SSBA

Just so you guys know, it probably won't be simmed until sometime after midnight EST.

Whoa, Bods is a night hawk :)

I have a VERY difficult schedule, and would be ok with going 2-4.


The Celtics also have a hard schedule coming in. I hope their record shows it.

Same with the Lakers.

Anyteam that would face my team would have a tough schedule.. JK :D

very sorry to sound impatient, but does anyone know when Nets is gonna sim???  tonight???  maybe tomorrow morning???  just wondering if anyone is any more informed than I...

He said sometime after 12:00 est. So I assume it will be simmed soon.

I'm going to delay the sim until tomorrow to give WarriorsGM a chance to agree to the trade.

any estimated time???  can we work out trades until then???

I don't like the idea of extending the trade deadline, it takes the realism out of it. If a gm doesn't agree by the deadline, the trade should be nixed.

I completely agree, but if it is gonna wait I think we should all still be able to make trades...  It's all up to the commish though...

On another note...  I don't know if bucks-warriors-sonics GM's checked on the trade checker, but Brent Barry for Cliff Robinson doesn't work cap-wise...

Quick question, are the rosters supposed to be updated right away after the trades are processed, or do the commishs have to manually change the XL sheet (or whatever they use)?

Nope, no more trades can be submitted.  I'll allow already submitted trades to be fixed.

It happens in real life too.  That's why some trades aren't announced until hours, even a day, after the deadline.  Sometimes teams submiit proposals that don't work, then the league gives them the options.

Sometimes, the NBA even allows trades that violate rules (art long and mark bryant for kenny thomas, art long was signed within 60 days).

I'm going to give them a chance to work it out.  The decision's final.

Also, they have until 5pm today.  No more.  Even if I don't sim at 5pm, I won't accept the modified trade if it's not submitted by 5pm.

As for the rosters BullsGM, the online rosters aren't updated until I run a simulation.

While I can understand why some people like the "realism" of a hard deadline, the fact is this isn't a profession.  If it was actually realistic I'd be talking on the phone with these people instead of sending private messages back and forth  :D

It's extremely hard to have 30 people all running a team and having the same schedule.  Yesterday I was busy until about 4:30 CST and almost immediately as soon as I returned SonicsGM had to leave for the night.  

Stuff like this takes the "realism" out of the league but it's also probably a necessity.

If the commish can let the deal go through, the great.  If not, then I can deal with it.

However, I'd much rather have it done!

Thanks for the patience.

So this sim is going tonight, right?

Yup. 8)

Good. Great.

This is the make=break sim for most of us, seeing that the rosters are now SET, so this is the team you have to win a championship with.


I'm feeling pretty good about my team.

This is also a HUGE sim for my draft pick status, as the Celtics have a big sim, and the Lakers have a very tough schedule.

Also, the Wiz have a LARGE amount of games left.

All you wanna to talk about is other people's draft pick.  Get it over with, is not draft time yet. :lol:

Yeah well, the end of the season DETERMINES draft time for me ;)

I've played 58 games so far. Most people have about 22 games left, so I don't think that LARGE deserves to be capsized.  :)

is sim late? it says march the 3rd, and is 5th now and there are no scores yet? :?

it's actually the 4th here (all dates and times are EST)

And i explained that I would wait a day to run the simulation because of the mixup on the trade.

I'm actually running the sim now.

run the kings for 8:0... :D  :D

Close, Kings went 6-2.

Check-in:
http://ssba.phillyarena.net/files/check-in.htm

Even with Boozer coming back, I went 1-7.  Very nice.  Lost a critical game to the bulls and close ones to the Suns and Blazers.  Boozer just went absolutely insane towards the end of the sim though.  in 4 consecutive nights, he put up:
21/8/4
29/10/3
31/15/4
42/16/5

shame on all of you for not picking him up when he was available.

Oh yeah, Boozer with a well deserved POTW for those performances.  Emeka with his 4th consecutive rookie of the month.

And I've got the worst record in the league.  

And for the raptors, Hoffa's averaging 20 ppg again, 20.2 ppg, 9.1 rpg.

Sixers 9-1 in their last 10.

After all of the moves, the Sonics go 5-2.

Van Horn was great.  Payton was alright.  Big Z was Big Z.

I think that, with my veteran leadership, the Sonics will win at least one series in the playoffs.  Now, if only we can lock down home-court in the first round.

damn.. I went 5-3 :D

but, I think Diaw is slowly becoming the Diaw of the previous SSBA :D hopefully.. :D

i doubt it.  that diaw was insane.

Went 5-2

Not bad I suppose.

Mutombo was an absolute beast!! He had 2 games with 20 rebounds, in on he also had 6 blocks and player of the game!!!

Charlie Ward also looked good and went close to a trip-dub on a couple of occasions

Went 1-2, one of those weird 3 game sims for me.  Both losses were on the road, and both were 1 point losses :(

Sheed didn't integrate all that well yet.  I tried him at 4 this sim, I'll probably try him at 3 next sim.

lol

Diaw had 4 reounds in 12 minutes.. that was my only basis.. lol

am now 32-37  and 4 games out of the 8th playoff spot.

Collier was a good pickup, had games of:

16/9/1
18/8/1
10/5/0
4/16/2
13/17/2

not bad, and just the play i needed out of my center over the course of the season.

hopefully i can make up enough ground over the last 2 sims to make the playoffs.

want to trade him for Diaw??? :D j/k

I have to go 9-8 to get to 50 wins. It looks do-able.

4-3 for the Cavs. K-Mart is a beast.

scores&boxscore?

its up too...

Patience?

don't need any patience, everything was up when I made my post.

sac page is not up, there are no results

Yes, it is.

273    Brad Miller    C    71    30.0    14.0    10.0    2.6    1.3    1.4    1.2    .466    .768    .389

Notice the 71 games played.  Then click on team schedule, notice a box score on day 100.

You might need to re-load the page.

Damn it Nets, you're starting to pull away for the race for the worst record... Conspiracy!!  :)  :wink:

c'mon now.  I legitimately have the worst team in the league :)

nope, my page is still not up...i've reloaded couple of times and itz always brings me back to main index

Hello, Ladies. This is the GM of the HOTTEST TEAM IN SSBA speaking. Yeah, that's right, the team that went 6-0 this sim :) 7 game winning streak.

I'm now holding down the 5th playoff spot, and I LOVE IT.

I did it this sim with defense. Help 4 of the 6 teams under 90.

Greg Ostertag had a 14 pt, 20 rebound night against the Rockets.

Vince dropped 43 on the Spurs.

Big, big win against the Kings. Mihm had 30 and 12, and Daniels, my new pickup had 21 and 11.

Overall, I'm thrilled.

Oh yeah, and my draft picks...4th, 7th, 14th and 20th.

 :lol:

beat all the good teams and lose to wizards and the raptors (!!!!! another computer error...) went 6-2. disapointment...hoped to take that 1st place in west i will need that for the playoffs.
 p.s. can't belive the raptors swap me (!?!?!?!) :?

Raptors didn't swap you, they SWEPT you.

And you're talking about the 10 of the last 11 Raptors.

[/b]

whats that supose to means?

he's won 10 of his last 11 games.

My team is at 42 wins so far with 11 games left to play.  Anything below 50 wins is consider a disappointment.

And araujo is back to 20 ppg  :roll:

The Wizards had a terrible sim. I'm a half game out of 3rd overall in the East, yet I have 2 top 7 picks, and another top-15 and near lottery pick.

Brightest future? Raptors.

off course i understand that, but it doesn't mean a thing cause this is my first year sim...pointless

p.s. i will DESTROY him the next season...and the next season...and the season after that.....

Who cares if this is your first sim year? I've still won 10 of the last 11 games, and swept you.

I hope we meet for the Championship.

Not a chance in the world would I will see both of you guys in the championship game.

[/b]

well i belive the computer is run out of errors so it would be a real nice SWEEP, off course, reverse one this time


kings 4: raptors 0

kings of course, the raptors - absolute no way. but he likes to joke

I'm betting my first round pick on if your team doesn't make it to the championship game, you will blame it on computer errors again.  What else is now.  Oh yea, I think the computer made a typo, cuz I think my team got 52 wins not 42. :lol:

Of course it means a thing, we're talking about the quality of his team.  This years performance is relevant.

And, hate to burst your bubble, but you inherited a 50 win team.  The fact that you're taking them to 50 wins doesn't make you god.  You didn't take the Clippers to the championship.

no no no man, i don't have a problem losing to dallas or minny, or miami or whatever. but to be swept by the raptors? i mean, the guy didn't even want to win when the season starded... :roll:

Now we're talkin! I know it is years away... but wait and see. If this young team develops into the team I expect them to be... better watch out in a year or 3!  :lol:

Nuggets take advantage of a nice homestand and go 5-1 to enter back into the race for the last playoff spot.

The controversial KMart trade has paid off pretty well, as Ray Allen's outside touch has opened things up for this offense.  Proof of this can be found by looking at the team's 3PT%.  Before the arrival of Jesus Shuttlesworth, the team was mired in last place in this category, shooting an anemic 29%.  That is now up to 35.8%, and the team has since catapulted past 5 or so teams to climb out of this category's basement for the first time all season.

With a roster full of B potential players, things are looking bright in the Mile High City for next year, should the team falter down the stretch this year.

Best sim ever in this season so far, my team went 9-1. Finally, my team didnt disappoint me. I should have tweaked by team strategy ASAP before it all went this way. ANd the best thing of all, nobody including TD, didnt got injured.

And now I do, so I am. I made 6 trades for the future, and they happened to help me now.

Clippers are 0-10 in the last 10, keep the losses coming Bram!  :D

My dream situation would be having 2 of the top 3 picks, that probably won't happen, but having 2 out of the top 5 seems VERY likely.

I didn't realize Twan was back!

Oh wait, he went 188-0 over that stretch.

what was his winning streak?  it was definitely in the 20's.

I think he won every game except for one in the 2nd half of the season...

Sickening.  I can't believe it took us that long to catch him too.

Twan won 32 straight, I think.

haha, crazy.

still sucks we weren't able to save that league.  I really thought there were 2-3 times I was close to getting that save file.

Yeah, that would have been nice. My front court would have still been alive...man, I had an amazing team...

Wow, really??!

Damn, couldn't that dude at least try to make it a little less obvious?  Anyways, now the NetsGM has taken over the dictatorship...  jk  :)  :wink:

Yeah, he also edited his players ratings.  Both players already on his team and players he drafted (a center with the skills of chris mihm all of a sudden became shaq after he drafted him).

And you think I'm a dictatorship, this guy used to run 2 sims on one night because he felt like it.

How long was he running this league?

One season.

From day 1 of one season, halfway through the draft.  So it wasn't even an entire year.

Then we couldn't get the save file from him, so we had to start over.

I wish we could have kept Jem in this league as a GM.

He was an excellent Commish.

Was this Jem in on the scam?

Nah, Jem quit as commish right before the beginning of the season because he didn't want to do it anymore.  In fact, it was whe he sent me the old save file (from when he quit) was when we had 100% proof that the commish cheated.

No, Jem had nothing to do with the scam. Jem was our commish for the first 3 seasons of SSBA. Then life got in the way, so he handed the reigns to Twan (TFAR on RealGM), and then it went downhill from there.

RIP mr Billy Joe Blazejowski and the rest of the old Celts.  We were on the brink of a dynasty....until Twant screwed it up.

Haha, Billy Joe couldn't hold a match to Ratliff, Emeka, Darko, Joe Johnson and Jason Kidd...

You guys can argue about your frontcourt, but I had the best overall team (for the future) in the league.  4 of my 5 starters were under 23, and the team won 50 games.  I had just drafted a sg who would become a star (20 ppg scorer when I simmed the league a few years), and a good 16/10 pf.  Then I obviously had Telfair (6/1 assist to turnover ratio) and Pavel (A defense and A rebounding.

I had that TEAM fit together perfectly.  Not 5 guys looking to score.   Not 5 superstars.  I had 1 clear cut first option (Marion, also a top notch defender).   A clearly defined 2nd option (Long).  A 3rd option (Isidoro Vaughn).  Then I had my "role" players.  The "role" players were the best in the league at their roles.  Telfair as the best ballhandling pg in the game, who could also hit the 3 and play defense.  And Pavel, one of the best defenders and rebounders at the center position in the game.  Neither of them required shots.

Man, that team was nice.

Are you kidding me? I won 52 games, and I had Wright, Emeka, Darko as a young f/c, avg age 24, all locked up.

Then I had vet PG Kidd, when you NEED a vet PG, and defensive genius JJ.

My bench could have beat 3/4's of the teams. :lol:

I'd like to think my team had a chance to win a couple more championships after we won the last one...

Ben Wallace C D C- A+ A- C
Amare Stoudamire B+ C- D A- A- B
Glenn Robinson B A- C A- C C
Jason Richardson B A C+ A- C A
Jamal Crawford C A- B+ A- D+ B

Man that was a sick lineup  :cry: I think I can claim best team... At least at that point. Not in the future though.

Defensive genius JJ?  Revisionist history.  He was a C+ defender.

plus you had darko out of position, and wright and kidd weren't getting any younger.

I have two words for you YAO MING, he was a breast, winning the DPOY and all league first team.

 :lol:

your players are nothing compared to Diaw and Q back then... lmao

we'll be watching you... :)  :wink:

Oh right, lol. I had someone else come in to play SG though. I can't remember who, but they were a great defender.

And Wright wasnt that old.

And Darko, out of position, put up like 15 and 8 or something. I maxed him out.

he's such a breast.. what size?

36C

Man, these nights with no sims and no trade talks are SLOW :)

Bulls was on the brink of having their dynasty. IMO the bulls and the nuggz got the best team in that league.

Mihm
J-neal
T-sanity (LOL)
Wade
K-Bomb

And the rest are just runner-ups.

yeah, the sims should be more often. for example, instead of 8 games in every 3 days, it could be 3 or 4 games in 2 days. it would be more dinamic

Great.  It's not like this doesn't take up enough of my time as is.

In otherwords, nto a chance in hell.  I'm not simming more than 3 days a week.

alright alright, ok for me either way

Well said..

I think its fair enough to have 3 sims a week. Or else Dabods will pull a jemagee.

Oh, I'm not complaining, I think the sim schedule is great.

I was just saying the nights where there is no sim, and no trade talks are slow.

If you sim more than 3 times a week, people will miss alot of GM check ins, and the quality of the League suffers.

I'm fine with the sim schedule. But as far as who had the best team, that would easily be the T-Wolves. Come on, Shannon Brown, Ginobili, Kirilenko, Odom. I may have a made some trades toward the end, but I'm forgetting.

Man, I wish we could have found the save file.

I mean, I made the East championship, and lost to the CHEATING Sixers. I would have beat them, and I would have beat the Warriors too.

that just not right, it's injustice: they only have one player and he's putting up some monster numbers and all off a sudden they are the team to beat...it's not right

He's talking about tye old SSBA.

yes, but isn't that the case now?

No. The old SSBA was way different than this one. We played 4 seasons, so everyones rosters changed dramatically.

For instance, I was

Theo Ratliff
Emeka Okafor
Darko Milicic
Joe Johnson
Jason Kidd

and now I'm

Chris Mihm
Greg Ostertag
Michael Finley
Vince Carter
Antonio Daniels.

Warriors are getting no respect. Too bad I can't shut yall down with another championship (or two or three)...

Guess I'll have to prove my superiority again in this sim.

Jazz did alright...had a lot of away games. Kidd put up two triple doubles and a couple games that were close to being triple doubles. I like having RJ as 6th man, he's practically putting up the same amoutn of numbers in a lot less minutes. On the downside, the warriors moved to a secure 6th in the West while I'm maintaining the 7th spot. I still feel that my team will play a lot differently in the playoffs, but I don't wanna mess around with a 7th or 8th seed.

The old SSBA was the best league there was, until we made it to the last season.

i beat the 76ers in the first game in the semi's and then KG goes down, with no injury listed and no explanition,

then my magic went down, its a very sad topic for me :x but the league was great, and i miss jem as a commish, but i think dbods is doing just as good a job as jem as commish, and hopefully he dosent get burned out doing this sim

Thanks Commish

Perhaps to prevent burning out we could do 20 days a sim, any disadvantages of that...everyone would be subject to.

No, I'm fine.


I'm just not doing it daily, that's all.
