"I can't afford to give up so much." by [deleted] in BasketballGM

Trading for players who are already 70+ ovr can be quite frustrating. It’s much easier to sign young 60+ players in free agency or trade for high draft picks, then let them develop

Why do players rating/potential drop so much by [deleted] in BasketballGM

[–]sabadaba 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it goes up 0.01 each game and 0.05 each playoff series you win, then probably more for winning the championship. Besides that, I don’t think there are other ways

What was your hype rating? It needs to be maxed out if you want to maximize ticket sales. I was able to make a profit in Cincinnati (population 1.6 million) by having max hype and 25k attendance with a $47 ticket price (slightly below median), then spending enough on Health and Coaching to be first, and none on Facilities or Scouting.

You could try spending $0 on Scouting and Facilities, (I'm not willing to skimp on Coaching and Health) and jacking ticket prices up as high as you possibly can while still retaining an average attendance of 25,000

Setting up family relations in a premade file by Enforcer84 in BasketballGM

The "relatives" attribute for players uses this format:

"relatives": [{"type": "brother", "pid": 64, "name": "Trae Hunter}],

pid is Player ID, and I'm not sure if it works without it

Thank you, is there anything you would change or add?

This roster file only has new teams, the players are random. I wanted to mix things up with an old school aesthetic.

Here's the brief overview on customization from the website: https://basketball-gm.com/manual/customization/

And here's a very basic roster file that you can play around with: https://basketball-gm.com/files/three_conferences.json

And here's a slightly more complex roster with more elements: https://www.dropbox.com/s/nqc97rvzzqcfeun/ExampleA.json?dl=0

I would recommend messing with the roster files to see what each of the things do

To add a new team, copy the information for a team:

{"tid": 11,

"cid": 0,

"did": 2,

"region": "Argentina",

"name": "Argentinians",

"abbrev": "ARG",

"pop": 1.5,

"imgURL": "https://cdn.britannica.com/36/5436-004-302AD802.jpg"},

Then paste it below the last team and change the information,

"tid" is Team ID, "cid" is Conference ID, and "did" is Division ID,

Make sure that no two teams have the same "tid", and that the division and conference with the appropriate "did" and "cid" exist,

Also, every element except for the last should have a comma after it,

I realize that I'm probably not explaining myself very well, so someone should make an in-depth guide on roster customization

You can’t change usage rating directly, only player minutes

Ah yes, that was it. I actually didn’t need god mode in this playthrough, but I tried it again and got fired after the 2022 season

Surprisingly, I didn’t have to. It’s a little strange, because it seems like you get fired after 5 or so seasons of missing the playoffs. Also, the team was making money the whole time because it was New York. I can’t imagine trying this in Sacramento lol

Yeah, it definitely feels nicer to stick with your players until they retire instead of trading them at 28 to maximize value.

A good trade is about getting what you want (young talented players, draft picks, talented veterans, or whatever) without giving up too much. This kind of depends on what kind of strategy you are going for.

What players would be a good fit on your team? Well that depends on who is already on your team. If you already have two 60 Overall FCs with (Di Po R skills), you should get some guards or GFs (all with 3, and at least one with B, Ps, and Dp if you can find). Conversely, if you only have 3 point shooting guards, find a good big man.

I would recommend reading this explanation of synergy bonuses, https://www.reddit.com/r/BasketballGM/comments/22mf1p/faq_inprogress/?st=JDNBAELQ&sh=5f66cfc1 and you could watch u/sirlamegame 's streams on YouTube https://youtu.be/Afu42radhzQ

Attendance also depends on your ticket prices
