JP, your despicable. Just look the other way and the problem with go away right?

Managers take advantage of "." and invisible players while displacing good hardworking BB players. This must stop!

you can check the match here any way: (17579135)

if you have time pls. watch at the replay and try to see the scores in the side (click more there) and you will see what im talking about. it is funny to see that a Lucky fan takes a shot in the scrimmage.

and if you total the opponents player scores, the total is only 58.
wheres the missing 4 points??
if you total the opp. rebounds, it has 29 rebounds.
wheres the 23 rebounds?

to sum it up these invisible players had 4 points, 23 rebounds an assist, a block and a steal.

maybe these invisible players played PF and C. pls fix it.

Your view does not get any stronger with excessive use of exclamation points (The !'s). The players you speak of as invisible are lucky fans that get a chance to play if a team does not have enough starters. This may happen if a player get injured, fouled out or if there is not enough starters to begin with. Some managers field only 3 starters in unimportant matches to utilise the training minutes without ruining game shape. This is especially the case for teams with a small roster.

These lucky fans are inferior in quality to regular players. Imagine three good players playing an exhibition match for fun and training (scrimmages) where me and Juice get to play along with them... We would perform much better playing with the good players than if the whole team consisted of Juices*.

You can comfort yourself with that as your team progresses, the gap between your players and these lucky fans will be remarkably bigger and they will hardly contribute with anything at all, rendering the "3 player tactic" useless unless against very weak teams.

I play like LeBron James, except if he were the complete opposite of what he is now.

NO ONE at this table ordered a rum & Coke
Charles: Penn has some good people
A CT? Really?
Any two will do
Any three for me
Any four will score
Any five are live

I guess if they only lose by 15, then lucky fans aren't that much worse than the crappy players some people throw out in scrimmages.

while I find it counter-intuitive to play with less than five players, the alternative is simply to keep the worst players you can find on your roster - then you get the bizarre situation of bidding on 1k salary players. Better to think of it as a PR exercise for your team where your fringe players mingle with the fans, on court.

is this 3 player feature also available in leagues and national tournaments??

if it is then pls remove it. official games and tournaments cant just pick fans as their players. its only ok for scrimmage.

yes it is, but i brings you "nothing" to use it, the lucky fans are really bad and i believe they also help the Engine running ... Because you are eligiable to play with just 2 player in real basketball, but i don't think the engine includes such 2 against 5 plays etc. so they bring up the lucky fans

Who are you to tell a team how many players they use?

He is zOrrO0530 one of many users of BB, and in a way he is right to say what he says. Btw. who has decided that three are allowed and no two? And why didn't they make the limit of regular numbers of players at 4 for a match to be legal? Or 5?

Older than the rest ...
