BuzzerBeater Forums

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!
