Nonsense indeed... I'm all for creating more varied commentary, but IMO correction of the numerous commentary bugs should take priority. I long for the days when the commentary was simpler, but at least accurate. Now there are erroneous "double doubles," "can't buy a baskets" and possession changes all over the place.

The double-double messages now work correctly.

In NYDimes' last league game there were 77 rebounds and 11 times when the ball went out of bounds. In my last league game there were 93 rebounds and 6 times when the ball went out of bounds. That's quite a difference than it happening 60% of the time. It is, in fact, a rather neat 10% of the time. In NYD's last cup game the ball was lost out of bounds only 4 times and there were 84 rebounds.

The "can't buy a bucket" is obviously still not working correctly and incredibly frustrating. My guess is that it will be fixed soon.

Once I scored a basket that still makes me laugh.

I like what they're trying to do.. adding to the game viewer.

I actually find it comical when a player of mine makes a basket and is told that he can't buy one. Maybe it's the low low salary I'm providing these cats.

Sounds like a good idea.

Yea me too but at the moment I've gotta emphasize the word 'trying,' because it's just a giant fail so far. In my last league game, my best player had one of his best games, but repeatedly had the can't buy a basket line. Once was after he missed his 3rd shot (I believe he was 10-13 at that point) but the rest of the instances came after he'd made the shot. The erroneous double-doubles are annoying too although in tonight's cup game, the only time I remember seeing that line was after my center did, in fact, record a double-double! +1 to BB's for trying to spice things up but some fixes are needed.

There are popcorn venders near courtside that sell bucket's of popcorn that smells really good.

Some players are always trying to get a freebee, but often the vender says no.

Since the players don't have pockets they usually can't buy a bucket.


^ lol

Anyway, this commentary doesn't bother me too much. It should be fixed, but I can't say it's a big deal to me.
