Draft Day Sports : Pro Basketball update 1.3 released

[Gary Gorski]

For anyone who had purchased the game or was thinking about it the latest update is available here. Also the full version of the game has been updated to 1.3 (even though the site says 1.2 right now) so if you were waiting on the updates to try the demo go for it.

For this update I added a new long requested feature for the option to output HTML player cards and the rest of the fixes are below.

- Altered player creation code for leagues smaller than 30 teams to balance talent better
- Fixed problem with add GM not working in commish office
- Fixed problem of incorrect storage of career playoff stats
- Fixed problem of players not retiring properly out of the D-League
- Fixed bug allowing leagues to sim past the lottery date and get stuck
- Fixed bug that caused leagues using fantasy drafts to not have any players be eligilble for extensions in their 1st season
- Fixed bug that caused coaches to want to sign for 0 years and $0 after fantasy draft
- Fixed bug that causes coaches to start with bad moods towards extensions in initial season
- Fixed RTE 380s looking at players during draft
- Fixed RTE related to almanac in leagues using modded files
- Fixed bug where human run D-League teams do not get allocated players showing on depth chart
- Fixed bug causing some players to play in both the D-League and Pro League at the same time (and therefore eventually causing RTE 91s)
- Fixed bug causing foreign born players to not show up in the FA pool during the season
- Fixed RTE 9 during draft if you have more than 10 picks
- Fixed RTE 9 during free agency in leagues with extremely large FA pools
- Altered code to retire undrafted players who never will be able to play in either league (applicable mostly to leagues using TCB imports)
- Fixed problems with awards not showing in the team trophy case
- Fixed bug causing players traded in the off-season to have negative stats
- Fixed RTE when viewing historical w/l records in leagues of 32 teams
- Fixed bug causing player suggestions to function incorrectly
- Fixed A/TO display bug in per 48 min view
- Addressed problem of injured players who DNP in games getting reinjured
- Fixed bug causing d-league playoff leaders to show in pro league playoff leaders
- Fixed RTE 13 trying to offer contract to own free agent when running a game in a non-US-English language
- Fixed bug causing game to not advance during coach hiring phase
- Fixed RTE 91 cutting a player from d-league team
- Fixed scheduling issues with some smaller league sizes
- Added team rebounds (although they are not tracked as a team stat)

bump for the post-weekend crowd

i'll be very interested in this game as more online leagues pop up using this game and if the HTML is good with player career stats and an HTML almanac like a catobase. that might be a huge request, but if those two things are there, i'd purchase this game instantly if i saw those things in online leagues.

Would it be possible to set up a demo do-over? I used up the demo trial period at release but ran into problems.

The HTML player cards display their full career year by year stats - that's in fact pretty much their main function. They also display current year's stats at a glance, full contract info and their scouting report/bio.

There is no HTML almanac at this time but a very detailed almanac including every player's stats who ever played in the league searchable by player name or you can search a team and see every player that ever played for them.

I will see what we can do about this.

I also tried the Demo at release and ran into problems. I would be interested in trying the demo with the patches in place. The game was a must buy for me when I first read about it but the problems put me off.

Do any of these basketball sims have a graphical representation of the game being played like Football Manager? Thanks.

But the overall package works and the games are fun to watch.
