The other BB's and I have spent a lot of time over the weekend reviewing the situation.

In the end, there is no excusing what happened. While your trust might not have been lost in us (and, for that, we are all truly and deeply appreciative), it is important to us to show how serious a violation we feel this was and how seriously we are taking it.

Anthony will be leaving the BB team and his BB account will remain locked. The players that were affected will be retired from the game as BB-Ryan has described. We will begin searching for a new DBA to take his place immediately.

Anthony has further expressed his deepest apologies for the trouble this situation has caused everyone and for the poor judgment that went into creating the current circumstances.

For what it's worth, you have my personal apology for introducing this mess on top of the current issues we are working through on the site.

No no no, they absolutely need a team to get a feel for the game.
They need to suffer from the coach AI like all of us ! They shouldn't be spared the darkest side of the game. And they need a good humbling spanking on the court once in a while. Plus some of them are slow I have heard, I don't want to give names, well you know the one I am talking about, they wouldn't understand problems correctly without playing the game.

Strong and definitive opinions based on guesses and speculation as per usual...
It's vital devs have a team, every game I remember of, devs have a team, it's essential or they'd be too disconnected from regular users.
Silly solutions to solve minor problems and create major ones.

Hopefully they were the draft picks from rounds 2 and 3.

Well BB-Anthony surely is more probable having (the lowest) buzzerbeater developer potential than all-time great.

this is exactly what i mean... this is how you will very fast loose even loyal customers like me... this was said by a BB and is totally unacceptable...

I don't think I will ever cheat. The day I start cheating will be the day I lose interest in this game (and will probably quit too).


he thinks he will never cheat? he must be 10000000% sure he will never cheat.

"the day i start cheating will be the day I lose interest in this game and will probably (he isnt certain) quit too?"

i read in this only 1 thing that maybe one day he will cheat when he looses interest in this game.

I may have no knowledge about programing, but this is definatelly the way to loose your customers and to loose your business...

Well, i do not know on what conditions you are a BB. Hard to want somebody to quit competitive play, on the other hand it's anybody's choice whether he acept to be A BB or not. As soon as you have access to formulas you should at least abstain from NT things for good. To be clear that should apply to all BBs not you particularly of course.

It's not about cheating at all, but advantage of knowledge of formulas is there.

That gives me an idea... I think BBs should change the lowest potential denomination from "BuzzerBeater Developer" to "BB-Anthony".

I'm pretty curious, what exactly did he think he was doing. Deepest apologies, for what? Being stupid? Getting caught? Did he not know he was misusing your trust blatantly and editing the database for his own gain, is against any companys policy? Was he 13? Did he even know what BB was beforehand?
So many questions and even more come to my mind. What happens if a person becomes BB, he has access to the formulas. If you have vague contracts (in the area of "what happens when you" etc) or dishonest persons. Guys who might leak those formulas to their friends aswell.
Basically this incident has raised a lot of questions. I never thought the community would catch a BB cheating:( That should of been your job. So that's -2 on the new BB team. Not looking so good...

I'm curious, what are the consequences for BB-Antony misconduct, only ban from BB, or real civil suit? Since he's not an USA citizen, what can you do?


judging by history, i'd bet they'll invade his country

Well this things can happen... If you played other online games you would know that this 'isn't something new', the difference here, is that normally in other online games, the cheaters were gamemasters, but not developers.



I suppose BB's will have more care next time when they sign an employee.

It is not so important how high can someone jump, more important is who is the last one standing
