BuzzerBeater Forums

Rather than let people blindly train someone for weeks and weeks to notice he isnt getting pops because he has reached cap, implement some sort of progress % bar to let at least supporters know when to stop training, or how much training there is left. Similiar to the progress bar of skill pops for supporters.

Im sure people have mentioned this before though.

On the bright side, itll encourage more people to become supporters.

And the weekly threads of "did he cap yet? how much longer? Is cap based on skill points or salary?" plethora of threads will stop.

You want a game where the supporters know when a player is capped and the non-supporters train blindly in the dark? I have something for you:
(http://grid-iron.org/)

I think we should be able to get player reports once in a while (costs 25k?) where the trainer tells you more or less exactly what the situation for the player is...

"Player X has still much potential to improve"
"Player X should be able to improve in some skills"
"Player X can't be developed further"

This can't be a supporter feature as this would provide an advantage to supporters.

This would be a good feature to have if it was available to everybody. However, I think the cost should be 250k, not 25k.

I think it should be free. There are really lot of managers which doesnt know anything about anything. These short tips could be usefull for everybody, while indeed, some knowledges and deduce will provide you even better.

But the report like that should be limited differently than by the money. I think that if you could specify this kind of request every week (otherwise it will be on random player), it can be good enough.

This could be not only about training. Imagine that you have a player 29 years old. Such a report could tell you that he looks like he will fall down on some skills after few seasons. Or perhaps tell you that he isnt 100 percently settled at SG postition and you should reconsider some tactical decisions.

I dont know, possibilities are endless.

The cap is a soft cap, so technically you just keep training with diminished returns, right?

Check out the Ismael Grubbs guy...totally over-trained past his soft cap. I guess the owner didn't understand that player skills were capped. :-)

His owner isn't that, uh, bright.

It's a theri fault,you should not help them.There are the Help forums if the users want to learn the game

There are various types of people out there in various situations. I dont find as suprise that someone just want to play a game and pretty much doesnt want to talk about it, because most of the time it is about killing a lot of time, decryption of thoughts of other people and so on. I was in a similar situation, because once I played hattrick, I didnt know for a year about that there is any forum and in fact found it kind of weird that people share theirs emotions by this way.

One way or another, I think this site is about game in a first place, not about forum with a game.

dude you are kidding right?

How do you think to play well the game,if you don't try to know something about it?
And if you don't want to play well the game,why do you want to play?

you do know that anyone with potential allstar* is not the same as potential allstar?

i don't know it, and it don't make any sense to my especially because my allstar* player cap at allstar level and that the most allstars ain't above allstar level when introduce and if yes just slightly above.
