Like I said I didn't misplace or devalue level of competition, That may be good for your team #of fouls per big man and the for the league , but starters are suppose to foul maybe 1~2 for center. A superior team only create fouls (FT).. maybe they didn't create them right. I cant say I don't know the career of all players. I have to go by what you say.

There is no offensive foul/defensive foul stats on BB. you just have to watch games and log this info down when it occurs, which I have done to create improvement on the team and player,. FT is very important. More than most think.

No ,you cant train the whole team , i agree but on the lowest level its possible to train things somewhat to improve them. Like sb. I do it on guards . inside defense is harder to train on guards imo

Wouldnt ID and SB be just as hard to train as they both are done in the C position?


No, it's harder to train ID for guards because pressure training trains ID as a secondary skill and so they'll have higher ID and therefore the ID will train slower. It's that high skill tax again.

Train to tactics it more better than just training positional's out right, save a lot money as well. Like you showed me , you don't need 100k a wk pait pf to be effective in it, he can be 65-70k if his skill are right for pait. Also you win on the highest level with him. It about being cost effective, some tactic cost less in position than the next., I don't call it training. I call it tactical preparation.

Yes of course I could. I don't have to worry about money on BB, I worry about tactical performance.

Btw I don't think Id and sb are hard to train on big men, more than guards. You have the right number to start with let sb 5~7 is a good starting number you have for 18-!9. Id can be cross popped. So it take supporters to enhance that spread sheet to catch things. You would have neglect shooting mostly. I think it s good deal to sacrifice.

yes to start, I think 8,900~10k is more realistic as well, also check my last game. I beat LI with 2-3 zone and pait. He didn't expect that. neither did I, save this game.

im research it tommarrow

First and foremost...I love this game! I will continue playing it until it exists no longer...although I hope that day never arrives. But because it is increasingly looking a possibility I thought I'd create this thread.

This is a thread for several purposes:

1. To engage users on the topic question
2. Bring the opinions of users to BB's attention
3. Maybe, just maybe, find some avenues for rejuvenating BB

BB once had 60k+ users and is, as of today, less than half of that! I have been playing since Season 14 and have watched a steady downward curve in the number of BB users.


TOPIC QUESTION: Why is BB dying a slow death?

Why is BB dying a slow death?


The numbers are still declining and like 40 of those 99 countries have less than 20 managers. We are reaching a point where we have arounf 30% of the peak userbase, thats a huge loss.

My center is what 5k. No gdp ,no gs training has not played this season much. A 74k c vs 5k center. does that matter. 2-3 zone matter is what matter

Same stamina to be exact.

Don't make excuse for him and speak for him when you don't even talk to him or know him. Its rude and shows a form of jealousy. which is team is better. His team is better weather he logs in or not..

The point is 2-3 zone worked. Show me a game you won using 2-3z vs low post /li. You cant. So much for you argument.
