Agree 100%. In my 9 seasons that I have actually known about and been interested in B3, I have only taken part in the B3 Predictions 3 times (once being this season), as I generally forget about it the first week and then am too far behind point-wise to want to take part in the predictions for the following rounds.

They could also award a trophy for the winning tipster that can be displayed.

Perhaps a dart against a dartboard symbolising the tipping nature of this competition.

Would add more weight to the competition

My write ups are continuing ((264084.78) & (264084.78) and Im thinking of framing a speculative "odds" market

I would love to see some research figures on why people are dropping out of the game and also how long they actually played the game before dropping out.

My gut feel is that people may reach a "skill" level at which they plateau and then lose interest in the game.
i.e. Are people losing interest after being stuck in a league for a long period of time and they cant see a way of winning that league?

Many Managers wrongly blame the game engine, their arena size etc rather than the main reason which is their lack of knowledge of the game comparative to that of other managers in the league.

Increasing awareness of readily accessible sequential chunk size bits of knowledge would be great and I reckon would help with retention levels

Perhaps a title in the Game Manual index for "higher level knowledge" or "how to get higher level knowledge" or links dangling from the bottom of the Tactics page in the game manual might be away in which Managers can easily find research information and continue to improve.



The powers could even announce such an innovation in the new season update news

Also as I have said before I think we need to advertise more that this is a strategic management game and not just an online basketball game so that the people who do join up dont get wrongly disillussioned

Is it possible to have more beard types to personalize players ?
Or for exemple the sale beard but in different Colors ?

Any chance that the rules could be softened that prevent my Hopelessly Addicted (HA) team acquiring a player from my Utopian team?

(20960649) is one of the very best guards in the world but I will never be able to get him into my HA team, ever.

He would certainly increase my chances in B3 next season and might be one of the very few players in the world of Buzzerbeater, if not the only player, who has his current skillset.

Surely if he was to be sold from my Utopian team there should be a time period after which my HA team could pay market price for him, off another owner

I think it would be neat to add an international skills competition like the all star game. The winners of the local league could advance to national and then the winners of that international.

This is an easy one.

Can you guys highlight starters in match reports? like just put an "S" near him just like in the viewer. Sometimes, this info comes in handy.

Private League games should really be private and not visible to anyone not in the PL.
