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.

I'm not sure if BB would want to give the players names before drafting as I think part of the process is not going through the naming generator until they're placed on a team, which would be a lot of work.

That being said, the stats in this youth all-star game could be the stats listed on the player's scouting (when you hover above their name with the mouse). Don't think that would be too difficult and I think having an all-star type of game between 20 of the potential draftees in the next year's draft sounds like a really cool idea, especially given the fact that the young players are so anonymous otherwise.

If we had actual names it would make the draft more exciting, we'd be like in the local league talking 'hey I want Joe Schmo, or I want the rookie game MVP' stuff like that. It would be some real hype to go with the grey and orange balls.

But even without the name, just having the stats and having seen draftee #42 play 20 mimnutes at SG versus draftee #17 would be interesting.


Yea that's exactly how I feel too; I'd like to have names but would definitely settle for the numbers playing against each other and would give more of a reason to pay attention to the draft.

You guys have gone far off topic here. An interesting but quite different idea. I still think the idea of a seperate CollegeBuzzerBeater game using 95% of the same GE and code but with a totally different feel would be awesome but it is no small undertaking.

There are so many cool things you could do and it would be so different, and yet familiar.

I would love to hear from one of the BBs if they think this idea of a totally new parallel BB game is interesting or completly impossible and worthless.

It would be very expensive just to be able to start up this new parallel BB game, so unfortunately I don't think the BBs would be able to.

It takes money to make money! But I agree that it is unlikely.

No doubt! But they probably don't make enough money on this game to warrant spending so much more to create a similar game to this one lol. However, if they do make it, I will certainly try playing it! :D
