You are neglecting the effort of manager who scout their opponents i.e. tactics, roster (some can even write down skills when there is a player on TL for later use),... and enthusiasm level. You are making the game simplier for no gain.


And in that matter, I think the best thing would be to either show it completely or hide it so no party would no how the other party had played.

It is hidden and you are still unsettled. You are searching for problem where isn't any.

I actually don't have any problem with the current level of visibility of enthusiasm.
My problem is managers who abuse it since if they are one of the playing teams they know exactly who played how, and can publish it in the Forums/BB-Mail/anywhere...
That's why I think that if it remains the same a rule against publishing it (and player skills) should exist. at least in the forums and bb-mail...

actually it is illegal to give other players stats to someone . Juice has asked many times and deleted messages from players linking to a player on the transfer market who is not yours or posting there skills. I am the only one who is allowed to post my players stats to the best of my knowledge and if i am wrong i would love for a GM to correct me. If i am wrong then there should be because what is the point of keeping skill as not being seen if everyone can pas them around anyway.

If i have a center who has 15 ID IS and REB and i don't want the whole league to know, then whoever does know about him and tells the league makes it unfair to me.

As for the debate. I agree with Yaniv. It is one thing to see team A put more in them team B. It is another thing to know team A played crunch. There are far to many players in this game the tell everybody what is going on and is just should not be. I should have to figure it out on my own.

You got to know when to hold em, know when to fold em, Know when to walk away and know when to run. You never count your money when youre sittin at the table. Therell be time enough for countin when the dealins done.

This is a completely different issue, and it has to do with the rules of the Transfer Ad thread. Passing other players' skills around has nothing to do with it.

While you might not like it, this is not against BB rules.

its not whether i like it or not. It is a question of fairness. If one person in my league see the player i buy and can post it in the forum then what is the point of not being able to see all players all the time.

You are a GM. so you tell me if it is legal for me to post a player that someone else has bought or not.

This is precisely what I am telling you. Once the player skills hit the public domain, everyone is free to disseminate them as he sees fit.

that is very stupid then. If someone who was bought then has a new manager so if the new manager does not post his skills then it should not be allowed.

You're certainly entitled to your opinion.

Again, once the skills are out there for anyone to see, there is, nor will there be, something to prevent users from recording those skills and using them as they see fit.

The BBAPI does not allow mining of TLed player skills, FWIW, but any manual recording is allowed (and unpoliceable).
