Have you ever played Football Manager? It's 100x more complex than BuzzerBeater and is one of the best selling, most successful and popular sports management games in history. That's because the game is so deep.

Do you make a difference between an online game that flows in real time, and a single-player computer game? Apparently not.

no i didn't but sometimes simplicity makes thinks more deeper, mintue management, scouting your opponent gets more complex with your proposol but easier or senseless but things don't make it deeper but they also make it more complicated to get in.

And betwenn an offline management game and a online one there are some differences.

So basically what you're saying is that online games should be less deep?

I am saying that you cannot Save and Exit out of BB and come back to it when you feel like it, for example.

Yeah, but Football Manager is also online, is what you seem to be forgetting.

Without question, Potential, age and value are pretty much all I search for, being able to just say "all-time great" would be better...though it may cause some bargains to not be such bargains. This one seems easy to do too.

Shall we see how quickly Football Manager Live surpasses the userbase of BB... I know difficult to compare but the point that I have read in the discussion between you and Zazen is that he is asking for a bit more tactical diversity and you are all saying it has enough.

The fact is that the rule changes that helped the pure tacticians of the BB world were not tactical changes. Eliminating daytrading and adding taxes has helped tacticians as opposed to players like me who just try to own better players and hope the game engine favours me. Now I have to think about the tactical element of the game more. If it is more indepth I will surely struggle BUT the additional that is being suggested would still need to be juggled correctly to balance training minutes.

I would argue its easier to get players close to 48mins with the current system.. with new orders each quarter achieving the magic 48mins for each player is surely likely to become more difficult and therefore not give managers like this an advantage?
