Do you want a hard salary cap?

  1. Yes, 70 million hard cap.

    48.5%
  2. No, makes it too complicated.

    51.5%

    Also let's get into the free angency period. Yes/No?

    Had I known there was a free angency the last draft I wouldn't have traded Thornton for an 8th rounder...

    In 2k11 one of the options in the sliders is something like, "pass the ball to post"...this can be adjusted and it really makes a difference. On my 2k11 Association mode I upped that slider to around 65 to make the game more realistic, surely worked.

    I really think 2k11 simulation is a great idea, it would be a lot of fun. Especially the playoffs, if we do best of 3 series or something.

    I don't mind doing some test runs and recording them -- giving each owner the chance to give me certain numbers such as Defensive Pressure, Run plays vs Fast break, Pass ball to post, etc...before each game. I don't mind, I typically enjoy these types of things.

    Test runs as in, if we like how its going we go on with it...if we don't we can go back to the voting instead of simulation. But I really think we should give 2k11 Simulation a chance...

    That's fine then, i'll leave it up to you guys. I'm not too well-versed in video games.

    No free agency. No trades. Draft only with no extraneous BS.

    What do we do about player ratings though? Aren't 2k11 player ratings based on the 2010 season?

    Well 2k Sports provides their own roster updates, and these include ratings. All the ratings are very fair...if we go with no rookies then its even better. The player ratings are based on where the player was after Trade Deadline of this past season.

    I was hoping I wouldn't land the #1 pick, cause people would've accused me of cheating. I'm cool with #7, middle of the pack.

    I did the draft order the way the NBA draft does. Ubigman landed Yao Ming!

    When Ubigman makes his pick :grin:

    For real though, no free agency, No newly drafted rookies, after 3 hours you get skipped.

    Bigman has until 1:43 pm to make his pick.

    What's the salary cap? We're using 2010-2011 salary from hoopshype, right? And its a hard salary cap?
