You do a really good job, but I just really prefer fake players to retro. I'm not going to go through the details of my argument again, but I just fear that I'll lose interest when we go retro which would just suck. Well it is my challenge to win over those who don't like retro. And once again, it will be.... me FTW Eggers bros ftw |

Once again, you dont know who is gonna be a stud and who isnt. Who wouldve thought that Q would be better then TMac in this version? Its just such an obviously bad argument. You said yourself the studs will be studs, meaning whose good in real life will be good in the sim, just some might be better then others. That still means you know whose going to be good....even if the degrees of studness are different. I dont understand your argument. It is impossible to kno who will be studly and who wont because even if I try and make exact replicas of real NBA players the game will take them in different directions. I just dont see the problem and dont udnerstand your argument. |

Was it annoying that T-Mac and Pierce were going to be studs but the degrees of their studness were different? I mean, I enjoyed BBS more once we caught up to real time, but I did still enjoy it at that point too. I see what your saying though, you do make a good point. |

Aaron FTW. Did T-Mac end a season with you or did you panick at 35-3 and deal him for Iverson?  I kept him that season, right? I gave Outlawz Shaq and Billups or some shit. |

Was it annoying that T-Mac and Pierce were going to be studs but the degrees of their studness were different? Thats the other thing. I mean if you have Durant and hes just a little bit less studly then he was it changes everything. I mean there is such a huge difference between Durant and someone else. I mean that difference in studliness is huge when it comes to making a team and having that team compete. |

If it's based off real life and how they were in their careers, doesn't that kind of make it predictale? I guess my question is, how different will they be from real life? I mean when we first started, yeah to an extent people were based off real life, but for example JRich had very different ratings then he would have if it were representative of real life. If that's how you're gonna do it for retro then that'll be fine. It's just a concern of mine, because I've tried several retros, and have never had a good experience with them. Obviously, none of them touch BBS or you as a commish, it's just something I'm not completely comfortable with at this point. Hopefully I'm wrong though. |

Richardsons ratings started off much like his RL abilities. FBB takes it other places. Rick Barry will be a stud, because I loved his game. hes the #1 pick in 2025 for sure. But I have no idea how he'll sim and I already have an idea about his ratings and potential |

If I've never enjoyed it in the past why would that suddenly change? Plus, the only other league I'm in right now is UOSLR. It'll really suck when both of my leagues are retro. |

I did some investigating. First, I realized Spence was gay when he called Band a "wonderful free throw shooter". More importantly, though, I realized that Band started with high mid-range, got a +8 to his threes and didn't jump to A, so he must be around 90 mid-range and 5 from 3.
