Second Team:

I don't know one from the top of my head. But that doesn't mean that saving space might not be useful at some later date. Anything that might be different for players and has an effect on the game would be more useful than this in this place. The player roles have just no ingame function, except for looks. Furthermore I don't know why you speak about asking everyone what their key players is. That has nothing to do with what I said.

In case you really need an example. Let's say the BB's decide at some point they want the aggression stat to be visible. If you keep everything there is now AND add that the player screen gets even more colorful and more confusing. Just keep the essential info/things (that have an effect in the game) in the player profile.

Other possibilities:

- marketability stat that differs based on how long a player has been in basketball, with the team and his stats. (sort of the merchandise visualized)
- I don't know the future.....but I'd rather save the space for something that has an ingame effect.

As far from what I have learned how suggestions are handled and realized - I bet they don't.


That is simply not true.

The stat has had a decent impact on my quick views of opposing teams and has already come in handy. When I can see which of the 30 players (!!!) some teams in my league are actually playing in any given game without having to pore over multiple game stat pages, I think it's awfully useful.

I'm sure that in a the NBBA or a D2 situation you're going to have smaller more streamlined teams but for those of us sitting in the newbie divisions it can be quite handy. If it lost the (Buzzerbeta) tag it would take up less space though.

Haven't read the thread, but i would like the roles to include the position of the player like: Starting SG, Backup SF, Star PF, or something like that, going by the most minutes the player has played at a certain position. I think it would help with quick scouting.

That would be a worthwhile addition to this feature. Something like MPG (minutes per game) at their most played position is simple enough that it would help and wouldn't be too much of an eye sore.

i bet the BB's would love to hear what more useful things you mean.

Translation- Since they dont listen to me and do everything I tell them, they dont do anything.

First off all, i still don't like the roles and i will never like them

The fact that its minute related is nice but if my oponent looks at my roster. Well my line up isnt a big surprise, he can look this up in about five seconds

If what Kazim is suggesting happens than that would be even easier and another way off boosting the transfermarket.
Hey i got a player who is a bronze star, guess what 100k extra to ask
And why discriminate in the stars colours? and what do the IV and V divisions get?

Just ban the roles and make me happy ;-)

And again, due to the ease of use that Roles bring, I would be annoyed if they disappeared. Instead of clicking a team, clicking games, then going through and analyzing a half dozen or so trying to keep names straight, I instead go to the Roster and see right away who plays most often. Of course, I don't know what position they're normally played in, but I can tell which players I'll be facing off against and can more easily adjust strategy from there.

Roles aren't a necessary addition. It's just something for ease of use and I believe it more than does its job.

In that same vein, while I agree with your suggestion on adding the stars, it's also just ease of use. If you think someone's been an All Star, you can look at their game history. Is it more additional clicks? Yep! But it will give the same information that a star would.
