BuzzerBeater Forums

Questions:
Mod-Ballin: Any plans with the forums? As in changing any designs, layouts, adding some things. (208622.2)
Mzungu77: The 2-3 zone is perhaps the most controversial aspect of the game play. Can you explain how it is meant to work from your perspective? If possible, could you elaborate on the ideal skillset for players running a 2-3 zone? (208622.3)
Petrus Magnus: Have you ever considered the idea of extending the best-of-3 format to all play-off games? (208622.5)
GM-CracyEye: Are there other hidden attributes then physicality? Who are the free defenders in the box and one defences? (208622.8)
Coach D: Is there any curently work involving new GE.Or algorithm involving game sim or new wightning in skill ? Is the price of JR and SB reasonable? (208622.9)
yiannis paros: you have put Player Salaries Floor.. why don't you put Player Salaries Ceiling? (208622.11)
Murl: I read some where that manager believe that "Lucky fans" are displaying some advantage over regular players. Is that true or imaginary? Also why do manager have to pay salary for fired staff members twice(update and severance fee) instead of a 2 week notice for the staff member in question? (208622.13)
SREZ: Is SB worth the salary on bigs and useful on guards? Are their advantages (or disadvantages) that we do not already know about? (208622.14)
Coach Regan: What are BB's ideas for the on-going detection, management and dealing of cheaters in this great game? (208622.16)
Sidi Knecht: What are your short and long term plans for the game? (208622.17) Are there any plans to release BB apps in the near future? (208622.39)
Prof. Bricks: please explain why someone is allowed to not put any players in a lineup and forfeit the game (208622.18)
Thabo91: Why are the top salaries so high that nobody can afford them and thus the best players are cheaper than just good players? Is that the BB's opinion how a market should work? (208622.20)
Biffo: some clarifications about BoA defences: The best player/scorer is guarded M2M. How is "the best" calculated? Before the match or during the match? If before the match, what are the parameters...? Salary? Season average? Others? If during the match I guess that "the best" to guard could change over time. The "fifth player" is used to defend M2M. Who is the "fifth man"? The best (outside/inside) defender? Or just the player set in the same position as the opposite "best player"? (eg. the best opposite team's player is a PF... your M2M defender is your PF no matter what?). Is the "fifth man" fixed or changes over time? Why didn't you designed the system to allow managers (us) to decide which man (or position) to guard and which man to use in M2M defence? (208622.21)
Pini: What is planned to be done in order of improving this game competitiveness? A hard Salary-Cap? A soft Salary-Cap with a Luxury-tax? A tax on any amount that in the bank, the tax is by a growing percentage? (208622.25)
LA-Korperboy: Can you give us a bit of insight into your future plans so we can be sure this game won't vanish in 1-2 year's time? Planning 8 seasons ahead is two years exactly; I know you aren't fortune tellers, but you probably have also long-term plans. (208622.27)
Grullo and Pini: are there any plannning for all those countries who has less than 20 users? (208622.28) and (208622.30)
GC 30 Why do teams benefit so much more in terms of profit when they win away matches and lose home games instead of the other way around? Do you plan on changing the home court advantadge, or do you think it's good the way it is now? (208622.29)

Coco: Charles used to say that one of the design principles of the game was that there shouldn't be a dominant strategy. (1) If the BB's think that LI is now a dominant strategy, what is being done to steer the game away from it? (2) If they think it's not, what standard must be met to prove the claim that some strategy is dominant? (208622.31)
Marot: Are you planning a change about play-off incomes or thinking about different ways to encourage the teams to compete instead of doing a stand by? I always have read BB-Charles saying they were trying to find an equilibrium on the market(when we had a high inflation on the prices) now we have the opposite, do you plan a change on this area? For example, stopping the introduce of free agents? (208622.37)
PeterBr: Will we ever be able to see career stats for all our players rather than just the players we place in the Hall of Fame? (208622.41)
Coach Regan: do the BB's have any plans to formalise any analysis that has been done as official game manual instructions/definitions? Or to a lesser extent, are there plans to (including in the future) confirm/deny any statistical work done by the users on particular topics? (208622.42)
Karangula: Do you calculate gameshape by the minutes played in a single week or do you take more than a single week to calculate gameshape? (208622.43)
Mod-Bballin: Why aren't Mods recognized as part of the staff? Im not asking for free supporter(although thatd be nice ;) ), but maybe a mention in the staff page would be nice (208622.48)
Chekreyes: do the BB's plan on hiring any new members to help either with the much requested superficial artwork improvements or with public relations in the forums? (208622.55)
RazorSharp: What is being done to attract new users to this game? (208622.57)
profit007: What do you think about teams that win titles while using their saved money to pay excessive salaries? (208622.63)
grullo: When a bench player subs an injured one, he makes his own numbers or he makes the numbers that would be done by the injured if he would have stayed in court?? (208622.69)
Burninator: Are there any plans on changing the salary formula and what is weighted more heavily (208622.74)
Karangula: Did you make some changes in patient-offense? Before intruoducing these Isolation tactics, patient offense seemed to work differently. I still suspect you mixed up patient and outside isolation. (208622.77)
Biffo: is there any chance to see implemented triggers? An option for garbage time would be just an example of this. (208622.83)
MrKid: Could you tell us what are the most important suggestions for the last 6 months that have been taken into account and you are working on it, apart from the creation of this thread? (208622.85)
Xsago: What is the impact of season ticket holders? Do all teams in a single BB country weigh in on the calculated minimum salary (and consequently the TV rights) or only the teams playing in the division? Is it possible to "manage" which additional skill will be trained via cross-training? For example if you have a player with one skill that is much lower than the others, will that skill receive the cross training portion each week? (208622.87)
Newton07 are you guys happy with the current situation? this question refers to the game's economy.
whitemaggot: why don't you add stuff like Salary estimation to the players page under there current salary for the season. In the game Manual why don't you give better in depth explanations on skills? (208622.93)
Mod-Bballin: Is the way HCA determined for World Championships going to change? (208622.99)
grullo: have we got any chance of seeing modified fans survey? (208622.100)

I have some question for it:

1. Are there other hidden attributes then physicality?

Like the "riskiness" of a player.

2. Who are the free defenders in the box and one defences?

-1 Is there any curently work involving new GE.Or algorithm involving game sim or new wightning in skill
Clarification: I'm Not asking about anything specifically this ,next or 5 seasons ahead.Just Yes or NO will do the trick so we can have it in mind
-2 Is the price of JR and SB reasonable.
Again Yes or No no Specifics.
