Based on two weeks of 2-position training, it looks to me like training is overall more effective this season. We've been asking 80% of what...and I think the "what" is higher than it was before. Which makes sense, or else the off-position, less-effective training would be a total waste of time.

You think regular training has become faster based on 2 weeks of training? Don't you think that's a rather small sample size?

Yes and yes. I got 7 pops in 2 weeks for 5 players training. Maybe they were all on the verge of popping anyway. But it's much better than anything last season. For what it's worth.

You mis understood. A man made the game of chess and he was a player, the 1st player at that.? He was a player that had knowledge of this or that in chess to start. Not all of it, but his tactic''s were a start of that.? Player's expanded many ways upon his tactics . In BB that is not the case. BB need to start being more transparent like the starting master ( creator), like many chess masters in chess . Creator and player is no different.

Share some of the wealth of knowledge.. What is good the creation if its never shares the beauty of it in hidden things in certain parts.

The thing that get me the most is ,once some share some knowledge. Its how many titles you have, how many b3 titles you have.? Knowledge is not based out right success, but by trial and error. The BB creator know how to play the game and all tactic correctly.. With the proper players for them.

I don't know if they were here made to start, but I assume not. where are they today?? why none know how to play certain defense/offense's correctly? A tutor can teach only so much, its up to the student to expand on that teaching to create and evolve.. Its not the tutor job to say his student is false in assertion. How will things taught every evolve for the game?? Like you said its build on the player knowledge?

Nothing wrong with telling thing. It open more style of play in BB case more tactics to play. the market with more better player diversity. The gave evolve. If something is made by the creator hand it mostly end by the creator as well.. the reason why chess has not fallen off is because they started to tell certain things.

OK, good to know. Maybe I was just very unlucky last season. That, plus I was probably training slightly older players vs. the 18-21 yr-olds I'm training now. Lots of variables.

I said for starting teams 1st season. Tell them how to build arena. tell them how to train players. 1st season correctly.

This is the same as mother and father telling a son/daughter how to pay bills/ can give them a car and small apartment once they find a job. It doesn't devalue their future learning or gaining process. The parent has motivated them showed them care to start.

It much better than brash way of your 18yrs old now hit the door. Your on your own. Go to library and find out. Go find a job don't beg me. Then when see their kid holding sign saying "help me god bless". They don't want any of the blame the child is lazyor going the wrong way in life, they don't any of the blame. put them down with do I have to tell you everything.? learning from the streets is not always correct.

Motivation come proper showing things to someone at least once. BB can do more. explain better. Yes there is a forums, but at same time if they don't understand , then they don't understand. Some has to explain it correctly?? why not BB

How to play the game stuff has to come from the community not the BBs. I figured out everything about how to play bb after reading the game manual by 1) following the USA offsite and BB forums and 2) google search site:buzzerbeater.com 3) asking questions if i couldn't find the answer.

Not that hard. This is a great community willing to share their thoughts and opinions.

And I respect that approach 100%.. no issue there. At the time same if some things are unknown to this day. 7-8 years . 27-28 seasons strong's . Then whats wrong with BB stepping up and telling it??

Some games for this game will never be find out on BB. Same issue from my example with chess. The starting chess master and creators came out and told and expanded the game. The creator made starting manual as well same as BB, it didn't tell all the ways of play starting , only starting base., Then a chess master came out and told things with permission of the creator on differ style of play. Which none knew how do properly but had a clue of. In small those ways were not popular. Kind of like running 2-3 zone and Princeton on BB its not popular just good way to lose. he told how to make these unpopular chess ways strong. A lot BB manager including myself have no idea how merge these together for anything but a lost game, in my opinion.


Back to my points. It expanded the game of chess. My point in small is why not expand BB in the same fashion. training and all that for certain tactics is a mystery. I'm saying not tell it all like a interview with Barbra Walters, No... Im saying be more clear , stop all scribble scrabble., be more up front , a manual don't mean anything. Until they show some success with certain tactics, it still a very great issue. Yes someone had to come out and tell it. It should not take 10-100 yrs and drastic Ge changes to do so. All of that could have been very avoided with just telling things.

Its does not hurt the game it expands the market. Im not being rude. I saw won B3 atleast 3 times . where is his guide to play this or that that unpopular. Where is his insight on this matter.?
