Prior to 1924 free throws were taken by the best free throw shooter on the team rather than the person who was fouled. Using God Mode you now have the option to change this in your league. Historical leagues will naturally evolve.
In addition, the number of fouls to foul out has increased over time from 2, to 4, then 5, until we got to the current 6. Now historical leagues evolve the same way.
July 12, 2020 - New Feature
For historical leagues, whenever there is a rule change or an expansion team you should get notified of it and it should get tracked in the event log (Tools/Event Log).
In addition, if your team's logo, region, or name is changed you should also get notified. These types of changes are now tracked for every team in the event log as well.

When basketball was created in 1891 there were 2 halves of 15 minutes each. This was increased to 20 minutes in 1906. Eventually the NBA brought the current 4 quarters of 12 minutes each format. The game will now evolve in the same way.
In addition, the Game Simulation page now allows you to switch between halves or quarters (or any number of periods in a game).

When basketball was created in 1891 field goals were only worth 1 point. In 1896 it changed to the current 2 points. The game will impliment this rule change for you as it was in history. However, you can also go to the Game Simulation page to enable and disable this rule yourself.

The Game Simulation page now allows you to make era adjustments to steals, blocks, turnovers, offensive/defensive rebounds, and personal fouls. In addition, I've improved the era adjustments before 1950.
July 8, 2020 - New Feature
When God Mode is active you now have more control over your league's era. There is a new Game Simulation page that allows you to turn era adjustments off and also allows you to input your own era for FGs, FGAs, 3Ps, and 3PAs.

The Player Development page has been expanded to include options to control specific rating changes. When combined with the base rating options you now have essentially complete control over player development in your league.
July 6, 2020 - New Feature
I have expanded the ability to adjust leaguewide player development. You can now control the base ratings changes as well as the noise around those changes. I have moved everything to a new Player Development page that becomes available when God Mode is active.
July 5, 2020 - New Feature
The base ratings change every year for players can now be adjusted using God Mode. You can now set your own player development career arc for the league. This primarily impacts fictional players and real players outside of the 1950-2020 period where season and team adjustments can matter a lot (unless you turn them off).
July 4, 2020 - New Feature
Previously you had to always choose whether to repeat a single year using the Advanced Play Menu. Now you can use God Mode to do the same in case you forgot when creating the league or used a quick league create option.
Using God Mode also now allows you to repeat a year that isn't the starting year of the league. So at any time during your league you can choose to do this now.
