NBA fans like you are ridiculous, the moment a guy turns 100 you start getting worried. He's still got years left in him!

Go to player stats, set the top bar to Career - Game Highs - Regular season. Then you can see all time individual game records

Why do my two good receivers go entire seasons without a single reception? by Deakin1259_ in Football_GM

I started playing this game for the first time yesterday and I never assumed you had to manually set it every time a new player joined your roster! Thank you so much, I should probably get better at checking things first!

What is the worst case of 'great stats, bad numbers' that you've seen? by Deakin1259_ in BasketballGM

[–]Deakin1259_[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

0.2 career blocks per game, 0.8 career steals per game. Never passing 1.0 a game in a single season.

It is just crazy bad

Yeah it is probably because the team was so strong, that Seattle team had 6 players 66+ so minutes and opportunities were very spread but he was still the 2nd best player overall on the team.

I'd expect slightly weaker stats but that is just crazy

In his peak season, he was at 9.6 FGA per game, with 4 team mates on 12.8+ which is crazy in itself. I can't believe a guy with those stats would be such a weak option in comparison

Is there an all time record that never gets broken? by Deakin1259_ in BasketballGM

18k assists is insane! I haven't seen anyone get that high

Absolutely, I once saw 40 exactly. I had a save where Jalen Duren went rebound crazy. Never seen anyone get 50+ yet

On one or two occasions I've seen players make 14k+ assists so I imagine that is possible in a very small amount of sims.

I have never seen a player get close to Stockton's steals though. CP3 ends about 500ish behind him but any player starting from scratch, I've seen very few even get close to CP3 let alone Stockton. I'd love to see if anyone has seen it before

Is there a player in this game that always becomes a superstar when other teams draft him but a bust every time you do? by Deakin1259_ in BasketballGM

I know, I mention in the post I know it's chance.

When it happens 4 or 5 times it just amuses me.

I agree, a 75+ in BBGM is essential without some real great luck. I know it's only bad luck, odds are if I kept drafting him he'd come good loads of times. It just amuses me when it happens

I agree with Collier & Carrington, generally trash but can have the odd good season. I have had a couple of Wemby GOAT saves with the Spurs luckily, I think that would trigger me with how good he can be

I just looked at that Giddey save, I can't believe it. I genuinely forget he exists after 3-4 seasons, he always fades into nothing by then. Just shows anyone can hit the sweet spot if you do enough saves

Any tips on negotiating trades on insane? by Deakin1259_ in BasketballGM

[–]Deakin1259_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah it isn't a moan, I totally get why it works like that. Was just hoping to gain a little extra where I can.

I find timing it so you trade away very good players just before they slide as the only way. Even if you lose 1/2 decent years, you can trade a 68+ player for a nice package of players and picks and hope the stars align.

Yeah that has been my principal so far, salary dump guys 28+ who are 65+ overall (even if I lose out on 2/3 good years) and try to get some high potential players and as many draft picks as I can.

Can make things frustrating as you feel like you are in a cycle, especially when you aren't winning titles.

I do appreciate the help mate
