1983-84 NBA Season (PS4) Work-in-Progress Thread

[fcf250]

I've kicked off on two historic rosters: 1978-79 and 1983-84. While I've done a bit of work on both, I think I'm going to work to finish 83-84 first. I'll use this thread to make updates on progress, and also to ask for advice and opinions about specific players where my own research falls short.

If anybody reading this is good at CAPs, would love a collaborator - I'm passable, I guess, but mostly get guys that look sort of similar to the real-life guy rather than true likenesses.

I'm definitely not one of the star CAP-makers when it comes to faces but I was planning on putting together 84-85 rosters and most of those guys would overlap with your 83-84 rosters. So I'd be willing to divvy up some of the guys to make it easier on both of us.

Some players lend themselves better to CAPs depending on how similar they look to the preset faces...with other guys, all you can do is give it your best shot.

Good choice! Really interested since i was planning to do some mid 80s season and most of the players Will be the same.

Started looking at the 84-85 rosters and what do you do with the extra teams? There would be 7 extra teams.

I usually make 7 teams full of 60/69 Gates players. This way they dont ruin your simulate 85 season.

And what about divisions? Do you put all of the real teams into 4 divisions and then have 2 divisions of dummy teams?

No, i try to keep the original divisions...this way the dummy teams dont hurt much
