BuzzerBeater Forums

Nice write up ... Just an old Buzzerbeater franchise passing through. What you see now is what you're going to get for the rest of the season. Easy win for everyone.

Buzzer manager says I have the fifth most expensive bench though :-)

Yes, looking at the transfer market but I'll be honest I wasn't expecting to win the finals so we'll see what I can find.

And not as much of a war chest as I might like since if you don't pay attention staff salaries and bad ticket prices hamper your ability to hoard.

Your posts are wonderful and I am grateful for them. Honestly though, I miss the game summaries/recaps. That was the best part - ppl love to read about themselves.

Thanks! Yes, those are a ton of fun. I enjoyed doing them, but they take more time than I have to give at the moment.

I still think it would be a great thing for the developers to consider integrating into the game. Think of how much better that would be at retaining new managers—framing them as the scrappy upstart, helping them understand the ins & outs of the game…there is massive potential there. After all, who doesn’t love getting attached to their players, griping about the refs, and cracking a few jokes at the expense of teams who have yet to win a game this season *cough* *cough*?!

All that to say: I’m glad it was a successful test case and I hope to do more in the future!
