BuzzerBeater Forums

I read lots of complaints on global forums (and some are too much aggressive), but I personnally enjoy the way the game is going.

BBs are listening users, as they recently adapted fan boycott and promotion/demotion according to users' opinions. In the past, they implemented lots of suggestions that were coming from users. Sure they don't implement everything that is proposed (that sounds impossible) but I don't understand how we can say they don't listen people.

Sure there are some troubles with communication, I agree with that. But I globally like the game the way it is and the way it evoluates. Am I the only one?

Disagree about seeding cup at any time.

#1 thing I love about the cup is seeing what cinderella team from lower division can make it the furthest. As a new user or returning manager with a new team, it presents a challenge and/or different team goal for the season.

It's also a good way to spot new tidy managers from your country who have started to learn how to play the game and a team that you might have to watch out for as it climbs the ranks.

People might be moving away from Buzzerbeater not due to outdated game engine, but rather the fact it is web based manager. Teenagers prefers mobile flash games (and it is not sports manager) or consoles. People above 25+ are switching from online games to set up families and focus on work. It is not the problem of a game, it is general tendency. The same happened to most of online games, so you can't blame developers for that. On the other hand, how ridiculous it may sound, seeded cups will not change the trend.

They are just painting over the cracks. This is a basketball game and the heart of the game is the actual GAME ENGINE!! When was the last time they even added any new text to the GE.......I can tell you because at that time I was an LA and had to translate it, IT was a very long time ago. I actually think the BBs don't have the skills to overhaul the GE. Maybe the BBs who did have the skills are long gone. That is why all the changes to the game are just superficial. Salary changes, draftees with one are more skills to start. Even the stupid court logos wasn't an actual change in the GE.
I just had an epiphany. Maybe the captain has left the ship, and now the crew is trying to drive the ship, they don't know how the ship works but they can keep it afloat. And to keep moral up, they keep all the talk positive(sound familiar GMs).

I agree. They need to merge the micros, but I don't think they no how.

*BB Marin shaking his magic 8 ball*
Marin....How do I merge the micros?
Magic 8ball....Signs point to YES!!
Marin.....Sweet!!! Wait....*shakes again* How?
Magic 8ball......ask again later
Marin.....Ok, I will give rookies 2 more skill points and keep the noobs happy

BBs are listening users, as they recently adapted fan boycott

Who asked for a fan boycott in the first place?

A Seeded cup won't change it....but a new GE, a new app, more games a week...those might save the game.

BBs are listening users, as they recently adapted fan boycott and promotion/demotion according to users' opinions.

Fan boycott was I believe suggested to target tanking. The measure brought in removed the suggestion for basing it on points difference and instead is targeting teams who lose, not teams who intentionally lose. So they listened but did not understand and created something that is the very opposite of an improvement.

I don't recall ever seeing a suggestion for changes to promotion that was well received by users. I've made clear why this was a bad idea in the first place, and at least they did reduce it to only one extra team to promote. Which again, was a user suggestion, in this thread I think.

But I globally like the game the way it is and the way it evoluates. Am I the only one?

I'm glad you like the game. I've said many times, I do too. I've been here a long time, and don't plan to go anywhere yet. I don't think it indicates I don't like a game that I'm against things that do not improve the game, or in the case of the promotion change, is something that would make things much worse.
