I am not sure how acceptable the idea is to a lot of people.

Realism seems to be a big factor here but I think even though this doesn't exist in the big basketball world.

I would like to see mixed-sex teams in BuzzerBeater. Adding just female names and female pictures could attract women to play more BuzzerBeater.

what is this!? my man-brain simply cannot comprehend this suggestion. perhaps if a non-man were on a non-BB team i would consider this.

though in all seriousness i'm not sure how it would translate into skill levels. if it stays realistic then no one would want a player with crap skills no matter what their sex is.

I would think to make it possible to play the skills would be unaffected by the sex of the player.

But it could be cool to have some sexy girls playing on your team.

I don't see how having female players would attract women to that game. Especially after you talked about sexy girls ;-)

In the real world, do men and women ever compete in this fashion?

There's mixed netball teams out there (I think) but korfball (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Korfball) is a true unisex sport.

I'm not keen on the introduction of female players to BB rosters as I can't see any purpose in doing so.

I am against this idea.

Maybe it will attract few users, but disgust many others. Women playing this game will rather invite more erotic pictures:D Maybe new supporter feature:))))
