I agree with you. Scouting should be cheaper and you should get clearer views of draftees' skill sets. And, yes, training should be faster.

However, this past season, our draft was loaded. I didn't want to give it away last season as I was hoping to get 2 good trainees. But I got 3 - MVP, SS and a PAS. You certainly could have gotten 1 of those had you scouted. Of course, when I was doing well, I wouldn't scout either as I always assumed it wasn't worth it unless you got top 3. I think this draft was an anomaly with how many good players there were (caveat - I didn't scout any skill sets, only opened up potential).

I think a quick and easy help would be to give each team 15-30 scouting points for free each season that have to be used the season of. This would give the top teams a chance to at least participate and also would help out the teams that join the week of the draft and who have no time to caitalize on a last place finish.

Absolutely. What a great starting build.


This is what frustrates me about BB!! :-( Everyone of us should be comparing notes on how great our draft picks are...at least the first round if not first 1.5-2 rounds. I didn't buy any scouting points, and had no expectations, but my first round pick was a $966 player with like 7 ratings that were atrocious or pitiful. There is no excuse for BB not having enough solid players in the draft that every team should have at least 1 keepable player They are totally missing the boat :-(

People are writing into the BB Facebook page pissed off about how horrible their drafts were...this draft system really sucks the fun out of the game for some...I think it's the #1 reason BB not only doesn't grow, but is losing people.



The top rookies come in to the NBA and can compete somewhat. Now I am not being a proponent of rookies being good enough for the NBBA, but for some their skill level should at least be that of a rotation piece in D3. And some rookies may come in at their potentials peak, that's ok because it ensures their are plenty of players available at the lower levels. This however would make training and investing in the draft far more palatable for many, if they didn't have to wait four seasons just for a player to be usable. That solves the problem right there.

Buzzerbeater takes more of the soccer/Baseball approach when it comes to prospects. I wouldn't mind for better rounded players w/ more 7-8 skills, but overall, I'm fine with the current situation. However, it would be nice to have a second team specifically geared for developing prospects. That way you could compete and train simultaneously.

Essentially, yes. However, I was thinking more in terms of a youth team similar to what's used in soccer (w/ a U21 max age limit).

I like it

And have a nice U-21 youth league as well, independent of your senior team, so your seniors may be in d1 but your youth team is in d2 or d3

It would certainly improve the talent pool and U21 national teams, but the only flaw is that training doesnt really work with more than 3 players =)

***I'm moving this post to the season 35 thread***


so your seniors may be in d1 but your youth team is in d2 or d3

Here's what I had in mind:

Each league would have it's own youth league (I.E. NBBA, NBBA youth league). That way your youth team would face other youth teams of managers in your senior league.

the only flaw is that training doesnt really work with more than 3 players

Honestly, that doesn't concern me, it would get out of control if you could train more than three players (when one position training of course). If you trained three starters for your team, there aren't many other positions that need to be filled and each team should have more than enough money to fill those positions anyways.

There would also have to be some sort of training policy to avoid managers being able to train senior team players along with youth team players. The training limit should be three players max for both senior and/or youth teams.

Edit: I'm moving this conversation to the s35 thread so we can avoid using last seasons thread.
