Sim league Basketball

Anyone interested in playing sim league basketball? I am thinking about starting up a league. I have no idea how much time it would take since I have never played, but I can tell you all that sim league baseball is much less time consuming than fantasy baseball.

For those of you that aren't quite sure how it works, here is a brief overview

There is software out there (probably DDS is what I would use) with last years stats.
1. The games are played head to head, like a real NBA schedule.
2. You would draft a roster of 15, with a salary cap
3. You would pick your style of play, substitution patterns, and such
4. Teams then go head to head based on last years numbers



If there is enough interest shown, I will get the software and start a league.

 

I might be interested in something like that. Count me in.

 

Sounds like fun, id be down.

I am. I've played sim league baseball for several years, and it is a blast. I'm not sure about software to use or anything like that yet, so it could be a rocky start

 

Id be down

 

Consider the Cactus Development Basketball Sim also... was very good a few years back when I ran a league with it. Coaches can set roll files for starters, ~how many minutes they want each player to play etc..

I haven't tried DDS but I will have to check it out.

 

I will look at anything. Thanks for the input. I have never played sim basketball, so I really have no idea what to look for? I see there are several online versions, are they any good, or is it better to get software and create your own site?

 

I have been hearing good things about fastbreak pro basketball as well. It's very customizable

 

Ive been in a sim bball league for years. It just started back up and we are filling members. Speeds, myself and drexlersdad all participate. That league uses nba2k with sliders.

 

I'd be down if the software can run on my Mac (yeah yeah I know).

 

Interesting. It sounds like several of you will know a lot more about sim league b-ball than me. Is it good? bad? pros? cons? How often is it run? What stats do they use? How are salaries configured?

 

I think I signed up for the S2 league a few years back and started the drafting process, but flaked. : /

 

Yes, this wont. I am making it smaller to start, for one thing. I will also have another site set up for the league. The only thing this will have in common with the other is that it will have S2 people in it.

 

i tried to set one up with denny and a few others here a few years ago, its ALOT of work

my advice would be to get your system and program completely dialed in before anything else (draft, members, etc) thats what fucked us was that every program i ran wasnt as good as i wanted it to be, kg averaging 23 rpg, the league leader in apg was nash with 4, etc....it was hard to dial it in, but for all i know, there are much better programs than what i was trying to use

i was trying to use live or 2k so that i could upload screenshots and videos of games

 

I think I will be using fast break pro basketball. Strictly stat driven. I will make sure I have it all together before moving forward. I was strictly gauging interest

 

I did that too, too many people flaked for it to get started. I had a badass team from what I recall.

 

I'm very interested BTW.

I think the most important thing will be which software/sim engine to use. Everything else should be great
