BB has some major advantages over HT, but it is an immitation and they made the GE of BB still too much like soccer/from teh perspective of a soccer player. This blows a lot of realism of the GE/games etc. and the skillsetup.
I think what BB needs is to be completely remade, using the code as a basepoint, but a new game. Like Mario 2 etc., you stick with some of the basic stuff, but improve o ther stuff. For the GE they should bring in a real basektball coach and player and far remove it from any soccer analogies. At its core they shoudl make it a basketball game, not a basketball version of a soccer game. That said though there are some aspects of hattrick which seem to be balanced a bit better.
I can see that. The major difference is that if this were HT, the engine would look at for example my outside scoring vs. your outside defense and generate results based on that, and then assign shots and their results to players after determining a score. At least here, although it's not ideal, at least it does seem to look at individual matchups and have the scores derive from that, rather than from the amalgamated rankings.
