This always seems to be an obstacle. Most beginners are turned off once they realize that we use 'fake' players and not real NBA stats.
Biggest problem when I try and sell people on the idea of joining. I still miss Nick's retro league.  |

SSBA recycled them... Jordan Jr, Bird III, etc. Still not sure how I felt about it, felt just as "fake". I enjoy sim leagues no matter what, but I understand why people have a hard time when they can't "picture" their team. |

But one of the opinions I received about it was that the mixed retro players and real players weren't that realistic either. |

It wasn't the "real players" that my friend had a problem with it was the stats don't really resemble basketball in a lot of ways and that he wouldn't have the full control of his team that he would like.
For example our 3 point percentage is incredibly high, and big men fg percentage is incredibly low. He would want the ability to tell his big guys not to shot, and the 3 point guys to take as many shots as they can etc. Stuff like this and the stats not mirroring NBA was the issue he had.

That'd be incredibly difficult. I wish him luck in finding a simulation league with that much individual control that includes the features that we have here. |

Well, it would be nice to be able to tell your defensive big who turns it over 3 times a game to never shoot, I guess...but that's part of the downside of having that player. |

Bump.
Travis decided to quit a while ago, I guess. I had two people on a waitlist but neither of them are responding. If anyone has someone that they think would be a good fit for the league, let me know.
Would like to get this filled before the offseason so the new guy has a bit to figure out the league before being thrown right into offseason.
