shotsports.com/featuresHere are a list o current features. A new game is in development. The reason I never tried to use jumpshot is that the html is pretty bad. Im considering buying the new version when it comes out and seeing if we can start a new league and switch over. Obviously the main reason why is that the game has more features. Including more teams, etc. I think FBB is kinda played out so a new game engine might bring more activity. * Season Import Functions – Import an entire past season using basketball stats available on the internet. Play classic seasons. * Rookie Draft Files – Import draft files from any season. Edit the rookies to your liking. Easily create rookie files in excel or notepad. You can enter the college stats and let the game do the rest. * HTML Web Reports – View the player stats in your browser. Create your own team page or run a complete league complete with pages for all teams and players * Finances – Generate revenue by building an arena, setting ticket prices or moving to a new city. Build the most profitable team in the basketball business and gain the advantage. * Free Agency – Compete with other teams for free agent talent. Featuring NBA style cap rules. * Career Play – Begin the Basketball dynasty. Players age, improve and decline at different rates. Draft that rookie you need to help put you over the top. * Staff Hiring Period – Compete for Scouts, Coaches and General Managers that age, retire, resign, and switch teams. * Control anywhere from 1 to 32 teams – Coach the games or control the off court decisions. * Trades – Select up to up to five players or draft picks a side. Accept trade proposals from a crafty computer GM. Each with their own strengths and weaknesses. Put players on the trading block. * Players, contracts, teams, and schedules – Complete basketball stats, ratings and schedules allow you to recreate and create basketball history. * Player editor – Make all the changes you want or create brand new players. * League editor – Design your own league complete with your own divisions and playoff format. A complete draft module allows you to compete with other GM’s in hopes of putting together your dream team. Create a fictional basketball player universe or expand your current league. * Complete Stats – Includes unique stats you won’t find anywhere else. Featuring our exclusive true ratings that estimate a players true value to the team by the number of wins gained when in the lineup. * Realistic Results – All the basketball statistics and ratings are combined in the game to give your players and teams very realistic results. But be warned, try to take a player like Kerr off the old Bulls and notice how he struggles more without the benefit of teammates creating shots for him. * Make all the calls – Go to your go to guy down the stretch or double team your opponents main player. Just be aware of your choices. Trying to double Shaq with Lebron on the court could mean a loss. Call a players number too much on offense and the shot opportunities will dwindle. * Depth charts – Set the game strategy at each position and let your assistant computer coach handle the game substitutions. Your players get the minutes they deserve. * Save Game Results – Save or print boxscores and play by play logs for every team in a league. * Complete Career Statistics – Track complete statistics and awards for every player that has appeared in the game. * Playoffs – Defense goes up a notch, teams shorten their bench as they play for the ring. Complete statistics and records are saved.Some interesting features that could make a league more fun.

FBB leagues work because of the simplicity of the engine. This looks really complicated and not so user friendly.

Ive been in JSB leagues in the past, I hated it. Maybe a updated version could be better but I hated this one.

At this point I personally wouldn't be up for learning new software and having to start over. It's part of the reason I'm worried about the new BBSBL. I don't really have the time or interest to learn OOTP8 right now which sucks. I think that'd happen with a new sim engine with BBS (for me personally, not necessarily the league as a whole).

I think you'd deal with it for BBS, imo

yeah thats why I think Spencer should find some new GMs.. these guys that don't want to do something new because "it's going to take time to learn something new so let's just stick to the same old shit day after day" are what's holding back this league.
Jumpshot allows any amount of teams up to 32 you want so if we have to make a 20-24 or so team league I'm down for it.

What hold back the league is guys like you that don't give a fuck about their rosters and sit on their nothing teams. You have no ground to complain about other guys. If every guy that joined this league tanked for three years and made no deals, we'd be better off? You never even make any team-related posts around here.
The league is great. If you don't like it, you should quit. A lot of guys care a lot about the league. More than Spence thinks, IMO. The posting is down lately, but we just got a 2000 post thread in like record time. Tiger has been a great addition, and Pig seems like he's being more active. I don't see a need to switch to some shitty program. I mean, if there were an upgrade out there, fine, but I'm looking at this program and it's just fucking miserable all around.
If this is what Spence feels like he should do because he's not thrilled with the way things are going, fine. But I'm really not interested in being apart of it unless the new version is about 100x better than the current one.

But I'm really not interested in being apart of it unless the new version is about 100x better than the current one. So by your methodology I should just trade to trade ala Skillz without regard to talent I am receiving back? Yeah that makes sense. Who are you to know what I do or don't do with my team? I don't make any team related posts? Did I not make an entire thread questioning the value of Marcus Hayes over Sam Smith? Trade blocks have been out there, and guess what I get all of 2 replies to each block. So you tell me... Pat Riley has been out there forever, some teams have come asking for him but nothing so far has warranted me trading him. I don't have the contracts to trade away Rudy T and Adelman and build a contending team, I just don't have the pieces right now. I'm not going to trade away my young talent to be some mediocre playoff team that will never win a championship. Wow, the post pad thread was done in record time that's because there was some incentive involved half the people who posted in that thread didn't post like in months. People post articles and they get like 5 or 6 replies tops, there is no motivation in this league, just because you "care about" a league doesn't mean anything. You need to show it, come up with stuff. You and Mark might like the same monotonous thing to occur over and over but the majority of us want something new and creative done. That's why I stick around. I don't get why people hate change, change has always produced activity. It's never a negative.

and you guys do not even show a willingness to try.
Not one person has said yeah this is the way it's going to be where going to use JSB no matter what as soon as the new version comes out, no. Some of us are just saying that if this program is actually much better than FBB, regardless if it's going to take some time to learn or not, it'd be worth switching.
Obviously, if the new engine is still as bad as the original there is no reason for the switch.

Jumpshot allows any amount of teams up to 32 you want so if we have to make a 20-24 or so team league I'm down for it. Hahahaha yeah I'm holding the league back. I just won the title three weeks ago and during my recent inactive spell due to school I'm sure I've posted more times than you have. And how is that what is holding the league back? Spence presented this idea earlier today. It's not a matter of not WANTING to learn a new system, it's a matter of hardly having enough time to keep up with the CURRENT system let alone spend time on a new one. What an idiot. Yeah, get rid of me, Aaron, Nanz, Dan, Nova, Blue, and whoever else I saw you mention in a post yesterday, cut the league to 20-24 teams, and take on new software. Good luck with that fucking horrible idea Martinez. If Spence wants to try something new, it is his league. I personally don't think a new software would do anything positive other than lose some people who wouldn't be into it, but who knows.

I personally don't think a new software would do anything positive other than lose some people who wouldn't be into it, but who knows. Why do you always get so defensive? There must be a reason why you feel the need to get all riled up. You stated that you didn't want to learn a new system because it takes to much time? Right and I really highly doubt you've posted more times than me. You don't need to learn anything with the current system so why would you have a hard time keeping up with it? Everyone talks about championships and successful teams as a means of talking about activity. What does that have to do with anything? I don't care that you won a title, or post a DC every day. Those things are nice but they're boring, monotonous. Anyone can take 2 mins and post a dc. Check a few results and make a boring post that no one but yourself bothers to read. This league doesn't have articles any more, or people that even care to do creative things. So you guys lash out, like you just did, when I bring up certain ideas.

The only relevant point you just made is that you actually have posted more than me in the last month, I just checked.
I got defensive because you make these idiotic comments (saw you make one in the post pad yesterday) as if you are the pinnacle of activity in this league. You don't do a thing and are hardly in any position to call anyone out. You act as though I've stopped posting. I've posted 500 times in the last 35 days. I'd be surprised if that isn't top-10, and that's without posting much at all since my mid-terms started.
"You don't need to learn anything with the current system so why would you have a hard time keeping up with it?"
I'm busy with school right now so it's hard to keep up with BBS. It'd be ten times harder to keep up with the league if I had to learn a new system. I thought that was pretty clear from what I wrote. Not sure how you missed that. I'm not at the computer that much right now so I'm not on the site that much right now.

1. JBS looks horrible, eew
2. Marty should just leave. Jesus, STFU. You've done absolutely nothing and it's completely amazing to me that spence keeps letting you back in and you keep doing nothing. You have not made one trade. Your team is horrible. You post more in off topic than in things regarding to the league. Sam Smith is still better than Marcus Hayes too.
