First of all I want to commend BB staff on the viewer .... it is one of the best features of the game. I am not whining about it, just trying to help make it better.

I agree with some of the suggestions in this thread.

1) FIX THE BUG: that has offensive players rotating over to help defend on a play.
2) WAY TO MANY DUNKS: in a real basketball when players attempt to dunk, it is rarely blocked, or missed, yet it happens frequently in BB. There is a rich variety of ways players attempt to score inside... putting some of these moves into the text lines would add variety and excitement to the narration. e.g. "Jones catches it on the block, does an up-and-under move and goes strong to the basket." Or "Jones catches it in the paint, pivots and puts up a jump hook." Or "Jones catches inside and goes up with a turn-around jumper."
3) LOTS OF TIME TO SET UP: in real basketball nobody has a lot of time to shoot from the free throw area, and nobody's defender steps back that close to the basket. It would be more realistic to say "Johnson does a step back jumper to create space near the elbow." or "Johnson uses a shot fake to drive by his defender for an open shot at the free throw line." this is how real basketball players make space.
4) SHOT BLOCKING It would be nice if when a player blocks a shot it would appear in the text line .... e.g. "Smith goes up strong inside for a shot" followed by "Johnson blocks the shot" .... I saw several other people suggest this.
5) TAKES THE CHARGE As a coach in real life I think one of the greatest defensive plays a guy can make is taking a charge. Players in BB get offensive fouls, but nobody currently gets credit for taking the charge. It would be very cool if the BB text line on offensive fouls go reflect this .... e.g. "Williams rotates over into good defensive position as Richards drives baskeline and takes the charge." ..... "Offensive foul on Richards." If BB could start a statistical line on taking charges that would be the bomb.

2) You never played against me...
3) You never saw me play defense...

just kidding. Good suggestions.

so you can create full list of live comments and propose it for BB, if they`ll like it so most probably you`ll get long term supporter for the work you have done, if they wont, so at least you`ll give your best trying to improve this game.

One suggestion:
Being able to change the ticket prices at any time...
the actual system is bringing me to ruin,
there`s too many changes happening between one month and another!

Being able to change the ticket prices all the time is unrealistic, unless you made it that constant ticket price changes would cause fans to become unhappy and so lower attendance.

What do you mean by too many changes happening?
Anyway, they will be changing it soon so that you change the ticket prices at key points during the season. I.e. Beginning of the season, before playoff, during all star break etc.

Hi there!

What about some filter in the Tranfer Search Options witch allowed us to look for players who currently are in their national teams and are also listed for sale?

Wrong thread?

I'd like to see a line in the play-by-play that says when a player has fouled out. Right now, it just looks like regular substitution.
