I like the upcoming forum changes. I hate having to open IE just to put in some stats, and often those get screwed up there, too.

where my players at?

Should be within the next week.

Hopefully.

Could this be taking any longer?

Absolutely it could be. I'd rather wait longer for the changes described in seble's posts than get a rush job that leaves things out or includes mistakes.

Some issues have popped up with HD that have sucked a lot of my time the past week. I promise they're coming, I just can't give you a firm date.

Or even a ballpark idea, because every single other thing on this site is more important than SIM basketball, and I never know when I'll actually be able to work on something that's such a low priority.

(Sorry to those who may not like this, but for those of us who've been around a while, it's quite obvious this is the sad truth.)

This cracks me up!!! No one that works on this site is rushing to do anthing that effects the WIS NBA sim.

Last update a year and a half ago.

I'm not deluding myself about the relative priority of the different games - staff resources presumably go first to the cash cows. Meant what I wrote above, though. And glad it amused you.

It's getting closer and closer to two years. Still, I'd rather have some changes released with new players (who are released a month or two late) than have the new players released, them be terrible, and us waiting till the 10-11 player release for a new update, because honestly, I don't see any updates coming between new player releases. I still enjoy the sim, so I can handle that. I just wish the sim was a little more popular these days, and that there was a little more emphasis on ironing out flaws, but it is what it is. It's decent enough to let me spend money on it occasionally.

I'm starting to get curious about implications for winning (and losing) formulas. Changes to defensive and position ratings will presumably tweak which players are used most often, but if the sim really is raising the value of offense then we could see some bigger changes to team-building strategies.

Hey Detlef - go play w/your self. Or drop some knowledge. Don't come here acting like you know something.

Seble here:

I'm very busy partying in Vegas with the rest of the WhatIf Team. We have had a month long celebration of record profits and can't be bothered to pry ourselves away from the roulette table. C'mon Black!! Since we don't have a full staff dedicated to any of our original sims and spend all our resources on new money making ideas, its amazing to all of us that anyone still wastes their money on an engine that won't change and has horrible customer support. But lucky for us there is still no competition and people are suckers.

At my annual review this year I was able to get a hefty raise despite showing that I had contributed less than 40 hours all year to the Basketball Sim. (I fudged the numbers. It was more like 20) Matter of fact, most days I don't even get up until noon. Its a good thing that no one measures customer satisfaction or I might have to actually do something. Yikes!! That would really put a damper on my World of Warcraft characters. Oh Well.

I really, really, really promise that you'll see an update when my Cleric/Mage hits level 30. Hopefully sometime this year.

Let's see those new players!!
