Just to confirm, do I still get the equivalent of 1 SC and 1 RC for running the wire?

you get a SC and RC that you can't convert to cash

Are the rewards for game performance cumulative? So if I have a 55 point game, I get the 40 and 50 point bonus?

No, you get the highest one I am pretty sure

[Druce]

This is great and how I always thought it should be done. Love the game performance stuff as well. Nice to get rewarded for looking at box scores.

20's is correct.

[Odin]

Many thanks to Souper Troopers Buster 5000 20s Navidad for helping me get this done. We'd be waiting a few more seasons if it wasn't for them.

[Lazy Pete]

Odin, question about articles. I talked with 20s about it a little this morning. I've got a couple season's worth of articles banked and want to add them to my Dump Bucks bank. Would that prevent me from being able to use any SC's this season? Also, can I cash in the 4 or 5 articles now or do they have to be spread out across a couple seasons? If it's the latter I could see this cutting back on article activity for at least a couple seasons

You can only cash in 3 Articles per season, like we were doing before but you can do whatever with them. The SCs are still limited to 3 as well.

So, you can only cash in three articles and you can only buy three SCs. Pretty much the same concept as always but with more flexibility.

[IanBoyd]

limiting how many articles u can cash in makes no sense, you can write as many articles/cash in as many as u want imo, but limit using SC to the standard 3 per year.

everything is standardized into 1 currency now, why should pete or fason have to wait for another season to convert an article they wrote 5 seasons ago into casino points?

[Odin]

I'll think on it

[Souper Troopers]

ian's idea is stupid. what's to keep me from writing 20 articles this year and cashing them in for 100,000 dump bucks.

stick to the 3 used/cashed in each season. makes the most sense.

[Bankz]

Just so I have this correct... We can cash in a total combo of 3 SC and Articles per season ? Or can we cash 3 each?

[IanBoyd]

cashing in article means adding 0-5000 points to your bank
cashing in SC means converting 5000 points into a +5

I don't see at all how you could be confused about the two.

[Heebs]

Can we add some achievements that reward slower offenses? I really like this system (it is much more straight forward, which as an overwhelmed newbie, I appreciate), but I feel like I need to switch my offense to fast or very fast to get more possessions and more opportunities for stats.

I expect that the bonus categories would be efficiency based. 0 TOs (min. 30 minutes played), shoot over .600 (minimum 10 shots), etc.

I thought this as well, they do seem to favor the high-paced offenses. Last year my team was at or near the bottom in FGA and other stat categories because I ran slow pace all season. Also slightly favors outside focused teams since those are the ones who tend to put up higher point totals per game

[Odin]

We could probably come up with something.

[Souper Troopers]

assists totals and FTA/FTM/Blocks are normally higher in the slower paced offenses

Again...  by cashing in do you mean turning them in Dump Dollars... Or do you mean turning them into SC +5 for players. 

[kn88]

Love the amnesty option

[Odin]

You can turn up to 3 Articles into dump bucks.
You can buy up to 3 SCs.

It's literally exactly how it's been done forever except you can turn the articles into dump bucks if you're not turning them into SCs. This is not that difficult to follow.

[Bankz]

The wording confused me... Thanks for clearing it up

[Odin]

I'm not very good with words.

[Bankz]

yeah I wasn't trying to be a dick head. thanks again

[Bankz]

can we add these for the shit teams? 

Team 
commit 30+ fouls = 50 points
20 turnovers = 50 points

shoot under .40% = 50 points
shoot under .35% = 75 points
shoot under .30% = 100 points 
have more turnovers vs assists = 50 points

attempt 10 or more 3's and make none = 50 points

Player
Turn the ball over 8 times = 100 points 
turn the ball over 10+ times =150 points 
don't make a shot (min 10 attempts) = 100 points 
foul out without scoring a point = 50 points 
foul out without collecting a rebound = 50 points 
finish with more turnovers then points (min 25 minutes played)  = 100 points 

Team Yearly 
average less then 6 assists per game = 200
average less then 6 steals per game = 200 
average 15 turnover per game = 200 
-20 ppg diff = 100
-25+ ppg dif = 200 

Player Yearly 
shoot under .40% (must average 12ppg) = 200 
shoot under .35% (must average 12ppg) = 500
average 4.5 turnover per game =  200 
average 5.0+ turnover per game = 500 


Thoughts?  Tweaks?  Odin Souper Troopers 20s Navidad 

[IanBoyd]

Player
Turn the ball over 8 times = 100 points
turn the ball over 10+ times =150 points


I wholeheartedly approve of these... (yo)

[Souper Troopers]

Yeah I'd vote to stay away from those type of "rewards".

[Bankz]

Teams who tank have zero to look at box score wise... and good team rake up the points against them.

If you keep the point totals low at least they get a little something... even if you knock the rewards in half from what I posted.

I don't think it would encourage anyone to tank and you can collect a few points to put into your rookies

[Face-in]

Not a fan of giving points to teams for being exceptionally terrible and this is coming from somebody who would be raking in the dump bucks for the next few seasons with those additions. Tanking GMs can use the time they would spend looking through box scores to write some articles.

This is a great outlook.
