Arlie Rahn Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 This forum is to talk about Brian's new game: Fast Break Pro Basketball 3. Here's an update from Brian to kickoff the discussions: Since I mentioned it in the FBCB thread I might as well get this started. Work is progressing on the new pro game to the point where I might start having some people get involved with testing later in the month while I continue to add more stuff. The best way to currently describe the game is a cross between FBCB and Season Ticket Basketball with database that lets you start or import draft classes from any season since 1946. The other big thing right now is I'm working to make it possible to have multiple leagues running within the same game universe. Just how much the leagues interact would be up to the user but it opens up the possibility for adding European or other leagues to the game as well. Here is a basic overview for now: Advanced Customization *Multiple leagues can be active at once *League sizes ranging from 8 to 40 teams *Full customization of team and player details *Control how many teams make the playoffs and the length of each round *Optional developmental league for players *Import draft files from FBCB Historical Database *Use league structures from 1946 through 2011 with actual team movement/expansion or custom team movement/expansion *Player database allows you to start in any year 1946 or later and automatically import the actual players that entered the league each year into the draft pool. Updated Game Engine and Player ratings (FBCB Style) *Expanded player ratings give a more detailed breakdown of each player’s individual skills Expanded Options for Online Leagues *FTP support to allow you to upload league files from within the game. Updated Free Agency Period *Free agency period is extended to allow for more negotiation More available stats/information *Almanac shows detailed information about past seasons. Other *Fast sim allows automatic simulation of multiple seasons to allow you to build the league history before playing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedsRule Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 I wonder if there is anyway for this to be released in a combo pack of sorts with FBCB. That would save money and could help with the importing classes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BHK1978 Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 I might as well hand you my money over right now. I still play Season Ticket Basketball from time to time so I know this will be well worth the money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheStroke7 Posted May 12, 2012 Share Posted May 12, 2012 his is an awesome news. I checked the board yesterday after almost a year and I found this. GDS games are always great, but a GDS basketball game is awesome!!!! I want to give my 2 cents on some feature: - If it could be possible to add other league different form NBA like a EuroLeague it is massivley important to have 2 features: 1. the possibility of having various levels in a single country with promotion and demotion 2. the possibility to decide if a league use a draft or a junior team system in which (as in Europe) every team has a junior team and takes there their youngsters. - With the expansion teams it would be great to have the possibility to have an expansion draft. - I like the financial part of running a basketball team, so it would be awesome to have the ability to play with a full set of the NBA salary cap rules and even to be able to create leagues with a custom rule setting. - I am also a big fan of statistics, so the more stats we have the better it is for me. That's all for now. I am really looking foreward to this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaysin Posted May 12, 2012 Share Posted May 12, 2012 I only ever really get into basketball around play off time, but this actually sounds intriguing. I'll definitely give the demo a go when it's released. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RSA27 Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 Great news, can't wait to buy it. I am confused though why this is Fast Break Pro 3 instead of 2. I didn't realize a 2nd version had ever been released. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fredreed Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 Welcome Please do not put down wolverinestudios or the games that they make because like greydogsoftware both companies make a lot of great games for us play with. If your goning to put down wolverinestudios that's fine but please keep your negative comments to yourself and focus on posting what the subject is about. Fast break pro basketball 3 will be a great game when It comes out however like any that comes out It will likely have many bugs that need to fixed first prior to playing it. Brian has talked about it for quite a while now but we have be very patient with him like with all developers when developing a game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He didnt have a lot in his last release with FBCB 2010, and im expecting it to be more of the same this time as well. I like the rest of your post about being positive though!

Unregistered Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 Who was putting down wolverine studios? They make great games! Both me and BHK did, and I still stand for what I said. Wolverine Games decided against making a have decent editor, to allow for the community to make a good historical mod, and decided to make DLC for there game instead. I'm thankful that FBPB is coming out, and even happier that it's coming out with historical data for free. I think it's fair to bring up the comparison here, because its obvious that one of the two studios is trying to rip people off, while one is trying to just make a great game Also, GDS tends to take care of there customers and the bugs there games have, Wolverine Studios doesn't offer anything but an appology.

HansLanda11 Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 For what it's worth I am also among the folks who were dissapointed with the pro basketball game. I probably won't be purchasing any wolverine studios games in the future after feeling like I wasted my money but I do hope that they can make some mass improvements to their product and I wish them well. On a side note I'm very excited for FBB3! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BHK1978 Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 My main problem with the Wolverine Basketball game was (I am not talking about the current one but the second one.) they announced that the game was coming out in 2009 and then the game did not come out until a year later. And much like the first version of the game, the second one was riddled with bugs. Then if you complain about said bugs you have posters over there who attack you because you complained about the game. I have bought seven games from GDS and I think I have run into a bug maybe two or three times and Adam has taken care of it right away. With the Wolverine games that I own, some of them are unplayable because they have so many bugs in them. I am sorry to take this off topic but I am not sorry for having an opinion on the subject.

Vatechfan24 Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 Well back to the topic at hand! How many of you out there played/are still playing the first Fast Break Basketball game? I've always wanted to buy it but obviously now I'm going to wait for the new one. What is the best feature from the first game that you liked the most and hope it transfers over to the new version?

RatedRKO16 Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 I have a question about the game.. will we be able to human control as many/all teams if we want to? Like a commissioner mode? Sorry if this has been answered. I'm hoping so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
