Vote.
Basically my plan has been to do GM players until 2020 and then go retro. This would be answer 2. The GM players seem to bring a ton of interest, so doing them for the foreseeable future seems popular. That is answer 1.

This also doesn't mean I wont go retro at some point in the future. Id like this league to go into the 2050's at least.

I think maybe we could go a little longer making our own draftees but i do think that we should go retro at about 2025 or so.

i like the draftees but i vote to go retro cuz that shit is fun...... the best part about it is that the league can last all the way up untill we have to create players again.... it's awesome.
In retro sometimes you'll sign a guy who sucks and sit him on your bench just cuz you liked him when you were a kid.... Like in 1982 i always had a bench spot for Jack Haley. as a kid i called him Shaq Haley.... he sucked so bad it was funny. I'd love to have a permenant IR spot for fred "the Mayor" hoiberg someday

I think it would be pretty boring just having fake players for 20 or so seasons.

retro's always suck
everyone projects how players will turn out
fake players with intriguing storylines are awesome, which is why i loved NBN 2

Well, eventually I think I will go retro. And BBS, when it was retro, was probably just as active as its ever been, so Id say that the chance of BBS going retro and it becoming stale is pretty damn unlikely.

I just think retro would be pretty damn fun. A random retro? where we don't know what draft class is next?

I also think that the sentiment that retro leagues are too predictable is just a dumb argument. Even if you know what a guys ratings are, how each player sims is more important. I mean sometimes A- C C A- A- guys can be studs, and sometimes they are mediocre. Sometimes a B B A A C Pg is a stud, sometimes hes a turnover prone whore. And for the predictability of stars, that can be fixed as well. Not too worried about that.

I personally much prefer retro. I have no interest in fake players for 20 seasons, whether there are storylines or not. It just doesn't do it for me. Retro doesn't bore me at all and it'll be amazing once we get to young Shaq, young Zo, etc.
I completely see why people like the GM prospects but I think it'll really hurt my interest if it goes on for the rest of the league.

I've just never enjoyed retros. It takes a lot of the fun out of it for me knowing how every player is gonna turn out.
Now, if you make some stars busts and some shitty players stars, that might make it different.
And really, it depends how far you go back.

Random idea. Use failed players over the last 20 or so years?
Maybe Shammond Williams and Tyus Edney battle it out for top PG. Lenny Cooke or Nikolov Tshkitishvili? Something like that could work. It's not necessarily retro, and it's not necessarily fake. It gives name recognition, and some humor to the league.
20/10 Shawn Bradley? CHEAH!

Now, if you make some stars busts and some shitty players stars, that might make it different. Once again, this doesn't make sense to me. Even if you know MJ will be good, you never know how good. Maybe Barkley will be more dominant. Maybe Hakeem. I can start players out with similar ratings and 100 potential and they turn out different. I don't get why people always have this complaint.
