Tanking is a scheme that is widely used.
Fans (on the "real world") expecting their team to use a large percentage of their money for having as much achievements.
Does this is being defined in the Audience and Merchandising calculations?

Meaning - is the fans expectations and survey takes into its accounts factors like the team's value (Arena size, Players' value, amount of cash in the bank)?
If not, is it being planned to be changed, and if not... why not?

Will we ever be able to see career stats for all our players rather than just the players we place in the Hall of Fame? Obviously the data is available, why cant we have a career stats section, Im sure many people would love to know who their teams all time leading scorer is.

There are a lot of discussion on the forums, that form speculative statistical analysis about how the game works.

Examples are Game shape, the Potential cap based on skill set, and even smaller studies done on fouling frequency vs skills etc.

So my question is, do the BB's have any plans to formalise any analysis that has been done as official game manual instructions/definitions?
Or to a lesser extent, are there plans to (including in the future) confirm/deny any statistical work done by the users on particular topics?

eg: user discovers statistical relationship between FT% and players hair colour - BB team can officially come out and confirm that this is in fact a fallacy.

Thanks guys!

A question regarding gameshape:
Do you calculate gameshape by the minutes played in a single week or do you take more than a single week to calculate gameshape?

Arena fullness affect.

As far as I understand, the Arena fullness is limited around the 20K seats.
Is it true?

In case it does, there is a big difference between income of filling 20K seats of "Bleachers" (will gain 5-15$ per seat) and filling "Luxury Boxes" (that will gain about 400-600$ per seat). [The exact value is not that important but the order of magnitude is.

Due to that, what will happen in case of continuing to build only "Luxury Boxes" from that time?
Is it ensured that those limit of 20K seats will first fill those expensive seats?

[Another option is to allow "Reconstruction", "Moving to a new Arena" or "replacing the usage of a seat from one type of seat to another". Of course it will cost...]

Injuries and aging affect.

Will we see a rarely (but an existing) scenario in the "real" BB world of a drastic affecting injuries - on skills and even on being able to return to play BB?

In addition, would you add a functionality that will define a player as retired by Age?
Meaning, the player decided that he is done/"to old"/"bored" and decided to end his career?

At least two of your questions can be found by searching the forums or reading the game manual. The more inane questions asked by people just wishing to see their names in print, the less time the developers will have in responding to questions of value.

Once I scored a basket that still makes me laugh.

Why aren't Mods recognized as part of the staff? Im not asking for free supporter(although thatd be nice ;) ), but maybe a mention in the staff page would be nice. I know I would not even notice this if I did not become a Mod myself, but its still a question I have.
