Your input needed for some fun with DDS:PB 2018

Gary Gorski · 10-26-2017, 01:19 PM

As we prepare to launch DDS:PB 2018 in the coming weeks I thought it would be fun to use the new Tournament Maker feature in the game to run a tournament to decide the greatest champion of the post-merger era.

If you've got a few minutes I would love your votes for who should be in - whether you want to list 16 teams or just a couple.

To put in your two cents go to • View topic - Help us determine the greatest champion!

And if you're looking for info on the new game here's a blog post talking about the new features and a link to the game trailer

Sounds interesting. Looking forward to seeing who wins.

Comey · 11-07-2017, 05:01 AM

Same here. Should be fun.

BYU 14 · 11-07-2017, 09:27 AM

Nice, an '86 Laker / '85 Celtic series on tap for the semi's if the brackets hold.

MizzouRah · 11-23-2017, 09:47 AM

Anyone purchase yet? If so, how is the new game?

MizzouRah · 11-23-2017, 10:47 AM

Dola..

I downloaded the demo and will give it a go today. I don't follow the NBA so I'm just doing a fictional universe taking over the Golden State Spartans.

We have a stud 20 year old C who looks to be our franchise player.

One thing I love so far is the UI.. well done Gary!!! Being able to go directly to my D-league team from my roster is great! I remember having to hunt that down in earlier versions.

TexasT · 11-23-2017, 11:11 AM

I do follow NBA. Disappointed there is no real player roster out.

I am playing with the real teams right now because they ARE included in the game.

TexasT · 11-23-2017, 01:17 PM

I didn't say real teams. I said real players.

OldGiants · 11-23-2017, 02:27 PM

Real teams with real players, you stupid asswhipe

TexasT · 11-24-2017, 01:19 PM

Thank you for that kind reply. Your mother must be so proud of you.

Gary Gorski · 11-24-2017, 03:31 PM

We made the decision to open up the rosters as an additional modded thing going forward so that more people could have a say in them.

What you want to do is go to our mods forum and look in the threads for Roster Template Files and Historical Mod File. Download those, unzip them in the places it tells you to and then choose "custom" when starting a new league and select the roster file you want to use. We provided two - they're the same thing just different ways of making a roster file.

If you need help just let me know over at the Wolverine board. I know its an extra step to get the rosters in the game but the benefits (once everyone is used to it) will far outweigh things in the end. People will be able to update the rosters if they think players should be better/worse or they can add in new rookies and such when its time for the draft.

Zing! Really got him there...

MizzouRah · 11-24-2017, 11:32 PM

I'm sure I'll end up buying it.. having fun watching games play out and sitting back as the GM. That 20yr old C is a stud, guy can score!

I'll mention again.. UI is fantastic.

Gary Gorski · 11-25-2017, 02:42 PM

For those of you who might be struggling with the roster import I did a quick tutorial on it.

This is the first text sim that I actually go the fictional route since I don't know a ton about the NBA.

Now to learn about bird years and what not.

NBA Salary Cap FAQ

That explains how the NBA works in great detail - DDS:PB does not go to that level but the main ideas work the same so that is a great resource for understanding what the items are

This isn't about me, it is about your arrogant stupidity.

Why do lie about the game? Does it make you feel good to disparage a fine product? Why do you even post here? Your deliberate lies add nothing to the discussions.

TexasT · 11-27-2017, 10:55 AM

Not lying you ignorant moron. Just did not know he changed the way to get the current season. I've played more of his games than you undoubtedly. Your comment was what was stupid. You're just some weak little dork sitting behind a computer trying to bully people online. So sad for you, idiot.
