neo_prankster Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 Preface: If this would fit better in the Pointless Realignment thread would the mods kindly move this please? Imagine you are given the keys to a newly minted sports league, any sport, and then you are tasked with picking 32 cities from this list to host teams. Here's how I would do it... New York Los Angeles Chicago Boston San Francisco Dallas Philadelphia Houston Atlanta Miami Phoenix Denver Seattle Minneapolis/St Paul Washington, DC Las Vegas New Orleans San Antonio Charlotte Milwaukee Cleveland Portland, OR Tampa Toronto (or Buffalo) Pittsburgh Detroit Indianapolis Kansas City Oklahoma City Anaheim New Jersey (or Brooklyn) Cincinnati The Fictional Story of Austus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh no I wasn't criticizing at all, this thread would be cool with justification. I just wasn't gonna list Chicago, LA, etc since they were basically implied. i also do Brooklyn in leagues too. @MichaelDanger19 | Dribbble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcj882000 Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 I actually did something like this for a hockey manager game I have, I picked 32 cities and made my own league. Some of these choices probably fly in the face of logic and reason for a hockey league, but it, it's a video game!
