ISBA 2.0 - Reboot

Rules suggestions seem allright, and we could always do a veto an an user trade in special ocassions. Except I'd really love an 82 games schedule, makes rivalries etc. Also time for improvement if you screw up etc.

I think 58g/8min would be optimal. These 7min games suck, with a min longer scores would be more often in 60s and 70s. Top players could average easily 20 and bench players would matter more.

Regarding trades, cpu veto yes, human human no, but limit to 3 trader or sth, maybe that you cant change more that lets say 5 or 6 players from your default roster in one season.
That would give some flexibility but not too much.
Maybe also that a traded player cant be traded again unless thats a pre-arranged 3 team trade.

I agree with about everything. I'd be open to going back to 8 min quarters but I like 58 games. Less CPU games and with Vince's schedule proposal tip that should buy us another couple user games too instead of watching them sim helplessly.

My biggest beef with trades is when players get traded multiple times in a short time span. I don't necessarily think user v user trades should need approval but once someone is traded they shouldn't be able to be traded again right away. At least let there be a grace period or something. Unless you make it known from the get-go that it's a 3 team trade you're attempting.

Yup. Why wasn't this thought of before? Smh

Well it stuck in my head when you said that I have a big rotation, suited for longer games. I was looking at that and basically on 7 min I could play with 8men, theres no need to spread minutes as bench players cant get more than 2-3 min at a time in a proper game. On 8min you have like 5-6 mins of 2nd unit playing in one one piece, etc.

Im not sure how 82 games would work, everyone would have like 40-50 sim games, and player skill level wouldnt be the determining factor ar almost anyone could live on CPU SIM glory if he had a proper team.
And there would be like 7-8 games in que at every moment which seems a lot, I barely manage to play with current 3-4 games available.

^I couldn't keep up with 82 games either.

On 7 min qtrs I only play 6 or 7 guys against CPU. No reason to sit guys when they have 3 bars of health left. The only reason I sub more in user games is out of respect/common courtesy to my opponent. 8 minutes would be better. It doesn't sound like a lot but I notice a significant difference between 7 and 8.

Well most games get simulated anyhow but yeh if the active ones feel they couldnt keep up with the schedule 59 it's ok. Though on 82 its only 23 games more and the schedule varies quite a lot from 59 since its mor realistic (4 games with teams from division etc.).

As for the minutes 7 is just too little, the results are too low (and stats) and there is no dynamics in the game. I would be for even more than 8 but 8 is a minimum imo.

As for the commish I think Vince did a nice job so if all agree he could be reelected. The only other option imo is Bryan, since he is the less prone to emotional outbursts of all of us (maybe Goldie too).

Yes I thought it was 8 mins already lol. I was about to suggest 12 seeing how bad it's going

Hehe, I'm all up for 12. 11 though maybe to get realistic NBA results. I know noone else would be though.

Wonder if Paul will choose LAL again if we #reboot aka ISBA Revamped.

I could see you Bryan taking the as. coach spot in Golden State and learn under Mark Jackson.
#craxiors

I havent played one game with other than Bucks or Wizards, not counting the greatest mode to check out Petrovic.

Vince has done a wonderful job being our commish. If he's on board with a rereboot than it's all good with me. Vince is my commish....sorta rhymes.

We did 7 mins this time because I was pushing for it on the campaign trail. I do love the 7 mins against the CPU but I wish the scores and stats were a tad more realistic. At least with 8 mins you get into the 60s-70s most games. 9 minutes is the absolute most I could stomach but that could be TERRIBLE against the CPU half the time. 8 minutes seems like it would offer balance and compromise.

Noticed Paul was on the forum and hasn't chimed in yet. He's probably shaking his head at the bi-polar nature of this topic.

I'll use someone I've never used before. Maybe Clippers, Mavs, Bucks, Jazz, etc...not sure, doesn't really matter to me.

Well if you guys want ReReboot, its whatever. I'm starting up school tomorrow anyways. Won't have much time. Cavs again please.

^between school starting and your other league I imagine your available time will decrease...

Sounds like this might actually happen. I do wish to finish this season first though.

Paul is overwhelmed with new post count since his last visit. Blame Crax for that.

If everything goes well, we could start by mid next week? Only a handful will be bothered with playoffs and they could endure the double duty for a week IMO.

I'm going with the Nets ... I can't stomach losing with a good team with the Nets on ranked I noticed that I actually don't mind to loose since Im suposed too. Also I think I can make the POs with them ... Might push for a D12 trade though ...

^Probably so. By the middle of next week it probably won't even be a handful of people. It could be just 1-3 people. Whom ever gets the 8th spot in the East is likely screwed against CPU Bulls in 1st round. Same with the people who get the 6th-8th seeds in West. Might be Paul and EDC as the only ones alive after round 1. Maybe Boston.

You'll have Kris Humphries. You'll be fine IMO.

And Williams brothers.

Well as far as Im concerned we can start it tomorow. Since knowing that we will make a new OA takes some pleasure away from the old one. Most people are almost done with their games anyway. And we can finish the POs, just as well I think.

Yeh the Williams thing is ridicolous ... it's like the Dalton gang. Watched the game yesterday and the commentators were hillarious ... it was Williams passes to williams, Williams sets the screen and Williams lays it up ... And then they have the names Deshaw, Shawn, Marshon and Sheldon ...

I see im not considered as someone to pass the first round ;o... fuck this OA anyways IMO

do want another shot at Knicks tho. Thunder vs Knicks final imo

Yeah just got home from LA after the boring Clippers game. I turned on my computer (but had company) so it automatically logged me on here. but I just read the last 7 pages now.

damn, another rererererererererereboot? so there's no point of extending contracts then? we havent gone to ANY second season yet. season. playoffs. reboot. season. playoffs. reboot.

I mean, I don't mind. but just sayin. by the time we're done with this rererererereboot (3rd season) every one will be done with this game til 2k13.. so we'll never experience off-season going to a second season.

Exactly. This would be the last reboot if we actually do reboot. If there's another one, I'm out.

I'm sure the offseason is something none of us want to experience. Seeing how badly regular games vs CPU goes, imagine how terrible that's gonna be..

LOL I'm sure CPU will be fair with signing, etc.

well I guess that means NOLA are NOT gonna end up signing cp3 even though they prepared all that cap space.

I guess I'm ok with a rerererererererererereboot then.

Then give me Clippers on the rererererererereboot, then I'll bench CP3 every game.
