New Fantasy Basketball Online Game

[Kazz]

Hey all,

I'm a long time reader of NetsDaily.com and a long time Nets fan. My first sports jersey purchase ever as a kid was a Kenny Anderson jersey and I've been a Nets fan ever since. I promise that's the last time I mention the name "Kenny Anderson" in my post.

Anyhow, I hope this is ok with the mods here (if it's not then please delete/move/merge my topic and I promise I won't post about this again!) but I wanted to plug own online basketball game that I just launched. Check it out at:
http://www.courtrivals.com

Go and sign up now (it's free). There's an in game tutorial to teach you how to play.

The inaugural "first season" kicks off today. Rather than make a sales pitch, here's the text I dropped on the main page:

<blockquote>Court Rivals is a new type of fantasy sport where YOU assume the role of the player in a simulated basketball league:

* Train your player's skills and improve his game
* Join a team with friends or create your own team
* Challenge other teams owned by real people like you around the world
* Win individual awards or a championship banner</blockquote>

I tried to keep the experience a mix of fantasy sports (e.g. log in, do a couple of things, log out) and online games which force you to stay logged in.

Anyway, feel free to post constructive feedback here or private message me or post on my forums on the site or something if you have any suggestions or you find any bugs (hopefully most of those have been weeded out by now).

I hope you enjoy the site as much as I enjoy NetsDaily =)

Signed up, looks very good.
I've created a team. If anyone is interested, pm me

We need:
<strike>1 C</strike>, 1 PG, which Shake will hopefully fill, and another straight up shooting guard (not combo).
And, if anyone wants to make a PF, I'll kickout Goofy.

We're done.

Guards are: Me, Claud, Peg, and Shake (last two pending)
Forwards are: THE DADDY, Real, ZAE, Main Event, Logik, and Vuchato. Vuchato and ZAE are small, and Main Event is a tweener. KC, Real, Logik are all primary big men.

So this is like Goal Line Blitz : Basketball version? Hm...I might take a look for myself.

 

[#1_War_Poet_ForLife]

Not as deep, but fun. When you sign up, join my regime. Make a center or small forward.

[GMJ]

[#1_War_Poet_ForLife]

Here's how it's looking:
Me
Claud
MainEvent
Goofy
Logik.

We might have a top team.

My dudes nasty lol hes a combo guard can shoot 3s and run like a mdf

 

[GMJ]

We're gonna get smoked by quicker teams if we play 3 bigs; at least that's conventional thinking. Maybe it'll work in the game. Shooting will be a problem.

 

[Claud]

Holy shit man my guy is the best in the league
ranked 1st

 

[#1_War_Poet_ForLife]

Claud and I should be decent shooters.

 

[Claud]

I cant train no more for today LOL
it says that i exhausted the training shit at the gym haha

 

[Claud]

Im lethal from downtown level 25

 

[#1_War_Poet_ForLife]

I'll train passing from now on.
I have 24 from 3, 22 overall shooting.

 

[GMJ]

This could be a decent off-season activity if the site lives up to expectations.

I'm training in shooting, and I"m listed at a 6'9" so I should have a midrange game. Still, the player creation page specifically listed me as a power forward, so we'll have to see.

Make that 48 and apparently our team has a game in 7 hours? we dont even have a team yet!

 

[#1_War_Poet_ForLife]

We have filler players. And the largest roster in the league

We're all #1, as long as we use our points daily, and train endurance.

 

[GMJ]

Ew Claud why am I a better shooter than you are (save threes)?

 

[#1_War_Poet_ForLife]

http://www.courtrivals.com/showTeamProfile.php?tid=9
They already filled out their team.

You're also better at shooting than me, Jigga

I spent 3-4 points on endurance.

 

[GMJ]

We should be able to fill out ours, its not like this is a small board. Plus, it'll keep us competitive if people want to keep their starting roles.

 

[#1_War_Poet_ForLife]

Mhm.
User01 has registered, and is on board.

I recommend everyone trains a good amount of endurance daily. It will help in development later on.
