BuzzerBeater Forums

I don't know about you, but I think that's stupid.

it's stupid as it may sound, but it's not the developer's fault. one of BuzzerBeater's aim here is to produce a scrub of people to managers and make them into winners... if one manager wants to train a five footer into a colossal rebounder, it's his choice, not BB's...

And you know what else, I might be completely wrong on this too, but I think I'm not the only one who feels that way. 7'2" center should have rebounding advantage over 5'6" center. As a matter of fact, there should be no 5'6" centers in the game, period.

When I was still learning the game, I feel your inputs here, because i was thinking the same way before... but when you think through again, you will see that there is no way that a taller player can have advantage in rebounding in game to the small player if they have same skills. Why? because they have the same skills. The taller guy can have an advantage over the shorter player in training, wherein taller players develop faster in big man skills than the shorter guys.

If one manager wants to train a smaller guys rebounding, it's his choice, it make take him longer to train than taller players, but if it's still his choice, then that would be ok, right? Now, how can you have a problem with that, when in the first place, the site encourages the managers to train anyone in their newly created team in their own freedom?

This is what i understand in the logic of that issue, so it's fair for me to say that yeah, a 5'6 player can rebound as good as a 7'5 center, provided that both players have equal skill levels

that reasoning is valid only because BB is not considering height in that equation.

That is not the case... for example, (let's use the rebounding skill in this example) the NBA now is composed of tall, quick players, and in 1991-1992 season, Dennis Rodman (Height:6'8) leads the league in rebounds (averaged 18 rebounds per game) infested with players who are bigger than him (Robinson, Ewing, Olajuwon, Mourning, and Mutombo to name a few)

Now, why is this possible, maybe because that Rodman may have a better rebounding skill level than the others, and thus, makes him legit to be better in spite with his height.

Another example, a 6 footer player who seldom plays basketball can be out-rebounded by a five-footer player who is a veteran at the game... most especially if he is skilled at boxing out a player.

It is usual that big men rebounds well other than smaller players. But with better training, and if the smaller player out-trains the bigger player, he has a good chance in the ball, because for me, it's all about the skills, not the height.

And also, I don't see any 5 footer players here in BB who are good in rebounding and out-rebounds bigger players, and even though there is one, the credit is in the manager who trains him, not the player itself :)

And surely there is a very few players like that to make that a rule, but it's alright. I understand your point and in general, I agree with your points of view, so there is no need to continue this discussion. Besides, I'm kindly advised to stop posting here, too, so, I guess, this would be the end of the road. Farewell, my friend. Thank you for being normal and all the best. Same to Coach Bob and all the people of good will.
