The double-double messages now work correctly.

In NYDimes' last league game there were 77 rebounds and 11 times when the ball went out of bounds. In my last league game there were 93 rebounds and 6 times when the ball went out of bounds. That's quite a difference than it happening 60% of the time. It is, in fact, a rather neat 10% of the time. In NYD's last cup game the ball was lost out of bounds only 4 times and there were 84 rebounds.

The "can't buy a bucket" is obviously still not working correctly and incredibly frustrating. My guess is that it will be fixed soon.

Once I scored a basket that still makes me laugh.

I like what they're trying to do.. adding to the game viewer.

I actually find it comical when a player of mine makes a basket and is told that he can't buy one. Maybe it's the low low salary I'm providing these cats.

Yea me too but at the moment I've gotta emphasize the word 'trying,' because it's just a giant fail so far. In my last league game, my best player had one of his best games, but repeatedly had the can't buy a basket line. Once was after he missed his 3rd shot (I believe he was 10-13 at that point) but the rest of the instances came after he'd made the shot. The erroneous double-doubles are annoying too although in tonight's cup game, the only time I remember seeing that line was after my center did, in fact, record a double-double! +1 to BB's for trying to spice things up but some fixes are needed.

There are popcorn venders near courtside that sell bucket's of popcorn that smells really good.

Some players are always trying to get a freebee, but often the vender says no.

Since the players don't have pockets they usually can't buy a bucket.


^ lol

Anyway, this commentary doesn't bother me too much. It should be fixed, but I can't say it's a big deal to me.

Personally I think all the fuss is hilarious.

In general developments and attempted to enrich user experiences are appreciated by the users. And I'm sure most of us appreciate the efforts the BB's are putting into the game, making BB better than it is.

One of the reasons I've purchased supporter and extended it is because the game is fun and still getting interesting and great updates. Plus the developers actually mingle with us in the forums and look for our feed back.

Plus, it's a fun, cool past time / hobby to look at during breaks at work or when I'm resting up at home.

When there are new patches and new items on the game, obviously there will be issues in the beginning.

Its not like they aren't aware of it.

Its not like they're not working on it.

So does all the additional unnecessary and repeated whining and ranting on the boards really fulfill anything at all?

My only point of dissatisfaction is the way they are running their facebook page. :P

Some one should moderate and update it regularly. Otherwise there's no real point of having social media that's just a ground for people to post 'BUY ME PLAYA NAO!' or 'BB SUX SERVER IS DOWN 20 SECONDS NOW!'

But that's a marketing issue. And doesn't concern me as user / player... jus irritates me a lil thats all. :P

They should give us the most annoying comment ''If you don't like this, you don't like BB basketball.''
