BuzzerBeater Forums

My KEY players, who i trained 2 seasons are roleplayers while there WINNING games, 1 championchip, 1 4thplace en now im up for the championship again and BUZZERBETA calls them role players....

The idea is to identify how the players are being used in league games this season. They're being identified as rotation players (or whatever else) based upon their usage this season in league games. It's not a description of their skills; if you have a very skilled player who isn't playing, he'll have a role corresponding to his lack of playing time.

Which player(s) do you think we are misidentifying? The reason it's called BuzzerBeta is that we're still trying to do a better job of identifying usage (OK, fine, and because it's a good pun).

The MVP award is a reflection of who gets enough league time & because of the cup and the way minutes have to be balanced I just can't see how this feature will help anyone if it is just based again on league minutes.

Any team with cup aspirations may have their best players hardly playing minutes in the league OR at best only playing 1 in 2 (which if they miss 1 game means they fall off the leaderboards for Points, Assists & Rebounds. So you could have your best player now not in contention for the MVP award + showing as back up player if managed by a successful cup team.

Or am I missing something? Why link just to league matches? Why not all competitive games?

Here, I'll take the opportunity to state for the second time how I love this idea that is BuzzerBeta ! It's great news, we are promised new features every now and then and we will test them. It sounds great.

I can't understand all the fuss with the roles. Don't use them if you don't like them. It's not required for your gameplay. Ignore it. It harms none. It does nothing. It's just there for those who think it's fun.

Oh but please continue the criticism, some of the arguments used have so much bad faith in them, it's a sunshine in my cloudy and snowy sky. Thank you BB-managers :)

Devs, you know those who like it won't come and say it, well most of them... People complain, people are conservative, especially the older members ;p People want change and when change comes, they cry foul, they feel unsecure ;p

Keep the new features coming ! We all need a big kick in the ass !

Now to balance things out, I'll come back next week and whine a bit too (on my coach certainly, I hate him, I have always hated him).

Really?! Really? Really. Really?!

Please allow the team time to test out new ideas to help improve the game. What if in the first few seasons, owners freaked out every time a new idea was tested? We wouldn't have this great game.

I say keep working on new ideas and keep making the site better.

I would rather fail at something then succeed at nothing.

Look at some of you getting your knickers in a twist over a feature that isn't even game breaking, but just an cosmetic feature.

Really.

Look at my roster and check Blaise Baets and Bosma

Played almoust every game, made a hughe differance in the competition and are still regular starters while my entire strategy is based upon those players. Baets and Blaise

Dont get me wrong, maybe they played not every game (due to minute management) but they are the key players of my team.
And look at the 4th division......no key players there?

In my eyes, and i played pro basketball in real life for 13 years, every team has a key player, even in the lower leagues and thats whats wrong with this. In your system you created there just looking at the players who played alot and have a high salary but they dont look at the players who are winning the games.

For example out of real life: Take John Paxon Chicago Bulls nummer 5 shooting guard, No one almoust remembers him but he shot the Bulls into 3 different Play offs before Michael Jordan finished it off in those play offs

Because off the fact you just made some big shots the key players and not the real important ones i really have to decline this improvement. Even my player from the Dutch National Team <21 is a role player???

Please explain cause i cant see the relevance in this anymore
