So, if we want this version of BBS to last longer then 2015, I think a college league would be the best way to do it. I was curious if someone would be interested in helping me run it. it would be a computer run league that I would upload,and use the draft classes for, much like we had talked about before. I figured if I got an early start on it, we might have more of a chance of it working.

You have enough draft helpers now to use real players/names. You wouldn't have to get ratings 100% but I'd honestly prefer that but either way is fine, this just seems like a lot of effort.

I don't think it's necessary really, but it's up to you of course.

But I dont want to recycle players like NBN does. Once we get to 2015 the names will dry up. I like the idea of a College League being how we get future draft classes. |

I see your point, but it's not like anybody even really knows who the hell Marques Gates or Dre Kalo Clayton are anyway. Point is, recyled players work fine because if we didn't know otherwise I'd think they were fake, haha. It just seems easier. Plus, who doesn't love finding pictures of 8 year old boys to use in their signature? Haha. |

I thought the college league would add to the league because you could watch guys progress through college, and that would influence where you drafted people. |

I could maybe run the College League as long as it isnt to hard.

Yeah, that is certainly one advantage to having a college league. It would be cool to follow players throughout college and see who ends up developing as a pro. I think both ways have their pros and cons. |

I think both ways have their pros and cons. The College game, and the default rookie class created by FBB are usually PG heavy. So Id need to adjust that somewhat. I just like the idea of watching guys progress as HS phenoms to the Pro League. |

Yeah it sounds like a really good idea, it would be fun to watch the players progress through college and then enter the draft.

Do it. I'm tired of people either restarting, or using retro players...
Rarely is there a league that would use FBCB once they run out of players. It would be cool. Aar did it in Legends and it worked out pretty well.
