96 is a bit too historical, would take a LOT of work, and also creates the complication of having 30 rather than 29 teams. However, I'm wondering if anyone would be interested in playing an '04 game. Basically, we create rosters from the 03-04 season and then recreate draft classes from 04 through 09. This would greatly change the landscape of the NBA. It would also make for an intersting Bobcats association because those that wanted too could treat them like the "expansion" team, and possibly hand pick their roster from any of the players who are not rated top 8 on their respective teams(because IRL every team protects 8 guys and expansion teams can pick any unprotected guys.)
My only problem is I'm not a talented CAP artist ... I wouldn't be able to make detailed player faces of historical guys. However, for 2004, most of the guys would already be in the NBA so there wouldn't be a TON of CAPs required, just the guys that have retired since then. It'd be a lot of stat editing to regress to 03-04. But if a lot of people are interested and willing to work on it, maybe we could get something off the ground.
