Thanks for the quick reply Gary.

Manual expansion would be just fine. If expansion is not able to be implemented could more league sizes be added? I would love to have more than 30 teams and would love to have the option of 12 or 14 as well.

As always, thanks for listening.

For some reason I wasn't expecting this to come out until 2007. I love TPB2005 but I've played it so much, I just can't wait for the next game.

Will be the first to buy.

My suggestion is to make the draft more interesting. Online leagues die out because the real names age and get old. If the draft is tough and takes a great deal of effort to do well with picks, then it creates stars out of fake names and leagues can last longer.

How you do this? Keep straight-up number ratings hidden entirely from owners, produce a verbose scouting report and statistics. Allow teams to call 10 players in for workouts to get more information about them. That way teams actually have to scout. How feasible is this? Feasible enough that I did something like it for my simulation baseball league by writing a VB program for it: http://www.purestats.net/current/draft21.html I had no software team.

You would sell me on this game if you did it :)

Count me among the first to buy this one. Total Pro Basketball 2005 was the finest sims I've ever played and I know this one will continue the legacy! I absolutely can't wait for this and I'll be drooling over it the moment the 1st screenshots are released. :D

Im sorry but we don't release the actual release day until about a week or two before - the biggest reason is that we don't know for sure what day it will be and there's no point in giving a date we might miss and then have everyone complaining that its not out yet.
