I’m building a custom Basketball GM league linked to Strava where real-life exercise drives player progression, and I’d love feedback/tips from people experienced with custom leagues and the game engine.

The basic concept:

• 8–12 team league
• One real-life “avatar” player per team
• Supporting rosters completely standardized/balanced
• God Mode + spectator mode enabled
• Players improve over time based on their real-world activity data from Strava

The workflow:

1. Import custom starting roster into Basketball GM
2. Sim a week/month
3. Export the league
4. Pull updated Strava data
5. Update avatar ratings
6. Re-import and repeat

Mainly looking for advice on:

• Best settings for a mostly hands-off spectator league
• Whether Basketball GM’s progression/regression systems could conflict with external rating updates

Would love any tips, warnings, or ideas from people who’ve experimented with custom leagues/modding.
