Brian Nichols Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 I'd expect the historical database to include data through last year and then a separate roster file for starting with rosters going into the 2012 season. Something like the Olympics is still at least another version out. The multiple league setups will need some time to get more detailed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RA27 Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 I was curious about the historic leagues. When importing real players from the past how will their athletic ability be determined. It seems relatively easy to translate actual stats to objectively create their skills, but athletic ability seems somewhat subjective. What I mean, will Michael Jordan start out his career as a freak athlete and then progressively become less athletic, and if so did you have to actually sit down and manually decide each players speed,quickness,jumping etc. for every year, or is their some kind of system you worked up to use their stats to judge athletic ability?

yeah826 Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 From what I remember of the college basketball game when you create players based off of stats on the ratings generator it gave a pretty good indication of there athletic ability. Plus in all honesty this will be the first basketball game Ive seen that will have a full historical leagues in it. Im sure with time and the version after this will be improved upon to create better stats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Nichols Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 Summer league is not currently in the game although it would be an option at some point. The past week has been very slow for development. On the 4th I had to watch one of my pets pass away unexpectedly and I had to go in this week to the dentist for the first time since the late 90s for a root canal with more work needed. While that has slowed me down, needing to pay for it may speed things up . It never hurts to have a little extra motivation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank_Vest Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 Sorry to hear about your pet, Brian. My sympathies. Wanted to say that I am a huge fan of the college game and am giddy with excitment at the prospect of playing the pro game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very sorry for your loss, pets are like family and it is awful to lose them. Ouch with though root canal too, the dentist we go to is old school so we don't get numbed besides novacaine :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Nichols Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 My dentist has done a great job so far. They offer both novacaine and nitrous. Not enough to knock you out but it definitely relaxes you during the process. When they went to start working the dental assistant asked if I wanted the gas too. I asked how much more that would cost and she said $10. I told her I absolutely wanted the gas too in that case. The first root canal is now done other than placing a crown on the tooth. I at least got in before there was a bad infection or anything like that. Just the toothache and the shooting pulses down into my jaw were bad enough. In terms of actual treatment the worst pain was actually when the dental assistant was poking around inspecting my other tooth that is partially broken. She hit a certain spot and I about jumped out of the chair. They don't think that tooth needs a root canal though. I'm going back in for a full exam tomorrow though so who knows. I just know that not feeling what I was feeling last week is worth every penny. Anyone putting off dental work, just remember that it was way cheaper to fix before it starts hurting.

RA27 Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 As someone who recently lost their dog after 12 years, and who has had painful dental work done I empathize completely. Hope you feel better soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every evening when my wife and are watching NBA TV we are constantly amazed: "He's going WHERE?? For HOW MUCH!!??" We are looking forward to the new season.

yeah826 Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 Nope not really i rather see other things than a womens league that seems more like a waste of time considering the other things that could be worked on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Nichols Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 If someone wanted to play a women's league only, it would be reasonably easy to do using alternate first name files and by adjusting the height modifiers for the player generator. Running it in the same save as the men's leagues would be more difficult. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RA27 Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 I am waiting for someone to ask if this game will be able to run a space jam-esque league where NBA superstars play against aliens bent on world conquest. On a side note, if you have time could you make it possible to run a sim league like I just mentioned above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Antonin Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 I enjoy the WNBA, but I would greatly prefer to see the game that is currently being worked on. FBB is still fun, but I'll be very happy when the new version arrives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muns Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 Thank you!! the name files are already out there as a womens mod was made for the college game. So the hard part has already been done. Petrel explains what he did in this post here as he worked hard on that mod (which was fantastic btw) http://www.fbbgames.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=30&t=8940 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jwill1225 Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 I hope players imported from FBCB are as good as the rookies the game creates. I feel like in a lot of games this is not the case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mediocre man Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 I am new to the sim basketball world, but have been playing Diamond league baseball for years.

johnloch Posted July 29, 2012 Share Posted July 29, 2012 Long time no see Brian! Brian, I'm "Honny118" from the old FBB board. I'm so excited that FBB will be coming back soon and really look forward to contribute by making historical mods (as what I did before!) after knowing that there will be a full season replay system. Will definitely cast my eyes over here everyday to check with the development progress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its my (mis)understanding that DMB is more of a replay simulation for past seasons. This game is more of a career simulation where much of the game is based around roster management and setting your team strategy. It will still be possible to coach each game if you want that sort of detail during the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
