I don't see why I should have to play with more players as if today with 3 players against 12 in Greece (17597214) I lose with 99-98 (after they hit their last 2 shots with 3-pointers), we won the rebounds 47-32.... Who cares about what happens in a scrimmage, there is no audience anyway.

you are looking for a good reason? Let me try to give 1

It drives up TL traffic. ;)


I bought a 1000$ guy before last scrimmage, only to get 5 players on the field.

I could have just played my four, and have a lucky fan play, but I hate it that my valuable fans would get injured during play, so I decided to spend a 1000 on a player. I call it "lucky player" since otherwise he would have spend his last miserable days on the TL. Now he could end in glory, playing with others he was worshipping anyway, ending his career with a glorious win.


But I know you are right. If the BBs have chosen 3 is the number, then they either have a good reason for it, or thought it was a nice number. And unless there is some real good reason, I don't see reason to change it (read put time and effort in it).

On the other hand, if a majority of the BB-users would like a change better, that would be a real good reason. Not sure where we stand on this point thoug.


They are not your friends; they dispise you. I am the only one you can count on. Trust me.

I think the reason for minimum 3 players is training. The most positions you can train (aside from team training) is 3. Mayyybee

No, that's senseless and not logical, but it's a nice try anyway. 3 is just a number greater than 2 and smaller than 5. Like 4, so the logic is just that logical ...

Thank you for a clear explanation. But the leitmotiv of records (high scores) taken up elsewhere in the forums, are or maybe can be a result of these "full team against a quarter of a team"-match. Easy to make an all time high score in such match. Or are we guaranteed against such?

where league could you find a team which gets players from the audience?
please give at least a little importance to the league and tournaments. this 3 player feature makes the league and National tournament to look too cheap.

What about this? The Game Engine itself submits 5 players randomly... And if a team doesn't have at least 5 players the game then the match is a forfeit...

those players are pretty weak, and in Buzzerbeater you don't have player passes or roosterlimits - so i could hirea player for one 1k before the game and fire him after it. It this case it doesn't sound unlogic, if i go to the crowd and say hey we need another player, did soeone fit an jersey in XL?

The quality of this players is even weaker then those 1k players, so i don't think this has an effect on tournament or league.

Even if this reasons aren't perfect, but what will a change mean, lot of people don't get it and are dissaporinted when they forfeit a game they want to use for training, or the case the BB talked of with injury or sells who you didn't expect it.
