Thus far the only for sure places I know are: Louisville (Central Division) Vegas (Pacific Division) Seattle (Northwest Division) Mexico City (Southwest Division) I need teams for the Atlantic and the Southeast divisions. Still thinking. This new expansion mode has me super pumped.

I'm pumped, too, man. I think for the Atlantic, another team in Canada. I'm strongly considering sticking one in Montreal.

For the Southeast, you could do a team in Virginia proper (like Richmond) or stick one in South Carolina (as a rival geographically for the Charlotte Hornets).

At least for me, I tend to rework the divisions (sticking Memphis in the Southeast cause they're in Tennessee), throw the Thunder to the Southwest division (that makes much more sense to me). In that case, you then need two Northwest Division teams and you don't have to worry about the Southeast.

And in the Northwest you could do Vancouver, they're right close to the state of Washington. I think it'd be pretty cool to have two former NBA cities get a franchise again.

So leagues don't ever expand? The NBA has NEVER expanded before?

Hell, the NHL just expanded into Las Vegas. How is this less sim? I swear some of you guys make 0 sense.

I don't get how giving the option to expand to 36 makes the game overall less sim? Will the league ever be 36 teams? I doubt it. But then just keep it at 30 and it will maintain its sim level.

One thing I forgot to put the the questions thread: Last year, there was the issue with the halftime highlights while playing with customized teams that had a different name than the original.

They only showed clips of the other team. I hope this will be at least fixed with the 10 default teams. Things like that may make me be one of those teams.

Darn you Trekfan...LOL....I was past the point of thinking about realignment but now you put the idea back into my head....

Thankfully I have until September 16th to make a decision.

23rd? You're waiting a full week after it comes out? I would freaking die waiting another week for this game.

Oops...I mean September 16th. And no, there is no way in the world I would wait an extra week for this game.
