BuzzerBeater Forums

I play this game for 7 months and i love it as it is...but i believe that changes should be come...i dont know if the suggest is good enough cause i dont have much experience.I believe that you are right about managing ability for game shape and training and many new managers dont know how to do this.I already have my excel and i scheduled all my training plans and all my scouting calculations for my opponents.Thanks a lot!

well, let me put it this way.

in Australia, during the games, there are about 10 users who come into chat and are online and watch the games, and probably another 30 that arent in chat. so thats 40 users.

and those 40 are never the same. it varies a lot, but lets just say its the same 40 users.
Now - the aussie community has around 427 active teams. so thats only 10% that come online during the games.
so if you introduce live substituion, only about 10% of people will use it.
So the suggestion only caters for 10% of the BB population. Is that fair do you think?
The game is a management game, not a live interaction game, there are other games that cater for that ....(. Im about to buy NBA 2k14, to play live interaction. )

and basically, this suggestion has been suggested for abouot the last 4 years, since Buzzerbeater ever began. if you search the suggestion forum's you will see it suggested hundreds of times and it has never been done and never will be. This game just isnt meant for live interaction.

I completely agree about the management side of it and getting good at managing game shape is a skill and can give you the upper hand over your opponent. I'm wishful thinking really that there could be some kind of feature to use when watching a game, just to give me a reason to watch a game live. At the moment it's as if the games are already predetermined as soon as the tip off commences, which just kills the whole excitement of watching a live game for me. But I understand not everyone can watch their games live. Oh well! A man can dream ;)

ironically enough, the games are pre-determined when you are watching them! lol

you may not know, but the game engine for your game is actually run 15 minutes before the game is 'shown live'. This is why you can't change tactics in the 15 mins leading up to the game.

There also used to be a bug (not sure if it still exists) where if you are playing a cup game, the $50k will appear in your bank account, before the actual 'live game' is finished, thus meaning you have won your cup game.

So yer, the fact that the game engine is run in advance of you watching the game, this is also a pretty good reason for not having lve substitutions.
