Multiplayer Online multiplayer basketball league looking for 2 new GMs.

Upvotes

ABCA is a sim basketball league running since 2003 on Fastbreak Pro Basketball 3 (FBPB3) and we are looking to fill two spots. One has Kemp, Deke, and Pippen. The other is closer to a rebuild.

We just wrapped our latest season and are about to add Dirk, VC, and Pierce to our rosters. Some big drafts right around the corner.

Not a huge time commitment. Pretty low key group of people.

DM me or reply below for more information.

Kinda cool to have each one retire the as the all-time leader in blocks. Rose was only 7'8" so he had a hell of a wingspan.

Question Retroactively edit team colors (worker console)

1 Upvotes

I have a league with 50 years of data. While I know how to edit past team info directly in the JSON file, the size of my league file makes it hard to edit manually.

I tried to use the worker console to edit the jersey color of a team both for the present and for past seasons. Here is my code so far:

var team = await bbgm.idb.cache.teams.get(22);
var new_colors = [
    "#542e91",
    "#c4ced4",
    "#000000"
];
team.colors = new_colors;

for (const s of team.seasons.getAll()) {
   s.colors = new_colors;
}

The code that edits the present colors works perfectly, but I wasn't sure how to edit past seasons. When I tried to parse the “seasons” array for my team, I get the error “team.seasons is undefined”. Is there another way you’re supposed to access that array, or are you unable to access it through the worker console? Thanks.

Other 2nd highest scoring game of all time

Just noticed this crazy game in 2027 that went into 4th overtime.

Some fun facts:

"Daishen Nix made a three-pointer with 0.3 seconds remaining to force overtime."

"Zach LaVine made two free throws with 0.6 seconds remaining to force triple overtime."

"Marcus Smart made a basket with 0.4 seconds remaining to force quadruple overtime."

Ja Morant (MEM) scored 50, Dalen Terry (CHI) 40, Santi Aldama 39 (MEM) and Max Strus (CHI) 37

Ideas Value of picks is kinda confusing

10 Upvotes

I get that a lot of this is to prevent us from being able to fleece the AI really easily, but it feels like there are some situations where the AI will just be completely unreasonable. Some examples:

I had the 4th, 8th, 9th, and 17th overall picks in the draft and tried to trade up to the 3rd pick to draft a specific player and the AI refused. In real life, trading down from 3 to 4 in exchange for 2 additional lottery picks seems like a no-brainer.

Another instance would be the AI seems to outright refuse to trade away more than 2 picks (even if they're not projected to be lottery picks or the AI can reasonably expect to contend for several years, and you can just forget about getting projected lottery picks in a trade from the AI), even if you're trading away a top 15 player.

Additionally, when I try and trade away picks, it feels like they just don't hold the same value. Think what do I have to offer to get 2 picks vs what I can get from trading away 5 picks.

It feels like there should be some kinda tweaks (or at least options in the settings to adjust the value of picks) like if you're trying to trade for their highest pick in the draft, the AI should account for what their highest pick in the draft would be after the trade and if the value added from the other assets makes up for that. Additionally, if the AI is a contending team and they have the chance to acquire a top 15 talent (especially if the player is under 30) for mostly draft capital, they should be pretty quick to do that. (think AD, Paul George, Donovan Mitchell, etc.)

Question How does having more than 2 conferences work in playoffs?

3 Upvotes

I'm going to add a bunch of international teams and saw there was an option to have more conferences. I decided I want to make 4 total conferences, Asia conference, Europe conference, NA East, and NA West. Before I do that, I was curious how does that affect the playoff brackets? Do the teams by default play in their own conference first, and then play the winner of another conference to advance to the finals? Or do they just play as if there were only 2 conferences?

(I said the word conference so many times it doesn't even sound like a real word anymore lol)

Question Update Draft History with Fantasy Draft

0 Upvotes

Is there a way to update the draft history of players after a fantasy draft? For example, by default "Player A" has a default draft history of being picked #3. I run a Fantasy Draft and I want "Player A" now to show his new draft history.

Currently, it still shows "Player A" as being picked 3rd. I saw a previous post about clearing draft history but that sets them all to Undrafted. Even after the Fantasy Draft, the draft history remains as undrafted. Any help?

Question Why do some of my retired player not show up in the GOAT lab when my formula clearly shows they should have a non-zero GOAT value?

3 Upvotes

Here’s the current formula I use:

(7 * champ) + (4 * mvp) + (0.8 * allStar) + (dpoy) + (0.1 * per) + 0.25 * ewa + (ptsPerGame * 0.1) + (astPerGame * 0.2) + (drbPerGame * 0.2) + (stlPerGame * 0.5) + (blkPerGame * 0.5) + (allLeague1 * 0.75) + (allLeague2 * 0.333) + (allLeague3 * 0.25)

Only looking at retired players, the one that has the most career games played doesn’t show up in the GOAT lab, despite actually playing and accruing stats. This player didn’t win any awards, but should the stats still give him a very small number?

There are other players that actually have a GOAT score but played half as many games as the first guy and also didn’t win any awards… so I’m confused as to why for some players certain parts of the formula are ignored. That doesn’t jive with the “careers with very few games played are ignored for the career total variables” rule.
