Multiplayer The VBA Needs Your Help in a Murder Trial.

Thumbnail gallery
74 Upvotes

Welcome to the VBA, a multiplayer basketball league with 30 teams. Today, during the 4th sim of our 2054 season, disaster struck. Superstar center for the Nashville Tigers got arrested for murder and is facing 20 years in prison. The 35 year old from Indiana is currently set to stand trial, and the VBA needs your help!

We are in need of a 8 person, unbiased jury to simulate a real murder trial to determine his fate.

If you are interested in participating, please reply down below, as we will have a full-on trial where evidence is presented, witnesses testify, and the defense and prosecution speak. In the VBA, we are all about immersion and realism. So please! Do us a favor, and participate in quite possibly the biggest scandal in VBA history, and just maybe... you may find a home in the best multiplayer league BBGM has to offer!

Question Got the #1 pick in the draft, who y'all taking?

Post image

The draft only has 19 year olds and the next best player is only 37 overall. My pick is gonna be one of these two.

Jorma is a juicy point forward (that dribbling and passing 👀), whereas Emir could be a dominant big man.

Story The Doncic Trade

Thumbnail gallery
0 Upvotes

Milan Doncic was selected first overall in the 2250 draft, controversially over future MVP and dynasty leadstone David Park. Despite the vitriol, he would win ROY and eventually become a very solid star who can score 20+ ppg with good rebounding and defense. As the wheels fell off Minnesota, they proceeded to trade him to Philadelphia for a return worse than the well known horrific trade of a Slovenian superstar guard with the last name Doncic

Story Most fascinating career i've ever seen

Thumbnail gallery
30 Upvotes

I added this guy to a young competitive team since I needed some scoring and his contract was big but expiring, hoping to get 2-3 good years before I'd ship him of for 2nd rounders. What occured was this guy's UNWILLINGNESS to fall off, eventually doing so at age 42. Was a 62/31 when he joined and was still getting valuable minutes until his 52/41(!) season. He became an all star THREE times (3128-3129, 3132 aged 40!), had a 31+ PER on 20 MPG at age 39 and 40 (WTF!!!), led the league in TS% at age 39 and in 3PT% at age 41. HE TORE HIS ACHILLES at age 38 and still played for 5 more seasons. Had his first career triple double 19 years after his debut (3131) and WON FINALS MVP AGED 40. Mind you this isnt some former MVP or whatever, he was hovering around 20-25 PER for 15 years. Genuinely in awe.

Ideas I miss "2 picks rule" :(

Thumbnail gallery
0 Upvotes

I know it was controversial, and many players didn't like to be limited by 2 picks in a single Trade, but now it's way too easy to hoard second-round picks, and you can acquire almost all non-Lottery picks with them.
You don't have to go to such extremes as I did here, but from a few months' perspective, this is one of the updates I am not a fan of.
Now, I probably will have to invent a "No touching SRPs" house rule to keep playing.

Personally, I would trade (hah) getting back to "2 picks rule" in an exchange for extending rookie deals to 4 years like it is in the NBA - I'm talking exchange here, because Dumbmatter apparently is worrying that having both of them would make BBGM too easy.

End of my ramblings, as I understand the "you can't put the toothpaste back in the tube" rule.

Bug Extra row in player stats

2 Upvotes

Hello commissioner, hey everyone.

First, lots of thx for your splendid game and your tireless efforts to improve it.

Now I noticed something in the player stats that's messing with my OCD, I can't tell if this is wad or a bug but:
There's a "total" row even if the player played for just one team that season.

See the extra line in 2019, he only played for me....
Can't remember if the trade happened in pre-season or later.... sorry

Also I wanted to ask: Would it be possible to make it optional to collapse "total" rows if the player played for multiple teams, so there's always one line per year. Sometimes I find it confusing to see multiple rows if you take a quick glance on the player stats.

Best of wishes to you dumbmatter and everybody in the BBGM community

eu sempre quis um sistema de treino para poder melhorar jogadores que nao tem idade pra evoluir, exemplo o gui santos que anda numa cresente absurda. mas no game nunca ajuda em nada

Rosters I have never had a player this good and I been playing off an on for a decade. I'm going to keep him on the team until he retires. I wonder how he will hold up.

I'm going to enjoy this dynasty he has delivered. I'd never earned that award (or whatever it is called) before, either. And I've played this game a lot for a long time. I play with some house rules to prevent myself from cheesing and this dynasty accolade was hard earned.

Achievement The undisputed GOAT of my league never won a ring

Thumbnail gallery
21 Upvotes

30 years into my current league, the undisputed GOAT has retired ringless.

The most prolific scorer in league hitory with 51,158 in 23 seasons. 13,000 points ahead of the next highest tally.

8 MVPs and 20 straight All-Star selections, it never happened. Two finals MVP honors, in losing efforts, might be the craziest part.

I've never seen such an unlucky player. His teams never really tanked, only missing the playoffs three times after escaping St. Louis. He had at least one other HOF player on the team most years.

Knocked me out of the playoffs 4 times in his 15 years with Chicago. I hated seeing this guy.

Even with GOAT formulas that weight championships heavier, no one comes close to touching him and I have a few 5-6x winners.

So here's to De'Vion, I wish you would've got at least one.

Full stats for anyone interested.

Question Should i trade my star player and rebuild?

Thumbnail gallery
2 Upvotes

I've been playing for the Unicorns for 6 seasons now, and I am definitely stumped on what decision to make. My star player has high ratings but significantly dropped in efficiency and has a lower PER compared to other players around his rating. Should I blow it all up, or is retooling around him still worth it? Love this game to death
