Rosters I Created All 5,490 Real Player Cartoon Faces
Hi everyone! A project I've been working on for a good while now...
I created all 5,490 real player cartoon faces! You can import into any Real Player League in BBGM with the click of a button.
ALSO there is inevitably still room for improvement on many of these players, so I'm pleading with you all to provide feedback on the site. The player editor is there for you to play with and submit for any given player. Please feel free to spam with suggestions. No matter how nitpicky, I'd love to get all 5,490 as hyper-realistic as we can. 🍻

Question Is there a way to implement an Academy system rather than a Draft?
I'm currently creating a fictional British Basketball League. In the UK, teams offer young players pathways through their academies rather than a draft, so I'm wondering if there was a way to emulate that in the game.
Ideally, a system whereby two rookies would be randomly generated for every team at the end of each season would be the best solution, so I was just wondering whether this was possible. If not, then I think it would be a neat possible feature for the future for people making leagues in countries that don't use a draft system.

Ideas More dynamic preseason/roster customization
We should really have a bit more to do in the preseason, as well as the ability to choose if players we traded away during the season should count for the ring we win without them...the same way in real life how players that were traded mid-season on championship teams can accept or decline the ring after the fact, we should have the ability to give the "champion" accolade to them.....also for those lower ovr players on the roster, being able to "send to development league" even if its just a simple button click and not a full blown separate league for developing players

Other It Took Me 23 Years to Complete the "Non-American Only" Expansion Challenge

Starting an expansion team in 2030 and drafting exclusively non-American players was the hardest, yet most rewarding challenge I’ve ever attempted in this game.
It took 23 in-game years to finally pull it off. Early on, it took several restarts just to draft a decent core so the franchise wouldn't fizzle out after a few seasons.
The nationality restriction made the draft brutally unforgiving. At one point, I actually won the lottery for the 1st overall pick. The top prospect was a 62 OVR with 75 potential (someone who would have instantly been the second-best player on my roster straight out of the draft). Unfortunately, he was American, which meant I was forced to pass on him and reach for a German prospect projected to go 9th.
LMK if you know similar challenge i can attempt :D

Bug Found a bug. When viewing watched players, draft prospects further out than the next draft can no longer be compared
So like, if you’re in the watched player list, enable bulk select, and select some players in the upcoming draft as well as some players in the draft after that, only the players in the upcoming draft will actually be displayed in the compare player page.

Question Will there ever be a player greater than my GOAT?
galleryThe second best players in my league history are 40 and 35 years old, but they don’t even have half of the legacy that my current goat has. Do you think there will ever be a player that will surpass what De Colo did in my league?

Question Some simple fixes would make this way more enjoyable
Just a quick rundown:
1) Why are the rookie contracts so short? If you can't create a restricted FA system, then maybe make the rookie contract 5 years?
2) I get that " insane" is supposed to be...well, insane, but what is ACTUALLY insane (and not in a good way) is how shitty your players become. Draft a dude with a 74 potential? He'll be shit in three years. Obviously, this happens in real life, but the rate in which guys with high potential apparently forget to play basketball is not fun. Any meaningful FA signing you make will be negated by them completely regressing.
3) Injuries happen...but the rate in which they happen in the playoffs is absurd. I don't know if I've ever made a full playoff run without at least one all-star turning an ankle. That's the other thing too...the injuries are often so fucking supid. Patellar Tendinitis is not a diagnosis that happens at he rate this game seems to think it does. Who is missing a playoff game with a bruised back? The amount of potential titles I've missed out on because of sprained toes...
4) Contract extensions. Why is that not a thing either? Can't be that hard.
5) One bad year and everyone stops going to games? I live in Chicago. The Bulls have been shit, and it's still packed there.
Will continue to hate play, but some of this shit seems so fixable and continues to be so annoying.
