It appears that WIS/FOX has no interest in simbasketball whatsoever! It actually seems that you have a plan titled "How to drive everyone out of SIMbasketball, 1st Q 2012". Is this in fact true?

Your fatigue sub-routine is a joke at best.
Your $42M OL salery cap is unacceptable, given the "What If" concept.
Rookies...your kidding right?

Suggestions
Raise the salery cap to $45M or $47M.
Wrt fatigue, give total minutes per season for a player, allow owner to use as they see fit, when minutes run out whack them with fatigue.
Rookies, get rid of them. Have them drafted @ saleries compatible with their skill level.

Lastly I suspect I've wasted my time here and this suggestion forum has a direct link to the cyber dumpster.

I'll throw in another suggestion, as hopeless as it may be.

We should have the possibility to switch between 2 or more team depth chart "setups" that we can save.  This would be helpful because we have opponents that we may want to change the depth chart against.  Also included should be def. position AND tempo.  It is very rudimentary at this time. 

Also of course would be the OT setup, which is very flawed playing starters the whole time and killing their fatigue.  and last but not least, end of game setup.

So...situational setups, which has been suggested before.

Projected depth chart in draft center is useless. Puts power forwards at shooting guard, etc.

Fix the damn thing already it hasn't worked since I've been here. Useless. You have live baseball games but you can't fix this thing? Makes you look stupid.

Do you have an example of what you're referring to? If the roster has an unusual composition of players, then the logic may struggle to put out a good depth chart.

well, just the vast majoritiy of the pbp's. in any of my leagues, i just have to read the play-by-plays. for example, terry cummings gets inserted into the no. 2 slot, or mchale gets substituted with brian taylor, even though the depth chart does not have taylor at the no. 3 slot. it's frustrating, and often leads to losses late in the game.

HOW IS THIS?

In the 1/4 AM game Larry Bird played center (he was not on the depth chart for that position to further hammer this point home he is only slated to play small forward and is not 100% to play that position) and Hot Rod Williams played small forward (he was not on the depth chart for that position either, and he is not 100% to play that position and never played there in his real life career).

What can do done to fix this from happening? This has been a reoccuring issue that really needs fixing. I know we complain a lot on the message boards, but we would really like some work to help with these annoyances. If we in the community can help please let us know what we can do to make sure that this and the other grievances that have been addressed by the community-at-large ad nauseam can be fixed.

Thank you,

Eric,

The best thing you can do is completely fill out the depth chart, even if you set target minutes to zero. For example, if you set Williams to depth 3 at center with zero minutes, he probably would have been at center in this scenario.

Essentially, the SimEngine iterates through a number of different lineup combinations and evaluates each one to find the best. But it doesn't check every possible lineup, so there may be times where it isn't optimal.

I have to set players to zero minutes for positions that are not suppose to play when there are only 4 slots and sometimes I use all the slots...so what am I supposed to do then...just deal with the daffy **** that occurs with the broken sim.  Oh it was my fault because I set my guys to play where I want them to play, but the ******* sim puts them whereever the hell they want.

**** YOU WiS

You have that backwards - WIS is f*cking us (and has been for the last couple years, hoping we'll go away quietly).

We should all do a mass protest by bombing all the baseball threads with page long posts for a week or two....;)

I'm sure we would have our posting privileges taken and the posts would be removed.  But...if we had enough of us doing it, it could have an effect.
