This will be where I post the stream of updates that I figure out over the next day or so.
I'm going to first work on getting the teams in the right divisions and work on trying to get the draft lottery/pool ready to go asap.
Keep you posted.

Question because it is feasible. Will there be expansion teams? Since a league can hold up to 40 teams.
Add one to each and go to 4 4's or 2 8's in each Conf?
Idk, Sure it's in the works/thoughts but just wanted to throw it out there.

Yes, we have plans for expansion up to 40 teams but over time.
UPDATE - I have all 30 teams entered and in their correct conferences, and all of the rules/finances are set.

That might be a bit yet. I am not sure I can load the player file in AFTER running the draft order.
Right now I am furiously entering players but I'll try and run a test later to see if it is possible.
I'll try to get the order out as soon as I can because I want to know it too.

I've got somewhere around 75 players made and a good amount of time tomorrow.
We'll probably start the draft on Monday.

Im more or less looking at how we're using the historical data base, if your making classes each year or if its gonna go year by year draft wise, random.. I assume no dleague or anything.. any type of schedule changes, playoff formats.. etc etc

I'm making my own database because I can't figure out how to use the historical database and start with more than the set amount of teams available in the league at that time.
So I am making them from scratch.
I got another 75 or so done.
Notables include (but not limited to):
Wilt Chamberlain
Bill Russell
Elgin Baylor
Bob Pettit
Clyde Lovellette
Jack Twyman
Bob Cousy
Mo Stokes
Dolph Schayes
etc

Ya i noticed that issue myself kinda looks like you have to start with fictional players (thereby creating your own) then adding historial guys to the mix with draft classes or make your own draft classes yearly like before. Since i have the college game too its nice to be able to use classes etc that i used there and could plug into the new game..

Given my unfamiliarity with the game and the small amount of time I have to dedicate to it, I'll be lucky to go over .500 in any of my seasons. A former legend brought down to size.
I'll be just like Rick Adelman!

You should see if the new release installs for you.
Boo on the Adelman noise.

What are the payment options for FBB3? I've got a little extra paypal funds, but not everyplace accepts it. I'd like to understand the new game so that I'm not super behind the curve
