When it was only Season Four
I had a dream of Chunky gore
I tripped the Buzzbeater store
And I signed up for this b-ball war

Something I cannot ignore
Like all the folks on every shore
From Canada to Singapore
My BB love grows more and more

All that matters is the score
Of last night’s match and furthermore
Life is better than before
My league received a salary floor

Don't ask what sort of Chunks they are, you probably don't want to know. Blowing Chunks since Season 4!

Such as ?
I'm for it, more stats can be funny at times. Not everyone is interested in it though.
We can start with basic advanced stats that exist in the real world. Some people are stat geeks and look forward to those kind of things. Of course, you could have something even more valuable like the stats coming from Moutlinho's tool or those you could find on the US offsite where you had data on success % in guarding/making various kind of shots etc.


How do you define something that could be interesting and something that isn't ? Especially for people that never subscribed to the forums. The "recent" add of the red number for forums was already a small step in the right direction. If we can do better somehow, let's try.
If your NT manager post a message on a league's forum, I guarantee that 12+ managers will not even notice a message has been posted in their league forum.

I realised that someone posted something on my PL forum a season later than they posted...

That's the point of being Supporters. That would cheapen one of the main attraction of it.
Fine, I'm saying that one game per week only for supporters isn't much. Surely you can get creative with that, providing it won't kill the servers with an overload.

Training has to be a bit challenging.

BB would be a lot more challenging if training were logical and everybody could do it and compete. But competition from thousands of managers is exactly what the few at the top don't want, though, so they like training exactly as it is.

You also, could make up interesting challenges with friends/strangers/stranger-friends.

For example, if you want. I challenge you next season, to whom can train a 6th man prospect to average 30 ppg for a season.


that is a challenge at who play patient against the worst opponent not really interesting


I challenge you to do it in only a princeton offense?

Eh eh? let's make it more interesting.

I believe that everyone at the top would be more then glad if they suddenly could train while being competitive. I can't see how it would be any other way.

Certainly not everyone. Of course some would look at it that way. Some would even look at it for the overall benefit it would bring to the game. But it is undeniable human nature that some would prefer to continue to be big fish in a small pond, and prefer that the pond stay small.

Hi Karl Franks, that class conflict of yours is going well ?

An ordinary user would get a "vacation" from the forums for a post like that, eh?
