ok i have a question as to how important is offensive flow and stamina, i match up to my oppenent in everything but he beat me in offensive flow (strong him and im respectable) and beat me by 20 points. he got a lead on me in the 3 quarter which is where i start to not make much of an offensive action. what is the result of the decline.

I have a question - why did I win by so much and shoot so well?

sounds good to draw back troops, also im not complaining i was just looking at it as the hattrick standard of comparing stats. but i forgot to take into acocunt the fouls and rebounds

its my fault, but i did not realize todays game was a cupgame. now that it is over i understand that the c on the right meant cup, if i would have known that i might not have used this match for testing.
so maybe you could mark the cup matches alittle bit more significant, or am i just stupid, i don´t know :-)

ok forget it, its even coloured, lol :-))

no it was quite clear to me that cup games (thats what we call it in europe, i think) exist, but somehow i did not realize it was one when i set the orders - probably my fault. perhaps it would have helped to write cup instead of c in the schedules? despite the fact that i was playing and watching basketball a long time i am not used to all the abbreviations here, and i think lot of other people will find this a little confusing too. perhaps it might be a good idea to have the full name show up when you point the mouse on an abbreviation, like numbers as tooltips in hattrick??

and one other thing: afaik it is important for training how many minutes a player has played in a week, but how and where can i find this information?

From first impressions and after getting my first game under my belt I have to really pile on the praise for you guys. BB looks and plays fantastically. There are all these little improvements (such as the color coding of skills) that make it stand above more established games like HT IMO.
Having said that couple points I wanted to bring up:
My first match, when I clicked on the game "Match Report" the game flashes by in 5 seconds, using Firefox. I couldn't figure out how to start the game from the start, I clicked on the Q1-4 and it seemed to simply highlight the shot locations on the game chart.
The Box Score is wonderfully full of stats making it extremely like a real life game.
Another feature I found extremely useful was player history information on each player and the ACTUAL rating (eg. 5.31 rounded up to 5.5). I noticed after the Cup game that it only takes league games in to consideration, as a suggestion I'd personally enjoy having an option (in the drop down maybe) of League, All Games, Cup/Friendly games.
Another thing I noticed from the games my boys have played is that the Reserves tend to get more playing time than the Backups for some reason. I would think when the Starter gets benched/rested it would go to the Backup and then the Reserve but for 2 games now my Reserves have gotten more minutes than my Backups. For my next match orders I've tweaked my lineup to test this further. After my first game I thought it was due to the Stamina of the Backup but it's 2 games now so I figure I'll bring it up to see if that's working as intended.
