Thanks for noting this. I am now watching my game by finding it through the division page.

But in the top right corner there is no "view live" link. So I wouldn't have noticed it otherwise. It allready shows a countdown to my next game.

Crunchy! If you eat fast enough

I'm REALLY mad. Today all the stupid things of BB happened to me. All of them.

First, I couldn't watch the game. Second: no one gave a single damn. Seriously, it's not that complicated to put on the homepage "there's a bug, we're looking into this". I (and all the community) repeated that "communication" thing over and over, apparently no BB cares. And no, I don't know if it was fixed at 19.15, I didn't even try to watch the final part of the game.

Now, of course, I can't even watch the boxscore... pretty standard.

This game was so important because winning I could take 1st place or keep my 2nd... I lost by 2 and now I'm 3rd and that's ok... then I watched the replay... I was down by 2 and the final shot was a stupid three... I got 2 injuries (PG and SG) and they were substituted by... the PF and the C.

SERIOUSLY?!?

I don't even know what to say.

sorry, i don´t understand you. There can always be problems. Today (on a saturday!) there has been a major problem which some users posted. The problem was solved in a few hours time (on a weekend) and the boxscore is there to watch almost immediately after the game. i know there are a lot of things to complain regarding this game at the moment, but in my opinion the bb staff has done a tremendous job today.

Easy solution, chose a sub instead of letting the game deciding for you. You played with 8 players, so I assume they havent no subs and were en route for a 48 minutes games.

Since I started this game, I came to the conclusion that a player without sub was often replaced by a player playing opposing position. Guard for Center and the opposite. Maybe a way of BB to force us to chose a sub or assume the risk.

You are kinda right. I played with 8 players, so it's my fault because I knew it was risky. There were 2 players injuried, and that's bad luck (and my doctor who is low-level). I'm ok with all that.

The thing I don't understand is WHY THE HELL the system has been designed to "understand" which position should play a player, but it doesn't use this "understanding" to make subs. I mean if the system says that player A is a PG, maybe you don't agree and you make him play as a SG, ok. But you don't make him play as a C or PF, for sure! So why the system says "hey, this is a C" and then it makes him play as a PG...? That's silly.

And btw, my settings were:

Position - Starter - Backup - Reserve
PG: A - A - A
SG: B - B - C
SF: D - C - E
PF: F - F - E
C: G - G - H


Of course when A got injured he had no backup/reserve set, so the system just used players E/H... stupid system, but one could argue that was my fault. As SG, B got injured and C checked in for a while... then even in SG position players E/H got in... -_-
E never went in SF position (just a minute in the entire game) even if he could, somehow.

See what I mean? Moreover C was a SF backup but the system says it's a SG... so why didn't he go in SG all the game, or even in PG?

I think all of this is now hard to code... but the system should have been designed in a smarter way before, for sure.

I agree that the substitution system has left a lot to be desired, but every time you try to play some player 48 minutes, you run the risk of this happening. I guess we'll try and code a smarter system at one point in the future, but for now it's just not possible (no resources).

Btw, C was marked as SG probably because he played more minutes in SG than SF.

I'm fine with that. The problem is that even if he's marked as a SG he's staying in SF position allowing my big men to go on the PG/SG positions :s
