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?

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.


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.

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.


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.

But they got the advantage to see if using the 10 point options for size and age, and the 10 point option for the 1 and 2 ball players were worth using. They got reset and could now choose not to spend on those options. Information once revealed can no longer be fully hidden. Preferably, those teams with negative balances could kept their scouting options and had to pay to get into a zero or positive balance utilizing their future scouting expenditures. Of course, some of those people would cut their training expense to 0 so they wouldn't ever have to pay for this benefit.

I agree that this is the logical result.

You are right, there are probably a few that figured out how to benefit from it in the short few minutes they had to take advantage of it. On the flip side, its really mostly a wash anyway, because any of those players that are now concealed again, they will have to to pay individually to get that same info if they choose not to pay the whole 10 points, and that is if they were able to remember which players had which info, or were smart enough to quicklly take notes. I just dont think that overall many if any really got much of a benefit from it, and so few would have anyway, its not worth the hastle involved in a reset, or worth offending those who did things right, and like their results, and now would be punished for it. There is not one right answer, I would rather let the few 'scoundrels" get away with something, than all of the problems that could come from a reset. Lets just let it go and move on. We all have a game tomorrow!! i am excited about that!

the whole thing needs reseting. if you read the first 20 posts or so i was the first to notice the points issue could be abused and posted that the draft needed to go offline till fixed or people will get an unfair advantage , or use there points because they think they had more.

either way the current season scouting system is highly tainted as if someone gets a good pick people will think did he get that player because he found him during the point bug and then drafted him or did he really scout him properly.

for me the issues happened at 4am aussie time so im confident the majority of my league would have been asleep.
