Re: The Association - What do you want to know?
Haha that looks pretty familiar to LeBron in my Franchise, except he was on my Grizzlies and we won four titles.
Anyway, I have a follow-up on my question about the commentary that I felt was overlooked. Since you're so deep into the Association, with guys like Pau Gasol well established (is he even in the league anymore), are they still laughing about how they acquired him from the Memphis Grizzlies? Is there no fluffy commentary at all that far down the road, and it's all replaced with NBA Today-driven commentary?
I saw you said you'd follow up as you got further on this second question, but I just figured I'd reword it again also: do the generated players get commentary like the regular players, or are they pretty much generic set pieces on the court in the commentary?
Thirdly, do happenings in the season ever get brought up by the NBA Today? It might be hard to notice this, but here's a few examples:
1. Greg Oden gets traded for Kevin Martin. Two days later you play against the Blazers, it's their first game at home. Is any of this brought up and, even more unlikely, do Kevin or Clark have any opinions on it?
2. Stephen Jackson and Azubuike are traded for, I don't know, a pick and Dampier or something. That same night or the next night you're playing an unrelated game; we've seen that Kevin goes over scores from the last night's games, but will he break down big trades? And again, will either of them have any thoughts on those trades?
3. In one of Pared's videos, Clark talks about Brook Lopez being in strong consideration for the Rookie of the Year last year, having a bright year ahead of him, so on and so forth. This is another good example in two ways: 1, will this commentary be gone after the first season? And if some other second-year center or power forward is in a similar situation later, can we expect Clark to point it out? Or is that special commentary reserved for Lopez's 2009-2010 season?
Sorry for the stack of text, and thanks for all the info so far
