Buzz, there’s a reason this sim has been running for so long. Like anything else it has its flaws and hiccups with some questionable ratings here and there, but for the most part it’s been on point. It’s the closest to realistic we’ve seen. If you build a team with great chemistry it notices. If you build a team with bad chemistry it notices. If you chase star ratings and don’t take complimentary pieces into account it notices. If you’re top heavy and lack depth it notices. If you’re a tanker, it notices. Additionally, it’s very organized, and most of all fun to be a part of. You’ll see after getting more time under your belt. Again, by no means is it perfect, but I think the good far outweighs the bad. Our community of GMs here also add to the experience and I gotta say it’s been a fun ride!

While there are an enormous amounts of beef taking place, let's not forget the OG beef of 2010 and Hoffa.


The conclusion to their rubber match will be at 9 tomorrow, before the bubble resumes

while i disagree with a lot of the sim (they have harden as a 5-star often, when anyone with his complete lack of defensive capability deserves nothing greater than a 4), they have it more right than any other program out there.


zion will likely be a 4 or 4.5 out of 5. and that's where he should be. we still need to see if he's a 5/5 star kind of guy

Things have to be kept in perspective. If Collins is a 4.5 to 5 star player, then Zion has to be one. I have zero respect though for anyone who honestly believes Collins is a 4.5 to 5 star player. I think the BAF rater is overwhelmed and lost his basketball mind personally...


There's some you can't account for. Collins and Whiteside were SUPER high last year. I had Nurkic and he was ranked 2.5 stars after crushing the bubble and being a 3.5 star player the year before. It **** me. But I had triple double Elfrid the year prior. So you never do know.

But I think Zion is gonna get his rating next year. His offensive stats are bananas. The individual ratings will likely dock him defensively though. Rebounding too.


What I like about the sim is that it does run more realistic offenses than, say, 2k. Probably because you don't have to see it. But the numbers generally add up with what you're trying to do in this game and I appreciate that. And you can choose what style of play you want and again the numbers reflect that. Seeing all my 40% 3 point shooters either brick after brick or try to drive was driving me crazy last night. I just kept throwing back my head with a big "**** no that's not what I was trying to do."

I am not knocking the tool. It has a slick interface and seems to provide a lot of realistic options. I am knocking the Tool Admins.

They are a year behind in product updates ( ratings/NBA stats). And despite having a one year cushion, they still screw things up pretty badly. Furthermore, being one year behind in performance/stats is not considered a great feature for any sporting games I know of.

We are definitely using a inferior product and our admins seem to not be properly staffed to stay current. This is what I meant about 2K blowing our BAF loaders away. Its probably due to the amount of time they can invest to provide the most accurate and current product. They simply cannot stay on top of things.

Its just a game' and I love competing. I will play and enjoy the competition. But that does not mean I am going to let someone blow smoke up my ass and tell me how great this product is. Its only as great as the admins and loaders. There is nothing great about being a season behind every year.

I doubt anyone thinks or says it's great. But it's definitely better than 2k.

They update it once a year. 2k has the benefit of a large budget. This is a small company with a few employees, so they don't update it every week or so like 2k.

I don't understand knocking the SIM when there is simply nothing more superior out there. There will be outliers in any statistic objective based rated system.

Once you start including subjective based ratings there might be too much human element then is wanted as well.

Things we know the SIM appreciates are real life stats they are just extrapolated more greatly then some would like but it's simply the best solution.

What objective based defensive metric would you like the SIM to use? I can show you many errors with defensive rating or other stats like that. So the SIM favors more counting stats like blocks and steals.

That is ultimately why someone like John Collins had an elite rating. Not only did he have a monster year offensive both counting stats wise and EFF wise. He also put up over 1.5 blocks per game and nearly 1 steal per game as well when Zion has zero rim protection in his game.

Zion will probably get a worthy 4.5/5 star this year which is exactly where I would put him.

Just because Collins and Zion had a half better star just because they had better defensive counting stats (even though they are both suspect defenders in real life) or more 3 point shooting which the sim likes as well doesn't mean they did it wrong it's just the way the counting stats extrapolate into a rating.

That's why there are debates in real life. Like is he a good defender?

The Whiteside debate is fascinating because he is a counting stats enomoly where his impact on a real life court is nowhere near his counting stats production. He shoots and makes nearly all his shots and he blocks a ton of shots and grabs a ton of rebounds even though he is a horrible defender in space. But what countable metric should they to dock a player that isn't a good defender in space?

There are very, very few basketball SIMS that I don't have, or haven't tried.

This one is, by far, the best so far. Not perfect, but the best yet.

I do wish they updated the rosters more often, but once a year is better than not at all.

I also hate that defense doesn't get enough love. My boy butler should be a 4.5 star, or at the least, 4.

His defense is too elite, and he is amazing on offense.

There's some you can't account for. Collins and Whiteside were SUPER high last year. I had Nurkic and he was ranked 2.5 stars after crushing the bubble and being a 3.5 star player the year before. It **** me. But I had triple double Elfrid the year prior. So you never do know.

I think the sim is pretty accurate overall when you remember that is basically making it's ratings based off of the prior seasons results. It does not try to predict the future and forecast what it thinks might happen. When the player has the same opportunity and same spot in the offensive hierarchy. They come pretty close. Now, like in the real NBA, a player is taken out of a spot where he is the #1A/#1B option on his team and put onto a team where he is the #4 option. Obviously his scoring is going to decrease.

Since you keep talking about Collins/Zion:
2019-2020 Collins vs (Season 4 BAF) Collins
33.2 (33.1)mpg, 14.8(15.3) FGA, .583(.576) FG%, 21.6 (23.0) PPG ,10.1 (11.1) RPG, 1.46 (1.5) points per FGA

Given similar minutes and similar shots per game, the numbers were very close.

Now Zion vs (BAF Zion)
27.8 (28.1) MPG, 15.0 (9.1) FGA, .583 (.622) FG%, 22.5 (13.8) PPG, 6.3 (6.2) RPG, 1.50 (1.52) points per FGA

So yes, there was a big difference in Zions PPG. However, being on a squad with Luka, Mitchell, and Towns meant there were less shots available. However, his FG% was significantly higher as well which is to be expected when you are no longer the 1st or 2nd option and get less defensive focus. End result his 1.52 points per attempt was on point with his IRL 1.50. Now if Zion had been on a BAF team where he would get his 15 FGA per game. The points per game would likely match his IRL 2019-2020 number.

Now we can argue all day that Zion in his second year should have been expected to be significantly better and I agree. I made similar assumptions when I first joined BAF and immediately traded for Jimmy Butler based on what I thought he was going to do in his first year in Miami.

When you understand that this sim is basically trying to replicate a players previous season (and in the case of seasons lost to injury the season before that) and adjusting based on the role/team you put him in, it does an incredibly accurate job. Some outliers, especially when you only focus on 1 rating out of the dozen or so it provides, but overall accurate.

If you think a player is going to break out in the NBA this season, just realize that you are not going to get that player in BAF this year. If he breaks out like you expect, you'll get him next year. If you want a sim that will give you that player from the jump this season or slowly adjust to that player as the year goes along, then, yes, this is not the sim for that.

That is ultimately why someone like John Collins had an elite rating. Not only did he have a monster year offensive both counting stats wise and EFF wise. He also put up over 1.5 blocks per game and nearly 1 steal per game as well when Zion has zero rim protection in his game.

Zion will probably get a worthy 4.5/5 star this year which is exactly where I would put him.

Just because Collins and Zion had a half better star just because they had better defensive counting stats (even though they are both suspect defenders in real life) or more 3 point shooting which the sim likes as well doesn't mean they did it wrong it's just the way the counting stats extrapolate into a rating.

That's why there are debates in real life. Like is he a good defender?

The Whiteside debate is fascinating because he is a counting stats enomoly where his impact on a real life court is nowhere near his counting stats production. He shoots and makes nearly all his shots and he blocks a ton of shots and grabs a ton of rebounds even though he is a horrible defender in space. But what countable metric should they to dock a player that isn't a good defender in space?


There are very, very few basketball SIMS that I don't have, or haven't tried.

This one is, by far, the best so far. Not perfect, but the best yet.

I do wish they updated the rosters more often, but once a year is better than not at all.

I also hate that defense doesn't get enough love. My boy butler should be a 4.5 star, or at the least, 4.

His defense is too elite, and he is amazing on offense.



I actually don't mind that they don't update it mid season like 2K to be honest. Otherwise sim stats and production would never matter. It would just be solely reliant on real life. Say I draft a rookie and play him. His development in season should be based on his development in the SIM and not on real life on season especially if he doesn't play on real life.

Otherwise SIM stats would mean nothing during the season. I like that there is at least some internal game development even if it does reset every year.

I agree that defense is the toughest to quantify but ultimately that is the case in real life. NBA teams to this day are still trying to find defensive metrics that are perfect. Most are still flawed.

It tough to quantify how someone defends a P&R or defends in space or how someone fights over the screen. So much is just predicated on the offensive result and not how the play was defended.

Once you start including subjective based ratings there might be too much human element then is wanted as well.

I think an update halfway thru the year would be perfect. In case there are any breakout players, or the opposite

I sent Smash my lineup yesterday. He wanted to teach my upstart Pacers a lesson. Hopefully that game gets run today.

PG Doncic - 34 Minutes/Nunn 14 Minutes
SG Harris - 34 Minutes/Moody 14 Minutes
SF Bey - 34 Minutes/Gay 14 Minutes
PF Williamson - 34 Minutes/Bagley 14 Minutes
C Porzingis - 34 Minutes/Bitadze 14 Minutes


I remembered y'all lost by 15-20 points when BR last simmed us, isn't that right BR? I don't think another lesson is necessary, do you?
