Whelp, a lotta talking, but it’s finally here. Credits to BuzzerBeater for helping, couldn’t have had this out today without him. Without further ado, let’s get into it.
The main idea of the mock is trading your players. However, you have goals and targets you need to reach, which may be fair, may not be. To keep it simple, you’ll either be tasked to rebuild or build a contender, with slight tweaks to it. Expect 3-7 of your players to be mandatorily traded.
The rosters are the exact same as real life, as of July 23rd, 5 PM EST. If a Damian Lillard or James Harden trade happens tomorrow, it does not affect the mock in any way.
With a lot of players, comes a lot of trades. As it’s the 23rd today, you have until July 31st to finalize your trades, before we start simming. All mandatory players must be gone after the deadline. Just because you have to mandatorily trade certain players, doesn’t mean you can’t trade other players, unless they’re apart of your goal.
The sim will be done on 2k over the course of 3 in game years. Remember overalls, progression and regression, players minutes, ect. There will be 3 stoppages:
Christmas Day (July 31st)
Trade Deadline (August 5th)
End of The Regular Season (August 9th)
Once the first year is over, the sim will continue out like a regular mock, so no, there won’t be waves of players you need to trade.
There will be a pool of free agents set up, that you can sign. It’ll work like the Chaos Mock, where you have to tell them why they should sign with your team.
There will be a point system, for reaching goals and trading players. Thought this might make a little more sense as it’s own section.
Every player your supposed to trade that gets offloaded, is 5 points. If you offload an all star or prospect, you get 10.
An All Star a player who was in the the all star game at least once in the past 3 years
A prospect is a player drafted 10th overall or higher in the past 2 drafts.
You also get points for accomplishments. If you get a contending goal, you get:
20 points for reaching the first round
25 for the second round
40 for the conference finals
40 for the finals
50 for winning the championship
If your goal is to to tank, here’s the points you get
15 for bottom 3
*20 for being the worst in the league
15 for getting a top 5 draft pick
20 for getting the number 1 overall pick
I’m not sure about these, and you may see adjustments, but there will 100% be a point system
The Rules
The Rules are pretty much like every other mock, but I’ll write them down anyways:
Follow the rules of Fanspo at all times. I think this is a given
Keep the mock a friendly environment. I don’t wanna see anyone mad at people because of trades or what not
No alts or burners are allowed to be involved in any way. HOWEVER, if you want to make a woj type account for the mock, you are 100% allowed to. News accounts are allowed also, just don’t mess with the mock.
Because of the mass amount trades, stepien is off, as I feel it would make trades easier. But yeah, cap rules, recently traded, ect are also off.
More rules will be added, just wanna keep it simple and I can’t remember anything else for now.
