There really isn't a "main skill" in BB.


I mean main skills, where have these behemots inside a passing, FT, driving etc?

should be junior NT only about behemots?

If you don't get the bonus for winning the championship now, you should (for one season) only have to give the percentage to the players union as if you were still in the same division.

So if a 2nd division team wins the champ'ship now, next season he'll only lose 25% of the arena income... This is necessary to be able to compete with the established teams in the first division...

Otherwise it's better to stay where you are for another season...

but as I'm not going to be the champ... it won't be a problem for me...I'll only earn 25% (and 300 000 TV money) less next season

cheers,

I don't think the answer is to speed up the "end of the game." Players will eventually reach their peaks and decline, it is only seaosn 6, give it 4 more and you will see what they had been reaching for this whole time.


Right now, players don't start to decline until they hit 32 or 33. That's too old in my opinion. This basically means that you can buy a gifted 18 yr old draft and train him to god status and stop training him at around 23-24. Then you have a "god" for 8 seasons or almost 2 real life years. That sure gives them a lot of time to train / buy other "godlike" players. It also allows people to pile up the money because they rarely have to replace players.

It would also be more realistic for players to start slowly declining when they hit 28-29. How many 32/33 yr olds do you see who are still as good as when they were 27/28?

Anyhow, that's just my opinion.

what about kevin garnett (32) and ray allen (33)? or jason kidd (35)? steve nash won his secon mvp-trophy when he was 32.

my point is:
if you want bb to be realistic, then its ok if skill-drops start around 33, because in real life players usually are best around the age of 30.
but, since this is a game and not reality, it might be a considerable idea to make declining start earlier, even if i wouldn't like it... :)

I expect the potential caps will take care of the god-like problems and the idea is probably to have players with great skills instead of crappy ones.

Kevin Garnett - His minutes per game dropped last season after being pretty consistent through his career... And his average rpg and apg have been slowly dropping the last 3 seasons

Ray Allen - His PPG dropped to 17 last season after being pretty consistent over his career at 23-25. You have an argument here.

Jason Kidd - His PPG have dropped steadily since his career high of 18.7 in 2002-2003. Still, another good argument.

I don't really know basketball that well, so you may be right.

Keving Garnett's performance this season has been consistent with his best seasons, on a per 48 minutes basis. The same is valid for Ray Allen and Paul Pierce. The drop in their production is not related to skill decline.

In real basketball, statistics are not always an accurate measure of how good someone is.

Once I scored a basket that still makes me laugh.

I´m agree with "kozlodoev", we must also consider that in the case of Kevin Garnett and Ray Allen they are playing together (with Paul Pierce) in the same team.

I mean, they are 3 superstars so all their carrers they play "alone" in their teams, now they´re together and it's normal to share their minutes because they no longer have to "lead the team to shoulder" because they share their rightful roles in the game.

I think that those new changes are not really fare for a team like mine that won 2 chanmionships in 2 years and who now plays in french D.II
I've been asking for a financial aid for those who go in a higher division for two years and i've always been said that it will never happen in BB. And now it's going to happen...
My tean went from D.IV to D.II in two season and the economy as been a hard issue for a team like mine because of a really low number of supporter, which mean low attendance.
But the bigger problem is that the players are going to take 25% more. It was said few weeks ago that the salary won't go up anymore, and now thay all grow up of 25%. You can call it as you want, it is a salary update of 25%.
please, be coherent and stop changing your mind every two or three weeks, it is becomming hard to follow.
One thin g is sure, for a team like mine, those changes are a big disvantages because i don't see how i'm supposed to pay my players next year.
Please, think to it two times before killing teams like mine.

yeah mate.
I made it from IV to I in straight seasons, when I get here, and expect to finally make some money, here comes changes.
But I've been able to grow without it, so I should probably be better off than those who got used to it.
Just one thing, though: if it were a 25% raise (or 40% in my case), we would be way better off. Considering I make 280k a game, and have a payroll of 150k for players, the bite of 112k on my game income represents not a 40% raise, but a 75% one, if we were to compare it with salaries.
