Option to allow retired jersey numbers to be reissued after (x) years, or stay retired
Allows you to retire multiple players with the same jersey number
Keeps you and the AI from running out of numbers to retire, esp. in long running leagues
Adds prestige to the numbers that you choose to stay retired (GOATs, Franchise players etc.)
You can build a lineage of legendary players who wore a specific number in your franchise (ex. Barcelona 10, Cowboys 88, etc.)

Adding onto this, I would love an established team ring of honor

Next to the league champions banners, there should be divisional champion and conference champion banners that can be toggled on and off, of course.
Edit: All-Decade teams for the entire league and your team; Anniversary teams for the entire league and your team.

Show the player’s progression for the season (ex: OVR +4, POT -6) when clicking the little graph icon next the player name (that displays the player’s stats like strength, height, speed, etc).

Only trade offers that actually match salary cap. Gets very tedious late into a save having to do all the gymnastics to make a deal work every single time

u/TyOpposite 4d ago
I just ignore the offers that don’t match salary, most of the time it’s almost impossible to match without giving up too many players. I think we should only get offers that match the salary cap, or at least an option to, so I hope he hears your suggestion.

In Frivolities, you could add a All-time starting 5 for each team, decade, or just an all time starting 5 of all players

International Teams, and a World Cup / Olympics etc system in the summer. Could be turned on/off or have a minimum required active players from diff countries? Not sure just always thought it would be so cool to have in some saves.

A dedicated legit trade block where you can put up your wants/needs and teams will offer accordingly in Trade Proposals. For example, want 1st round picks, 50-57 ovr prospect under 22, etc..

Ability to extend contracts before they expire like in real life This might be more difficult and/or make the game unbalanced but contract finance based not only on the rating/potential of a player but also their current stats and output (E.g. a bench player demands a bench salary and vis versa)

Would it be possible to have the different draft years be searchable? Team DP1 for this year, DP2 for next and so on and each year they change teams at seasons end.

-Add a seperate tab for the final stats of players, just as regular season and playoff does on the players stats page and individual players pages.
-allow for position-based awards, just like the rookie only & bench only options on the award setting page, or as a variable in the award formula
-in the award settings, make the “Ui Stats: Overall” actually show all important stats (Blk, Stl, WS) rather than just offensive stats

Probably more hassle than it's worth but could we get an inverse trading block? Much like the search screen and trading block combined so the human trams can ask for, for example a F with >60 Jmp, and the computer teams offer trades that fit that description.

Custom Settings saved like in NBA2K so you do not have to go in and get your exact specifications every time

I had a bit of look at the behind the scenes before my eyes started spinning so I'm not sure if this is a thing, but if it's not, could it be. Are hard fouls are thing? A big boy centre fouls a point guard and he loses a tiny bit of endurance stat or something like that? Maybe a difference in STR determines how much END is lost, if any? It would make my starting allstar centre fouling out of the game a bit more palatable.

For combined awards, there should be a way to specifically choose the playoff or regular season version of a stat. And combined being the default.

Accurate contract rules (like 7+ year contracts before 1999, the reserve clause before 1975, and no rookie salary scale before 1985). ABA players being put into their original draft classes like David Thompson in the 1975 draft, and Julius Erving in the 1972 Draft, if you start in 1976, their automatically put on the Nuggets and 76ers respectively.

Probabilities for draft age. I would like to make the possible ages for players in the draft class to be like for what it is for countries, so it’s not just evenly split between all the ages

ability to see player's stats in any individual playoff series, being able to see what a player averaged in the previous series instead of clicking through all 7 games

u/Legendtner 3d ago
This more so counts for all the ZenGM games
- Position creator
- edit/create a teams history/results/records/achievements from past seasons. Or when you create a new game you want your teams to have a backstory.
- edit/create a players history (with games played, ppg, rpg, apg, etc.) including past seasons including past awards
- non tournament games that don’t count towards a league record (if pre-season or in-season tournaments are able to be implemented, so you can treat those games as such)

u/Zionisacat 3d ago
Could we get some fuzzier numbers, or an option to make them more or less fuzzier in the award race tab? Could we also get some tighter rules on the 1st, 2nd and 3rd teams worh two guards, two forwards and a centre. I've been trying to tinker but I can't seem to make it work.

An option to freeze the salary cap and max contracts for the league, when starting a new game. I always turn inflation to 0% with godmode, as the contracts just get too large to follow after a few decades. I just lose the feeling if I am actually handing out a good contract or not. Would be nice if you could still track the achievements after changing that setting. Thank you.

Suggestions: 2 specific league settings can be changed WITHOUT using God Mode:
- Positions can auto-generated. I like seeing a player progress and go from a SG to a GF, for instance.
- Rookie contract lengths can be either the current default (3 & 2 years) OR the NBA default (4 & 3 years preferably, but I'd also be happy with 4 & 2). u/dumbmatter and I disagree whether BBGM rookie contracts should be 3/2 or 4/3, and he's the goat and it's his game, but I wouldn't mind being able to toggle between 3/2 and 4/3 without invoking God Mode. Sure, if you wanna do something crazy like 15/10, that should require God Mode, but it would be nice to have a non-God Mode option just as we do for equalizing populations

Have players gain nicknames similar to how players get there's. Possibly have it generated at the draft or over time

Ability to extend the player year ahead of his/her contract also the ability of player to refuse the extension
