We have all been asking for things like this for years. We’re not going to suddenly rally around the least active + most annoying user for a new campaign, especially since there are other features that 95% of us would rather WIS adds before smaller leagues.

Another idea is that you could literally do ANYTHING to become a part of our community, like join a league.

There’s one posted in the forums right now that doesn’t allow any players from the 2000s. It sounds like a league that matches most of your criteria. You should join it. You would make entrant #21/24.
Brilliant idea, dB!

Don't join in with my protest because of who is protesting. Never mind that EVERY single owner would like to see smaller leagues available, just cut off your nose to spite your face because it's me.

What could you POSSIBLY want that would be better than having leagues with fewer teams available?

I’m saying that most of us would prefer era-normalized stats (league relative eFG/TS), fixing positional effectiveness, fixing defensive ratings (a better system than a one-number rating and/or Harden not being a better defender than Laimbeer), adding a draft tool as opposed to us doing it with forum posts, showing TO% on a player card, etc over smaller leagues.

So when a user who has ZERO trust/rapport built up with the rest of us constantly complains and calls us “c*nts” for not joining into his protest when he has never joined in on ANYTHING with us, it’s pretty annoying. And I don’t know how you can’t see that.

And it’s not like even if we all did post in support that you’d get the admins to make smaller leagues, so really it doesn’t even matter if you have our support or not.

But anyway it’s the under-40 D league in the classifieds. Hope to see you there,

Solid idea about less than 24 teams, savoy

im still longing to make a league where Drazen Petrovic is MVP
Unfortunately the dopes who make these decisions here are not even working on making smaller size leagues available. I just got this back from an inquiry I made.

Hello SavoyGB,

Although there are future plans for different scheduling formats, as of right now they are not in active development. There should be some bigger news we are hoping to share in the coming weeks, and with that will likely be sharing the development timeline for features across games.

Regards,
-Chris

We have told you that this has been asked and answered a million times. This has been discussed 20+ years. It isn't going to happen.

Play or don't play. Just quit complaining.
The squeaky wheel gets the grease. If we can get 30, 40, 50 customers to all join this thread and demand options for smaller leagues they will have to do it. It's certainly not gonna happen if we stop complaining.
I have been here with various usernames since the late 90's. Tell me again everything you know. Please let me know what all of us that have been here and spent thousands of dollars are missing that you and your infinite knowledge understands.

Classic Under 40-D League (51-52 to 99-00) #73813

There are 11 teams entered and yes there are several players that I see on multiple teams but it's not overwhelming and some
of the duplicated players are having different seasons being used. All the teams so far have their own identity.

Midge had a great idea and tried doing a Banned 50/50 League where once we finished the $52 Million draft he banned the 1st 50 players and lowered the Cap to $50 million. We ran one season of it and I thought it was fantastic, I even liked it better than the $52. But we couldn't get enough people interested in it the 2nd time around so it just died.

Gee, I WONDER what can be done about a great league that doesn't have ENOUGH (24) people interested to play?

I like defense. Why would I want to play in a league with all below average defenders?

There are WAY too many points scored in this sim with good defenders.

Jfc dude get an adblocker like the rest of us did, and either play or don’t.

Would much rather have era normalization than smaller leagues. Not even close. And I really, really want smaller leagues. But keeping such a huge part of the history of the NBA out of the SIM is really a shame.

Somewhere in their description of the game they claim that they do normalize players, but I think you are right in saying that they don't. I also don't like their fatigue system at all. If a guy played only 400 minutes you should be able to play him those 400 minutes whenever you want to. You should be able to play him 40 minutes a night for 10 games if you want to.

No NBA player is gonna be fatigued for the next game because he played 12 minutes one night.

I'd also like an option to have a league with no 3 pointers. Instead they just assign a 3 pt % to every player from the eras when there were no 3 pointers.


9/2/2024 9:05 PM
Whatever. It's what we have. Join some leagues and try not to burn the bridges. Enjoy what you can. No one cares about the complaints.

So you dont understand how salary valuation and capping works, got it

I understand how it works here, but it's totally unrealistic. No NBA bench player is gonna be fatigued for the next game because he had to play 18 minutes that night because another player was injured.

The last 2-3 guys on the bench usually get their minutes in bigger clumps when other players are injured, suspended, or ejected, etc...No bench guy plays just 2 or 3 minutes every time he plays. Same problem with the baseball game. You get a right handed hitter with 192 PA to platoon and only play against lefties but he gets fatigued after playing 2 straight games. It's a really STUPID way to deal with fatigue. Even worse if you sign a starting pitcher with 46 innings and put him into the rotation for 4 or 5 starts, and he's totally fatigued after one start and catch pitch again for like 18 games.

Get it?

PS - It took me a long time to type this post because the phucking popup ads kept covering up where I was typing.

I think it might be time for you to move on to other pastures, buddy - doesn't seem like there's gonna be any pleasing you here

I am sure someone will miss you...
