BuzzerBeater Forums

Just wanted to drop by and say thank you for creating and also maintaining this game. Adds another layer of excitement to my life, and has been for many years, so I am genuinely thankful for it, cheers! The game is perfect, so keep on doing you, guys!

Ask Marin is it truly worth training skills past 20? Ie 20 OD VS 23 OD
-I'm dangerously close to revealing too much here but personally, I'd say no, it's not. There might be specific situations where this might give you that "edge" that gives you a victory in a very close match but these are super rare.

How about this one, on the same topic?

Even if the calculation logic is different for >20 and <=20 skills, teams ratings (greatly increased by >20 skills) are supposed to effect every situation on court. Is this not the case?

I’m dreaming the day that BuzzerBeater will have a new match viewer any plans? [link= https://widgets.sir.sportradar.com/live-match-tracker#matches:(matchId:50487587,sportId:2,uniqueTournamentId:262),settings:(layout:single),sidebar:(selected:versions)]

Since this is turning out to be a very controversial answer and I feel I could have done a better job writing it, here's the question, answer and correction:

Correction: The simple answer is that there is a noticeable difference between skill level 20 and 23, so yes, this training will not be in vain, especially in at highest levels of competitions (NT matches, etc...). As levels progress, differences between them become smaller and smaller but still, there are differences!

Hope this clears things up at least a little bit.

What percentage difference is there between a triple and a normal shot for the same scoring player and the same defender with the same match tactics?

I say this because I think it should be known, I await your response and continue improving the game
