Build a Franchise (Season 5)- Discussion thread

[E-Balla]

These results... Looks like they cleared up inconsistencies to my chagrin.

LaMarcus not making 3 star is absurd though. Final ratings better have him back up with how he's playing now.

Also expected TJ Warren to not drop due to injury. Seems like I guessed wrong.

Randle 4.5/5 stars incoming

Could be dropping with the way he stinking it up this season and Wolverine Studios paying attention to early season production.

If that’s the case then Drummond and Levert bout to get dropped too

Spoiler:

[2010]

My bench got done kinda dirty.

Graham, Hardaway Jr., Barton, Kuzma, and Ibaka all failed to make 3 stars.

Was hoping my depth would be a team strength but with it looking like Wolverine Studios designating that whole unit as 2.5 star players, I’m annoyed my bench may not be the strength I projected it to be in order to make up for a lack of top-heavy star power.

Yeah, you got done dirty with Simmons, Warren, LMA/Dragic, and even Brown.

Brown didn’t make 3-stars despite the per 36 production and the efficiency, right?

Hopefully their individual strengths make up for the overall drop, similar to Gobert.

If that’s the case then Drummond and Levert bout to get dropped too

Spoiler:

Drummond won’t cuz the bulk of his rating is based on his rebounding and steals rate for a C. Which are still top tier. Offensive efficiency has never been the anchor of his rating.

LeVert could see a drop due to early dips in his production but he probably gets the benefit of the doubt due to coming off injury and playing his way back.

Randle completely healthy.

Yeah, my hope is to follow that championship season model you had with Westbrook and a deep supporting cast where everyone played a vital specialized role and with good chemistry 1-15.

[mpharris36]

Gobert only getting a 3.5 when Drummond has the same rating is kinda odd.

Spida/Booker/Jaylen Brown were all guys that should have 4 star IMO. Hopefully they get bumps.

Spoiler:

it wasn't meant to be slander. Gobert is a DPOY at center. Drummond is very productive but we both know they aren't the same caliber.

You might be right with Drummond but I don’t think Levert is a sure bet. Murray just dropped .5 stars cause of his injury even though his stats last aseason are better than the year before that. I think it’s the first time I seen a rating drop cause of injuries actually. I guess we’ll see though

Oh snap!

Randle, Vuc, Sabonis >>>> Dame, Trae, Morant.



Sim loves its Bigs

[mpharris36]

Vuc????

[3toheadmelo]

Randle, Bam, Tatum, Lavine all 4 stars or higher

[NewEra]

Dame is much better than that. Hopefully he kept his 100 scoring rating. You have nothing to be worried about.
