Since i probly won't be doing all games live (i'll do round 1 live, and the rhino's match in round 2 for sure, and important games), thought i'd start a poll before i get simming tonight on how everyone thinks i should post the live scoring. Play by post (ie Rob's simming of OD games) [Would be good for matches that come down to the wire and stuff.]. Quarter by post (Likei did in the trial) Or just straight out the whole game at once. Geaux.
Quarter by post imo. Whole game is far too long on a whole post, and play per post will not be that intresting tbh.
I dunno how play by play would work. There would either be too many updates, or it would be pretty hard picking out the key ones.
Play by play ie Player A shoots and scores 2 - 0 Next update: Player B Shoot and scores 5 - 0 Next update Player Z shoots and misses 5 - 0 etc etc ???
-- 1st Quarter - 4:39 King James passes to Jewis. Jewis takes it from deep and nails the three. New South Wales: 25 New Zealand: 21 -- 1st Quarter - 4:25 Shizzle passes to Lightning. Lightning takes it from deep and nails the three. Passing the basketball is not exactly Shizzle's strength. New South Wales: 25 New Zealand: 24 -- 1st Quarter - 4:08 King James passes to Bron. Penetrating shot by Bron goes off the glass and in. New South Wales: 27 New Zealand: 24 -- 1st Quarter - 3:58 The Paint passes to Rogen. The inside shot by Rogen hits the board and goes in. New South Wales: 27 New Zealand: 26 -- Dempsey is subbed in for Bron by New South wales. Darts is subbed in for Lightning by New Zealand. -- 1st Quarter - 3:41 The Shot by king James bounces off the glass and out. K. James draws the personal foul. 1st foul called on Shizzle. K. James takes and misses the 1st attempt from the line. Hard bounce as King james misses the free throw. Dempsey somehow manages to get the ball off the New south Wales glass. Tipped back up and in. New South Wales: 29 New Zealand: 26
I had that a while ago but it took heaps of time to make new teams from scratch and to add players to said teams. It also didn't like it when I tried to play 2 custom teams against each other, kept freezing...every time.
I may have had a much earler version tbf. Anywho, I reckon it depends on how many spectators there are and shit. Quarter-by-quarter for the first 3 quarters and then play-by-play for the last quarter and for any overtime imo. Or do you have the free version like I did where there's only 3 quarters? >_>
I get 4 quarters fine and haven't payed for anything yet lol. That could also work though. I think any OT would have to be play by post imo.
