Just a tiny suggestion: Potential may grow up with training as time goes on (or drop as time flies)

Just like in reality, OJ Mayo was MVP in NCAA, but didnt even become a star in NBA. I think training is an important attribute, so his potential was revised from MVP to star around the age of 24.

Another example is Gilbert Arena, who was good in NCAA but not many people expected him to become a superstar in NBA. Once he was picked by GSW, he became a MVP for his team in several seasons.

Make it simple: Training makes the different in this game. Potential could change if players are being trained almost to the cap. BB could review or update the potential during new season.

BuzzerBeater's Best should have a page that keeps track of player stats and records like regular leagues do.

As a newer manager... I found it quite difficult to purchase a trainer. It took me many attempts and over a week. Reading around a bit I saw that the arenas used to be smaller but then had their capacity increased for new managers.
I thought of maybe 2 solutions that could be used and wondered what anyone thought.

Suggestion 1: have a separate staff market only accessible for within the 1st week of a new team being created where you only have to outbid other new managers for staff.

Suggestion 2: have an option like the "what level competition do you want" but have it geared towards having higher starting staff at the expensive of lower initial profits due to increased salary costs.

What do you guys think?

That is not simplyfing things, that complexifying it. "You have a potential, but it can change, maybe possibly".

Mayo and Arenas (who was more a star for Washington than GSW) are already happening in BB. That guy, (31690797), for example seems unlikely to fullfill his MVP potential while on the other hand some some PA or Superstar capped will be extremely important for their teams.


If this is the case, then BB could lower down the potential from MVP to superstar at the age of 24 or similar. On other hands, some PA or superstar were trained almost to the cap at the age of 22~23, then let's raise the potential to MVP.

90% players should remain the same potential, maybe just update 10% players (5% potential will be lowered down; 5% potential will go up). Let's see whether BB managers like it or not.

Would it be possible to cover team record with question marks on the news page until the game has been opened?


I realise this is slightly pedantic but I keep logging in to watch my games after they have happened (the question marks in the schedule page are great for that) but because the game updates so quickly after fixtures now (not complaining about that, good job Marin), when I login i can see if i have won or lost because the record shows on the homepage.

When I login in its the news page which has

'Welcome to BuzzerBeater, brazilianblur!
Congratulations, London Kings have appointed you as their new general manager! This season, they are currently sitting on a 2-1 record in league II.2, one of 4 division 2 leagues in England. etc etc etc
Good luck, and we hope you enjoy the game!
-The BuzzerBeater Team'

Its not really a big deal but would be good to not update the record until i've seen the game. It didnt used to be a problem when the leagues updated the next day but now (as I said before congrats Marin) the leagues update a couple of hours after the games so the result is obvious when I login.
