Asunto: General Talk

For those complaining about their centers making 3s....it's very rare/unusual that you see a center shoot 3's but if you look in the NBA there are few centers that defy the odds. Bargnani, Okur, and Frye are all centers that can make it rain from behind the arc. and the biggest of them all is Dirk Nowitszki.

Lost by 22pts to so far 1 of the worst team in my conference. My team shot 6/19 (31.6%) from 3. and an amazing 8/21 from free throws.
guess who's going to have a new starting lineup...?

i just had this same problem today. my opponent didn't set any substitution and 3 of his players foul out but somehow the system substitued 3 guys in for him. they ended up raping my team today!

I like the "prize money for player statistics" and how it is set up for basketball. It seems like PPm is getting better at the little things like this. I really like it. Thumbs up!

There's something about pulling crappy players that doesn't seem so terrible in basketball. Perhaps it is the fact they don't have any impact for the first few seasons

Either that or the fact that you can only play 5 players anyways, so each pull is worth relatively less.

Wouldn't that mean worth more since pulling a star means 20% of your team right there versus 10% in soccer and 4-5% in hockey?

Way I look at it. You need MORE players in soccer and hockey, and everyone wants a STAR at all positions right?

So it should (theoretically) take less time to get an entire team of stars in basketball (where you only really need 5) than it should take to fill your team with stars in hockey and soccer or even handball.

Think about it. If you get a star every 15 pulls, it would take you 225 pulls to fill out even a 3 line hockey team. It would take 165 pulls to fill your soccer team. If you play different players on offense and defense in handball, it would take you 210 to fill your team (goalies included). Even if you do fast breaks in handball, and only play 6 guys, it would take 120 pulls to fill out your team (including goalies).

In basketball, if you get a star every 15 pulls, you'll have 5 starting guys that are all stars after just 75 pulls.

Sure the players matter more because they're 1/5 of the team... but you can also only play 5 players at a time... so in that sense, they matter significantly less, because once you have 5... you don't really gain much marginal benefit from getting new star players (aside from the money you might get from selling them on the market).

Might seem like a backwards way of looking at it... but it makes sense in my head lol.

That's what I mean, if you get one good player that's a big chunk of your team. However, they're harder to come by. I have data from SA pulls from the first three sports and the average star of pulls is highest in hockey, then soccer, then handball.

Ah. See I didn't know that it was a sliding scale like that.

I thought it was standard across the sports. Well that makes sense then I guess.

Yup yup

So it looks like Height actually changes pretty quickly (at least at the beginning maybe?)

Cedric McFarland went from 183 cm to 184 cm today.

I wonder how long they grow, and how fast they grow? It'll be interesting to watch. 1 cm/10 days is pretty crazy. At that rate, he'd be 190 cm by the time he's 16.

Sold 750 tickets for today's league game at $100/each. Bumped to $150 now and will continue to see how high I can raise it before I stop selling out.

I'm really surprised to see them growing on a daily basis, that seems very quick. I'd have expected growth with C/L drop calculations etc.

me too... that's what I was figuring. I was pretty surprised when I checked the practice screen and saw the "green box" around the height stat.
