BuzzerBeater Forums

I completely agree that teams should have to field a team of at least three guys and that in the case of a three man team 2 lucky fans should be used and in the case of 0 players suited up, 5 lucky fans.

for me the update seems as bbs just shoted 2 rabbits in one shot. Since they made nearly as twice as hard to tank at higher level and only minor changes at league 3. This makes weaker teams in lower leagues able to earn cash nearly as fast as league 1 tankers does. So they can compete in shorter time.

What you said may be compared to tankers, but not compared to the others that does not need to tank, as their semi-constant income (Arena) is just that. Semi-constant (AKA - no more building can be performed).

But the main thing you said is that they will get more in a lower division.
That by definition will lead to something worst - playoff tanking!
Teams will prrefer not getting to higher division, and if can they will even shoot to their own rim.
They will be invinsible until the finals and then do a walkover...

This raises a Q... What happens in case that both teams "take" the walkover option?

home team wins:D

can someone explain to me in details what is tanking? how could someone gain money from losing?

The tanking idea is to have a "light army" meaning players that cost as lttle as possible, and the net profit comes from the low expenses rather than the hige income.

It is genreally used by teams that don't see hope in competiing with current team's value against a division which is much richer (mainly due to longer time in the game).
Hence, they are actually throwing games that theu will probably lose anyhow, so the low income is inevidable no matter how...

Making it impossible to grow in that division will lead into two things:
1) Tanking in the playoff of the lower division in order not to get to this higher division where they will only lose...
2) Making the journey longer. To long. which I believe will lead to a faster dissertion of the game.

I hope it will be understood and fixed quick...

Haha! You, my friend, are an awesome example of why tanking is bad. The innocence displayed... It's great.

Tank you- I mean.. Thank you!

+1 ball for you, too

I do not agree with removal of Tv contracts.. Take me as an example Im in an Iv league and I just started this game like 1 or 2 weeks ago and I don't tank but Im pretty sure at the end of season 21 Im gonna get relegated by being in 8th place or getting blown out in in a relegation series and so I don't think It would be fair.. as me being a new user to get my TV Contract taken away just because BB started me in a league that I wasn't ready for is a pile of B.S . And also poeple always complain about BB not having 60,000 managers on here it's not because this games not interesting because ... Its because things like this happen they come to the forums and people are trying to stop tanking and this is what they'll say to themselves" I ight as ell quit Buzzerbeater before it shuts down no use of eve trying to play" well here's something for you THERE WILL NEVER EVER BE A DAY AS LONG AS TIME EXIST THAT PEOPLE WILL NOT TANK NO MATTER WHAT ANYONE DOES THERE WILL ALWAYS BE PEOPLE WHO TANK. The only way you can really stop people from tanking is to find tankers and report them... only way man.. and as soon as people start getting there Tv Contract taken away and they stop profiting as much they will quit. And then there will only be 40,000 managers then 30,000 then 20,000 then soon after BB will shut Down Y doesn't BB show ads on Tv maybe that could get some more user's??? But I do agree TANKING IS EXTREMLY STUPID AND RUINS THE GAME EXPERIENCE.. IF SOMEONE TANkS THEY MIGHT AS WELL QUIT. Being in a league with all tankers is like being in a league full of Bots that's not fun at all. Another thing if BB takes my Tv contract away because they think im tanking next year and it's really because they put me in a league to high for me then that's 1 user they just lost and other's WILL follow me as soon as they get their tv contract removed. This is the last thing.. BB will never be perfect you can try and try all you want people are always gonna find a way to cheat on here. This game is just like death no matter what you do you'll die 1 of these days and no matter what you'll do here will always be an inperfect BB. So yeah Good Luck trying to fix something that well...can't be fixed :)

According to all the suggestions I've seen made on this, you wouldn't have a problem. The suggestions about taking away TV revenue are tied directly to teams who give up walkovers by not putting at least three players in the starting lineup. If you don't play the game, you shouldn't be paid for it. If you lose because you're put in a crappy situation, that's entirely different.

OO Ok then... Thats an idea..

Lol, all that emotional venting! Glad that got sorted out quickly...



As Anchorman would say.. That escalated quickly!
