BuzzerBeater Forums

I'd like to reiterate my previous suggestion of having an option to formally retire a player. You can implement conditions like the player having to be 35+ years old or having lost n% of his peak salary or peak total skill points to prevent abuse.

Could we have some sort of forum or chat for Private Leagues? I understand they would either have to be public or unmoderated but it would be cool to have.

I have a random idea: Target for every manager at the beginning of the season.

Say 8 teams in Great 8, then based on last season standing, BB could assign the new target for the new season, those targets could be:
1. Fair enough, demotion last season, but get promotion in this new season.
2. Failed to win relegation series, but either clinch final 64 in national tournament or get promotion within two seasons.
3. Survived in relegation series, target either to clinch final 64 in national tournament or to be top 5 in the next season.
4. Ranked fifth last season, target to join the playoff or to be final 8 in the national tournament.
5. Participated playoff game(s), target to get into the playoff final and play against Big 8.
6~8. Participated playoff game(s), target to get into the playoff final and win the promotion.

Should the manager make such achievement, then we could give him, say expanding the arena by 500 seats, or better ranking to select the draftees.

just wanted to repeat a minor suggestion from season start: Medical History of players (or injury summary/report):

"INJURY REPORT (or history, or whatever you want to call it: Is it possible that on the Player's page right menu (where you see the statistics) you can add an Injury report, or actually "Medical History" would be more realistic. This should contain:

-how many times the player has been injured throughout his career.
-how many weeks the player was injured (just a simple count of the weeks number that we normally see when the player is injured)
-how many games the player missed due to injury (or would have missed in case he was healthy and the manager coud have played him).

just like career stats page, that could look like:

Season - Injuries - Wks Inj - GMs missed - PO/RL GMs (split for playoff/relegation games missed)
33 - 1 - 2 - 5 - 0

and then a Total at the bottom.
thank you.

I have another suggestion: Match review report.

This review will cost manager say $50,000 (or something similar), but give the hints or more information about the opponent's individual players attributes.

Here is an example for (88995208) : Forty two played the game pretty well, but was very unlucky to lose the game. Semeonas Kozurovas was unable to overcome Jimmy Lajarrige's sensational outside defence and turned the ball over 5 times. Grégory Lebec had wondrous outside defence and defended really well. As a back-up, strong block-shot skills gave Mathieu Furet 4 blocks. Prime time for Amir Parcero had already gone, Forty two needed another player for SG position if really want to win the game. Benjamin Mabille had average outside defence skills but profilic in rebounding, while Robert Lassalle is just strong in rebounding and proficient in ID. Cyril Thierry played excellent in centre position. Thierry Thiébaut had tremendous JS and prominent IS, so almost no chance to defend him. If no major change from Haute savoie Green Lions, maybe Forty two could try inside oriented offensive tactics next time they will meet.

The ratings of skills are not accurate, these were affected by GS. Say, wondrous outside defence means senational or prodigious.

I thought you're the thread moderator ...

Anyway, I will not reply to you next tiime in this thread :)

I have a minor suggestion: could BB add EXPERIENCE pop-ups alerts to our training page? i know players don't actually "train" experience, but unlike game shape, which is easly trackable and stable, experience can become lost since there is no visual alert to.

right now, the only efficient way i can track it is with my developement resume from buzzer-manager.

thank you.

If you can track it on Buzzer manager you don't need it ingame.

that obviously is not an argument: you are saying that since i can also track player's names and stats on buzzer-manager, then players names and stats are redundant and useless "ingame".

besides, this is buzzerbeater, not buzzer-manager. what buzzer-manager has or does not have is not relevant to BB. i named it to exemplify, precisely, the need of the minor suggestion i made. thank you.
