Yes, that would certainly be fair to all the people out there that didn't overspend with scouting points they never had and are happy with what they drafted so far. I am quite pleased with how I've used my scouting points so far and would not be happy if everything was reset and the couple of great players I've found disappeared. There's no perfect way to settle this.


I was thinking the same thing. Cracks me up how people complained for days about the BB's not rushing to get this released, and despte being patient there were some issues that they QUICKLY resolved....and here some of the same people were impatient, are complaining now. Sorry guys, but you can't have it both ways.

Just because you were lucky to find a couple of good players, doesn't mean resetting the draft isn't fair. The inequity in question is that some users get a redo because they ended with a negative balance rather than a positive balance. Really, the only way to offset this inequity is to do a reset and put everyone back on an equal footing. However, I do get the feeling that a reset for everyone is not going to happen since the BBs have been very quiet since this morning.

I agree too. Btw, is it correct that bot team will no longer choose randomly but according to the baseline ranking? Well, funny as it is, the first player in my league's baseline ranking had a 5 star Potential, 5 star Rating, 18 years old, SG at 6'6". o.O... possibly the next Kobe Bryant retired as soon as he's drafted? Sad...

How about not deploying it with obvious bugs that inaccurately displayed the number of scouting points you had. That compounded by a fix for some but not all users creates some valid reasons to be upset.

I apologize if I am misunderstanding you, but I don't think you are understanding why the reset occured. It wasn't simply that people had a negative balance...the negative balance means they spent more than they were entitled to. So leaving it the way it was, gave them unfair scouting. resetting those coaches just takes away the extra information they were not entitled to.

Well, can somebody tell me how many points we'll receive for each amount?

A complete and total reset that some are calling for I imagine would be a very resource-intensive process. We often hear each season how long it takes to generate the draftees for each league. Additionally, there are many more BB users who don't frequent the forums than those who do. A reset now would generate more confusion than it's worth. A mistake was made, the BB's did what they could to fix it, and didn't please everybody. It happens.

That announcement being posted on the main page about everything being fixed was the point of no return, in my opinion.

You are probably right...but then people would still be complaining because its not out yet. People are going to be pissed no matter what happens, just depends on what you are pissed about.

I don't know if this has been posted but, when you scout and lets say you scout one player and that's $5000 a week, do you pay $5000 or do you receive that money, i think i know the answer but i'm not quite sure.
