[Charlotte Bobcats]

I like suns idea, however I say make sure every team gets atleast 1 "game of the week" so we can all experiance the cool screen shots and see our players. Either way you do it. It looks really cool.

[Phoenix Suns]

In addition to "Game of the Week", you could use screenshots to display stats, playoff races, standings, and coverage of other events like All-Star weekend. We could make it look somewhat professional and have special coverage for players just after a trade or if something out of the ordinary took place.

[Cleveland Cavaliers]

In the other league that was how we simmed it, by uploading the box scores. It's much better.

[Denver Nuggets]

I was thinking halfway through last year i should of done it on pc... would be better

[Cleveland Cavaliers]

Yah, it's alot better because you can see all the box scores, and in the playoffs people can watch the games if they want.

[Detroit Pistons]

IF the simmer broadcasts the live games on an instant messenger, has a webcam, AND agrees to sit down for the whole game and watch them. Quite time consuming

[Cleveland Cavaliers]

Yah, the watching part isn't really important, but seeing the box scores of every game is why it is good.
