Pre S19

[Eberlicious]

For 3M

For Preseason sims would you be in favor of eliminating the positional rules? If so who would you run out of position for fun?

 

[SoftLettuce]

Yes. Elim the positional rules. As a team trying to tank, I think it'd be hilarious to see Drew Gooden run as my PG. But for a serious answer, Bron at PG is what I want to see @Cloud.

 

[The Godfather]

Yes it would be fun to experiment

I dont know it would depend but Deng might be fun at PG

 

[yrtb]

I don't know enough about FBB to know how broken an elite wing or big can be at PG if they have good handles/passing. But it makes sense to me that guys like LeBron can play point guard.

And bigs should absolutely be able to play SF - I hate it when I have a center who can shoot but doesn't rebound and I can't play them at SF

 

[Kings]

For preseason experimentation, I have no problem with it. Only problem I could see is some teams intentionally going inactive to leave cheesed players at PG. would help us learn about some different prospects

 

[Panic!]

No. It would be very hard for whoever does sim 1.

i'd play Romeo Travis at Center because I want a center with volume

 

[brooks]

No, I think it would be kind of pointless. Keep preseason as simple as possible for the people inputting it.
Plus, you don’t stand to gain much besides wishing you could play certain players out of position during the regular season.

I'd run Chandler at PG.

No, you know damn well someone would just post same in the sim 1 dc thread and see how long they can run it.

Also pointless, see what your player can do at a position he can’t even play and then try to use that as a selling point?

Seoungyhun Lee would like to play SF!

 

[Cloud]

I think we need to repeal position rules to begin with, it’s supposed to be a fun league, it’s instead led to donkey nuking every players goddamn handles. Let people do what they want, there’s no guarantee that running some player out of position even leads to success anyways

To answer part 2 I mean obviously I’d want to see LeBron play PG. There’s no good reason he shouldn’t be able to play there anyways

 

[CLB3]

No, because it would just end in everyone playing random lineups that we won't be able to play in the regular season. I like to make adjustments based off of PS. This would eliminate that.

 

[GB]

Nah it ruins preseason for people who actually want to see where there teams are at. Some gms will use pre to see how someone plays in a certain dc but if they end up matched up with a bunch or guys who literally aren’t allowed to play pg.
We could tweak positional rules but being able to play someone like bron or jokic etc at pg is just dumb imo

 

[mngopher35]

I am fine not doing it because of the extra work it creates but...

Ya it would be fun to get the chance to see how certain players do there. If it goes well you then know the player could maybe be backup pg if needed etc. so it could have use. I would play Roy there just to see how good the numbers would be

 

[Swope]

If people want to do that, then sure, why not. I kinda try to get a feel of what I might be able to do in regular season so I don’t care much either way.

LeBron at PG would obviously be interesting to see how many triple doubles he could rack up

 

[notail]

I'd be down for any changes based on majority's opinion. If we're allowed to play players out of position, I'd want to try a big/forward with good handles at PG like Jokic, LeBron and see how they do.

 

[Emac]

I like the rules as they are. You can still put whoever you want in backup roles.

 

[AiRuPtHeRe™]

No - I don’t like the idea. I like the position locks.

I would play Derrick Williams at PG

 

[hokeyrules]

No keep itt normal. That being said, Andre Drummond at PG

 

[BradS4President]

I would say keep rules as is.
Running Bog at point would be fun. Fire away from deep

 

[G9.]

I think it’s fine the way things are. We can still slot players at backup point guard. That should already be an acceptable middle ground.

while players like Lebron and Giannis sometimes run the ball up the court, they don’t necessarily play 37 minutes of point guard per game for 82 games.

for pre it would be whatever. Would still prefer a real pre as well tho, lol. So like a meme pre and a real pre. Maybe just do a meme pre every few years as like a “bonus” sim. Communicate with donkey and do it during one of the seasons he looks to be a little more busy (a couple more days for draft file).

 

[LukaSZN]

I would rather not have more work in pre/

I would've played Brook at SF though

 

[the_jon]

No because I think it will lead to a situation where gms post a pre DC with guys out of position and then dont post anything for Sim 1 and it gets missed.

 

[Nate]

No. It essentially would make work for the simmer when it's all said and done. Having to move so much more for Sim 1 than normal. On top of that, it takes even more of the value out of pre-season. Would essentially make it worthless overall.

 

[Just Swaggy]

Whatever makes it so there is less work before sims would be best so you guys can sim sooner imo.

 

[Just Swaggy]

Also, where do I post to get a team if at all possible?

 

[Hooper]

Don’t really care either way. If you remove it entirely I’ll try some absolute fuck shit with centers at PG. But I don’t think anyone really benefits from it, and it’ll probably be annoying for inputters to fix peoples DC who play Dwight Howard at PG then don’t log on to fix their dc for sim 2. Impartial to it, if you guys want sure. If not, don’t care.

 

[Xxplayerxx23]

No, because it would just end in everyone playing random lineups that we won't be able to play in the regular season. I like to make adjustments based off of PS. This would eliminate that.

85% of people play random dcs

 

[Xxplayerxx23]

I vote no. Brandon Roy shoulda played PG and it wasn’t allowed!

 

[NCツ]

I vote no, but it was cool the one sim donkey let KG run PG in a CPU PRE

position rule needs to end though. This league has too many rules and regulations. Communist party leadership

 

[Xxplayerxx23]

Eliminating position rules changes the whole game here lol

 

[Scott]

Nope. Doesn’t make sense to do it just for preseason especially. After the PF cheese at PG from way back when the position rules have always been a necessity.

 

[Donkey]

No, because then when someone doesn't post a DC for sim 1 it won't get changed back. I wouldn't waste my time running someone out of position either that I wouldn't be able to use in the regular season.

 

[Foreman]

Yes eliminate positional rules.

I'd want to see how much Kobe could be cheesed at PG. Or maybe even Matt Bonner for the meme
