Here here.

I will say that the can't buy a bucket after a guy hits three shots in a row is annoying. But last night all double double references were correct (There were two). so that's an improvement.

Let's see....I paid for supporter so I can watch an extra game a week. Not just look at the boxscore the next day. Seeing who is passing to who and who defends who and how this/that player plays in this /that offense and defense is huge. Saying all the bugs are low on the list is a joke. If it makes people not want to watch their games, it will make them not spend their money on something so vital as the GE or match veiwer being junk. Why would I pay $39 on a logo and banner and bookmarking players. Thats like worth $2.50. It seems like my money is going into the BB beer fund instead of actual work on improving the game. There hasn't been an improvement in 5 season and the declining user total should worry someone at BB.

ou seem to have crossed issues here though. The GE isn't broken (or at least, not in the specific instances you've put forward from the information I've looked at.) The Game Viewer has some issues that are completely based on presentation and have no effect on the overall game flow. Player A earning a Double Double 10 times and defending himself 6 trillion times in a game according to the GV makes zero difference in the long run when in the end those things never really happened in the GE and thus have no effect on the game. They're simply text display issues

It is not simply a display bug. It severely affects the gameplay experience because this viewable game engine is a significant part of the game and adds a lot of value to this game. I would even go as far as saying without the GE, there would be no BB. What i am getting at is the way the new "features" if you can call it that is implemented. Sure the commentary is nice to have but it is constantly giving wrong information. Its far better to have no commentary then it is to have ones that give the wrong information so in this case, less is actually more.

Actually, QA's job isn't (usually) to make sure that bugs aren't rolled out into the system. QA is there to point out every single little issue with the software. The producer on the project then makes the call as to whether it should be fixed or not

Maybe I come from an different environment as I develop and implement business systems but the ultimate goal is always to reduce the amount of bugs in the application. There will always be bugs even after the app is rolled out, but if it is a known issue and not fixed then you are asking for trouble especially in an business environment as someone will bound to find it eventually and make a big deal out of it. I am talking about business systems here where clients will complain on just about anything and even things that are beyond your control. So in a way BBs are happy to accept our money but yet do not put a plan in place to even fix bugs when they are well known and already been reported in the testing phase.

Again just to reiterate we both agreed and pointed out that there are always going to be bugs but from a business perspective, if you know of the bug and you don't fix it and then let it roll into a live environment, then that is serious failure on the developer's end. Heck lucky they don't have to pay any penalty rates for this sort of stuff up

I would even go as far as saying without the GE, there would be no BB.

I think you mean Match Viewer.

Well, certainly without the GE this game would be pointless/impossible. Without the Match Viewer, BB would be far less entertaining and more difficult to understand.

Edit. Oh, and I guess we are closed now for off topic.
