This game is a little bit like Baseball's Diamond Daily, however it goes for the whole season and you can only use each rookie once per week.

It's one point per offensive stat, point rebound assist and most points win.

If there is interest I will start a league.

Rookie

(edited to add the little blue arrow indicating that this is a fantasy game)

This actually looks like it might be interesting because of the "once a week" factor.

Set up a league. I'll play, altho I'd venture a guess that you and I will be the only ones.

I'm going to assume JG will also.

I'm at school right now, I'll get home around 7:00 and make one. You have to sign up at NBA.com though, its free and takes like 2 minutes.

I'm already signed up in NBA.com, altho I forget why. :rolleyes:

But when I clicked on your link, they welcomed me.

You're signed up on NBA.com because that's where we play the vertigo-inducing playoff bracket game.

NBA playoff game maybe?

I bought a new computer so I didn't have any log in information saved but when I typed in my information nothing came up that I already had an account

Oh yeah, that one......

I wouldn't count on JG for this one, though. He barely knows the veteran players, much less the rookies.

And besides, no Uber Points (whatever they are)

I'm not promising anything -- it's bad enough I'm in 2 NBA games already. :p But at least you can make a weeks' worth of picks at a time, so we'll see.....

Edit: Y'know what? Never mind - I just managed to spend 15 seconds making my picks for the week, so I think I can handle that!

Thanks JG at least now me and plaw can go by 1st and 2nd rather than first and last :p

The league name is Gangster BB
Password: corleone

I'm in. Who's Santino 2112? That you Trish?

This game'll be tough until each team plays two or three games and we see who's getting the minutes.

yup that's me lol

Very good point.

Being that I just made this mistake I'm going to post it.

After you select your pick go to the bottom and select "enter pick" I thought I picked my guy but I never hit enter pick so it never went through.

I figure I will commish this league (Single A of commishing responsibilities until I get called up to the big times )

With that being said, does anyone object to me doing a weekly update for say the first half of the season then updating it more as the season progresses?

with work in the morning it is almost impossible for me to guarantee a daily update but I'll try.

Sounds good. There are only 3 of us anyway (cuz everyone else is a WUSS apparently!) so weekly is fine... it's not like we can't check how we're doing on our own...

You mean no daily update along with some snappy and witty comments? :rolleyes:

You'll never make the big time that way. :p

This site gets the award for being the earliest with the official scores posted.

I'll save you all the trouble....everyone had Chris Paul (25) last night.

Let me guess... we all had Bogut...? :p

well no lol

Thursday

For some reason, I can't seem to access my picks

The link DM provided doesn't work for me anymore. Before, when I clicked on it, I was "welcomed", etc., and my team was right there.

Now, when I try the link, I'm no longer signed in. I tried my old login and waht I thought my password was, and that didn't work, so I did "forgot password".

They sent me a new one, and that doesn't work on this site, either. Can't log in.

However, yesterday I purchased the NBA.com audio feed of all the games ($19.95 for the season).

When I log into that with my new password it works, and then when I go to the site for the rookie game, it shows me as logged in, but I still can't access my team/picks in our league.

I'm confused....

Weird. Mine's working just fine. Try clearing your Cookies and Cache and see if that helps...

FWIW - This is the link I have bookmarked:
http://nba.com/webAction?actionId=rookiePick
(I'm always logged in)

Ugh, I just changed my pick for today - will probably cost me my perfect score.

When I use that link, it shows me logged in, but with no points and not in any league. In effect, not in the game.

How do I clear my cookies and caches and all that other good stuff?

Tools > Internet Options... >

1) "Delete Cookies..." button
2) "Delete Files..." button

Then close your browser and reopen it.

Hopefully that'll help. Tho you may have to log in again...

Very weird.

I did what you said, the went to the rookie game front page.

I tried logging in and couldn't.

Then I went to the shortcut on my dektop that i created last night for the NBA.com audio thing, and it allowed me to log in with the same user name and password that the rookie game didn't recognize.

But you still can't get into the game??

Wait, are you talking about the "FAN CENTER" log-in page ? I can never get into that, either (to update my profile) - it says I'm logged in, but never gets beyond the log-in screen.

But I can get to the game just fine...
Here's also the official front page for the game:
http://www.nba.com/fantasy/rookies2005/rookiepick.jsp

Still can't get in.

using yourlink, it says "welcome paul blah blah blah", but doesn't gibe me a link to our league.

It just invites me to join or create a league.

As I said, I can join our league again with a different team name, but when I search for our league and then click on my team name, all it does is show me what it shows me when I click on your team or DM's.

Like I'm looking at someone else's team...can't make any picks or anything.

Well, the first thing I would do is tell them and hopefully you'll get a response.

You did make picks for the rest of the week, right?

WEIRD - I was logged in with my email address, and could never access my profile. I just logged out to see if I could log back in (the chance I took to explore this issue), and decided to try my user name instead - and now I can go into my profile no problem. WTF? So - try the alternate log-in and see what happens. If you were using your email address, try your username - or vice versa...

Tried all that already.

I did make my picks for the rest of the week, but I wanted to review them.

Here's what I did, since I wanted to review my picks after seeing who was playing and getting minutes, etc.

The first 3 days I had Paul (25), Villanueva (17), and Simeon (0).

I picked 3 different guys for tonite, Sat, and Sun, so that's no problem.

I'm just gonna use my new team, paul 2650, from here on in, so we just have to remember to add 42 points to my score.

It's a good thing this league has a good commish that will be able to keep up with all of this :rolleyes:

WTF is this, I made my pick last night and now its showing up as no body picked

JG did you have this problem
