Hi everyone! A project I've been working on for a good while now...

BBGM Real Cartoon Faces

I created all 5,490 real player cartoon faces! You can import into any Real Player League in BBGM with the click of a button.

ALSO there is inevitably still room for improvement on many of these players, so I'm pleading with you all to provide feedback on the site. The player editor is there for you to play with and submit for any given player. Please feel free to spam with suggestions. No matter how nitpicky, I'd love to get all 5,490 as hyper-realistic as we can. 🍻

tobias harris as the best player 🫩

I’ve never had this before. Guess it explains my 11 straight titles.

If I had a nickel for every time Jeremy Sochan became the undisputed GOAT in my save I'd have 3 nickels. Which isn't a lot but it's weird that it happened thrice

this makes no fuckin sense

Appreciate the work put in by u/dumbmatter and u/Alexnoob on the game. I like playing with real and current NBA rosters, but I feel like most ratings have to be adjusted. I'm not really sure how to do it because I tried to make a custom roster before, but it skewed the player stats and didn't match their real life stats anymore.
Some notable and questionable current ratings are:
1. Jalen Suggs and Donovan Mitchell having the same, if not, similar ratings.
2. Franz Wagner somehow always ends up being a top 10 player
3. Austin Reaves and Jayson Tatum have really close ratings
4. Quentin Grimes, Jaren Jackson Jr. Lauri Markkanen all share the same rating, while Jalen Williams is worse
5. In general, some role players have the same ratings as all-stars in real life.

Some people enjoy the randomness of these ratings, but I'm looking for more realism. Does anyone have a roster with tweaked ratings?

new to this game and got this cracked big man but my team is terrible defensively any suggestion would be helpful to improve my team thank you.

Also the 6 straight years with 70+ wins.

Any ideas of what to do now? My team is all old and washed.

AI coach needs a little more intelligence!

Now that tanking is over, CPU AI should sign a free agent when it makes sense to upgrade

bullshit...

-63M this year but who cares I'm in New York.

(Bit random but TJ Howell's MVP feels a lot like one of Nash's, "mid" numbers but on elite efficiency: 52/44/92 splits and under 30 MPG.)

*NOT one of the games you are getting flooded with*

Hi everybody!

I've always been in the "how would they do in a different era" debate for years. So I built a simulator that actually tries to answer it properly.

Not one of those games where you pick any roster and easily go 82-0 with no playoffs or championship, which I know you have seen a lot of nowadays and are probably tired of. I am so tired of them, they are lazy. Inspired by those but this is incredibly in depth, and an actual game! I have a degree in game development so I mixed it with my passion for basketball roster construction and simulation! It has been out for a week now with great reviews.

It covers every era from the 50s to the 20s. You choose an era to sim your season in, and that era actually matters. Each decade has its own pace, spacing baseline, FG% environment, and opponent difficulty. Bad rosters not fit for the era, get exposed. You sim an era accurate regular season AND PLAYOFFS. You can see full game logs, and box scores.

You draft a coach and players from all eras and mix and match them, but every player has an era fit that penalizes or rewards them for it. Old-school guards get punished going forward in time. Big paint-heavy players flourish going backwards. For example it may be smarter to draft a rudy gobert over a Damian Lillard in the 50s. Spacing, coaching grade, rim protection, positional fit, all factors in. And in the sandbox mode you can create your own rosters.

If you want to try it: eraball.com completely free!

In the video I got some great pulls, but trust me its harder than it looks! Your lifetime stats are also tracked if you like that kinda stuff :)

This community knows simulation depth better than anyone, so please let me know if anything feels off or unrealistic. I update it constantly based on feedback and would genuinely love input from people who care about this stuff. It is constantly patched and updated.

Once again these "games" you are seeing flooding the internet right now are doing so much damage to real games, but the feedback I have gotten with over 3k players has been great. I know you will have a negative bias towards this because of them but I promise you will like it if you just try it. I PROMISE you its different. That is all I can say before you try.

Hope you enjoy it!

Hope there is an 85 amongst them

Other than two seasons where my team choked in the finals (one with a 79-3 record) I went nearly a quarter century winning titles. I had 7 different guys win DPOY, 5 different MVPs, 6 different finals MVPs, 2 ROYs, 2 MIPs, and 10 different 6MOYs.

my roster has a rating of 123 , which is almost a double of the second best team in the league (68) , but I’m way over the salary cap and I do not want to get fired after this season , so please provide some suggestions on whoever I should waive or trade🙏

I made a formula for "worst player award", and this is the profile of a typical winner -- a slow guard with high INS and STR ratings. INS boosts usage 1.5x more than other attributes, and strength rating for a slow guard adds very little value but still boosts OVR rating leading to more playing time.
Also, players who are excessively mediocre at everything, they are good enough to get playing time, because of their decent OVR rating, but contribute nothing in terms of skills tags, so end up hurting team synergy.
