BuzzerBeater Forums

Fair point, but I was merely trying to point out that another injury system might exist, with something more than just "shit happens". Of course that's my opinion, and I certainly don't expect everyone to share it (what would be the point of having an opinion otherwise).

I don't share this opnion, but i understand what you mean, and i respect your opnion.

I didn't mean to completely remove injuries, but a more controlled and less random event would have pleased me. My view on management games is that it always needs less random and more complexity. This combination has made me quit other sport management games, most notably hattrick. Unfortunately, when I want random now, I log into Hearthstone, this wasn't always like that though

In the past, i had been a fanatic hattrick manager too. But as I learned more and more how the game worked, I also started to dislike this game more and more. Until i realised hattrick is a very much flawed football simulation. And instead of improving it, they fucked it up more and more over the years. Compared to Buzzerbeater (given the different sport), Hattrick is on a much lower level as a sports manager game.
Actually i always was much more of a football fan than a basketball fan, but i recognized the difference in quality of Buzzerbeater vs. Hattrick as a sports manager game. And the more i'm learning about Buzzerbeater and how everything works and every detail of the game, the more i'm liking it. And i'm not the only one. Many older people keep playing Buzzerbeater because of the detail that is given attention to with regard to every aspect of the management job of a sports club. Me, i'm already 43 years old (although i feel 18 years old, lol) but i still like the game in the same way as i started it many many years ago. In this game, it actually pays off when you go about things in a smarter way than most of the other managers, and take well thought out financial and sportive decisions, as well as making the right tactical choices, and you can build a team towards a certain tactic.

But I respect your point of view, I just don't share it. And maybe I wrote it more agressively than I wanted to, sorry for that.

No problem mate. As long as we keep respecting eachothers opinion, and listen to eachother in a mature way, there is nothing wrong in having a good discussion

As for injuries, so far I've been relatively spared, but I can imagine how frustrating it must be when a season gets crushed by an untimely injury, whether one is going for a promotion, a trophy or merely fighting for survival in the play-downs. (I really could see myself yelling at my computer, not that it would change anything) This is easily the work of one season, if not more, that can be reduced to ashes because of random, that's a bit harsh.

I've already had my share of injuries with major consequences, but that's just part of the game as far as i'm concerned. Of course i didn't like it when it happened, but hey life isn't always fair either...

+ 1, I couldn't have told it any better. I played basketball in my youth but I had always dreamed of football, which my parents never agreed to, and this has sticked today, I'm an avid football fan. So I went into hattrick as soon as a friend told me of it. I played many seasons, went as high as D.4 back then when you started in D. 9 (!). But just like you, the more I knew about it, the less I liked it.

Buzzerbeater is an breather in comparison, I hope it sticks longer but I fear for the future when I see the number of active manager dwindling ...

This game isn't a sprint, it's a marathon (or 5 or 6) and maybe this isn't appealing to younger players anymore. Or maybe they don't own a computer and are playing on their cellphone. That's really too bad because this one jas a depth I had rarely seen !

Hattrick... Old times... I had a team in D.II at the end. But indeed, too much random overthere.

It's far better in Buzzerbeater.

D.2 is quite an achievement indeed. But yes, there was too much random involved.

And training was so boring compared to this game.

Mine was build without daytrading. I remember your team the season you've won the title in D.II, I was in the same league and finished 2nd. ;-)

My memory wasn't right, I was 5th (my last active season in hattrick). 2nd was some seasons before.
