FBB Fantasy Teams open
« on: January 28, 2005, 09:25:23 AM »
I've inherited a fast break basketball league that I am now commish of.  The prior GM had been caught cheating, and we are giving the league a fresh start.  So I'm offering any of you who want to give it a try a spot.

The list of available teams is here:
http://www.phillyarena.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=85

If you want a spot, just register and post which team you want.

If you don't know what FBB is, here's the gist of it.  Basically, it's fantasy nba on roids.  but rather than simply build a team, based on players skills, and try to mesh characteristics that will fit in well together.  the game takes roughly 20 skillsets, everything from the obvious (inside scoring, outside scoring, ballhandling) to the more subtle (different categories of defense, such as post defense, perimeter defense, drive defense, shotblocking) to ratings on their personality (loyalty, greed, and desire to play for a winner).  Their potential to improve is also rated.  This is then displayed in 6 categories on the players profiles (inside scoring, outside scoring, ballhandling, defense, rebounding, potential to improve), and rated from F to A (including pluses and minuses)

You are then assigned the responsibilities of the teams GM.  Everything from free agent signings, to trades, draft picks and managing a salary cap.  Real NBA rules are used (need to match salary in a trade, mid level and low level exceptions) and years are simulated.  It takes approximately a month to simulate a full season.

It's really a blast.  You can spend as little as 5-10 minutes every other day with it to be successful.  If you have any questions, just ask.  I'd be happy to answer.

Here are the roster files to look at:

Derek,

I have an account as bbf78253...I'll give it a try.  I posted my team selection on the other site.

Thanks
It riles them to believe that you perceive the web they weave.  Keep on thinking free.

Sweet.

It's pretty fun.  This is the first league I've ever been in and it's been fun.  I'll lay out all the steps for things happen.

BTW, I changed your login name to SpursGM.  We do that just so it's easier to contact the GM's for offers and such.
