Any interest in a media-intensive DDS:PB 95-96 On MP League? - Page 2

cschex · 05-21-2009, 08:57 AM

I just got this game on the sale, but have played the college games for a while, I think this would be fun. I guess I'll stay local and take The San Antonion Spurs

Passacaglia · 05-21-2009, 09:43 AM

I wouldn't mind dropping the Pistons so that allpro can have them, Jeebs can have the Rockets, and I'll take the Heat.

works for me

JeeberD · 05-21-2009, 10:02 AM

Sweet...thanks guys!

Autumn · 05-21-2009, 11:00 AM

I was waffling on this, but Gary's offer makes it real sweet since I've been wanting to pick up the game for a while. Count me in with the Phoenix Suns, if they're still there. I've got to really figure this game out now.

wahoomac · 05-21-2009, 11:25 AM

I'll take the Washington Bullets if they are still available (I think they are).

I was just doing research on the teams too you beat me by 20 minutes

on the Bullets

If the Hornets are available i would like them please.

I just downloaded the free trial and i am ready for the half off sale.

Izulde · 05-21-2009, 12:58 PM

Okay after entering everyone in up to bighouserulez, we've got 8 teams available.

Available Teams
Philadelphia 76ers
New Jersey Nets
Cleveland Cavaliers
Milwaukee Bucks
Dallas Mavericks
Golden State Warriors
Sacramento Kings
Seattle Supersonics

Neuqua · 05-21-2009, 05:20 PM

Alright, well I'd feel guilty trying to take down the Bulls juggernaut so I'll pick a team out West.

I'll take the Dallas Mavericks, if that's ok.

Izulde · 05-21-2009, 05:59 PM

Gotcha Neuqua.

Balldog · 05-21-2009, 06:55 PM

I gotta buy the game but I'll take the Cavs!

DeToxRox · 05-21-2009, 06:58 PM

I hope you all know I am going to win every game ever played with the Grizz.

BIG COUNTRY BABY!

You're in, Balldog.

Ajaxab · 05-22-2009, 07:57 AM

If Gary is going to do the 1 day sale, I'd be interested in taking Seattle and keeping the Sonics in the Emerald City.

DaddyTorgo · 05-22-2009, 08:03 AM

i'll take a team from what is still available - you took my celtics izulde so i'm flexible - you can leave me down as "?" and then slot me in as the last person based on what other people want/don't want.

Autumn · 05-22-2009, 08:38 AM

I've only messed around with the demo before. Is there a primer, either in the game or on the Web, that people would recommend to help walk me through it?

Passacaglia · 05-22-2009, 09:08 AM

Can we make sure the 1-day sale happens after Memorial Day? I guess Memorial Day would be okay, if it lasts until midnight.

DaddyTorgo · 05-22-2009, 09:22 AM

errrf - can we make sure it happens after i get my fragging laptop back?

Try the manual in DDSPB/help

You can also read the emails that you get you periodically in game for help. Or surf the WS boards or ask here.

Izulde · 05-22-2009, 12:28 PM

Ajaxab and DT, I've got you guys down.

Funny thing about the Celtics, at least three guys in the league have them as their fave team - me, one of the guys from the MP league and you, DT.

I think we have three Pistons fans also with me, allpro, and DeTox.

Izulde · 05-22-2009, 12:33 PM

Oh and WRT to sale, I completely forgot about Memorial Day. We can make it happen afterwards, sure.

Good point.

DaddyTorgo · 05-22-2009, 12:36 PM

so yeah - just use me to fill in whatever hole you have at the end Izulde. My style is "activist GM" anyways so I'll probably wheel n deal 3/4 of my team away anyways.

DeToxRox · 05-22-2009, 01:23 PM

I have no allegiance to the Pistons now. Vancouver shall crush any and all comers before reigning supreme.

heybrad · 05-22-2009, 01:24 PM

I saw the Memorial Day comments and figured I should add that I will be disappearing for the next couple of days with the family to Palm Desert, lounging by the pool and BBQing. I'll be back on Sunday and have Monday to figure out how to best play the game.

In other words... don't start without me.

Speaking of how to best play the game -- I never managed to get anywhere with DDS:CB, will I have similar trouble with DDS:PB?

Define never managing to get anywhere.

I guess I'd say I got too caught up in micro-managing each game, and as a result, never got as far as a season or two into it. Or I'd get bored going through the recruiting phase, which seemed to take a long time. I guess those things wouldn't happen in an NBA-style MP league.

Ahh. Yeah, no micro-managing each game or recruiting here.

Edit: Other than perhaps recruiting of free agents if we go to a player agent system.

Balldog · 05-22-2009, 04:04 PM

I get Washington's #1 pick in 1996, right?

Only if you take Vitaly Potapenko with the pick...(wait...he might be pretty good, seeing that I don't know too many players from this era...)

This will be interesting, since I don't know too much about the Bullets (I was a Magic fan back then). Nowadays, I just follow players instead of teams, usually UF or UK players in the pros.

tarcone · 05-22-2009, 07:10 PM

Is Memorial day the sale date target?
And the Nuggets will reign supreme

My typing skills are terrible

mrkilla22 · 05-22-2009, 07:50 PM

I don't own the game, but I will take my home town Kings if he does the one day sale.

Izulde · 05-22-2009, 09:10 PM

mrkilla22, entered in

And I'm thinking the day or two after, tarcone, judging from comments in this thread.

Gary Gorski · 05-22-2009, 09:32 PM

I won't do the sale until the league is full and ready to go and its after memorial day so everyone can enjoy their weekend without worrying about missing it

Balldog · 05-23-2009, 06:15 AM

Do we have a website yet?

BreizhManu · 05-23-2009, 09:05 AM

I've downloaded the rosters we're going to use, in my opinion one thing needs to be tweaked before staring : contracts.

Else at the end of the first season there are way too many free agents and then the rosters mean absolutely nothing...

Izulde · 05-23-2009, 09:59 AM

Well, extensions will be allowed during in-season.

We're working on establishing a player agency system so that all players will be extension-eligible, rather than just the ones DDS makes eligible. That should alleviate the concerns about too many free agents.

Also, I imagine quite a few trades will happen, as often does in MP leagues, which will change rosters significantly.

Izulde · 05-23-2009, 10:17 AM

Golden Age Hoops League • Index page

All right, go ahead and register, guys.

And pardon our dust, we're still in the process of building things.

Autumn · 05-23-2009, 10:17 AM

Ah, that Calendar of Events in the help file was just what I needed. The rest I think I can muddle through.

Anyone else have a problem with the game on dual-monitors? It keeps snapping to the "center".

Izulde · 05-23-2009, 11:11 AM

Gotta go do some stuff so it may be a while before I activate accounts that come in.

tarcone · 05-23-2009, 11:31 AM

Exciting stuff.
I was tooling around the demo and came across a renounce day. Im not real sure what renouncing is. I may struggle at the start with the financials, so bear with me please.

Autumn · 05-23-2009, 11:32 AM

All right, I'm logged in over there as Aeon. I think this will be fun. The thing I need to figure out if contracts. I don't know anything about the NBA's financial system, really. It seems you can operate over the cap, what penalty is there for doing that?

DeToxRox · 05-23-2009, 11:53 AM

Does anyone have the draft files? I cannot find them on the site.

Bottom of the opening post. There's a list of files, including the starting roster file as well as 96-00 draft files.
