The board now moves with the season. Two things changed.

1. The Live price

Every player already had two prices that never change: the IPO price (where the pre-draft boards had him) and the MARK (where he finished after his first season). The new Live price is a third one. It asks what each player would be priced at today if his class were re-ranked on this season’s games so far.

The formula is the same one that sets the MARK, run on current stats:

• Per game: PTS + 0.7×REB + 1.5×AST + 1.8×STL + 1.8×BLK − TO
• Multiplied by (games played ÷ his team’s games)^0.25, so a player who’s missed time gets a gentle haircut and not a punishing one
• Multiplied again by games played ÷ 10 if he has fewer than 10 games, so a hot two-game start can’t vault anyone to #1

Players are then ranked inside their own draft class on that class’s price ladder, where #1 = $1,000. Live never changes the IPO or MARK, so you can always see where a player started, where he finished and where he is right now. Anyone under 15 games gets a SMALL SAMPLE tag, and a player with no games yet shows a dash. The numbers refresh every morning after the previous night’s games are in.

2. 9C EPS and Per-36 are now in-season NBA numbers

These columns used to be pre-draft college and overseas production. On the quote boards they now come from this season’s NBA stats, the same data the Live price uses. (The pre-draft versions are still on each player’s page, labelled pre-draft.)

9C EPS is a nine-category z-score. For each category, a player’s per-game number is compared with the other players in his class who have played, measured in standard deviations from that group’s average. Then the categories are weighted and added up:

• Full weight (1.0) on points, rebounds, assists, steals, blocks and threes made
• 0.6 on FG%, 0.25 on FT%
• 0.15 on turnovers, flipped so fewer is better

Per-36 does the same thing on a per-36-minute basis. Each counting stat is scaled to 36 minutes first, so a bench player who produces in limited minutes isn’t buried by his role. The result is then re-centred to the same average and spread as 9C EPS, so the two columns are directly comparable.

Caveats

• We’re only a handful of games in, so everything swings a lot. Treat early numbers as a snapshot, not a verdict.
• Each class is only measured against its own players. A 9C EPS of +5 in the 2026 class and +5 in the 2021 class are not the same thing, and older classes have smaller groups.
• Players who haven’t played yet show dashes, and the incoming 2027 class keeps its pre-draft numbers.

Also cleaned up the quote board: Post-SL, PEM and LTSU are no longer columns (the PEM and LTSU gauges are still on each player page).

I've had Lamelo Ball and Sam Cassell before but never fuckin STEVE SMITH

who here has a realistic 2k27 rosters for bbgm?

I got on the basketballgm website and it's telling me to go to menu click tools and then export league, but on my screen there is genuinely no place to click menu. Lmk what to do

i don't know how this guy slipped to me with the 4th pick, easily carried me to 5 straight chips alongside 2 other superstars i managed to nab

I feel like the game has small market teams a bit too unrealistically treated when it comes to contract renewals. Wembanyama always starts at like 15% likely to renew with the Spurs, and then he doesn't renew, and then his contract demands are 55m+ and what happens is only like 3 teams at most have the cap space for it and he signs for one of them and just rots until the end of his 5-year contract and then it repeats.

Clingan is not showing on the League Leaders list because he got injured, I don't know how many games does he need to play to get the achievement. But as you can see, on the dashboard he's the leader. So who gets it?
