BuzzerBeater Forums

I can't say any of these issues bother me as much as you, but I get it. I'm wondering if you'd get more traction on your issues if you had made separate threads for each issue.

The fastest way of win in BB now it's buy a bunch of old players and train game shape (...) in my opinion that's one of the causes for killing bb now

I understand the game shape thing. It would be more fair if getting better game shape was only possible through minute management. Perhaps by simply removing game shape training as suggested in this thread (258172.1) would alleviate your concerns.

That being said, I think buying old players should be a legit strategy for trying to win quickly. NBA teams do it all the time, not always with success. Perhaps BuzzerBeater is out of balance though, I'm not certain.

I give you an example, in NBA the Spurs make some players rest and where punished for that. I think a possible solution would be lower ticket revenues for the next games, even the cup would gain new interest because the teams of lower divisions would have better chance vs teams of top divisions.

I definitely agree with you. Teams tank in real life. That being said, you generally don't see games with an 80 point margin of victory, which you do see in BB. Even in the finals, you'll see the superior team tank a game by 80 points, to get one last home game. Imagine that happened in the NBA Finals? People would lose it. I have no issue with their being a harsh penalty for it in terms of ticket revenue.

look inside still dominates

When I look at Look Inside, it still seems overpowered in terms of how many shots are taken where and the shot percentages in those locations. That being said, I don't think everyone has adjusted and trained for shot blocking changes, salary formula changes and game-day tactic guessing. I am concerned that if you continue to make changes that we'll swing too far in the other direction.

...creating "Utopia" despite the fact it totally ruins in-game economics.

That's temporary. It was a one time influx of demand on the lower end of the transfer market. Once those teams get stronger and a greater diversity emerges the market will level off.

GS training removal - A must, do it immediately.

Blank lineup removal - would increase the fun, but I would think it through.

It is temporary but its not a one time thing. Due to the promotion system the first seasons the number of promotions will be very high, and with each promotion there is a prize money associated to it, therefore injecting even more money in the game

About only 1 point of OP, I am just going to say this:

"Game shape" training is the cancer of this game. It must be removed as soon as possible.


Also, it should be a training combination of free throws and stamina, obviusly weaker than train them separately.

Just remove GS training? or shall we have another training instead of GS training?

If for fun, I would like to suggest agility or jumping, which may lead to players become taller.

If for real, I would like to suggest dunk training, which improve Inside Shooting and Blocking.

I guess I'd switch those two places.

LOL ...

Another alternative is called: Random, which means the training would be selected by BB randomly. Good luck.

In second i think there should be a way of punishing the teams who don't want to compete, the teams that every week use they second team in one game, that teams usually give up of the games against the stronger teams which makes even easier for them win matchs. One example, i'm one of the most strong teams in Portuguese League and there are teams that when play against me give up, don't try to win.

In real life there are no cup games.
And GS.

Well.... Yes and no....
Cup just isn't during the season.... And every 4 years except for qualifiers...
And no game shape but there is fatigue which one could argue is same as stamina... But different players recover their fatigue or from injuries at different rates.

The game shape to me goes back to we need players able to go on hot and cold streaks and it carry over games...
