The Advanced Play Menu Now Lets You Force Players To Be On The Actual NBA Teams They Were On Each Year Of Their Careers

June 22, 2020 - New Feature

Previously you could choose for a league to start as it did in the NBA for some particular year. Then over time the league would diverge from the NBA. The Advanced Play Menu now has an option that forces players to be on the actual teams they had for their careers. So Bill Russell will always be on Boston and Michael Jordan will always play for the Bulls, no matter when you start your league. Whatever changes happen during the year do not carry over to the next year.

Standings Page History, Team History Page, Team Records Page, And More Now Fully Support Historical Real Player Leagues

June 21, 2020 - New Feature

Real Player Historical leagues have playoffs changes, new divisions, and teams that change divisions. All of these are now taken into account if you look at the history of the league. Here are some of the pages with changes:

  • Standings page: Historical standings show the correct divisions and remove teams that did not exist yet.
  • Team Records page: Calculates championships correctly for every year in the league, not just based on the most recent playoff format.
  • Team History page: Calculates playoff performance correctly for every year in the league, not just based on the most recent playoff format.
  • Roster page: Historical rosters calculate the playoff performance correctly for each year, not just the ones based on the most recent playoff format.
  • Season Summary page: Historical summaries calculate the champion correctly for each year, not just the ones based on the most recent playoff format.

Depending on how old your league is some of these improvements may not be fully supported. However, any new leagues should display correctly.

Advanced Play Menu Now Allows You To Choose Whether League Will Have Expansion Or Keep Number Of Teams Fixed

June 20, 2020 - New Feature

You can now keep the number of teams fixed for historical leagues. In addition, when using fictional players with real teams you can now have those league undergo normal expansion. These are both options when using the Advanced Play Menu when creating a league.

Advanced Play Menu Now Allows You To Choose Whether League Structure (# of Divisions) Evolves

June 19, 2020 - New Feature

Historical leagues will now expand the number of divisions from 2 to 4 in 1971. Then again the number of division will expand from 4 to 6 in 2005. You can turn this off in the Advanced Play Menu when creating a league.

Advanced Play Menu Now Allows You To Choose Whether League Evolves Cities/Logos/Names

June 18, 2020 - New Feature

The default for historical leagues is for team cities, names, and logos to evolve over time as it happened in real life. However, the user's team(s) does not change. So if you wanted to be the Seattle SuperSonics the game won't change it on you.

The Advanced Play Menu now gives the option for you to keep cities, names and logos fixed or let them evolve. You can do this for the league as a whole and for the specific teams you control.

New Quick Play League Create Menu Options

June 17, 2020 - New Feature

As we have expanded the number of options when creating a league it has made that process a little cumbersome if you just want something simple or are new to the game. So I have created:

  • Quick Play - Real 2020,
  • Quick Play - Historical, and
  • Quick Play - Fictional menu options.

The prior Create New League is now called the Advanced Play Menu.

League Analytics And Roster Page Enhancements

June 16, 2020 - New Feature

The League Analytics page now has a dropdown that allows you to switch between current players and healthy players. So you can see how you should expect teams to perform now and in the future when they get fully healthy.

In addition, I've also added the ability to sort the roster page by purely overall ratings as well as the standard position adjusted sort.

Real Players For 1891 League, Plus Pre-1940 Real Player Ratings Adjustments

June 15, 2020 - New Feature

I have added the real players of the first ever basketball game in 1891 to the 1891 league. So now every league type has real players.

In addition, I also reviewed the pre-1940 real player ratings and made some adjustments.

Recent Cache Bug Fix

June 14, 2020 - Bug Fix

Quick Summary: Press Shift-F5 if you are on a desktop if it doesn't load normally for you (v2020.06.14.1142). A more complete explanation is below.

Normally if you want to get the latest version of Grizzled GM Basketball you have to:

  • go to basketball.grizzledgm.com when there is a new version,
  • leave basketball.grizzledgm.com,
  • and then return to basketball.grizzledgm.com where you should be able to use the latest version.

The bug we just had would never show you the latest version even after you returned. I've put in a fix.

What you have to do if you are using a desktop is:

  • the above three steps to obtain the latest version,
  • and then just do Shift-F5 (which further refreshes the cache that I'm not able to do on my end).

If you are using a phone it would be the same except there might not be a way for you to finish refreshing the cache.

What you have to do for mobile devices is delete the browser cache and cookie. Unfortunately, this deletes all your leagues as well. So you need to Tools/Export any leagues you want to retain. I would also recommend visiting the site and then just deleting cache and cookies from the past hour. Sorry there is not a better fix for mobile.

Alternatively, I will be keeping beta.grizzledgm.com up to date for now. So if you don't want to mess with cookies right now you can just go there.

If you have any question just let me know.

Alternate Temporary Link Until Cache Issue Fixed.

June 12, 2020 - Bug Fix

You can now use beta.grizzledgm.com until I get the cache issue fixed for basketball.grizzledgm.com.

I'm hoping for a fix in the next day or two. Regardless, the caching works for the new link so I'll upload updates there in the meantime.
