Thanks for that link! Is that an official database put out by Brian... or is it something you put together to share with everyone? Does it add only the latest season(s), or does it also tweak or change data from the older seasons as well? Edit: I notice that when I go to start a new game, where you activate or deactivate available leagues, the historical database still says 1946-2012. Is that how it should look, or should it now say 1946-2014 or 2015? Thanks again! Last edited by LaStarza61 : 04-22-2015 at 12:51 AM. |

This adds the player stats for the 14-15 season and updates an issue with the 13-14 season. Quote:
I'll need to update the league format files as well to include the last couple seasons of data when I get a chance. Mainly that is just to the right salary cap is used.

Just checking to see if I have the most current version of the game. On the bottom of the main screen, my game says 3.0.24. Is that the most recent update? I'm having a hard time knowing for sure based on reading various forums.
Thanks! |

Does anyone know how to get this working in Windows 10?
I've tried everything and nothing is working. |

Could you be more specific about the issue you are seeing? There aren't any Windows 10 specific issues that I'm aware of. If the game isn't opening when you try to launch this is generally DEP.
Make sure you are running the game as an administrator. If you right click on the game icon you should see the option. Then try is disabling any antivirus you have running when you try and open the game. Then try this: 1. Right-click on "My Computer" 2. Select "Properties" 3. Click on the "Advanced" Tab. 4. Click on the Performance "Settings" Button 5. Click on the "Data Execution Prevention" Tab 6. Verify that "Turn on DEP for essential Windows programs and services only" is selected. If it is not, select that option and click "APPLY" and then try and run the game. Note: Even if you see that option checked already, go ahead and uncheck and then recheck it to ensure that its activated! 7. If the problem persists, go back and select the other option "turn on DEP for all windows programs and services EXCEPT those I select" and ADD the following files: "runservice.exe" Will be found in C:\Windows "FBPB3.exe" Normally found in C:\Program Files\GDS\Fast Break Pro Basketball 3 or C:\Program Files (x86)\GDS\Fast Break Pro Basketball 3 9. Click APPLY then Reboot and then relaunch the game. |

Yeah, I initially had problems running the game in W10 but the DEP and run as admin fixes outlined above fixed things for me.

Can someone bullet point for me how to properly link the college game with the pro game?
I feel like I'm either doing something wrong in set up or I'm falling out of the proper pocket while simming both games. |

The key thing in the College game is making sure that the Output Draft files option is set to Yes. The draft file will be created when you hit the end season button. Draft files will be stored in the draftfiles folder inside the main folder for your save.
The goal is to make the import process automatic once you have the proper settings. The pro game will look in the save folder from the college game and use the appropriate draft file every season when it creates the draft pool during the training camps phase. You'll want to set the Source to FBCB Import and set the FBCB Import League to the FBCB league you want to import from. The import season dropdown is where you'll have a choice. It will display the following options : Current Season, No files remaining, plus any draft files it finds. When you set it to current season, it will attempt to automatically import the draft file that matches the current season the pro game is in from the FBCB leagues save folder each year. If you choose a specific draft file from the list, then each year the game will import the next draft file in the list until it runs out of draft files. At that point the drop down will switch to no files remaining. In order to run the leagues side by side using the same season, manual import will work much better for you. What you do is copy the FBCB draft file over to the draft files folder. You can locate this folder by going to Draft Files under the tools menu and choosing "Open Folder". Then go to the Current League Editor and set the dropdown to Draft Pool and select your league. Then press import and the game will display the list of draft files to choose from.

Are there any historical logo sets for the game? I'd love to get my hands on an early 90s or late 80s one.

I just noticed that HR added an option in the pro game to import the entire draft class from FBCB. (Or 100-500 players from said class)
I am so grateful for this feature, even if I only realized it was possible yesterday |

So do the players imported head to Europe if they aren't drafted in the NBA? How does this work?

If you have other leagues enabled, they will/might be snapped up during FA after going undrafted.
One thing I'd love to see is that the US-generated draft classes at draft time have all (or at least the top 20/30) international/non-NBA incoming prospects appended to it as well.

Yep, me too. Makes it time consuming when you want to generate history though - I simulated decades of college draft files in FBCB, then have the Euro leagues kick in around the early 90s in the pro universe, and stop each year to import the top euros into the draft classes.

Anyone know how to solve a Run Time Error 9 "Subscript out of Range" error? I get it when trying to load a career. Others load fine, so it's just the one league file that appears problematic. Any ideas?
Thanks. |

Contacting HR is probably the best source for these because it's a general error and could be anything. If it was happening when you were simming, my suggestion is to 1) turn on monthly autosaving because I have found that it will sometimes crash in the middle of a sim I was autosimming, only to come back and discover that it'll go the next time. Or sim manually for a month or two (e.g. not fast-sim) and then try it again and see if it works. Otherwise, no idea.

I've (FINALLY) started working on a public revamp of the HTML/CSS of the Pro and College series because it's been driving me crazy. I just hadn't gotten around to it.
I'm not done at all, but here's a link to the github repo of the Pro revamp I just threw together this morning that has a sample HTML file and a CSS file that changes that garish orange background to a blue color, uses Google Fonts to change the typeface you see, too. GitHub - quarterback/SimCSS: Revamped CSS/HTML for Fast Break College & Pro Basketball Simulation Games I'll eventually add the college version to this same Repo in a separate folder (called College). My future plans include some kind of improvement to the way tables get displayed too, but it's kind of tough because the game generates it on the fly and so if things get too slick, it might be more trouble than it's worth to generate things each time. Anyway...progress is slow. Last edited by Young Drachma : 02-20-2017 at 09:47 AM. |
