I'd like to see them allow leagues with different numbers of teams. Like a 14 team league where there are 2 divisions with 7 teams each and you play the teams in your own conference 9 times each (54) and the teams in the other conference 4 times each (28) for 82 games. Top 4 in each conference make the playoffs. It's not easy to fill a 24 team league with owners.

There are also lots of fun themes that could be used if the league could be smaller. For instance, you could not have a 50s league with exclusive players now. There's not enough exclusive players from the 50s for 24 teams.

Really, I'd like to see them allow people to the buy the game, like you can with Diamond Mind Baseball. Then you could set up your own theme leagues without having to have other owners involved. Set up the teams yourself, and see which TEAMS are the best, rather than which OWNERS are the best.

You could not have an all ABA league now and fill 24 teams.

Speaking of the ABA, something really good happened a couple of weeks ago, I just heard about it today.

I actually have a question in to What If to see if leagues always have to have 24 teams.

Unfortunately we only have 24 teams right now. This is something we will definitely be changing in the next iteration of the game to allow full customizability for every league.

What an insightful & original thought! I'm impressed! Nobody has ever asked for anything like this over the past decade plus. Not even close!

I'm just getting started. I also want the capability to not have 3 pointers, especially for leagues with just 50s and or 60s players. How about 3 to make 2 for 1960s leagues. Maybe a center jump to start each quarter like those days.

Maybe you could take this rare & profound insight of yours and create time travel while you're at it.
Good idea. We can go back about 40 years and I'll kick your arse on the court, one on one. I'm 5 foot 6, and back then I could dunk a tennis ball. What were you, the team manager in high school? Wait, I found an old picture of you!

Dammit, I told your mom to keep that pic to herself

My mom was your home economics teacher, and she wanted to show me her prize student.

I changed it. I had a brain damaged sister myself. She was not even close to being high functioning enough for special ed.

Classy. I'm sure she'd be proud of her brother.
She was too brain damaged to understand proud or ashamed. She could maybe put 2 words together once in a while, like maybe an 18 month old baby, but never a sentence. She basically had the IQ of a cat.

Ah, well, that excuses your deplorable behavior then. By all means, carry on being a despicable human being.
