There may be potential changes in the GAH in the future. This is something I have been thinking about the last couple of months, and the fact that we needed two weeks for the first round of the draft makes me think some decisions need to be made. A longer and detailed announcement will be released when the moment comes, but for now I just need the following information:
1. Do you own DDS:PB? 2. Which other basketball sim engines do you own? 3. How would you feel about switching to in-game Free Agency instead of using Player Agents? 4. How would you feel about using in-game financials (contracts, options)? 5. How would you feel about making scouting information public to all GM's? 6. How would you feel about using in-game scouting system?
Please use this thread for answering.
Thanks in advance.

1. No 2. FBPB3 3. I love the current FA system but the period does drag out a little. 4. Might be a problem for those without the game. 5. Does not bother me in the slightest. 6. Might be a problem for those without the game.

1. Do you own DDS:PB? Yes2. Which other basketball sim engines do you own? No3. How would you feel about switching to in-game Free Agency instead of using Player Agents? Undecided..never experienced it4. How would you feel about using in-game financials (contracts, options)? Undecided..never experienced it5. How would you feel about making scouting information public to all GM's? Yes (maybe this would get GMs to show some better interest in draft)6. How would you feel about using in-game scouting system? Undecided..never experienced itAre we concerned we don't have PA available anymore for off-season duties? If so, then the questions above answer themselves. But Gibbs brings up the million dollar question....how can a non-owner of game get updates and knowledge of the Fa/scouting/etc??
I hope we have good participation again this season. The adding of interim GMs was to help relieve Manu of the burden of so many teams un-manned. This draft didn't seem to point to easing up Manu's work?!?! ljw SAS

2. Which other basketball sim engines do you own? DDSPB2, FBB3

4. How would you feel about using in-game financials (contracts, options)? Ditto
5. How would you feel about making scouting information public to all GM's? If it's less work, I'm cool with that.

How would you feel about using in-game financials (contracts, options)? Same as #3 above 5. How would you feel about making scouting information public to all GM's? Sounds good to me 6. How would you feel about using in-game scouting system? Sounds good to me

1. Yes
2. None
3. I am a bit indifferent, we have had some good storylines come out of FA. The Jordan Wars from a few years ago were great theater and ultimately lead to the greatness of the Bulls. Then these past few seasons Boston brash style took a season or two to hit the PAs and they reaped the rewards this year. I think we might lose some uniqueness with dumping it.
4. Wouldn't this depend on the answer to #3? I like how we changed the options piece compared to the real game.
5. I like how we do it. Perhaps we can develop a method to fast track it during the season. Realistically we know 90% of the draft the moment the current draft begins. We are just waiting on the one or two off international player then a handful of juniors. Say perhaps a team can use 10 of 15 scouts during the season (pre-declarations) this would shorten the draft time. Realistically, teams would be scouting year-long.
6. Was never a fan of this because to me it never really made sense. Some of this could of been me not understanding how to read the reports.
