Yes... I mean... It should be displayed on the main page of player there are not a lot of people who looks at history of player page

Having players make the all star game should positively impact your teams merchandising. It only makes sense. When fans see a player on their team in the all star game they're more likely to spend a little more on jerseys, bobble-heaads, and other fan gear. To not over complicate things, it could be kept at that level so their is a little more usefulness to the All Star Games each season. Its nice seeing your players make the team but its even better when you know there's more to it then just aesthetics.


ANOTHER idea is league shared revenue from the all star week. All teams get a small cut from the 3p contest and the ASG. Assume a sold out arena and divide out the money from ticket sells. Tactically speaking, this could give players something else to look forward to, or rather plan for as the season progresses. That small additionally cash could be the difference between getting that last minute role player for your playoff push or you might take it and stash it for the next seasons draftee scouting.

Give the All Star Game more importance to the season

That would require better all star selections. The current all star selection is kinda random, and there are a lot of questionable players who make the team. Giving them an undeserved boost doesn't really seem fair really.

Look at real life in the NBA. Some of the guys that make it dont arguably deserve to be there over some of the players that didnt make it. It happens every year.

The All-star selection being the way it is now is fine enough and realistic enough for what im suggesting. It could be refined more but for the developers sake, i dont see it as a high priority issue.

The bigger issue is the lack of overall value from the games. Theres just not much importance in it right now. Giving it more value could also add to the general competitiveness in each league and desire for the game as a whole. To keep anyone one team from dominating the all star selection too much there could be a limit of 3 players max from any one team. If theres a team thats super stacked and would resultingly have like 5 guys make the team, this would prevent that from happening. Even in real life, sometimes teams are just that good. Look at the 04/05 Detroit Pistons when literally 4 of their 5 starters all made the all star game the very next season at the same time and the following year 3 of the 5 made it again. Same thing with the Spurs when they had Duncan, Parker, and Ginobli. For this game set a limit to no more then 3 from any team in case any team is really just that good.

Sorry I beg to differ. As much as some unqualified people might have made the all-star team due to fans from their country voting them in (eg. Zaza), in the last few seasons, almost all (if not literally all) the all star players are generally top players in the NBA.

As opposed to in BB, where you can have a 100k salary center not make the Allstar Game despite putting double double in every game, and have the starting center of the conference earning below 20k salary. If that's realistic to you, I guess we must be living in a different reality.

You can differ all day and night if you want for the sake of argument but the all star game and break in general should be given more value in my opinion otherwise its a break in the season that's pointless all together.

Your talking about a 100k center opposed to a 20k center but for 1, i have NEVER seen something that drastic before. Stuff happens at times but i doubt that's the regular and if it is the regular for you, maybe that 20k center brings more value to his team if hes got a weak team around him opposed to that 100k center that probably has a few other guys on the same starting line up that are also high salary players.

I don't know if your following me there but again point is, the value of the all star games is non existent. What, its a barometer of who's going to make the playoffs or some mess like that? You can already tell who the top players are in your league based off the league stat leaders and teams with top records so where is the point in the all star game other than to stick with the typical of any basketball league..

Change the game mechanics on it or not, i cant say im that concerned on that but give it more value beyond being mildly interesting in any given season.

Also on the salary bit about the 100k guy and the 20k guy...Salary isnt always the greatest measure of a players ability. Think about it like this. Skill drops happen as players get older and of course salary with it, meanwhile their experience is still going up. Someone could have been 160k and over only a few seasons drop to as low as 20 or lower k. That player is still a highly capable player even if it doesnt show in his salary

My bad didn't notice you were from D.4, so you probably won't see much of such players anyway. You'd have such things when you go up to higher leagues, especially in micronations. Furthermore to say a 100k center having enough skill drops to match a non training 20k center is laughable, even though it's for the sake of argument, but please don't make stuff up.

Like I said, all star selection is a mess. It shouldn't be any more than bragging rights.

That was....let me think....PATHETIC. When thats your response, you gotta know your a joke that you cant even make a legitimate argument and so you rely on PETTY insults to make yourself feel better. You are an absolute joke to me now. I actually had respect for you as i initially do for everyone but now my D4 *** has ZERO respect for you.

How brain dead are you that your incapable of reading and comprehending the simple concepts i presented? I even gave you a link to copy and paste just to exemplify my meaning on the skill drops from a high calibur player that was WELL BEYOND 100k not that long ago but still repeatedly makes the all star game AND post 20+ point games in recent history in Your league of all places despite the salary. What exactly am i making up right now? Funny story, that same player dropped over 40 points on your team last time you played him.

Lets not get cocky because of fantasy game success and become disrespectful for no good reason.

Wow touchy. Meant no offense but if you really wanted to take it that badly, I apologize then. I never meant to belittle you, but you can't deny the facts that in your division and earning power, you won't see more than half the league with starting lineups that cost 300k to 500k, which is what we are seeing.

So he posted 44 points against my 3k salary rookie who is 6k this season? Then he makes the allstar despite other people posting big numbers as well, and performing on a more consistent basis.

He's not even on the league leaders board, mind you. Which further shows the flaws of the ASG selection and makes it even more logical NOT to give any tangible rewards in the ASG. Hitting a random 40 point game against a newly drafted rookie and making the ASG over players who have consistently performed well then your team gets a reward. Not the best way to go IMO.
