BuzzerBeater Forums

Maybe the tactics could be displayed only after the end of Q2 and some kind of sports commentary be displayed like:

Team A obviously runs a Motion offense and defends with a 3-2/2-3 zone. This defense has been very succesful for them as they rank 3rd in points allowed/this defense matches up very well against the low post strategy of the opponent... and so on.

There should be a way to code a meaningful commentary that uses stats, tactics and lineups to create a text. Maybe even feature single players who drop a few words:

Let's ask our courtside reporter Buzz R. Beater, what Player X, the reigning scoring champion has to say.

Buzz: Yo, wassup dawg, good job good effort, what'S your take on the game so far?
Player X: One love, no homo. Yeah, we tried to pound the ball, very strong defense - now we have to make a strong push to get it done.

Add a point differential to the Rivalry History page. Even though my rival has a 2:1 win ratio against me, I believe we have fairly close PD, probably <20.

I have a minor suggestion: Buying draft picks from BOT before draft.

I know that there could be cheating if buying / selling draft picks between active teams. Therefore, my idea is from active teams to BOT in lower level of leagues only. All the money go to BB, just like "Free Agent".

In order to purchase the draft picks, teams need to spend money to buy picks and use scouting points to scout / group demo.

It's just an idea, feel free to dsicuss about how it will work.

Maybe just let active managers draft first, then from what is left bot teams draft. Therefore, countries don't lose their top potential players to bots.

Draft picks used to smaller/weaker teams get a potential star to their roster so they can improve somehow. Usually bots are the last teams in league so they get first picks.. So best teams in the league could easily buy this picks, as these teams usually have more money than mid teams. So not only team gets a full promotion , a lot of money and etc after the wining the league , that team would get a first pick in the draft.. Nonsense.. Better idea would be to skip bot teams in the draft and give them last undrafted players..

Just an observation. For new teams in small nations, you are doomed to bankruptcy unless you know that you have to invest in arena, because of the salary floor. If you start as a casual player, or does not invest heavily with time and effort to getting up to par with all of the aspects (especially the economics) quickly the approx 171.000 salary floor can hit very hard. So if you don't know that you have to focus almost only on arena for 3-4 months, we are excluding new managers. There is no room to play around and get to know the different aspects of the game.

The economics page and your team vs league average does not reflect the situation for the first 16 weeks, and there is no indicator of how long time you have left. I wish there were some kind of countdown mechanism.

I am not saying this because I want an easier time in my micro nation wonderworld. I am trying to describe the experience new inexperienced managers face when they have to start in div II. Since it will take some time before a possible/probable merge, is there some other way to help keep the managers that sign up? I don't have the solution ready, but I see the problem, which may in part be keeping micronation from growing.

make messages to other users less restrictive to non-supporters.

Currently the restriction is 1000 characters for a non-supporter. While it makes sense to give supporters tangible benefits for their support of the game, it damages the ability to communicate in game with other managers who might be new to the game. I shouldn't have to direct someone to an offsite or somewhere away from buzzer beater to teach them about buzzer beater in one go, if they so desire my advice. The same issue might also occur with other better managers than myself attempting to do the same thing.

Just think it'd be easier to retain users if this restriction was rethought.

I would like to assign my NT players jersey numbers.

Holla if you wit me.

Either remove completely transfer price estimates on players 34+ or change them so they have the same age ranges as younger players, ie 33-34, 35-36 etc

It makes no sense to compare a 36yo to a 33, when the expected decline is different and therefore the value of the player should be different. Sellers are able to put a price at the top end of the expected range and buyers who do not properly understand the market may not realise they're overpaying.

While I understand the concept of caveat emptor, I don't think exploiters should be assisted.

Price estimates could use a overhaul to fine-tune it a bit more.
Every year over 32 should have its own range, since the decline differs.
