BuzzerBeater Forums

I think that many comments about player always mean that it could be somehow interresting to get him, no matter how rude comments would that mean. Dont be so negative.

on the interesting players this might be the case.

but how about this one:
someone places an ad on a player which highest skill is inept, and he has more atrociouses then any other kind.
The ad says this player is a div I competitor for almost every country and he sure will hit at least a double double every game.
about 250 reactions come to the add that it is rubbish.

In your theory, only because he got 250 reactions, this player is interesting to you?...

don't think it works that way.

But about me being negative as you say, let me try to explain myself better, again with an example
Someone has a decent player on the TL and makes an ad to praise him. Let's asume it is a SF, with low handling and medium passing. As SF's (to me) mostly need JS, both defenses and rebounding, and then a good portion of all the rest too to make him good, I might comment that he will need some training on handling and maybe passing in order to make him into a better player then he is now.
I post this to help the potential buyer decide if either he wants the player as he is, but face the consequences of turnovers, or will need to give him some training in order to make him a very good player.
The seller however sees this as if I try to critisise his player, and tell the world it is a bad one because his handling is too low.
This is exactly the best start for irritated users, unhappy users, and even flaming wars...
And it is therefor I posted I think it would be dangerous to implement it.
I'm not trying to be negative, I just try to look ahead and imagine what can happen, or is likely to happen, if a suggestion indeed would get implemented. I do this with every suggestion. ;)

This is exactly the best start for irritated users, unhappy users, and even flaming wars...

for flaming wars you have to see the same ad twice, so there will be no discussions :) But i also don't like it, you see the skills in the ad.

Well now I can understand what is ment to be a "transfer ad", it is that green typing thing. This is pretty much useless, indeed. Also you convinced me that it wouldnt be very progressive to have it that way.

However I thought about it and such thing could be done by different way. There are lot of users which mostly doesnt know what they are buying because of lacking some experiences. I think that would be great to have in buzzerbeater a place (not like a forum), where would be presented players which need a comment.

So this user would click into a button on transfer list and that player would occur on that place. He should (not as option) fill the form by clicking another buttons like "desired position: "PF"; starter/backup: "starter"; traning prospect/finished player: "training prospect 3 seasons"" etc. Something like that.

So if you would watch such page, you would have quick idea about why this manager want to bid on him for such price, and could comment his intentions.
