um....

you can buy potential.

so don't give me that argument.

but if such all time greats like Bird or Erving won't live up to their expectations, then they shouldn't even be in the draft

This is a consistent showing that you still haven't grasped the concept of what I'm doing with the draft.  I've been extremely straightforward with how I'm doing.

BTW, SSBA Bird dropped 24.2/7.6/4 in his 3rd year, which was pretty comparable to his 3rd year in the NBA (22.9/10.9/5..  Last year he was certainly a superstar.

Um...yes, i know. But you missed the point. I've been said by numerous GM's (including you) that potential could be deceitful, so in other words we can't trust em. I'm pretty sure Erving's potential was (or still is i don't know) pretty high (considering who he was and the fact he's from Philly), so why does he still sucks in his 4th year?

It also depends on who the GM/coach is (where in the DC he is used, option, pace, focus) and who the other teammates are.  There are too many variables that are different than the NBA because of the human factor...and way too many unknowns due to the random factors of sim(ulating) games.

Bottom line is that there is no way to absolutely duplicate the real players or their achievements.  Just look at Yao.
