Do you always judge things by their outer appearance? The skin is workable, not as nice as this skin but it's ok.

There's a very big point in setting up a lineup for every quarter. For instance this way you can manage playing time (and therfore fatigue) of your players way better. Secondly you may let players play together who fit well together. For example I have a star who can hardly be stopped, put him in one lineup with all my best passers and that's it. The one or 2 quarters he doesn't play I let my other scorers play for a balanced offence.

and yeah it's complex, and I love it. It also has something that I miss here, individual tactics, I cann tell my players to pass/shoot more, I can say how often a player should get the ball how he should play on offense/defence...
I can set up a defencive focus to stop the opposing top-player and so on.

But never the less, BB is very nice too, actually maybe the 2nd best Basketballmanager in my mind though some features are missing (for me, like the offfensive focus, I know you cann do all this by your tactics (which are great by the way and something I miss with Charazay, but you can likely build your own tactics by off/deffocus) but you can't say "focus more on my SG than on my PG in offense" or furthermore you can't clearly assign playing time, just approximately.

Cheers!

I don't know about that...rumor is that Colangelo is the only reason Bargnani got so much playing time last year. ;)

You sure about that? His minutes went up and his numbers went down. Isn't that choking? The only guy that I thought actually looked like he was stepping it up was Morris Peterson.

To be fair though there was not a lot of playoff experience on that team to speak of, so I would guess they will be a bit more ready for it next time. They definitely improved as the series went.

Please do not turn this into another anti-Bosh thread, since the entire world but you knows that he is the best player on that team and one of the best bigs in the league.
lol :)

so if I'm supposed only to be the manager why can I choose tactics and set a lineup ;) In my opinion I'm everything of the team (ok nearly).

And I did say that buzzer may be the 2nd best online Bballmanager I know, and I think I nearly know all of them (which are in my language, I'm playing 5 bballonlinemanagers, the one forgotten here is www.bazzer.org )

and I know there is a lot of work in this one, at least the outter appearance is great. And you're right, other games this complex who went public six months ago are way worse and I'm looking forward to the future of this game as the developpers seem to know a lot about gameconomy etc.

seriously, this was no offense against buzzer just an offense against those who criticise Charazay a bit too much :)

;D I think you could discuss about the pros and cons of managergames all time (like it is with hiding estimated value with charazay)

Me I like managergames were something happes, where the game gets better every year. I don't like the trainingsystem of BB because in my mind every player receives training regardless of how much he plays, but pushing players is an interesting aspect of the game :)

Charazay was my first managergame, now I'm playing 7 (yeah if you don't need to learn you have enough time + some of them don't need much time) :)

I hope both games get better over time and that one time I'll play in the best german league in both games :D
