I actually dislike the forums in hattrick too. Confusing. What's so hard with just a regular, nice, forum? I think Supporter in Buzzerbeater is supposed to be that way. You don't need it to enjoy the game.

Supporter - Maybe it's just me...but it just doesn't seem like I need supporter to enjoy this game. Not sure what it is missing....but I just don't feel compelled to buy it.


I'd get it just for the private leagues alone, which is more enjoyable then the actual league/cup games. Add the the bookmarks and gameday scoreboard and I'm more then sold.

Use to be addicted to HT, but then BB was created and now just farming NT players with my HT team. The GE experience is exponentially better in BB plus in HT I never liked the fact that financially you were best served to sit in the lower divisions instead of promoting.

I do like HT's changes to training which encourage cross-training now and are more realistic (skills train faster at lower levels but slow down when they get to higher levels). Also a big fan of the team confidence measure, something I would have preferred to see adapted here instead of the enthusiasm system.

I used to be a DIII champion in Hattrick, but then I just started hating it. Probably the biggest reason was Form. There was no rhyme or reason to changes in Form, and it just ruined the game for me.

Well, you could always train form. But then it's like paying the Mafia protection money... "I would hate to see anything bad happen to your precious form..."

-youth scouts

Buzzerbeater

-private leagues (although the first con negates this a lot)
-playoffs
-training arrows
-game shape reset in offseason

Con
-lack of feedback unless you want to watchi realtime

-neglected BBAPI
-lack of coaching options
-random substitutions
-draft interface
-navigation

I've played both for awhile (although not super seriously). My biggest beef with BB is the lack of ability to develop young players. The draft system is more or less a lottery--it's terrible and terribly expensive over the course of a season to get an idea of which players are decent.

HT is a little too one-dimensional but I do love the YA system. It's more interesting than the main team to me now.

Never played HT myself, but it can be very hard and expensive to pick up a potential NT trainee in BB. Even with spending a lot on scouting you are subject to a roll of the dice.
