\I'm sorry if this appeared in this thread or anywhere else... everything is very blurry to me- hopefully
when I get my glasses it will be better.

Is anything in the works for:

* Visiting teams receiving a % of gate receipts.
* Trading within your league.

Thanks,

If I wanted to play rock-paper-scissors, if I wanted to play a game of pure chance, I would do so instead of playing BuzzerBeater.
Something like that has no place in a game where it takes you multiple years to train players and improve your team.
There's already a lot of chance involved and you could lose a season's effort in one unlucky game, now you're pretty much guaranteed to lose a close game if you guess wrong (wrong tactics+bonus) ?
I don't like it. That's not fun.


If you're facing an opponent who does multiple things, you already should be setting a lineup based on which one of their approaches they're going to take, unless you're one of those who puts out the exact same lineups, exact same tactics, regardless of your opponent. If that's the case, you're kind of in the group of people this change is targeted to effect - and as someone playing Princeton/M2M almost exclusively (albeit with different alignments of my players), so am I in a way. So we can look and see is it good for the game as a whole to reward people for not playing cookie cutters and autotactics? Yes, it is, so while it may inconvenience me, I'm encouraged that it's still a change for the better.

For example~
If you predict an LI, you can play 2-3 to stop it. However you will not get a pressure penalty. You will pressure the ball just as much and you will get the inside D and rebound bonus too...However if the opponent plays some other tactic, you will get the normal pressure penalty. Like if they opponent ran a motion...you'd still get killed.


Yes, yes, one million times yes.

I really like the predicting option. In real life professional teams would study their next opponent watching many hours of tape, have coaches and assistants list down and give briefings on different player's tendency, how the tactic develops, rotations, special picks and plays.

Shouldn't defensive tactics exist for that already? The probelm is that defensive tactics other than M2M often don't work,and because LI is the dominant offensive tactic, BBs decided to pull out this kind of trick instead of developping the game engine to make all the tactics actually available work properly

Ten days old thread from the Help forum, no I can't. Marin did not say it on forums, altough he confirmed it to at least three people and there has been a bit of a stir on a thread in the Help forum when said.

So you'll have to believe me, I can't do more.

Either BB-Marin made a mistake or there has been a bug in German Bundesliga: (http://www.buzzerbeater.com/league/212/draftSummary.aspx) and (http://www.buzzerbeater.com/league/212/overview.aspx?seas...)
Rucker Squad got the 6th pick but if the rule had been applied he should have drafted 10th.

Good to see Jump Range not costing an arm and a leg anymore. Hopefully this will translate to a more realistic % of 3 pointers being made in a few seasons time in the top leagues, as people start training up more 3 point specialists.
