Don't do grandsons. End it with the last son then do big summary stat tables etc.

Then do a team-running experiment with some kind of draft.

We'll see. I'll definitely do a team one after this, but probably not going straight into it. Then again, it's almost summer and I'm a teacher, so... we'll see.

For this one, we'll at least do the sons, and that will put us into "re-gen" territory (instead of randomly generated draft classes). Maybe you'll change your tune once Wilt Chamberlain gets drafted to your team.
 
feck's sake, that's the second time I do that. I'm expected to keep track of Solius and Sonius, weetee and weeweetee, altodevil and sontodevil, hobbers and nobbers.

I empathise, my fellow experiment runner.
 
It's actually the second highest GameScore by a Cafite, at 56.8! It was a double overtime game, to be fair, but it's still great.

The highest by any player is BenitoSTARR with 63.8, for a 62/12/9 game with 1 steal and 4 blocks, only a single turnover and shooting 10-14 from three (and 22-27 overall).

Nice!

I'm coming for you, Benny boy.
I am old and rusty. If you can’t beat a DIY bit of kit I pity you.

Besides my daughter will be arriving soon.
 
Just the thought of going as player-input'y as you've done gives me a head-ache.

It's not been too bad tbf. Easier than I thought, especially when I started uploading all screenshots in albums to people via pm.
 
Here's a First Round preview for good measure. Not exactly sure what the spread means, or how it's calculated.

The spread is a betting term, basically how many points the bookies expect that team to win by.

Rather than betting straight up on who is going to win a game, you may bet whether the favourites will cover the spread or not (eg Houston winning by more or less than 22.5 points).

Oh, cheers! I always suspected you were a gambling degenerate. :confused:

Well yeah, giving your kid 30 endurance and hoping he doesn't become Phil Jones isn't for everyone.
 
53-29 is so mid.

Yi and Westbrook really let themselves down peaking so young.

Okay next time I'm waiting for the next page to post the update.
 
Sontodevil average. Wow. He should just take my place after I retire.

Also, did I get 13 blocks in one game? What's the record in the playoffs?
 
Avg of 81 points allowed, no game over 100 pts allowed… We have a crazy defence…
 
Oh, there's an exhibition game feature. I can pit any two teams (from different seasons as well) up against each other and sim a game.



Weird. Someone else didn't see a gif I uploaded to imgur either the other day.
What was the best Lakers team in terms of Mov or playoff dominance? Should do a hypothetical 7 game series vs the Seattle mini-run

I want to blame Mozilla Firefox but I use it on both phone and laptop so I'm not sure. The laptop version usually has some display issues after updates, though, so it probably was the browser.

I’ve also had issues viewing the images at times. Tried Chrome and Safari when it happened and they were just blue question marks for me.

The Rockets have managed to complete the comeback! They'll be playing the Spurs in the Conference Final, and I have no doubt they'll be swept if they mess around like they did this round. In the East we'll have a gargantuan challenge for Miami, as they face the reigning champions, the Washington Wizards. Kevin Durant is just getting started, can he be stopped now?

ne3KbWi.png
 
If we can make the final don't worry. I own Durant.
 
Also, hobbers bottling an all-time supporting cast season after season. Choke artist. Nowhere close to GOAT.
 
Oooh, close call for the Rockets. Time for the conference final we have been waiting all year for
