Hey,
I am looking for a BB response here.
Just wondering how much code, or how hard is it to change the minimum number of teams required for a PL?
Would it be easy to change the minimum teams required to 2?
I think this would be absolutely fantastic if you could change this easily!
I always want to challenge someone to a match (especially friends) to see whose team is stronger, but have to join a larger PL to do so even though I may not want to play the others.

To everybody: Please don't say that this can be done in a scrimmage because it can't be done without ruining your minutes for gameshape.

I thought it was closed because this thread was open. :S if not, sorry.

Forum rules are at (1592.1). Note the rules about not bumping threads. Opening a new thread because you can't search to find the one you wanted to bump probably qualifies as even worse.

In any case, this is the suggestions forum. Stay on topic, please.

My 10 cents on this:

1: These are visual cues. Makes live a little easier, so...I support this suggestion

2: Why would you want this? My xxxx is better/larger then your xxxx? I don't support this

3: Basketball is a Team game, so the whole team is to blame when an opponent scores. This goes for your suggestion no.2 as well, btw. Again, I don't support this.

4: Makes live easier. I think Arena price and attendance information is one way to get better intel then your competitors. If you're willing to spend more time by checking on their arena prices and attendence, you can get a feel for ther income. More info means better decisions. Posting the info in the Arena page would allow everyone to get this info easily. Are you sure you want to share all this info with your competitors? I don't support this suggestion

5: This would indeed benefit Playoff/Relegation Teams. But it would be a realistic change. I support it. Maybe we could offset the benefits a bit by allowing teams no longer participating to have scrimmages where the ticket sales are spread between both teams. The attendance would off course be not as high as with playoff games, but at least they would get some income (which would be realistic as well).

6: I support this totally

7: I support this one as well

In regards to number 3, perhaps the coloumn could indicate how many points were scored while the player was on the court by both teams as a +/-. So if the player played 20 minutes, and during that 20 minutes my team scored 30 and their team scored 14 then it would show as +16.

That way you get an idea of how useful the player is, and it represents the team as well.

In regards to number 4, perhaps the information would only be visible to that team. So I would be able to see the info for my team but not for yours.

In regards to number 7, it isn't about cutting off the date exactly. Lets say that I know I will have 1 million dollars tomorrow night (after my game). I should be able to set the search to exclude results before that point in time.

Also, lets say I wish to save my search so that those types of results appear on the Manage My Team page. If I don't set a time limit (eg. Players listed in the next 6 hours), then quite often the player shown on the manage my team page is a player with really good skills and really expensive salary that is going to sell for millions. But it is shown on my page because the initial listing price is 1k and the auction doesn't end for another 3 days so the price is low, even though I know that when he sells it will be for way more than I have. If I can set a time limit, then it will exclude players like this from my Manage My Team page.

Make sense?

Both good additions to your original suggestions.

Maybe you can change your original post to reflect these changes?

Done
