in4trance: is not awfully raw
Hernando Courtright: mlb 2k7, pretty solid
in4trance: Redd is shooting nearly 50 from the field and 46 from 3pt
scottvikings04: i don't think redd is in the position to be a 3rd option quite yet
in4trance: thats not raw
in4trance: re-read those numbers
in4trance: and come back to me
in4trance: lol
scottvikings04: ok you're right there

in4trance: Pace: Very Slow
in4trance: Focus : Outside
in4trance: Trap: Never
in4trance: PRess: Never
in4trance: well there you go
in4trance: he doesnt play any fucking D
scottvikings04: DC is pretty normal.......very slow is the only "questionable" thing
SPIRITireland: I dont see how you run a Very Slow offense with 3 guards
in4trance: exactly
SPIRITireland: I called him out on that too
scottvikings04: very slow is actually a good thing for his team i think
The Duuuuuce: honestly
The Duuuuuce: yeah
The Duuuuuce: i think so too
scottvikings04: with only 3 true scorers, you want to move the ball around to one of those 3
in4trance: thats bull
scottvikings04: if you have 5 good scorers, go ahead and use very fast b/c you know that anyone with the ball can score
in4trance: i want spence to try his team
in4trance: with a very fast pace
in4trance: trap: sometimes
in4trance: and press: often
in4trance: and watch him atleast .500
scottvikings04: he doesn't have any defense on the wings, why would you press/trap?
SPIRITireland: Well Duuce and Scott he hasnt seemed to be winning with that pace
SPIRITireland: So I dont know how good it could be
in4trance: ^
in4trance: when I see spence i'm going to ask him to try that
in4trance: exactly what I said
in4trance: and watch his team win games
in4trance: i might make some boneheaded trades... but i make my playoff teams via DC
11:50 PM
scottvikings04: well if he has his own pick....i think he has the best lineup out there, but he's also content if he loses
in4trance: the fact is
in4trance: next season
in4trance: his team is going to kill
in4trance: and thats the year i have his fucking pick
in4trance: unbelievable
scottvikings04: yea, he'll make quite a few changes to his DC since he'll feel a need to win
SPIRITireland: Its gonna be interesting to note what he does
in4trance: im going to say this too
scottvikings04: you can't call what he's doing right now tanking though
in4trance: i think Reilly, DJ, and Spence cheapen the league a bit.. spence not so much in the new BBS
in4trance: but in the old BBS yeah
SPIRITireland: Past couple weeks who have been winners and who have been the losers?
scottvikings04: how does reilly cheapen the league?
The Duuuuuce: i think the expectations are a little bit out of hand considering he has SL aged 24-20-22-21-19
in4trance: not his fault...
Hernando Courtright: but its 4 top 5 picks?
in4trance: but who the fuck trades him 20 picks the year Jordan, Olajuwaon, barkley and all that come out?
scottvikings04: exactly....i think it should be more of "anyone who makes a bad trade with reilly" lol
Hernando Courtright: well... he did that like 8 seasons before the draft
scottvikings04: i traded him my pick that year....but i did get a pick back in 2024 (the year i was loading up on, the KG draft)
in4trance: i hate that so much
Hernando Courtright: i remember when i came into the league (2011 i think)
in4trance: no one cares about winning anymore
Hernando Courtright: i was like, im gonna try to get some 2013 picks for jordan
Hernando Courtright: and he was like haha good luck with that
Hernando Courtright: and then i saw the traded picks
Hernando Courtright: and he had almost all of them
in4trance: loll
Hernando Courtright: and he told me he had been doing it for a bunch of seasons
Hernando Courtright: he would just ask for that extra 2013 pick
in4trance: im definently the biggest loser in the past couple of weeks..
in4trance: i went from playoff team
Hernando Courtright: and gms would give it to him cause it was so far away
in4trance: to fucking lotto out of nowhere
in4trance: and i dont know how
SPIRITireland: I think Bizzle was a big winner
scottvikings04: alright guys, i'm outta here for the night......later on
in4trance: and on top of it all i cant deal Brandon or Stojakovic
SPIRITireland: I think Basone was a Big Lose
SPIRITireland: r
The Duuuuuce: gotta agree
The Duuuuuce: with both
The Duuuuuce: but dans my boy
The Duuuuuce: still
in4trance: dave is still sitting at the #4 spot
in4trance: i went from 6th seed
in4trance: to damn near worst team
in4trance: in the matter of two weeks
in4trance: and i did nothing
scottvikings04: chris, leave me a PM about what it may take to trade for peja....not sure how interested i'm in, but it's just something i've noticed before i'm going to bed here
11:55 PM
in4trance: np... fyi
SPIRITireland: If Basone dosent resign nash, hes gonna be sittin on Shits Creek with no paddles
in4trance: i got offered like two picks.. and a nice young player for him
SPIRITireland: he has no picks for a long time
The Duuuuuce: shits creek with no paddles
The Duuuuuce: never heard that before
scottvikings04: not sure if i'll be interested then....if so, i'll leave ya a PM tomorrow
in4trance: joe johnson will be very nice though
in4trance: ij
in4trance: ok scott
scottvikings04 has left this chat.
in4trance: and if he maxes out Nash
in4trance: he's got em signed
SPIRITireland: Do you think Spence telling him he needed a PF badly when he made the Artest trade caused him to react to quickly going for Lafrentz.
in4trance: i think when spence gives you advice you take it
The Duuuuuce: eh maybe, but i also believe he liked lafrentz a lot
in4trance: lafrentz is solid though
SPIRITireland: Agreed
in4trance: not worth what he paid for him
in4trance: overpaid
in4trance: but solid nonetheless.
in4trance: im sure if he moved Raef to PF his defense goes from A- to A
in4trance: like Miles went from B+ to A when i moved him to SF
in4trance: er rather C+ to B
in4trance: same shit
SPIRITireland: Miles should have never been at PF in the first place.
in4trance: that's what i dont get
in4trance: spence tells me never to move a player from his "natural" position because he wont "evolve" right
12:00 AM
in4trance: yet he had miles at PF when he traded him to me
Hernando Courtright: heres a question i have
in4trance: i found this out when i wanted to list Dirk at PF instead of SF and he said not to
SPIRITireland: Shoot
Hernando Courtright: lets say i have a guy who is A at defense at SG
Hernando Courtright: and when i change him to be sf, he goes to B+
in4trance: that means his natural position is at SG
The Duuuuuce: i really dont agree with that logic
Hernando Courtright: if i have him listed as a sg, but on my DC i put him as a SF, does he have A or B+
in4trance: A
in4trance: i believe
Hernando Courtright: interesting
in4trance: there's no logic to it duce... that's just how FBB works
in4trance: im pretty sure it works that way garf... im not 100% positive though
SPIRITireland: I dont like the abilitiy of not running a zone defense in FBB
The Duuuuuce: well, we all have our views on it, i think a lot more goes into it than defense though
in4trance: i heard theres an updated version of FBB coming out
Hernando Courtright: ya
Hernando Courtright: i actually saw it the other day
Hernando Courtright: compltely randomly
in4trance: any timetable on it?
Hernando Courtright: ill see if i can find the website
Hernando Courtright: hold
in4trance: i dont give a shit who has what on their team
in4trance: if theres a new version out we need to start over
Hernando Courtright:
www.greydogsoftware.com/fbb/in4trance: coming in 2007..
in4trance: just for information
in4trance: so who knows..
in4trance: cig break brb
SPIRITireland: have a dip
12:05 AM
The Duuuuuce: hopefully there's a roster converting system tho
The Duuuuuce: so we can switch and still maintain the current league
SPIRITireland: any clue on the new updates that will be in?
Hernando Courtright: im sure youll be able to import the league file
Hernando Courtright: itll probably be the same format of file
The Duuuuuce: word yea
gmgreggor: if it's anything like the baseball sims though it imports differently
gmgreggor: thats where my experience lies, some guys will be better,some worse
The Duuuuuce: oh thats kinda sketch then, we'd prolly have to start over lol
SPIRITireland: The biggest difference in the new game is increased customization. The majority of this code is done. The basic idea is to allow the user to create the league that they want rather than following some cookie cutter setup.
SPIRITireland: Right now I'm working from my list of things that I would like to see added while monitoring the forums for any other ideas that I can include.
gmgreggor: may not, I dunno, just in baseball sims you have some variances
SPIRITireland: Basically the plan is to get most of the code done and then finish off the smaller details while we are working on updating the interface. I'm sure we'll start posting some screen shots as they become available.
The Duuuuuce: cool
SPIRITireland: very interesting right here
SPIRITireland: Basically the goal is to give you the flexibility to create a whole new league from scratch if you wanted. This means team names, logos, cities, and arenas can be changed.
SPIRITireland: The league size will be able to handle a range of teams rather than making you choose from a set list. Another option I’m looking at is giving the user the chance to make the selections for all star weekend.
The Duuuuuce: couldnt we change team names, cities before tho
SPIRITireland: yeah
SPIRITireland: and leagues could have around 40 teams
12:10 AM
The Duuuuuce: thats insane tho
SPIRITireland: heres an answer to your question though
SPIRITireland: I’d like to make it possible to import old leagues though in some way to help all the old FBB leagues out there though.
Hernando Courtright: nie
Hernando Courtright: nice
The Duuuuuce: interesting
in4trance: id like to see the ability to monitor a players minutes
The Duuuuuce: thats a good idea
in4trance: and be able to play certain guys in certain quarters
in4trance: also... find some way to make draft picks more valuable
Hernando Courtright: imagine if we could just do the sims online
in4trance: i think its terrible that 1sts aren't valued if they arent lotto
Hernando Courtright: to insure not fraud
Hernando Courtright: and so spence wouldnt need to input all of our dcs
in4trance: that would be sick
in4trance: aren't you able to that with like NBA2k6 online leagues or something?
gmgreggor: I'd like that, to be able to do DC and all myself,
SPIRITireland: FBB is ancient to the competition though
12:15 AM
SPIRITireland: TPB and JumpStart are better on many levels
gmgreggor: Why are rookies rated so low? In real NBA if a guy can play he can play pretty much by 3rd yr
in4trance: then why aren't they used more than FBB?
SPIRITireland: GM's are different
in4trance: agreed greg... i hate the fact that i have a ton of draft picks.. and no one cares for them
SPIRITireland: There are GM's you never ever heard of
SPIRITireland: who only do TPB
The Duuuuuce: i dunno what tpb and jumpstart are but if they're better then wtf are we doin playin this
SPIRITireland: JumpStarts way to complicated for the regular sim
SPIRITireland: where you control every player
SPIRITireland: instead of a team
in4trance: ive been in both leagues
SPIRITireland: And you send your own DC in
in4trance: JumpStart imo blows
SPIRITireland: I like the aspect each team has there own website for sending in DC's
SPIRITireland: Way more hands on then FBB
SPIRITireland: but i hate the rating system
The Duuuuuce: the ratings system is the most important thing tho i would assume
SPIRITireland: in TPB
SPIRITireland: they use numbers
SPIRITireland: like
SPIRITireland: 82
SPIRITireland: 88
The Duuuuuce: yea im familiar with numbers
The Duuuuuce: thanks
SPIRITireland: there is a point duce
SPIRITireland: in Jumpstart they also use numbers
SPIRITireland: but its like 8 9 10
The Duuuuuce: oh ok i see
SPIRITireland: alright
SPIRITireland: im gonna post this shit in articles
12:20 AM
SPIRITireland: seems lke were dying down
SPIRITireland: thanks for all you guys showing up
in4trance: np
gmgreggor: k,thx,later
in4trance: on one last note
