I agree. Also, regardless of what people believe in terms of the amount of time or minutes for a player to pop in experience...there seem to be quite a variation on the amount of minutes in between pops, regardless of age. That being the case, with such a varying degree in the amount of minutes in between pops, whether it be 950 for some people, 1600 for others, or the crazy extreme I experienced with my player popping twice inside of 2 or 3 weeks----there has to be something that could account for the range in minutes it takes for a pop....and game situations, clutch shots, higher profile games etc would be a realistic variable to consider.

i believe you.

i had a player who know who is in my hall of fame who popped twice in exp while i had him .

and considering this is my third season and he only played 1.5 to 2 seasons with him i know for a fact its not just based on mins like so many people think.

i cant use the search engine properly on these forums for some reason though so i cant find the post in which im talking about where a bb said that it was happened in there time on the court not how many mins they played

where a bb said that it was happened in there time on the court not how many mins they played

I'll look for that! That would be interesting to see and to see if they offer any more information on this topic.

Is it this one?

experience means more than just minutes logged.. it means minutes logged in key situations, having the ability to make key decisions.. etc.. and everyone doesn't have to start out on an even playing field.

If it is, this is the 4th time I've reposted it in this forum in the past 2 weeks lol...

lol that may be it.

but i was sure it was on the ask bb day and that it went into a bit more detail.

though

experience means more than just minutes logged.. it means minutes logged in key situations, having the ability to make key decisions

really says it all right there doesnt it.

What is the highest level of experience you ever saw? One of my players is at level 12 and he did the level up recently, unfortunately, I didn't track his advancement from 11 to 12.

Level 14 (Wondrous) is the highest I've seen.

Hello,

I can't find another thread bout exp, so am gonna ask here.. What's the point of players exp, i mean what advantage he gets? I understand irl he would be better in the end of the match, but is it in a same way in BB?


Cheers

- he plays better at the end of the game
- it impact shot selection

I beleive that the main impact of it

I have a theory based on my being involved in writing a computer game many years ago. This is how it starts a few guys are sitting around and creating the game. They have to sart somewhere and I'll bet the game engine is one of the areas they did first. Imagine this sort of conversation.

Bob: So how will experience work?
Charlie: You get a boost in experience every 1500 minutes of playing.
Bob: But private leagues shouldn't count.
Charlie: Ok, private leagues wont count.
Bob: And scrimmages don't make you a great player, no-one takes someone seriously because they have scrimmaged.
Charlie: Ok, half experience for scrimmages.
Bob: What about the Cup? It is a lot more important than league games.
Charlie: Grrr. Ok, Ill, make the cup count double. Can we move on now?
Bob: What about playoffs? That is when people really learn.
Charlie: Stop! Ok! Playoffs can count triple. That is every type of game covered, can we...
Bab: But the last minutes of a game are the big thing. That is the pressure! That is when legends are made. Taking a shot in the last minute of a game when the game is on the line is worth 500 minutes of scrimmaging...
Charlie: Shut up! Ok, I'll add 100 mins for every shot in the last minute and 500 for the game winner! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh!

Anyway this is often how our programming sessions went with the coders being constantly annoyed by the creative people.

So all I am sayingis there could well be a hybrid system something like:

experience = league mins + .5 scrim mins + 2 x cup mins + 3 x playoff mins + 500 per buzzerbeater +...

Anyway I have read studies here somewhere where people claimed to have fairly tight recordings of minutes and experience pops and have come up with serious experience bands. I am utterly amazed by the 2 pops in 3 weeks claim, but I just thought I would suggest a way in which it would be possible.
