I.e. infrequent all-stars plus one.


Oh, I didn't realize it was and-one. Thought it would be a refreshing to build teams without those elite players.

It wasn't to begin with, thought now maybe worth adding one MVP. But let's just go all-infrequent.


Agreed. Could have a no-MVP rule as you suggested. I like it!

Only players with 2 All Star selections or less are eligible.


I'd prefer we keep it at two, as suggested.

so its been a while since I played GMAT, maybe 6-7 years im thinking. I did love it, but when we lost the option to void TERRIBLE trades it became too unrealistic for me; when one person could fleece someone with the first trade and then win the whole thing. I was thinking about maybe creating a GMAT game where we have 30 DIFFERENT players, it would be 12 weeks long, and you would be allowed one trade a week that was subject to approval from the other GMs, would really like to bring the realism back to it somehow if at all possible.

I really like the strict restrictions in the last 2 drafts. Hope we run more games like these.

So starting 2014-15 then.

I'm fine with the tighter period but we might have to cap participants at 12.

My only problem is it's easier for games to be unbalanced draft position wise imo

The Phil Jackson Draft: you can only use player seasons during which Phil Jackson coached a championship team (1991-93, 1996-98, 2000-02, 2009-10)

Yes

Can one of the top 3 be an All Star with no All NBA appearances?
