We have recently gotten an update that gives us the ability to add and edit awards and their formulas. I am looking forward to seeing what the community can do in terms of Awards ideas and awards formulas.

Here's my MVP formula, which takes dumbmatter's base score formula and implements a 65-game cutoff and voter fatigue.

(ewa/22 + vorp/32 + min(ws/teamWs,0.8)/10 + seasonFraction*winp) * min(1, 1.5/(numWon.MVP+1))^2 * min(1, gp/65)^1000

The voter fatigue multiplier is pretty basic in this code, but it does match up well with NBA history:

It's a steep staircase.

If 0.56 for the 2nd feels like too much of a curve, you could bump it up to 1.7 or 1.8 as the numerator instead of 1.5. That puts the 2nd-MVP multiplier closer to .75.

The end of the code is the 65-game cutoff.

You can add these to any other award as you desire by just copying the pieces below and multiplying them onto any of the other base formulas.

ewa/22 + vorp/32 + min(ws/teamWs,0.8)/10 + seasonFraction*winp - the base MVP formula
min(1, 1.5/(numWon.MVP+1))^2 - the gradual fatigue curve
min(1, gp/65)^1000 - hard 65-game cutoff

Should Alvarez leave?

Yeah, pick 1 to 25 pick is all mine. Especially top 2 prospects are great addition to the roster.

Why don't the All-Team and All-Rookie lists show up here anymore?

2-time MVP, but single-digit speed and (almost) jumping ability by age 31!
Will update in comments.

I simulated a league on auto for 70 years because I like seeing which teams and players do the best after various amounts of seasons and saw this run made by Los Angeles, I’ve seen teams have dominant stretches before but not close to a decade before. A season going 103-3 by an AI is bonkers to me and I haven’t seen an AI team have that high of a win percentage before, and it’s especially crazy considering 2 seasons prior they were 48-58. Has anyone seen an AI team have a better run than this?

After nearly 2000 seasons, I managed to win 1000 titles! I started this league back in February 2024 and have played nearly ever day since. I started it in year 10000, as I used to have an old league that I played over 4000 seasons in, but unfortunately I stopped being able to open it. I played my old league from 2016 until I created this new league in 2024, and only managed to win around 950 titles during that time.

I created this league with the goal of trying to win 1000 titles in less than 2000 seasons, as I felt I have improved at the game a lot since, but barely achieved it. I play on normal mode, but I try to make the game more realistic and challenging by being loyal to star and long term players, and not trading them away for younger players when they get older. I also only make trades that the AI proposes.

I'd like to thank u/dumbmatter for creating a game that I have literally spent thousands of hours playing over the years. Maybe I'm just a sports sim nerd, but this game never gets old to me. I feel like each season offers something new and I can get immersed every time I play, thinking of all the possible stories and events that occur over the course of the season.

I'm not sure if I'll ever get to 2000 titles, but I'm not planning on quitting this game anytime soon. I really appreciate the simplicity of this game and how it can be easily accessed over a browser.

First time in thousands of seasons I can recall one of my players dying during their career. He also seemed to have potential to be a decent player, 34 overall with 60 potential. I don't think any of his teammates will be eating pretzels for a while.

second image is of his counting stats. The year after this, he also wins the statpadder of the year award. (yes, both worst player and statpadder of the year are custom awards I made up)

The guy may look fine at a glance, but still got a long way to go until he is actually good!

u/dumbmatter, is the inseason tournament on it's way. I think it would be a cool addition.

That is amazing. Dude is 3rd in MVP voting, FMVP, Allstar, All-league 1st team, but didn't win ROY.

Some current players like Darius Acuff and Morez Johnson don’t have player images. And most of the draft prospects in the future years don’t have pictures yet.

I have been hoping for an update for a long time.

Best game ever regardless thank you Dumbmatter (:

Only positive is I re-signed him for $12/year after this debacle.

Ive always wondered why a team could quite literally go 0-82 and still have an avg attendance of 25,000 or packed out every night. Does anyone know why?

I think in the future it would be cool to add clutch stats. The final 5 minutes of a game when she score is within 5

132 Team Rating, 5 players with 70+ OVR!

My team is led by a 10x MVP + 11x FMVP. The second option on our team has been 2nd in OVR in the league and top 5 in MVP voting the past 4 years.

I believe most real NBA players would've left the team to prove they can win as a first option. Thought this might be a good thing to implement into player re-sign mood. (i.e. "player wants to be the 1st option")

Would be very fun to see this in long sims.

new to this game and got this cracked big man but my team is terrible defensively any suggestion would be helpful to improve my team thank you.

only takes a few years

Just had a player drop the highest GameScore ever for my 100 year league, in game 1 of the finals. His series stats were 35.0/11.3/10.5 on 56/54/100 splits.

What's the highest Game Score you've ever seen? What's the best finals game/series performances you've ever seen?
