WHY WHY WHY do you do this to me game engine!?


the official line is "Buzzerbeater does not encourage 48 min training/game since the training was not conceived to be handled this way"

i asked BB-Marin the other day what did the developers had in mind back then, since it was somewhat obvious that managers would adopt this strategy. he said he didn't know since he wasn't hired yet when the game was conceived.

i guess the developers thought that nobody would sacrifice their lineups for the sake of training and then train only 1 or 2 players as backups and using scrimmages to add up the missing minutes. they would have probably achieved that goal if they had set training mininums to 49 minutes instead of 48. when they set to exactly 48 minutes their plan went wrong and suddenly they had a basketball simulator where virtually every team plays with a center as PG (or vice-versa)

I was skeptical too, but after struggling with my 6 trainees to get the minutes four weeks in a row, I tried to leave the starting position blank. After that, 8 games and every time my trainees got 48 minutes. Still a small sample size, but so far so good.

Thanks for checking my minutes, but all my trainees (SF/PF) got 48 minutes. And I know about low salaries, but still I wasn't able to get 48 minutes for all my 6 trainees before I tried to leave the starter empty. As I said, small sample size, but let's see after this season how it went.

Sorry, my bad. I counted the PL games, but of course those shouldn't be in the mix. So just 6 games so far. But anyway, no under 48 minutes games after I tried to leave the starter empty.
