Sim 4 discussion

14-14 for a team with no depth, and a 5 and 5 guy starting at SF?

That ain't bad.

Take it as it comes. It's early. Worry about making the playoffs, then worry about winning.

you little thief!!! it's you who trick me with that god damn marshall!!  

p.s. it's just another evidence that this sim is a joke, there is no way donyell is 5/5 guy. it's just too stupid as i said

Well, you have to realize that this HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH REAL LIFE.

Marshall isnt near the player here that he is for the NBA Raptors.

SSBA has nothing do it with NBA. All it has the same are that the teams and players have the same name.

Really, I raped you good on that deal. I didn't think Marshall was quite that bad.

Ostertag is 8th in blocks, and I have 2 of your picks.

Don't worry, what goes around comes around. I got raped in my other deal.

you deserved it! haha...on a serious side, if "SSBA has nothing do it with NBA. All it has the same are that the teams and players have the same name" then how i'm supposed to play? then our knowledge about the game doesn't mean shit, right?

Have you ever been here?

I'm nt trying to belittle you.

But you have to look at a player's ratings.

For example, Marshall

C+ C+ D+ A- C C

That means he's a C+ for inside scoring(around the basket)

a C+ for outside scoring (Like deep 2's and 3's)

a D+ for handles (dribbling, doesn't matter all that much for big men. Plus, he's averaging less than a turnover per game)

a A- for Defense (1.2 steals per gaem, 0.9 blocks per game aint bad)

a C for rebounding

and a C for potential (which, if you want to win now, you don't need to worry about)

know what you mean, but i'm having trouble with those ratings. it's not like that in my country, it's numbers instead of letters, for example: A is 5, B is 4 etc...so i'm pretty confused...

[JazzGM-old]

you can't think of it in terms of how good the players are in real life, it's a sim, it goes by ratings and how those ratings mesh with each other

great!

any advice?

Here's the scale of ratings.
(A+ the best, F the worst)
A+
A
A-
B+
B
B-
C+
C
C-
D+
D
D-
F

So....an B+ is better than a B.  a B- is better than a C.  And so forth.

Take a look at other players ratings.  Compare them with the stats they're putting up.

For big men, an A- or better inside scoring should give you 20 ppg.  The B range should give you 15-18 ppg.  Anything higher than a C outside will help the ppg a little.

For big men rebounding, a C should get you around 8.  A B in the 10-11 range, an A in the 12-14 range.

It's just something you have to deal with.  Forget the NBA.  This isn't a test on your knowledge of the NBA.  It's a test to build a team with matching skillsets.  The ratings are the basis of the simulation, not anything that happens with the NBA.

That's why any and all upcoming drafts will be done with fictional players.  This will force people to draft based on ratings rather than names.
