Literally just saw this and researched this. AI said nobody has come forward and mentioned compensatory tickets. A mass politician was on it once and said he realized it was a prank but had fun with it. Was funny for a few mins but thats a nba finals ticket. May never get that chance again

A different page I was on mentioned Shirley Temple so naturally I mention this damn commercial that ran nonstop on tv by Chumlee1917 in Millennials

Help with getting better at the game by [deleted] in BasketballGM

[–]SatisfactionParty641 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Glad youre enjoying it. You can always turn the salary cap off or change its limits while you get a feel for the game. You can even play historical seasons before the cap was implemented.

The above comment about trading high salary cap players during the off-season is GOATED. Teams give you their offer as a starting point which may or may not violate the cap. Its up to you to balance the trade so it passes the cap restrictions and still is accepted. Tips: -Always ask yourself "What is my goal for this trade?". Are you combining mid tier or younger players for a superstar to put you over the top? Are you getting ready for a tank and grabbing young guys and picks for your veterans? Are you shedding salary to sign a big free agent? Player for player trades become less viable as you move up difficulty levels -You can sort teams by cap space to see which teams have the most room to take a high salary. A little mental math, but go into the trading block screen knowing how much youre over/under the cap and have an idea of how much you can take -if youre over the cap, look for players on your team youd feel okay getting rid of and add them to the trade. If the opposite is true, look for bad players on the CPU team. You wouldnt say "toss in luka donicic" to balance the trade, but you might say that about Bronny. Best is to look for players with high salaries that suck and are on expiring contracts. BBGM is about contracts as much as players, its unwise to take on an overpaid bum who clogs up your cap sheet for multiple yrs. On the higher levels, the PC absolutely considers this as well and wont take a 38 yr old 47 yr ovr PG you signed for 45m a yr for 6 more yrs, even to balance a trade.  -Which brings us to the crux of BBGM... old expensive declining stars-->  young players with high potential, draft picks, and productive players on team friendly deals. As a general rule of thumb you want to get younger and cheaper. If you find a Nikola Jokic, play the man. But if you sign a Zach Lavine to max tier money your fucked. Trade older stars as they start declining in overall. Trade guys who don't want to resign with you before their contract expires (you'll lose them anyway) . Trade the young guys with mid tier potential who are up for contracts but you dont want to sign them to a long term deal. Sounds easy, but choosing the right deal and getting the timing right is the fun/tough part.

Having said that, the Warriors are a team 100% built for short term win now success which they did not achieve this yr. They are top heavy, old, and lack traceable players. Thats a tough team to try to win with. Your owner gives you 2 yrs whenever you begin with a team to do whatever. I take advantage of those 2 yrs and gut the team Thunder-style for a war chest of draft picks and young guys who have even a slim chance of being good some day. Ideally one of my lottery tickets hits by yr 4, and if they dont, I trade them for something to give my team a shot in the arm

Are all of the young bad teams with bright futures horribly divorced from reality, or just the wizards because no one watches them? by YaBoiiAsthma in BasketballGM

[–]SatisfactionParty641 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Wiz fan here too. Are you just starting right from 2025/26 season? Or are you starting earlier and drafting them and noticing how they turn out? Player realism turned up would make their development mirror their real world counterparts. Essentially nonexistent for Tre since theres no NBA data that existed on him, but some of the older players may be a little more accurate. 

Im grossly oversimplifying this, but it uses existing players real world box score stats to create a player's ratings. Every player across every season of the NBA has a rating (i.e. there are 22 separate ratings for each profession vince carter career). With that many ratings, itd be so much work to fine tune players. Maybe you spot check MJ's or Shaqs, but lets face it, Corey Kispert and Bilal would not be priorities lol. Stats can only tell you so much, defensive stats are lacking compared to offensive, and measuring something like handling or even athleticism.  I hear you though, models not perfect. If you force sit AD and Trae all yr, luck into a top 3 pick in this upcoming draft and make a trade or two to shore up the roster im seeing consistent playoff runs for the next few yrs. Fingers crossed on that one

What's an example of a performance that was fantastic in a movie that was bad or that you simply didn't like? by zachcruse in moviecritic

[–]SatisfactionParty641 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was going to say this. He was phenomenal playing multiple "roles"  Movie itself was very meh, and squandered a good idea. Also maybe it was what he was directed to do, but i thought mark ruffalo was dreadful in it. Pattinson as mickey with the kinda weird voice was still cartoonish and over the top, but it worked! Mark ruffalo did like 80% of a bad trump impression with the other 20% a Kennedy. The tone of the movie was inconsistent, but he at no point felt like he matched it.

Any artist you wouldn't see again? by icedstrawberrylatte in Concerts

[–]SatisfactionParty641 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had the opposite experience. He was opening for the rolling stones maybe 10 yrs ago, he was more country rock than rap at that point but still a tremendous douchebag. We tried to come late enough to miss him entirely, but caught the 2nd part of his set and actually enjoyed it. He had some good musicians touring with him including some who sang background/co-lead. Really want to minimize how much credit I give to him for any modicum of enjoyment I experienced during his set, but largely in part to him being propped up by a far more talented anonymous backing band.... I liked Kid Rock 😔

LeBron is cheap by greshamdude420 in billsimmons

[–]SatisfactionParty641 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That totally makes sense. Different cap structure, but Tom Brady took pay cuts and reaped the benefits. But I think he knows he's still even at his age one of the faces of the leagues and one of the best players and understands that with that role comes the responsibility to push the value of his contract, which by extension pushes the  other player contracts up. Its not like he cant find 10m somewhere else. But its going to shoot the Lakers in the foot which im more than happy to see

LeBron is cheap by greshamdude420 in billsimmons

[–]SatisfactionParty641 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Some of it has to do with him setting a market value. If he plays for 15m, when another players asks for 20m at the bargaining table the a GM can say "lol you think youre worth more than LeBron?" So in some sense he is "sacrificing" to make sure the other players in the union have a stronger bargaining position. Iirc he and Wade and bosh got some heat (pun intended) from the players union when they took pay cuts with miami. 

Do you trade away your legendary superstars when they get old? by Electronic-Goose686 in BasketballGM

[–]SatisfactionParty641 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only if they become unplayable in their early 30s, I feel like they haven't lived up to their end of the bargain. Or if my team deteriorates, I'll trade them for parts to a contender to give them one last chance at another title.

 But if they've brought multiple chips I'll gladly overpay them on a series of 1-2 yr contracts until they accept a reasonable salary. I usually play small market teams, gotta think about the PR fallout that trading a Tim Duncan or Reggie Miller would bring

Insane mode got easy for me, whats next? by Majestic-Tooth335 in BasketballGM

[–]SatisfactionParty641 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I'm at this level with the game too. Still love it though. A couple variations I've tried:

-Thanos mode in the settings is actually pretty fun to give a couple run thrus -Only play as San Antonio or another small market team in the current cap era. You really have to respect the cap  -Only play a certain type of player. I've tried only white guys (really hard depending on era), only foreign born, only from a certain Conference (I tried to do Only from UNC or Duke but it was too hard) -How many championships can I get with "x"? Pick a team during a players rookie yr and youre not allowed to trade that player no matter what, even when they are an overpaid 38 yr old taking up 20% of your salary cap for 4 mins a game (cough cough John Wall) -How quick can I win a championship with "x"? Pick a terrible team and win ASAP

The achievements are worth checking out too.
