Cricket Web XII Basketball

I wanted to do this actually for a while. I'm thinking about a Cricket Web Basketball team(Like the CW XI and CW XI football) , with a min of 12 players. Since it's only 12 players I don't think I can get a forum for it. If I can get more than 15 people I will request a forum, but would people be interested in this? I'm going to run it in my NBA 2k7 for PS2, where I will create a new team and the players. Would anyone be interested?

Sounds interesting...

I would be interested if it was say just a CW Team in the NBA (which i'm assuming it would be?) I think it would be safe to say that you wouldn't get a seperate forum unless there was 30+ people interested, which imo would be highly unlikely.

as for how it would be run, i'm assuming you're able to simulate games (without you actually playing them) on NBA2k7? and play as a manager alone or something like that?

Well, you can't sim games with created teams in NBA 2k7, so there for I am actually have to play them. It would be played on hall of fame(hardest) with slider settings to make it even tougher. But there will be captains to help decide the playing time and strategy's of the team.
I will also take screenshots with my phone of the game, and type up the boxscore at the end of each game. With the rest of the league, those games will be simmed. Also, Cricket Web will replace Charlotte Bobcats in the South East division so we can still keep an even number of teams.

As long as I get 12 players, it's good enough to run this.

Hmmmmm.... i'm a basketball fan... but the fact that you actually have to play the game etc. makes it all a little weird... i'm interested, but only if you can get 12 people.

Playing the game actually will give me more control, because through sims I can't set strategy's and playing time of players and all that.

Apart from that, it's not like the games will be easy. I'm playing on the hardest difficulty, along with game slider settings in favor of making the game harder so the results are more realistic.

I will also follow the captains strategy's like who will be the go to man, who will play most mins of bench, who takes shots unless you find a wide open player etc. so it won't be much different from a sim

Funnily enough Ive been looking into something similar for a while now.

There are a few sims out there that could be used but Im not 100% sold on any. Jump Shot basketball etc.

Im up for it, though playing the game yourself is a little wierd.

I've heard of Jump Shot Basketball and Total Pro Basketball. The thing is, none of them are freeware, and I'm not going to buy them because this won't be no Cricket Web XI you know.

And with NBA2k7, it's not possible to sim games with created teams.
