OT: Court Rivals- A FOURTH BE team created (2 OPEN SPOTS)

by Trail Blazer on Jul 23, 2008 2:14 PM PDT

If you haven't heard about it yet, Court Rivals is "a fantasy basketball simulator that you can play for free online. Basically you create a character, join a team and improve your stats and whatnot." (Thank Dheepan for showing it to us).

The first three teams are full, so i went ahead and created a fourth team for some of us acting a little later then our fellow BEdgers.

Name: Red Unit

Password: Oden

Rise with us...

For the team: 1. Let's all try and be about 300 skill points by Friday.

2. I'm just going to start the players with the most skill points as long as there is a point (around 5'11-6'3 and good at passing, ball handeling, and shooting), a shooting guard (6'3-6'7 and good shooter and slasher), a small forward (6'6-6'9 and a jack of all trades), and a couple of big men (6'10+ and rebounder, shot blocker).

UPDATE: TWO PLAYERS HAVE BEEN CUT DUE TO NON-ACTIVITY, THAT LEAVES TWO SPOTS OPEN FOR GUARDS. PLEASE NOTE, YOU WILL BE CUT IF YOU DON'T TRAIN.

we have another forward already.

we need a back up forward, but you could start at point, sf, or center. we have a sg.

Minute Bol (7’ 1”) is shorter than Manute Bol but he’ll still get the job done

haha

Minute Bol. What a great name!

I wonder if anyone on Court Rivals has taken the name “Sideways Manute” yet.

It looks like

we could use more shooting and defense from both our current players and newcomers

I call foul

Somebody stole my point guard name: Rudy Royriguez. When we meet on the (imaginary) court, Royriguez will get his revenge…

Also, there is a team forum so everyone wont read your strategies and what not….

I’m working on my passing right now and getting back on defense

by kickbrass on Jul 22, 2008 8:52 PM PDT up reply actions

Rudy Rodriguez is his name!

by kickbrass on Jul 22, 2008 8:49 PM PDT reply actions

Yeah but he can't dunk!

by pualo on Jul 22, 2008 8:50 PM PDT up reply actions

looks like we need back ups for 2, 3, 4, and 5

whoever is better starts, obviously, no preference for who comes first

How many teams until BEdge can form it's own league?

Coach, I promise I wasn't running hard ...

I joined Blazer's Edge and Court Rivals for this

Hi everyone!

First post. I created a 6’6” shooting guard and joined the team. Thanks for starting the team – it looks like fun!

No point in making a team

You will never beat the Bedgers. Just give up.

Quick Question

How do you look at other player’s skill levels? I need to create the starting line up with the most skilled players.

by Trail Blazer on Jul 22, 2008 10:53 PM PDT reply actions

I can't answer your question exactly but I can help

The default setting appears to be to not reveal our attributes to anyone (“Reveal Attributes to: No One”). To let you see them, we need to go to Settings—> Player Settings and change that value. The other options are “Reveal Attributes to: Team Captain” and “Reveal Attributes to: My Team”. I’d suggest using the second one (“My Team”) so we can see where everyone else is strong and get a sense of how the attributes affect game stats. But at least set it to “Team Captain” to let Trail Blazer set the starting lineup.

by JayAcer on Jul 22, 2008 11:39 PM PDT up reply actions

Yes, let's definitely display stats to our teammates

THIS IS COOL BUT

Please don’t rec it to the featured fanposts without un-rec’ing the other one.

dang it!

I made a player back when team #2 was created, and missed out on the team as it filled up, then I tried for team #3, and once again missed out. I thought for sure I would get to join team #4, but alas, my rookie has gone undrafted.
