BuzzerBeater Forums

I appreciate the effort to summarize all the changes that have been made, but to me this list proves precisely CM-Alonso point

Those are very small changes which doesn´t change at all anything in a structural way. And I want to point out that I don´t want to discredit the work made by Buzzerbeater bosses. That´s not my intention. But if you think that this list are changes then we are in a very differente position regarding of the meaning of changing something

On the other hand, about the controversial topic about if a 53% against 47% is a great majority or not, it could be argue both sides. In this world most of the deccisions are made with much worse differences than 53 against 47. In fact, democracy is not de form of goverment where everybody is equal, but the type of goverment where rule is decided by majority, and by definition usually majority is being considered 50% plus 1 more. Do you think that in some occasións that´s is not enough? All right, then define when is not enough and perhaps we could even agree on that

Please, we musn't loose de human factor on the bid system. The most exiting thing is to know that other person is biding and the figth between. How many bids ends with a BBmail wiht something like "Well, the player is yours, enjoy it" and you don't even know if its genuine or sarcastic.

Just curious, what do you classify as big changes? Some on the list are definitely bigger than an autobid system.

Im confused on what you classify as small, because any change to tactics is major, that shifted the meta a bit. Teams aren’t LI heavy anymore. Teams are running more varied offense and defense now! Once again Alonzo did not say there will be a test, it sounded like a full overhaul of the bid system. That’s where managers pushed back, I guarantee if he mentioned a small test in his proposal. There wouldn’t be as much push back. Only argument going for autobid is not waking up vs people going against provided more concrete points. Which circles back to my statement, “don’t bid on players that will put you in a compromised position.” Have accountability for bidding players that will have YOU up . No one said you have to bid on them, sounds like a blame game if anything…

Well, I´m not here to develop a game, I would like to do so, but I don´t have time, but from my point of view boosting the effectiveness of tactics is not a big change at all.
I guess you want some example like you and other player had said. Well, let´s put some example which came to my mind in a few seconds whithout considerations about the implications. Just a remainder, the point is to show an example o big change, not to show a big change which will improve game experience. The second thing will require to reconsider a lot of times and I don´t have time to do so

Some examples:

change the structure of leagues. Now is more or less, 1-4-16-64-256 an so on... lets put it like 1-4-8-16-32-64-128 and change how much we earn for tv in each division and a lot of more things you will need to change in order readjust everything

Another big change, lets put some more juice in the game. create a few more skills for players and then you probably should change something in time trainings, but I can assure I could come up with at least 10 more skills in five minutes

I assume you don´t like this changes at all, but I will propose a couple more in order to show you what a I consider a big change

lets change how it works salaries in the game, for example lets put a maxim for each división and a penalizations for which teams that surpase the limit, and the fine should go for the rest of the teams on his own division. Something based on NBA system but with some changings

lets put another change, instead of organize teams for countries, let try to create another way to put into groups, in a way we have for example 20 regions withs symilar numbers of divisions and teams, and then reorganize internationals competitions



Just a remainder, I´m not saying that I would like to see these changings, just I want to show you -like you ask- what I consider a big change

Another big change, lets put some more juice in the game, create a few more skills for players and then you probably should change something in time trainings, but can assure could come up with at least 10 more skills in five minutes

Okay this is big alright but from this I can see why "big changes" such as this don't happen XD

That said, groupings of micronations and the implementation of BBM should be a big change as well since it's somewhat similar to your last point. So I guess they do happen from time to time, we just don't notice it.

I am all for this tho! I think it has been suggested before but not sure why it died down.

As for the majority argument, my main issue was with how the poll and initial post was framed, not with the percentages themselves. I personally believe that major changes should be closer to 2/3 approval (66%)

I get that and I assume there would be a lot of more players that share this opinion, but in my view, if you put that kind of requiriment in order to go through with a change, then you can forget any substantial change forever. That´s the reason I get CM Alonso when he says that People are against changes (substantial changes of course) and I think is true. To be honest, it is in our own nature as humans to dislike changes. we get more comfortable when things stays as they already are.

To me the focus whenever analyze where to go with changes in game should go in two directions which complement each other, to satisfy the current players and to ensure the game gets bigger regarding number o players playing it. Sometimes People tend to think that both thing could be diffult to balance with each other, but to me both are completely linked.

If you want to ensure content of current players, get make sure that the game outlast as much as possible, and I think that in order to get that you must enlarge the buzzerbeater community and draw much more players. When you don´t change, things tend to die or dissappear, for that reason to me sometimes it is sad to see how people resist even not substantial changes like the outbid here discussed. But of course, it is just my feeling, you don´t have to share it
