As someone said and in my opinion the presentation to be honest is really awfull(dont wanna hurt you with that) it makes it so complicate, you have to spend much time to try to get how it works and at the end you finish closing it.


Anyway good job

The coachParrot tool has been available for one week and was downloaded 845 times, a penetration rate of 1.75% - while this is good, I am afraid it also means that the tool hasn't reached its ultimate target audience of relatively new managers (yet). The most downloads went to these country-IPs:
USA 210 unique visitors 7,1% of users
España 148 unique visitors 2,6% of users
Deutschland 101 unique visitors 8,2% of users
Italia 60 unique visitors 1,3% of users
Rossiya 51 unique visitors 8,4% of users
Polska 35 unique visitors 1,1% of users
Portugal 30 unique visitors 1,6% of users
England 26 unique visitors 4,6% of users
Hellas 25 unique visitors 1,1% of users
Türkiye 21 unique visitors 1,7% of users
France 14 unique visitors 0,6% of users

Again thanks to ebustelo and seelenjaeger who clearly made a difference for the Spanish and German language communities. I'm not going to run much of a marketing campaign beyond this thread (maybe this post is too much already), but I'd be curious for suggestions how to improve the ease of use in future versions - although there are limits to what is possible in a spreadsheet without macros. Most importantly, I hope that those who downloaded this are having some fun - thanks for the nice messages I've received.

210+148+101+60+51+35+30+26+25+21+14+12+11+10+10+8=772
845-772=73------- where are they?and where is unique visitors from Moldova? :-))) (just kidding:))

p.s.thank you for this awesome tool!!!!you made a titanic effort to develop this tool:)
thanks one more time:)

can you please check the sheet number 2-ChoachParrot, because when I select the defensive tactic 3:2 or 1:3:1 ,something goes wrong and all calculations appear as #######
or something is wrong just in my file?
thanks.

thanks, right now works perfectly!!!

automatic lineups- I'll thinks about this. if users wouldn't have to do anything by themselves, this might not be very instructive...

I think the most succesful tools in Hattrick are those which are able to set your line-up automatically. And the most frequent question in the spanish help forum is about the existence of some of these HT tools in BuzzerBeater.
It will not be very instructive, of course, but:
- It will make easier to start playing BB, and less people would give up after the first two matches.
- It will open BB to people who just want to spend 5 min of their time on this game, so more users, less instructed, but more users, and that is good for BB.
- People who only use this automated tool would be as successful in BB as those users who only try to get better ratings than the opponent... So finally, if you want to win matches you will need to do something else in the higher divisions because the connection between ratings and match outcome is not as straighforward as in other online games.

khm.. light version is an interesting idea..

Thank you very much Josef!
Now will take some time to use it and understand all of that stuff, but it's a big project.
I like the "open source philosophy", that I think it's behind it all, too, and I hope it will remain in the future, because surely this thing it's going to grow and improve.

It's a great job you've done. Thanks!

First off, thanks for the great effort you put in!

I agree to some of the suggestions regarding the "ease of use" if the CP is to appeal to new BB-users. Adding some features like (my apologies for those already mentioned before):

- best lineup (based on selected strategies)
- best lineup (to exploit opponents expected strategies/ratings - these are often predictable for new teams)
- tips on squad weaknesses (where to strengthen first)
- tips on which to let go (expendable because of depth, lack of skill, etc)

...would possibly gain you a lot of users that would grow more advanced with time. Since this is open source, I guess this is doable for about "anyone" by adding extra sheets based on your work.

Thanks again!
