BuzzerBeater Forums

It could be a way of dealing with the penalty of the 5th place.
I like this idea.

I dont think that the offseason should be taken as long, but as a short one. You have to learn to be patienced after a 3 months of regular season for one more week or so, while there would be a space to implement something interresting. Look at the training iself - which were much more faster before and I think that were wise to make every popup in fact an event, while there are so many things you have to wait for.

I would like to see the draft as something which you explore more on decades and more to the deail..

And the training camp is best one. I agree with randomness declared by Zyzla. But I dont understand why should be there the differences between teams which done something in PO or are in some position. Thanks to that random factor on training camp you can do even that - team which will end earlier, can send several players from his team to the training camp also earlier and make from it more, because you are still disadvantage by that you cannot choose what to train. It is today, indeed, like that - longer you are in the game, so long you can train, but it is like that only because random training camp doesnt exist.

I think most people like buzzerbeater because it's a fast paced game. It's not like some other online sporting simulations where everything takes months to happen

Wow, my opinion on this topic is really the oppsite. I think BB is a very slow game, a season takes three months - and if you want to develop a player from scratch you can make plans for the next year or two. Thats a pretty long timespan imo :D

----------------------------

I think the shorter the offseason is the better, as there is nothing to do at the moment I don't see us profit from an extension to two or three weeks unless something pretty important is introduced, like summer leagues and/or training camps, on the other hand those things seem to be pretty useless as many teams depend so much on their revenues that there could be serious financial problems for some of them.

Just imagine you spent all your seasons income to get some better players before the trading deadline to go deep in the playoffs, lose in the first round and spend three weeks without income...

if you think buzzer is slow, what about hattrick, teahHB, where it takes 5 weeks for a single stat raise?

concerning the spending and income during offseason, well that's a risk...
there must be risks in games.
in first person shooters you die, here you go bankrupt or have to sell players.
good financial decisions are part of the game and what separates good managers from bad ones.
also, the offseason needs to be this long, the BB need time to prepare drafts, relegations and promotions, NT elections must be held and people must have time to present their cases, it can't all be done in a week.

if you think buzzer is slow, what about hattrick, teahHB, where it takes 5 weeks for a single stat raise? :)

I you are used playing offlien-manager games where a season can be finished in 1-3 hours, or other online manager games where a game daily happens and a season is about a month long, BB is a turtle-paced game :D

if you think buzzer is slow, what about hattrick, teahHB, where it takes 5 weeks for a single stat raise? :)

in this dimension, what effect has one skill playmaking in HT and one SKill JS in Buzzer for example, i think the general player improvement isn't that different.

if you say so
I was just saying what friends that play both told me...

in this case the off season, would be as "short" as ever but more fun for teams who are out of competition.
