I think your basic idea is good but it should be a completely different game just utilising a lot of the GE. So have a game called BuzzerBeaterCollege.

The offseason would be very big as each team tried to recruit the best high school prospects. I used to play another online college Basketball Game and this part was by far the most fun part of that game.

There shouldn't be a TL at all with players being sold instead just a list of players without a scholarship who you can try and recruit.

Players would start at age 18 or 19 and would have 4 years of eligibility with an optional 1 year of being redshirted.

Some may enter the pros early and you may lose them if they are really amazing. Don't know if that is a good feature or a bad one. Recruit a young LeBron and you may only get one season of him.

You could set your rosters the same way you do now but training would be very different. You should be able to set up to 3 different trainings a week, so maybe the PGs were getting passing training, the wingmen getting JS and the C/PF were geting rebounds.

This should require minimal work seeing as it would use most of the code and GE from regular BB and could be a new revenue stream.

Interesting?

Interesting idea but I've gotta agree with the Naker train of thought... this is just such a drastic change that it would completely alter the game, and there's no reason to make such big changes to a game that already works. As the saying goes, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it."

Maybe as others have said, this could be an idea for a separate game on a separate website but not BB.

A separate game on a separate website. Sounds really cool, the college experience of trying to form your team so it can peak in the one right season is so different from the pro experience where you just keep the same stars forever.

Some leagues may sell or cut all their draftees. Then you have a game for players in other leagues or even not in the game anymore.


i believe he like to lineup the "future" draft there, so it is something like an AllStarGame of the youth league combined with the AllStarday of the pro league, which happen at least in germany like that.
