I cant see Buzzerbeater adding a new skill to only old players as that would cause unforseen effects to the transfer market.


I said that the new skills would only apply to new players (so those in the next draft for example). It would not apply to players already in the system. It is similar to how potential works, players already in existence got a particular cap (all the same). And new players got different potential - some lower and some higher.

In saying that, I don't want to see another skill added to players. I'm just saying that it is possible to do it in such a way as to not disrupt things too much.

I think adding something that effects ingame performance in the same manner that potential was added that does not effect ingame performance would have entirely different results.

Why dont call it crowd-pleasing attribute. With every action in the game there are a roll to see if the player will try a crowd pleasing action. If the player decide to take such a action like a 360, behind the back pass or some amazing ankle breaker the difficulty increases quite a bit. there are no in game advantage of doing this but having a lot of successful crowd-pleasing actions will sell more tickets and increase merchandise.

Apart from the players attribute the game situation greatly affect the chances for a crowd-pleasing action. The team that are fighting to get back in the game wont attempt any such actions, while leading by 30 will greatly increase this kind of actions.

Pros: Teams might not throw games as easily as they do now.

Cons: Dominant teams might get even greater advantages from other teams not puting up a fight.

That sounds interresting. Something like level of exhibicionism. Actions done by these could be more liked for the eye of the crowd, but there would be stronger chance to fail... you know focusing on the attractivity of the game means these can end up with bad results.

So you will have a chance of making a few extra bucks, while risking the outcome of the game.

in the end you need the extra bucks, to win the future games ;) But when all those starts as kids, this is possible to implement without lot change(maybe the give up games lock more like a globetrotter match) in the beginning at least for the older clubs.

This suggestion adds nothing. Adding something for the sake of adding get's us nowhere. We have merchandise factors (PR lvl, NT players, drafted players). We have skills that can be linked to speed, leaping, strenght etc. Adding something that effects only new players would be really wrong.

But basketball, more than other sports, is about creating attractivity for the crowd, isnt it?

No it's not more than other sports. There are show offs in any sports. I agree it's a bit hard to show off while running a marathon, but there are show elements in many sports, some are even judged on it. Basketball is about scoring points and defending your basket. Player who does an ankle breaker, swirms through 3 players and then shoots an air ball, is still a dumbo. Even if he makes it, that's a stupid shot and will still count for 2 points. What's the point of that one play if your team still loses. As long as we see things text based, this gives nothing to the game and giving extra merchandise on something so trivial is pointless. I would not want that showoff handling the ball when the game is on the line. I remember when Nash and Stoudamire were in Dunk contest in one all star weekend. They tryed one dunk about 15 times. That's really entertaining, NOT!
I love a boxer that shows off then get's KO-d...
