The screenshots in the thread you linked about the analysis you did on B3 games are not available duo to company being shut down... Do you by any chance have these screenshots or the data of your analysis so I can check it?

I am getting into the posts now. Looks like alot of managers are involved here on the subject of the game engine evolution. I hope eventually the BBs will adjust the engine so its not so predictable. I'm currently building up OD for my 3 outside trainees and a couple will be 17 plus on OD. Then as I continue training my potential SF more inside skills but still I need a solid big man to compete which is fine. I like training guards more than training bigs.

So I want to build a team starting with building Big men....The train OD on 3 outside guard to 18+ on OD and see how that goes

Why don't you try evolving?

Ummm, I have been evolving and Hoping the game engine eventually balances out. As of now it seems I need to train the hell out of a couple (2 or 3) Big men for a few season and load up on a few outside players with OD 16 +

Don’t tell everyone what I’m doing 😬

So you are building a few Big men and buying high outside defense players? Or building outside defense players? My Utopia team I am building a couple Bigs for the next season and then either buying a couple outside players with really high defense or spend a few seasons and build up outside defense for my team.
I know training one/one helps with everything but I am considering concentrating building outside defense first and then a couple seasons of one/one's once i start train my outside players.
My main team is pretty loaded up on defense as well as DR/HA skills. Next season I'll probably spend training up Bigs ID/SB which seems to train pretty fast on big men.

You can see what I’ve got in our league. Been purchasing high OD guys while training 3 bigs that are all currently on the U21.

Yeah I saw that.....Good trainees!! I should invest in a solid Center after this season. I have 2 thats been trining here and there....one has good OD and would like to make him a solid SF/PF but he's going to be 23 next season (HOF) so I might be able to get a couple of inside training seasons from him. In this game in order to be a solid team you need a couple throwback bigs kinda like the 76'ers and Pacers are going to be doing this coming season (Horford/Embiid, Myles/Sabonis)

As my Lithuanian colleague I have been playing this game since season 4 I believe, so its arround 12-14 years. Of course, few times I almost lost interest in this, but still - now Im here and I it's enjoyment for me.
But, year after year this game is dissolving. Nothing revolutionary. Forums are dieing, users are shrinking.

One good thing about it - mobile app, which I don't think will change anything, esspecially with pace like that. All I can see - promises after promises.

I would like to write about GAME ENGINE, but I won't even start...

Summa summarum - I hope for the best, but espect for the worst.

the biggest issue this game has it's also one of the biggest appeals for its users

namely it's a slow paced game, you cannot have 2 trainings in opne week, or gain an advantage by logging in 10 times more than your opponent.

conversly it requires discipline, it's more about design and execution.


all these have nothing in ccommon w games for kids like candy crush, puzzles or etc. it is not specific tu the fastg paced socity in terms of young people.


but i do think the same things i just said earlier are appealing for 30-40 year olds or even more.

the biggest barrier to entry for new people is tat it takes considearbly long for new joiners to get to a level they can compete



i think in the end BB will lose the national component and all teams will be mixed. just like in Hattrick.
i know that i am describing utopia but you would have the main teams only.

and only then the game can be competitive for real. you would lose national teams. farms would be left ruderless but the game would survive.

the game is not boring but lacking options in terms of tools at your disposal are limiting.
when i played in season 5 and you dd not have JS higher than 11 the games seemed very random but also udnerstading the game quickly was a competitive advantage. unfortunately, just like in life people start hording instead of risk taking and that hinders competition.

hope someone gets to read this. my view as having played the game twice an sticking 30 seasons the second time around
