Nice to see the game designers cater for American audiences; having not included the fact that Argentina and Spain are currently considered "better" than the states.

Oh well, the first thing you do is take on the USA with Australia and win by 41 points.

None. Hey Mate, Let's not get personal here, I was referring to Australia as a whole(20 million people), and you are reffering to one small cuty of 69 thousand.
Also how did you know i was from New Plymouth. Did you google NPBHS?

Ok, so 3 players don't make a team. That's right. They have some other plays who know how to play. Also have another NBA player,Pops Mensah-Bonsu, who played one season at Dallas. But if you look at those 3 main players-Ben Gordon, Luol Deng and Azubuike are all damn good players.
Very guard orientated I know, but Pops Mensha-Bonsu is a 6"11 center, who provides the height.
Oh and your comment about How 3 people don't make a team-Well remember Lebron's Cavs reaching the NBA Finals-He was the only one good player, but he carried his team.
Australia should be pretty good in 2012, but you never know what England could be like. Who from Australia could guard a Deng type player or Gorden Or Azubuike. They are too quick. People rate Australian Basketball so much, but the fact is playing for the NBL is nothing, compared to the level of competetion in Europe. Everyone rates guys like Ogilvy and Mills and Bruce when all they have done is play NCAA Division 1 basketball-That's a great acheivement by Australian standards, but by Int'l standards thats nothing. ALL the rising stars from Spain, Italy, Greece,Crotia, Slovenia etc. have played in competetions in Europe which is much stronger than NCAA College Ball.
Playing College Ball doesn't mean much at International Level-No-one can argue with that.

Iran should not be rated above Australia, but if the makers of the game are basing the ratings on future potential than you gotta say England look pretty good. They could base the ratings on the amount of NBA Players
In the 2006 Commenwealth Games, England had Steve Bucknall and John Amaechi who both played NBA. In the 2012 Olympics in London the team will have Luol Deng, Ben Gordon and Kelenna Azubuike-3 quality NBA Players.

Australia are better than England now, but i doubt it they will be come 2012.
