    I'm looking to implement a lot of games for the site, some fantasy in flavor. If you have ideas for what you want to see done, post 'em here!

    Sim games would need have to levels of complexity. For example, in a keeper sim league, a team needs to be able to develop players differently than how they develop in real life. This means, once a league starts, the player attributes need to be influenced by how the teams in the sim are structured. As this site grows, it should have the ability to run multiple leagues for each of the sports it has sim games for.</p>

    As far as the levels of complexity, some league commissioners like to be more in depth than other ones, so some settings like how the salary cap and luxury taxes are managed, salary cap exceptions that are used to sign players and free agency should have multiple configurations. </p>

    Traditional roto leagues would be nice also with the option to have keeper leagues with varrying amounts of kept players and some cutomization on scoring factors.

    One of those 82 game fantasy leagues for basketball would be nice. </p>

    You just get your roster, and put in your lineup (I believe you got to pick 8 people: PG, SG, SF, PF, C, G, F, C) . Then its like 60 regular season games. You will have scores going in multiple games at the same times, as the game is tied to your players game. So Ben Gordon's first game for the Bulls will count in your score for the first game, his second game for the Bulls will count in your second game and so on. Once all of your players have gone through their team's first games (even if they didn't end up playing in it) the results are finalized. </p>

    ESPN had a fantasy game for one season (that I know of, maybe it was more), but you had to make a team of 5 guys(2guards,2forwards,1center) and a coach everyday. The players value was based on their efficiency rating for the season, and the coaches value was based on how much their team was winning. But your team could only be 100 points total, so you couldn't load it up with just all big name guys.</p>

    Andtheneachnighttheywouldjustcalculatetheplayersefficiencyratingfor that particular game was calculated, and thats how you got the points for that night.</p>

    NBA.com does one similar to that in which you pick one player each day and get points for them.</p>
