The problems with arena income, ticket prices and STH's are (logically) all related. We hope to fix this asap. Unfortunately, we don't think we are able to fix this retroactively though, meaning that lost money is lost money and extra earned money is extra earned money.

We expect that for at least the next two weeks, updates will continue to show delays, however we think we reduced the time needed for an update with 60% since last saturday.

We didn't make any changes to the game engine, we just inserted new commentary lines. So all changes you may notice will not affect game results and are just in the match viewer.

Actually 10 minutes after all the league games in my div finished, the league overview and everything else was already updated. I thought that was pretty quick :)

In yesterdays Nt match viewer announced double-double to player who didn't play single second in the entire game.


It seems that viewer just announces double-double for a wrong player (from a wrong team). When this happens, the opponent's player scores it. I've also noticed similar thing in few other situations too. I wouldn't even rule out that it's just a translation problem...

You are right sir(Knecht). The Game Engine is the heart and soul of the game and it is messed up. I am watching my cup game right now and I have had 3 double doubles in the 1st half even know none of my players have one. Im sure glad they fixed the BB3( even though it only effects 128 teams). The Game engine should be the top priority...is it? NO!!!

It's not a problem with the Game Engine, it's a problem with the Match Viewer.

Inserted new commentary lines, but i still see some bugs from the past. It would be nice that before introducing some new stuff, try to correct the mistakes before reported.

For example a player from the same team still ''tries to block a shoot attempt''...


The live looks really ugly(now) and its the thing I most i enjoy from this game. I dont care if the leagues updates are late, or if the off-season process is late but the live...
I missed the last 5 min of the 3rd game for the promotion(because of server fail and it was a close match) so i dont care to have an off-season process late for 1 day, i just want to enjoy watcing the games.

Also i dont see any information about new taktiks(and when they implemented the zones, it dindt work really well and after we complained, BB's checked the zones weren't working as supposed).


Maybe BB's are trying to do many things new like contest etc, but it got the impresion that we are forgetting whats most important.

One time, I really cared about this stuff, though I don't really remember what exactly the stuff was, but it reminded me of the times when I was in that cage and I felt really sad and the bad people said I should shut up and stop crying and then they threw this stuff in the cage and that's the stuff I really cared about, but I didn't care about the bad people, at least not until they went away and then I started thinking about them and what they might be doing and all that, which is when I would cry some more and get really afraid that something would happen to the stuff, but now everything is okay and I have lots of stuff that I don't care about so much anymore, but sometimes there is stuff that I do care about.

Don't ask what sort of Chunks they are, you probably don't want to know. Blowing Chunks since Season 4!

Totally agree. The live experience, in my opinion, is for sure one of the most appreaciated things from BB and it shouldn't be spoiled with mistaken commentaries on the game viewer because, even though it's not a problem of the Game Engine (so such things as one player trying to block his teammate do not really affect on the probability of that shot being scored or not), it still gets me a bit annoyed watching this type of plays more than twice every single game or watching how the referees give my team the ball after a lost ball in a rebound and its my opponents shot clock the one ticking down.

I really hate this one...It drives me crazy..The other teams shot clocking is running down and my team shoots the ball..It doesn't get any worse than this in my opinion.

How is this even possible? You changed the rebounding to reflect team rebounding and less individual rebounding right? We now get all of these scuffle for the ball's and ball goes out of bounds while team A tries to rebound. Is this just text?

On that note, this new team rebounding thing is great, if your team isnt a very good rebounding team. One would think that balls going out of bounds rebounding or scuffles for the ball would favor better rebounding teams. I.E. If my team is better at rebounding I will get more team rebounds comparably on average. From what I have seen so far this season, they run about 50/50 ish. All that time and money I put into making sure I was a good rebounding team was wasted. I could have trained or payed for something else and just let scuffles and out of bounds kind of even things up a bit. I really really hope I am dead wrong about this, but so far everything I have seen this season says bingo. Peeved
