BuzzerBeater Forums

So I've discovered an issue-
It would be very hard for BB to put all "seniors" into the draft with their skills. I don't think it would be as hard just to put their name in, not skills. Instead of generating names- the names would already be generated. I don't see a huge issue with the players not having the same type of skills because in real life- lots turn out to be not what people thought they would be lol

Honestly, no offense, but I don't think it would be all that fun. Because what is the point of training a player when he is young, if he is just gonna lose those skills? And I wish there would be a way for a team to keep its college players.

I dont think he should lose all of his skills- I think they should go down a reasonable amount. Maybe you can choose to use your 1st rd pick to automatically get that player? Like- You wouldnt know potential- only skills- and you would know they would go down a reasonable amount. Thoughts?

Also- Dont forget training wouldnt be super fast because these kids have classes ;)

And, I think it would be really fun to compete in a tourny division and you have a division rank.. Do you?

Maybe I really love this idea because I love college basketball- especially march madness and I feel like implementing a "March Madness" would be so cool and fun because no team would have a huge advantage over another.

I'm against this entire idea for a few reasons.

1. This sounds better than how they are doing the 2nd team for supporters... and since the supporters are paying money (which helps keep the site up and running functionally) they should have the better option.

2. If you're doing things right 1 team is plenty already.

3. This implies to me that Buzzer Beater is "the NBA" players go from college, to get to here... Last time I checked, there aren't divisions etc in the NBA. I always thought of buzzerbeater as more for the basketball players good enough to play professionally, but not good enough really to play NBA.

IE: Chris Singletary, Hamin Quintance, John Edwards (after he left NBA for lack of talent), Eric Haut, etc. Josh Childress (another NBA career gone fail), you know... the guys whom play in europe and asia etc. or never make it out of the D-League

4. For a non-supporter feature, this would take an incredible amount of time, effort, energy, bandwidth, server strength, etc... that would recquire more capital, so it may end up screwing supporters to pay more for a feature they don't get

5. Why should non-supporters be entitled to special features and such if they cannot/are not willing, to pay for supporter. 39.99 is less than $4 a month. That's less than a magazine subscription, that's less than Netflix, that's similar to an X-Box live account. Not very expensive. You could LITERALLY work 1 hour a month at burger king, and afford that.

Ok so you put 3 reasons why it would be a supporter only thing. I get it- id leave it up to BB if it would be supporter or not- and like I said- not all players would get to the draft..

Also, what's the point in making a feature, that's more in-depth than the actual "main game"?

just saying.

How is this more in depth? The scouting is a little more complex than the draft- but that's it.. All I'm saying is that I would rather see this than a 2nd team. Change things up a little bit..
But we are all entitled to our opinion so I will away my way as you sway yours.

I think that is very good idea :)

Thank you

I really have loved college basketball for my whole life- and watching young kids play.
