First, please apologize my poor english. ;)

I totally - word by word - agree to the posting of Tautis. I suggested the same on German board (last year and this year again) and the idea found full support by many BB managers.

Lots of advantages would be the result:
- more interactive features > more "customer loyalty" > more supporters
- more communication between managers
- everyone is proud of their allstar player(s)
- votings reward most active managers
- vivid, interesting all star day

Of course things like no voting for own player, computer votes for inactive managers, maybe today's calculation make 50% of the vote ... should be included.

Please, think about it.

Even Worst case .. managers vote bad players, would vitalize the ASD. But afaik everyone is proud of their best players and everyone wants to see the best players of the league. (Easily to prevent by voting only out of Top10 in every position ...)

I agree the system should be changed, and I think it is a very good idea to let the managers choose at least the backups of each team.
But I think the voting how it is atm penalizes teams with good backup players, because the minutes can be shared without heavy losses in the team's performance. If your team is that balanced you will never have any player in the statsleaders or voteleaders...
I personally think the beste solution would be a allstar ballot paper like it is used in the NBA. There are many differnet players for each position, but only the best of each team.

make the votes of managers public, and all lynch the fools not voting in a serious way..

We don't even have forum voting public:) I think that would create a superdrama.

Well I dont want to be sad here again, but I think that manager should have to do something first to have the right to vote. Like acceptance with that, then it would be at disposal (normally that would be done autmaticly). It is just because lot of managers just will not vote, because it is too much work. Just look at NT elections and real volume of users in that country.

The participation will not be 100 percent.

You are talking about published votes. I think that there has to be that - if anyone voted for your player, it has to be mentioned on players page (if you click on him) even for not involved users. This will create propagation of this feature and in advance propagation of your succesfull player.

Aditionally I think that there has to be during voting any list of players (sorted by wage or results, I dont know), with his name and team where he belongs, so you can look at them at one page and have life easier during voting.

A Change must happen in this case because seriously i dont even watch the Allstar-Games anymore because it is just dump. The votings are messed up, sometimes there are players nominated when they dont even play in the S5 of the team they belong to, player showing up with wrong teamnames.. kinda creepy.

The manager should have the right to vote, like 50% is the engine voting and 50% mangervotes or like someone else said that the engine points 4 players for each position out and then the manager of each division can vote for them so there are really playing the best players oft the league.

It would be alltough really nice if the manger could vote for a certain taktik. The game is really boring how it goes right know.

Best Regards

Link the match outcome to more merch/TV money for the Big or Great 8 and then see if players dont communicate more effectively to get the 'best 5' and back ups out on the court.

sorry this is a little off topic but still about the allstar game... is there a bonus if you get a player in the all-star game? I didnt notice last season... but maybe you get 25k for each player in the allstar game?

or different from all that, your merchandise will go up more if you have a few guys in the allstar game because when (for example) Mo Willliams made the all-star game a few seasons ago that more Cleveland fans bought his jersey afterwards.
