I like basketball, but I can´t talk whit you of scottish basket because I´m not from scottland, I´m spanish, I created this team the last year because my girlfriend was in the erasmus program, in Aberdeen, that´s the reason for the name of my team, 'Hillheads'.

Un Saludo

I wouldn't say that no one likes basketball here, there are actually quite a few people but they're simply not aware that Buzzerbeater exists and even if they do, most people are too lazy to devote some time towards learning about the game.

It's not we do not have time or we're lazy...we just are engrossed in our studies about tactics and how to defeat all of you that are discussing...just joking guys! Personally I haven't got much time recently (you can see last season results...), but I'm glad to see that our forum is quite active. Compared to the past it's an improvement as well as NT partecipation. I'm very happy to see some new scottish managers dealing now with the NT (Abbey in this case) and possibly in the future. If you guys remember jsut a couple of season ago we were debating just between 3 or 4 users...so do not put you down and be aware that people are in the game even if they haven't got time to follow the forum every day. Good luck you all for this season. Orkney is still my favorite this year but I'll try to do better this year.

I remember you used to write long articles analysing the league like the football pundits on tv.

I was really only wondering if you guys had any ideas about how to try to improve the Scottish leagues.

Personally I have the same problem none of my friends like basketball but I spoke to the guys who I know that like games with strategical elements and stuff like that.

Unfortunately people just give up. We were up to 50+ users at one point but I guess they only want instant success (or they're just someone's 2nd account). We're now almost 10 seasons and I saw the other day a wee country like Macau (3rd season) have more users than us (population of Macau only ~500,000).

Sad...

Well the first league will be fine I believe but for the people that get relegated it will be hell, winning games on a 50 point average against bots, no motivation at all. If we would have at least 4-5 active users in each II division, that would be a good starting point

Div II1 has quite a few human teams I believe, but yes you're right, even human teams often give up and become de facto bot teams. At least they could concentrate on cup games and try to do a giant killing. It's getting quite competitive in Div I now.

Does anyone know when we will be able to use the Scouting Combine?? It was supposed to be available after the Allstar Game but I still can't use it.
