Nah, my game is too predicated on athleticism. I'll decline sharply given I've very little technique.

And I'm all out of bubblegum.
There's a fun "GOAT Lab" thing, where you can define in detail the formula of how the game should calculate the greatest player of all time. There's a default one that basically uses MVPs, points, assists and peak defensive win shares, but I've been trying to add some more stuff, like rebounds, steals, blocks, award teams, etc. I won't reveal it yet (maybe not until everyone has retired at least once), but currently the GOAT is not a Cafite. Depending on how I add to or subtract from the formula we do have some Cafites near the top, but there's no guarantee any of you will make it. I guess that might be a consequence of basically adding 10+ superstars at the same time.

If anyone is interested (neeerrds), this is the current formula (with the default one in bold): 20 * mvp + pts/gp + 2 * ast/gp + dwsPeak + 2 * stl/gp + 2 * blk/gp + drb/gp + orb/gp + 10 * allLeague1 + 5 * allLeague2 + 3 * allLeague3 + 5 * allDefensive1 + 3 * allDefensive 2 + 2 * allDefensive3

Open to suggestions. I might have compensated defense too much compared to the default one.

Not impossible. Older players do generally drop much faster in athleticism. You'll always be tall, though, so who knows.

With what team(s)? Thanks
Minnesota in 97 and 98, Philadelphia in 05.

Incredible, will be amazing to see the list.

At first glance - it's missing things like championships won, games won, finals mvp (should be on par with mvp), dpoy. Not just because they are more relevant to my player. I'd probably remove the alldefensive 2nd and 3rd teams and instead add some of the ones I listed, if possible.

Also what is dws?

Oh wait defensive win shares. In that case you should probably all ows somwhere too for fairness, remove ppg/apg.

Might add ows, but think I'll keep points, assists, and just try to balance it better (maybe add more for mvp and peak dws/ows, since they kinda got diluted when I added so much to the formula.)

Will add finals mvp and dpoy too. Can add rings, but depending on the modifier none of you might be goat since some old players have like 11 rings.

When does my contract with Orlando expire? It’d be nice to not be the one carrying every year.

Here are the current top 30 GOAT Seasons. There's also a formula to that, but I haven't touched it. Red means in the Hall of Fame. Yellow star is won MVP. Black star is was an All Star. The ring is won the championship. altodevil isn't on it because it really likes points, and... well.



All I know is if i'm not top you've done it wrong.
You're 4th on the current list, but if I start adding championships and final mvps you might drop a bit.

The season stuff I can live with that. But in terms of legacy, I should clearly be in pole position now. So make sure you fudge the formula to reflect that.

That's why I started changing the original formula in the first place, because I don't think you were even in the top 100 when it cared so much about points and assists :lol:

Because the general audience doesn‘t care about it. That‘s why Hobbers and Solius (not sure about Hobbers) are sitting front row at Paris fashion week while Alto can go unnoticed to 7-eleven and buy a mountain dew.

My player shared my thinking. That's the sign of excellent character creation.

Watch Lakers management trying to improve the team by exchanging every single player.

-

+1 Hobber‘s happy with his playing time :lol: (probably not as smart off the court as on it)

I can’t fit anymore rings on my shaft. The people of New York were worthy of my attention.
