I am very interested on that and in mid term checking.

When 2k10 comes out, I'm doing it. My friend and I are going to run the season.

How does that work, anyway?  Do you add all of rosters in on day one, and just simulate the games instantly?  Do you simulate it on a day-by-day basis?  Or, is there another plan?

If you could only get the rosters right, then it wouldn't be a problem. You'd just start a franchise and disable computer trading.

However getting the rosters right is superduper hard. You have to manually trade each player from team to team. Its like piecing together a jigsaw.

he could print out the rosters, and do the draft, when the team comes up in the draft just draft the first player on their list and cross out as he goes through each round.  Might be a little easier than trading everyone.

This was a tough one to call from 2-5 but I finally came up with this:

1) Portland
2) Seattle
3) Utah
4) Denver
5) Minnesota

The questionable health of Dunleavy is what ultimately led me to put Seattle over Utah but its awfully close.  I think Portland, Seattle, and Utah are all playoff teams here.   Denver is a strong "team of the future" candidate but I'm not sure how well they do in the present.   Minnesota has some good youth but I'm not sold on their frontcourt.

How does that work, anyway?  Do you add all of rosters in on day one, and just simulate the games instantly?  Do you simulate it on a day-by-day basis?  Or, is there another plan?

Here's our game plan:

Through hundreds of trades from the default rosters, organize the rosters in a single season simulation. I swear there will be no human control of any game whatsoever, as that would just suck. Also, no messing with 2K10 default skill sets, whatever they give you they give you.

My thought process was to simulate a month at a time for entertainment value. I would post writeups, player of the month stuff, stat leaders, standings, injuries, etc. Basically I'd treat it as an AP reporter covering the CBNBA with one article per month. Playoff races, All-Star voting, all that stuff.  Maybe release the whole season over the course of a week or so.

Come playoff time, I'd do a minor writeup on each matchup (I really enjoy creative writing about sports anyway so I'm cool with doing all this), and then give results game by game in an abbreviated box score format... Something like:

Celtics 131, Lakers 92

BOS- Garnett 10-18 FG, 26 pts, 14 rebs
Allen 26 pts
Pierce 17 pts, named Finals MVP

LAL- Bryant 7-22, 22 pts

We are waiting for 2K10 to do it though. Rookies and improvement are necessary for quite a few teams.

Sound good to everyone?

The problem with that is I don't know if I can manually control 30 teams in a 2K10 franchise mode. That was our preferred method of doing it, but it's tough.

Not possible anyways. the max number of simultaneous franchises is 8.

Well even if can only control 8 teams it still might save some time in getting those 8 teams as close as possible to our CBNBA teams.

[indeedproceed]

One way you could do it is go through all 30 teams one at a time, each time sorting according to rating (so the best players are on top), then waiving them.

Then you'd have the top 60 players in the league waived, and you could go on assigning them to new teams (all teams would have 13 players after you waived the good guys).

Then, do it again.

And again

and again

Oh it'll happen between my friend and I... We have extensive experience in taking things like this way too seriously and doing way too much work for them

Fantasy football, college madden leagues, etc... haha

[Roy Hobbs]

But how will you simulate the wear and tear on a team like Buffalo, which is flying cross country for all its intra-conference games?

Or on Las Vegas, where the players are staying in the casinos until 6:00am?
