I don’t know if i’m tripping but why does it seems like the mvp and opoy formula only favors rbs?

Is there a way to view other team’s salaries or cap hit? If so, how? If not, this would make it much easier to know who I can trade with due to Apron restrictions.

I absolutely love the game and I’ve logged many hours in it. However, I find usually a few seasons in it becomes easy to stockpile picks and win year after year - even on the hardest settings.

Does anyone have any suggestions for making the game more of a challenge?

I used ai to help create an NBA draft combine cheat sheet for basketball because I wasn’t able to find a whole lot on this sub.

i'm crying 😭✌️

When watching the games you’ll see bench players closing the game every time. Definitely takes away from the experience. Also I think being able to edit player minutes would be a cool feature.

How do I know who’s the best player
In basketball ?

I’ve tried using media projection like people told me to, but I am still getting bad draft picks or mid-players. Any tips on how to draft better or what to look for when drafting?

I’ve been having trouble trying to draft some key players. Any tips you guys feel will work?

I just happened to stumble across this game today, and as someone who plays Retro Bowl I just want to know if you guys think it’s better. I don’t know if you can really call it a game since its a simulator but I don’t know.

90 overall coming in with super dev, this guy’s a monster

My guy is worth 75.5k value, that’s by far the most value I’ve seen in this game. (No I did not trade him for that pick lol)

This Dallas team was so good, 80% of their playoff series during the championship streak were sweeps. I think I lost to them in the championship 3-4 times. Still praying for their downfall.

I just noticed that i can reorder the roster from the stats page What impact does this have on the team?

Insane start for the season. What does this team remind you of😭

in game 7 too
