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.

Are you planning to make the TL more accessible, and hence the game more fair, and not related upon the extra time and its flexibleness that some of the users have.

Do you plan limiting the affect of the TL on the performance of teams on the field? Making it less about being an agent, and more about being a manager?

Currently those who have more spare time can get much better deals at the TLs.
Do you plan making something like "semi-automatic auction system" that will allow all users to put starting price and maximum price, and after that automatic part ends, any live auction could be set?

In addition, do you plan to limit the values that one can get on a TL deal, upon estimated player value.
Meaning - currently one can try and get much more on a player than that's player worth.
This can happen here due to the less experienced users.
On the real world, the value on those kind of deals it is limited to a very narrow area.
This makes the game (once again) more about TL and less about any other aspect of this great game.
