I am trying to figure out how allowing this is in any way in the best interests of the game. And the blanks in the lineup score points and play defense. How does that make sense or promote the game?

Promotional ads: "You too can design a lineup of less than five players, watch your fanbase go wild, and the gate revenue explode!" "Realize that fantasy matchup of Jordan against the world!" "Here is a fantasy simulation where the lineup you choose doesn't mean shit!" And "Ever dream of being a fantasy banker? Here is your chance!!"

Again, I realize we don't have to mirror professional basketball exactly, but what professional team carries a roster of 5 players and what fanbase would support that? I'm not understanding the appeal of participating in a basketball simulation that allows these kinds of gimmicks. Why allow it?

And the other problem with only having 5 players is that if any foul out or get injured, you have "lucky fan" filling in. What's the appeal?

And I wasn't being critical of that approach. Small steps would be great. It's a worldwide game, so I can't expect to understand everyone's approach.

Booooooo!

I have 1757 players for sale and I'm $25,835,360 in debt. Buy them at outrageous prices, or be selfish and make me go bankrupt. You decide, BB.
