Brian Nichols Posted September 20, 2012 Author Share Posted September 20, 2012 Sorry I missed the question above about draft classes. I'll try and describe the available options. You have the automated options of fictional, historical, or FBCB import draft classes. It would also be possible to import from a user created draft file in csv format. Much of my recent work has gone into finances. In terms of finances and the cap, you can play with a hard(ish) cap, a soft cap only, or full finances has your owner set your max budget. The system for ticket prices works like it did with Season Ticket Basketball. You can set the average ticket price long with the prices for club seats and luxury suites. You'll have the option to build a new arena or to attempt to move to a new city if your proposal fails in your current city. In the overall process, here is an idea of what needs to be done: Interaction between leagues In game league editors Team exports/Imports HTML Engine Balancing I'm sure there are some steps I'm missing but this should give you a general idea.

BHK1978 Posted September 22, 2012 Share Posted September 22, 2012 Will it be possible to have a three team trade? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Nichols Posted September 22, 2012 Author Share Posted September 22, 2012 As of now there are only two team trades. I'm open to making it possible for larger trades but the complication is coming up with an interface for it that isn't super complicated with the amount of screen space available.

RA27 Posted September 22, 2012 Share Posted September 22, 2012 Thanks for the update, sounds like the game is progressing well. Can't wait to buy it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutlawIII Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 Just wanted to peek in to say that I'm really looking forward to this game. This is my first time commenting, and I'm sure there are others like me who have been silent who are patiently awaiting the release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vatechfan24 Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 Just read an article on the top Rookie of the Year candidates for this year and i immediately thought of this game and got super pumped!!! Can't wait for this game! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RatedRKO16 Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 Excited for this game! So many great things happening at GDS right now with this and TEW 2013... I might have to buy college basketball. Haven't gotten to try that out! I have a question on rules. I'm assuming there will be a "commissioner mode". Will we get to set rules like 24 second clock, foul outs at 6, etc..? Things that would impact simulation? Add a 4 point line (kind of joking here, but it would be cool).

Brian Nichols Posted September 29, 2012 Author Share Posted September 29, 2012 There is the ability to customize rules by league although I still need to add most of the options. I'd be looking at things like quarters vs halves, time per quarter/half, shot clock, max fouls. Anything that can be customized requires the AI to adjust accordingly though.

fredreed Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 Development Journal When will we be seeing some screenshots of the new game? I don't think that having more then two team trades is a bad idea since basketball isn't like baseball. The only question that I have is how many players can be traded between two teams at one time?

damonster Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 might get this game, just wondering though if you have or plan on adding NBL of Canada to the game, if no will we be able to add them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was also wondering if a team can play in more then one league every season, so that we can create euroleague or somethign like the McDonald Invitation...

Brian Nichols Posted October 1, 2012 Author Share Posted October 1, 2012 Screenshots are waiting on a decision for how much the skin will change if at all. Everything is plugged into the FBCB skin right now. might get this game, just wondering though if you have or plan on adding NBL of Canada to the game, if no will we be able to add them It will be possible to add leagues into the game and it is also possible that more leagues could be added by me with each patch. I was also wondering if a team can play in more then one league every season, so that we can create euroleague or somethign like the McDonald Invitation Right off the bat probably not. It might be something that could be added in a patch but it just depends how complicated getting the extra leagues to interact properly ends up being.

RedsRule Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 I hope you are able to make multi team trades possible. You said previously it's not implemented yet right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Nichols Posted October 2, 2012 Author Share Posted October 2, 2012 Correct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antonin Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 As a big fan of the original pro game and FBCB, I'm very happy that progress is being made on the new pro version. Multi-team trades would be nice, but if such a feature would add significantly to development time, I'd rather not see it just now. I'm eager to spend my money on the fruits of Brian's labor, the sooner the better! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yeah826 Posted October 6, 2012 Share Posted October 6, 2012 True in all honesty if multiple team trade add significantly to development time it can wait imo Im so anxious for this game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Nichols Posted October 12, 2012 Author Share Posted October 12, 2012 Today I finished up the feature that allows you to set the historical database to random debuts. This will make it so you don't know which year certain players are entering the league. Now I'm testing the code that lets you set which years each league are active.

Vatechfan24 Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 Man i can't take it anymore!!! The start of the basketball season starts today and I'm so ready to dive into this game when it comes out. Saving my money for this so i don't have to buy the other basketball game on the market. (Not that i have anything against the makers of that game and the game itself) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
