HR, on the current league editor, draft order screen - there is a grayed out Add button. Were you planning on making that available to add user-controlled supplemental picks or something of that nature?

With historical modifiers enabled, I'm not getting any Wilt like 50/25 numbers, pretty standard averages actually. Should I be disabling this feature?

What was the error? And what version of Windows do you have? Need to figure out if it just isn't installing right or if it is something else.

7.

The module C:\Windows\SysWOW64\RMChart.ocx was loaded but the call to DllUnregisterServer failed with error code 0x80004005.
"

Is it because I have the game running?

Probably best to close the game while testing that but it seems to be an admin thing.
  1. Run command prompt as Administrator. If you type in cmd in the run box it should appear in the list then you can right-click and run as admin.
  2. Change folder by issuing the following command : For Windows 32-bit: cd C:\windows\System32
    For Windows 64-bit: cd C:\windows\SysWow64
  3. Type the following command and hit Enter: regsvr32 /u RMChart.ocx
  4. Type the following command and hit Enter: regsvr32 RMChart.ocx
  5. Run the game and let me know if that changes anything.

Uninstalling the demo after the install could certainly cause an issue. Wouldn't hurt to redo it.

FYI the nicknames/league names cvs files are up on my site. I saw the email with the logos and had a quick look before I came into work this morning - fantastic stuff. I'll have these hosted tonight. Thanks Korme!

Ugh, going into the 92 draft I had the #1 and 2 pick before the lottery... Could have tried Shaq and Mourning side by side...

instead 4 and 5 so Jim Jackson and Christian Laettner.

How does a player determine when to retire? Loss of skill, age, experience, or all of the above?

I've got to think it's age, not experience, right? Since a player doesn't accumulate a year's experience if he doesn't play anywhere.

Loss of skill and age seem to be the factors. The guys that shrink to an orange/orange with age tend to go around 34, while I've seen a few guys hit 40 too.

I just had an issue after having played 5 games. I was sending a guy to development, and when I went back to the Hot Seat all the data was lost. The calendar still showed the played games, but my record was 0-0 and the players' stats were erased.

Stab in the dark, your first 5 games were preseason and you just hit regular season?

Is it possible on the trade screen too highlight injured players in red? I don't know if it makes a difference but saves having to bounce back and forth between screens.

Age, skill, & how much playing time they got the previous season.

I'd say his team is constantly finishing above their perceived talent level and there are less teams at that time. Definitely seems like a few too many CotY awards though.

If reinstalling didn't work, do a search for RMChart.ocx on your computer and see if it is found anywhere. Let me know where it is found if it is there.

I've been testing out playing purely as a GM, with the rotation and strategy left up to the CPU. Small sample size, but doing this seems to result in my coach using an uptempo (10) gameplan all the time. For example my woeful expansion Bobcats average nearly 110PPG with me at GM and CPU gameplan and give up 116PPG. Sim the season again with me stepping down as GM and the same roster/coaching staff (and some non-dramatic CPU-controlled roster changes) and they are down under 100PG and giving up a little bit over.

I did the same test a few more times and saw similar results.

Same thing happens to me. I think that is why I always saw such high scoring totals with my 80's Celtics. I ran from 1976 until 2012 but didn't know if it was because I've only had 3 coaches during that time frame. Only had 4 seasons below 104 ppg in that time frame.

So the first thing I thought of to do with this game was to re-live the glory years of ACC basketball.. I took over the Bullets in 1979 and my only rule is that I can only sign/draft/trade for players from the ACC. That isn't going to last long... in 1984 my starting lineup of Brad Davis (maryland guy from mid 70's), Michael Jordan, James Worthy, Larry Nance, and Ralph Sampson, with Mike Gminski as my 6th man, made it to the NBA Finals.

The top guys from the ACC weren't good enough to go as high as I was picking in 80-83 (Sampson and Worthy were both about 5th pick range, while I had 1st and 2nd those years), so I would trade down a couple slots, pick up future picks and get my ACC guys. This made it easy to trade up for Jordan who is first team all NBA his rookie year.

So yeah... I'll come up with a new challenge after playing this out a short while longer

Right now you can only add leagues at the start. You can deactivate a league during period after you run offseason by setting its last season to the last season played in the editor.
