I just wanted to say I stumbled upon this which searching FOFC for the novel '1984'... yeah, weird way to see this dynasty but it had me reading the entire thing and wanting to play a similar style, maybe from the Grizzlies' perspective.
Is this game:
Fast Break Pro Basketball 3
And how do you get real players and accurate draft classes from a certain year? Can I do something like start in 1990 as an expansion team?
