BuzzerBeater Forums

I've no idea cause I left the blank lineup only 2/3 times but I think nothing should change excluding that finally you've to play :)

I think you're right.
Those too lazy to set a lineup will adapt.
Those who thought leaving a lineup blank was the best way to win will adapt.
Those who just whined about it for whining sake will find something else to whine about.
Those who said blank lineups made people leave the game will say that eliminating blank lineups will make people leave. To them, the sky is still falling.

Sometimes, the more things change the more things stay the same.

You're accusing people of whining about Buzzerbeater?

I'm assuming you know the definition of irony?

You hijacked my thread :)

Back on topic, I was asking about team building opinions. Basically, let's say you have 700k budget to build a team.

Strategy so far: buy 7 100k players and play bl/lcd.

So, what now? 5 starters with 100k, 5 bench guys with 40k salary? Or something else?

perhaps this should be the BB theme for the season https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mvTi7aCnlhA


On opening night I dressed the who squad but only had 7 in the rotation and scuttled the lineups so that my pg sg and sf all played straight thru but my big men were properly rotated, went LCD, to my surprise somewhat the coach emptied the bench with about 4min to play in a rout and literally everyone got into the game, even the ultra scrubs were inserted in the dying seconds.

tonight going to dress a full squad, placing starting and backup for every position except for SG as I am a little undecided on who i want carrying the mail, very interested to see how this plays out.

There no true advantage in blank line ups. Only thing it does for you is lose the game much easier and keep some players fresh. I think a lot are just grabbing for straws for the sake jealousy. Same as alot asking to add all these training taxes and etc.

Its just jealousy, they get the Gm and mods all riled up and they go running with their musket rifles , to kill the smallest bit of joy in the field on BB and call it 50 ton elephant kill. It is not and never will be . They are going to after gs training next , then after stamina training. Then after 1 position training.

But they wont go after LI and tactic fairness, they will never try to change training methods , to gets it at 40 mins a game instead of 48 for players . They will never do it. They will never make so trainers are 1 price that doesn't increase to make training more realistic and affordable. All a lot want to do is strip away the core and take away people joy on BB and leave confusion in rule and regulations and call it fairness.. Because they cant cope with others.

I gureentee those jealous manager clowns on BB going try sway they Gm and mods to go after reserve money and put a tax on it. Its just pure jealousy. Empty lineup don't do a damn thing for teams beyond lose game and keep some what fresh. I have never used it, why do i want to lose a game?

All these changes are minor for Bb , it bigger fish to fry on BB.. I have said them a million times , but sad thing is , they dont from me in personal request to start,they come people who have left.. BB will never listen to it only consider, Just like the APP request, what is the hell to consider when your game is on the line.? Thats a pro bono in my book!!

It's a good thing you edited this post. It makes so much more sense now. Good points.

Ok, thanks for the response, exactly what I was looking for.

I'm not convinced though, I'm still hoping we see some radical changes, which would emphasize backups more. For the sake of "realism", blank lineup substitution patterns and minutes distribution were pretty realistic.

Having players more locked into certain roles will probably feel more artificial, but personally, I would prefer it.

Anyway, I'm looking forward to see how B3 develops this season. I guess you're right, and the current trend will continue, but maybe not..
