I was searching for some newer GMs and I saw some leagues Id never seen before. Who is in other leagues besides NBN, UOSL, and how are those leagues? Maybe on a scale from 1-10?

In my experience, sim leagues on the whole are total shit. Successful leagues have a lot to do with organization, communication and just a general appeal to the message boards. Lots of leagues lack one of those elements and don't appeal to me. I still get IMs to join leagues I would never, ever have any motivation to check. I really like FBB and the sim format, but when you get a dose of how a good league runs, it's tough enjoy other leagues. I won't be joining the next version of UOSL because it just isn't fun for me anymore at all.

Some league called legends. Also NBA v ABA. It seems like the only relatively successful sims I see are ABCA sims but I never hear good stuff about their GMs.

I used to search leagues all the time, not only for GMs but for ideas to make BBS better. Haven't felt the need to in some time, but I'm getting kind of sick of the recycled GM.

It seems like the only relatively successful sims I see are ABCA sims but I never hear good stuff about their GMs. I couldn't have had a worse experience in ABCA, and I don't think any guy in that league doubts that there is serious cheating going on. They run the league like shit; they set rules for the league that make it a chore and it definitely ruins the league's appeal. And they constantly, constantly fire GMs for dumb reasons when plenty of guys are resigning anyway. The same guys are always coming in and out of the league and nothing improves.

Ive heard the same cheating stuff. That the same guys always win and the same guys always have consistently good TCs and draft luck.

The ABCA guys are such dicks. The league was going to fold when the commish quit, so Jay offered to take over and sim. Did so for like a season, and then the creator, this guy who I've always just despised, quits the league. He gets convinced to come back because everyone worships him and he says if he's going to come back he's gonna run the league so they take the file, which I think was online or something, and just fire Jay from simming without talking to him.

LOL. I didn't know what happened, but I heard that Jay got booted from simming. Weird.

Pretty cool concept. I was looking at a lot of Greek team's rosters and history today, really enjoyed it.

Lots of cocky GMs who don't post, trading is impossible and I hate the league file. Too many of the same studs and too many of Ducky's draft classes, which I always have hated. No good teams have unique rosters and again, the activity around there sucks. So many guys oppose re-starting that I have no motivation to take part in it.

I may be only speaking for myself but it's getting kind of dull doing the same routine season after season, version after version of BBS. The college concept is a good start, but I don't know, this may only be me. I expect the hate comments to come directed at me for this, oh well.

I'm all for new ideas since I see how the cyclical nature of what we have gets dull. I always enjoy it because I just think we have a perfect league more or less, but I'd be for a new idea. I really like how ABCA is international, but they don't actually do much with international concepts or players. We could introduce more intricate stuff with markets and salary, or just come up with a different era or a different pattern of draft classes. I dunno. I don't have any complaints. I thought I might favor a re-start but I like the idea of going until at least 2020 with this league. At that point we should float a lot of new ideas out there.
