In the end you will probably will want a BB-buzzer to be heard (or a BB-pop-up).


Not really.

Maybe its just me but I have my speakers turned off unless it is absolutely necessary to have sound in order to minimise noise pollution and to conserve electricity. If you're watching a movie or playing a game and there is sound then fair enough, but to have a sound that will only pop up once on the trigger of that event is totally useless to me.

Setting an actual alarm on my phone actually serves better than having a noise that could potentially go off on my computer when speakers are off anyway.


This reminder will be sent several times during an auction, as there are many bidders (usually).


Again, your idea is absurd. As stated previously you only need to be online 5 minutes before the player's scheduled auction is to end. Bidding any earlier is a total waste of time. You will spend maybe 15 minutes at around the near end of the player's deadline but you would be too busy refreshing the player's page every minute or 2 that you won't be doing other things.

As a supporter you can already get an email reminder at a chosen time before an auction ends.

The biggest problem with this suggestion is that there is no continuous connection to buzzerbeater server. Only time the info is sent automatically by server is when you are in the game viewer. If you go idle and get logged out, it would still not work. Why not use a phone alarm or windows clock alarm? Simple and effective.

oh yer, i forgot about this.

It can also be a text message as well? 30 mins before a bookmarked player on the transfer market is sold.

I knew there was a reason why my suggestion sounded so good. Cause its already been implemented. ha. wicked!

Text messages make sound. hmmmm. :)

Make the reminder a text message? Supporter feature only? Charge a premium on the texts.... BuzzerBeater would make a bit of money i reckon?


this one already exist, through email or textmessage.

But i also don't think that a buzzer one minute before expiration(you could take the time, the expiration was when you open the player tab), could be implemented with flash without let BB play automated. The thing is more is it really needed, and there i am in the dark. I tend to say no to myself, but could believe that other people will like that.

I would add that the Earth is flat.


Pretending that it´s not is only to let those lazy physicians and mathematicians don´t have to make all those complex calculations...

The idea is having in as part of the game.
I can use my cellular and there are other ways.

As this can easily be done by an out-of-the-game clock, there is just no reason not to make it a part of the game solution.
