I have loved this game and all the others for a long time and now I keep getting these T-Mobile ads that take up the whole page on Android. I close them then 5 seconds later I get another one. Going to the trade screen seems to pop them up which is terrible because I trade all the time the way I play

Could we get one ad when we open the game or something else??? All of the little boxes squares at the bottom etc are fine but these new ads show up right on top of everything trying to get me to click them

I tried uninstalling and reinstalled but no change

So im in a predicament in which I have three point guards, and I'm trying to trade one of them for a solid GF or F or PF, and I have multiple options that are all super capable, and would join my team, but only for one of my PG's, and I dont know who to trade. do I trade the 29 year old luka doncic comp, the 26 year old donovan mitchell comp, or the 25 year old haliburton comp?

Hello everyone, hope u are doing well! My name is Julia - im a pro basketball player.

I'm doing a research: “Is that possible to make basketball recruitment process easier”. Sorry for disturb , but if you don't mind spend 10 minutes of your time and fill out the questionnaire. The information will be just for me - I won’t share with anyone , just curious to see which problems basketball coaches/managers have - to try to solve it) If you have any questions, I will be happy to answer them for you! Thank you for your time!

I saw this great post yesterday about an AI generated podcast using this website called notebook LM (https://notebooklm.google/) and I knew I had to try it out.

So I really like to immerse myself in BBGM, and so way back when I started my current league I had the idea to document everything that happens in my league each season. On Google Docs I've been managing a record of my reactions to stuff that happens every season in my league, including Player feats, injuries, and thoughts on my own Celtics team's success and rosters changes that I make. And especially for the playoffs, I keep track of what happens in each playoff series and individual player performances.

So after having done this every season, I now have a history of everything that's happened in my simulation for the last 50 years and counting. Which I realized would be perfect to throw at this new Google AI, which can make a podcast about any document you give to it.

I took the section of my google doc covering the last few seasons of my league, and uploaded it to the AI.

And this is what it it got me:

https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/ctkswh8tmhiq75ulki2sx/podcast1.wav?rlkey=s44m6jtnlrium2murflijq6zj&st=2e7e4w2w&dl=0

I'm blown away by how it turned the information it was given into a coherent story. Didn't expect it to frame the entire episode around the dominance of my league GOAT, Lamelo Morris, but now that i think about it, a whole lot of my comments in the Google doc revolve around that dude (mostly me complaining about how he kept asskicking my team) so it makes sense. It even compares events and players in my sim to real life NBA history. Talk about elite ball knowledge.

The way the AI concluded the episode with a discussion on GOAT legacy is icing on the cake.

"Can a player truly be considered the greatest even if they never win a championship without Justin Wagner by his side?... Does the championship make the player, or does the player make the championship?"

I'm definitely going to mess around with this some more. It's so much fun.

sounds familiar, anyone who has a time traveler on their saves?

Welcome to the 2024 Q4 season of the RBBGML (Reddit’s Basketball GM League)! Here is a quick rundown of how the league will run.

The “regular season” goes from 10/1 to 12/15. During that time, you will play BBGM and try to assemble the best team you possibly can in a Real Players league with the in-game year no later than the current year. The use of God Mode is strictly prohibited. If you think you have up to three really good teams that would be worthy of competing against other really good teams, you must DM me your league file which I can pull teams from. If there are any AI-run teams in any leagues you submit whose OVRs are over 100, then they will be included in the postseason.

If you wanted to submit a really, REALLY bad team for the funnies, you may do so. Just be aware that you likely won’t make the playoffs.

You also must choose a different team name than what the team you built was called, provided that it is either a) the name of an NBA team, or b) already being used by another team. If you have three teams, you will choose three team names, your A-team (the one with the best rating), the B-team (the one with the middest rating), and the C-team (the one with the worst rating). These postseason-exclusive team names will be recycled each season unless you wish to change them.

If I suspect that a team was built partially or entirely with the use of God Mode, on 12/16 (start of the postseason) the team(s) who cheated will be ranked lowest, in inverse order of team rating. Ties in ratings will be broken via exhibition games. They will automatically miss the playoffs.

If everyone cheats, then the postseason is run as if no one cheated.

Generally speaking, around the top 50-75% of people that submit teams will have their team(s) make the playoffs.

The playoffs begin on 12/19 and will go as long as necessary. All P/O games will be played as exhibition games in BBGM at a neutral site with playoff intensity enabled and standard NBA sim rules. Teams will be seeded based on rating. If there happens to be any ties to determine playoff positioning, tiebreakers will all be played on 12/17.

All playoff series are one game long. The Championship Game will take place no later than 12/31.

The 2025 Q1 season will subsequently begin on 1/1/25. You are not allowed to submit teams from previous seasons to compete in the postseason. You are, however, allowed to submit teams made before the start of the current season provided that they have never been submitted to be in the postseason before.

SUGGESTIONS FOR CHANGE ARE GREATLY APPRECIATED!

To preface, I'm pretty anti-generative AI when it comes to game development. Hopefully goes without saying.

HOWEVER, I do think generative AI may play a really interesting archival role in gaming. One example being obvious features like a "where you left off", but more interestingly the opportunity to turn your individual game experience into a compelling, memorable narrative.

Which would be especially useful in sports games.

So I was messing with Google's NotebookLM over the weekend and threw in a hastily formatted recap of one of my league's seasons (it's a USA expansion league, hence the year). It gave me an almost nine-minute long podcast surveying the league.

Yes, it got some things wrong here and there (although less than expected), but it was incredible to hear fiction framed this way. Definitely one of the most "tech that feels like magic" moments I've experienced in a while. Check it out:

I'm going to keep experimenting, but a fun exploration of my league in the meantime.

This was requested by users of the sub to reduce the amount of suggestions posts. Please post any suggestions below!

I have a 9 season title streak going on Insane Mode (edit: it ended at 10 seasons), but it is tough to sustain as my generation that carried us to the titles has aged out.

It got me curious about what the longest streak is. Is there an official records page for the game for non-God Mode feats by managers?

If not, how many have you all managed to string together?

I have played with one team for 500 plus years. I am 0-58 in finals losing to buzzer beaters in game 7 to injuries to best players at wrong time. Is this cursed and should I just scrap this game and start over?

I wanted to try to create draft prospects from my country into my league but I noticed that we don't have a flag. I was wondering if anyone knew how to add the country image?
