Actually I´d love a FIREWORK once the training update is there.

About players - ever tried an alarm clock or maybe even your mobile phone? I know, this is so unconvenient, but it really works. Just like it works with putting food into the oven ... though I admit, most ovens have some kind of an alarm clock function ...

Well let's see what a person do...
1) He will use it w/o speakers.
2) He wil use speakers
or...
3) He will not use the feature!!! [No harm for him comparing to current status...

It is not about who is to blame. It is about making things more user freindly!!!
User friendly does not mean that the game is being easier, as the goal in this game is not loosing time waiting for an auction event to happen.

Why not organizing the line-up in 10 different pages? Why not making it harder? [This is your line of thought]

I wrote that it is INSTEAD of using alarm clock or cell-phone.
It is just for making things more friendly for the user.

Defining a game or any product is also about user-friendly.
And it isn't a small part of a product... It is very important in that...

Yeah yeah, just kidding to some degree

Still I´d like to see some responsibility still on the coaches / players shoulders, so you shouldnt start mickey-mousing everything. Responsibility is key, and even if you lost an auction because your thought went off with another topic for just that 10 seconds too long you might win the next one because of the same thing happning to someone else...

There is no reason to just stare at the LCD for an hour and taking a single action once every few minutes.

Why not making it more user-friendly?

The more automated and arcade a game gets, the less challenging it is. The less challenging it is, the less fun it will be. I really like game sounds when something happens. We might agree on this alarm thingy as a Supporter Feature, to encourage players to buy the package though.

Heck stop with the suggestions that make this game so darn easy that all you need to do is click a button and everything is automated!

This is a basketball management game. Managers need to take responsibility over their actions! If they cbfed/forgot to bid then that is the managers fault for not managing properly.

Such simple things can help you to manage like an alarm clock or heck even set a reminder that pops up on your screen in windows 10 min before. There is no need for BBs to waste their valuable resources to develop something that adds no significant benefits to users which can not already be managed by other means

Why make one suggestion when you can make 5000? And why stop at a little buzzer? You should get an electric shock every time your bid is overtaken.

You just keep mixing between User-Friendly and between making a game easy and not challenging.

User-friendly is to make things easier to use but w/o affecting the game.
It is not that the user main task is to be focused at auctions.
There are also outer options for signaling when needs to take a look - alarm-clock for example.
Hence, this suggestion does not make it less challenging and will only make the game friendlier to the user.

If one would follow you're way of thinking he would also block the skills of your own team and you will need to analyze it from the statistics or will hide current economic status and you will need to guess how much things cost.
It will make it more challenging, but it will not make it more relevant to BB managing and will just make it less user-friendly and mainly just ridiculous.

Just in case you've forgot - this game is about BB managing.
