Hello and welcome to another season of DDS: Pro Basketball! FirstAccess begins on Tuesday, October 20th at noon EST. At that time the game will be available for pre-order in the webstore and the first beta build will be available for download then. We will also be having a FirstAccess launch party on our Twitch channel at https://www.twitch.tv/wolverinestudios at 2PM EST so please stop by and say hello!

Prior to pre-ordering and starting play I want to lay out a few things for you so that we can have a positive experience during FirstAccess.

First, what exactly is FirstAccess? For a really good explanation please visit our blog at https://www.wolverinestudios.com/2020/0 ... rstaccess/

Second, if you find a bug, experience a crash or have a suggestion what should you do? The best thing is to check this forum right here and see if a thread exists on it. If not, start a new one. I will lock the threads as I fix items or if I have implemented that suggestion in a build. I will post here in this forum when new builds are up and will post a download link to update the game. If you need to install the full game please use the link provided to you in your purchase email.

The game is expected to be finalized for full release on 11/19/20

I want to stress that participating in FirstAccess is totally optional. If you are simply buying for the discount that's cool and we'll see you on the 19th of November. If you do have the time and inclination to help us by testing from now until then we certainly appreciate it.

If you're not sure if the game is for you I encourage you to do the following.

1. Read our blog post detailing some of the new items in this year's version at https://www.wolverinestudios.com/2020/1 ... ins-today/
2. Visit the DDS:PB21 homepage at https://www.wolverinestudios.com/draft- ... imulation/ - there you will find screenshots, the trailer and a list of some of the new items in the game.
3. Visit our YouTube channel at https://www.youtube.com/c/wolverinestudios - there you will find weeks worth of Developer Dynasty streams we have done so you can see things in action.

And if you are still on the fence after 1-3...

4. Wait for the demo which will be available upon release - we always have a free demo that you can try and see if the game is for you

One thing to note going in - there are now two options for starting a default league in the game. One starts in the offseason and one starts at the start of the season. The latter you will find temporarily disabled in the beta builds because obviously there are no start of season rosters yet. Once there are that option will be enabled even if it is slightly after the launch of the game. The offseason start option is fully functional and will be updated as we go along.

Thank you to everyone for your continued support in making this the best basketball sim game on the planet.
