Congrats, that's call scouting

Scouting of a useless draftee that I'll fire in a few days. But I guess you took the first guy available. But again, that's call scouting. That's fricking normal for a manager. In Buzzerbeater and real world sports.

It’s called soft cheating.! Your missing my point,

If manager want to scout ,The game has BB draft and market for that, my team, your team is not the draft to scout,,. It build unfair advantages.

Its many managers who can read DMI. In the real world of. ?? Ok ,What’s is the doctor level of the Ny Yankees , Because the Atl braves don’t know.

Give me your medical report , your bank statements record if we going to bring the real world of to this ,, Let’s be fair , it none of my business.. Same mentality for a team it none anyone business what something cost or what they going through,.

What team players make a week is none of another team business ,nor his age, nor his dmi. Fog it!

Just out of genuine curiosity, what information would you allow to be visible through this “fog of war”?

Hello

Kindly the in-depth is about 5-6 messages back ,no further ,i posted it. It very well versed,.

Thank you

Just out of genuine curiosity, what information would you allow to be visible through this “fog of war”?

Hello

I propose a total privacy mode to eliminate out-of-game financial scouting loopholes

.🛑 The Problem :rival teams currently scout your profile to calculate your exact financial limits and training timelines. This allows them to predict or plan exactly when your team budget will break or your talent bring built..

🛡️ The Solution: Total Privacy Blackout introduce a toggle that completely blocks other managers from viewing your infrastructure and player ages ( they see a name ,they play for you , and that's it.)

Staff Blackout: Rivals see absolutely nothing—no staff names, ages, levels, or roles.

Arena Masking: The arena page shows zero seats to public visitors.Box Score Privacy:( they can't see minutes your player played history )

Post-game, host teams only see their own revenue split. Zero attendance or stadium data from the opponent is leaked, preventing financial calibration.

🏀 Why This Improves the Game,This creates a true "Fog of War." It forces rivals to prepare for your squad on the court, rather than relying on profile scouting to exploit your financial & tactical weaknesses.


I reposted for you. ..becuase you might have missed with the back and forth going on.

Ok What is the doctor level of the Ny Yankees , Because the Atl braves don’t know.

Rough staff level across all Big 4 sports clubs are known. And other teams absolutely known the good and bad staffs regarding coaching staff, medical staff, scouting staff. Thinking those multi billion franchises don't know that and don't actively try to get as much informations as possible is silly.

Name it ? If it across all sports , I kindly as you to name it.. its not known in MLB, or nascar , golf . We may know a name and age and where he studied but you dont his preference levels.. its not open secret ..

Hello.

We going not to agree and it’s not my best look to disagree with everything you post.? You’re a valued poster, So out of respect ,one last time .

Your team game-shape and DMi, age ,salary, Level of your team doctor ,area # seats ,is none of anyone business .

Fog it!, if they want to scout, the point per game and rating of the team, the draft, In the league is enough, A team player game-shape , salary ,age. Level of doctor is none of anyone business , its too sensitive. Especially game-shape and DMi

Who the player plays for his name , his stats is enough.

As a compromise, I wouldn’t mind if arena seat ticket prices were hidden. That should not be public knowledge and I honestly use other managers prices to help set my prices. I can find some common ground here and I believe this addresses your main concern.

DMI is mostly affected by gameshape, so if you want to hide that too, sure.

Age and salary are public knowledge in every major sports organization, and is crucial in scouting. Scouting is not soft cheating, it’s what well informed managers do. Not having any idea about a team’s skill level would handicap a managers ability to set lineups, plan minutes, and most damaging - would reduce the fun in winning a match you feel you are an underdog in. Good planning and scouting is how undermanned managers maximize their possibility to earn an upset. Hiding this info

Also am I missing something? Where you are able to see a teams staff levels?!?

For the sake of realism, ticket prices are the most public numbers there can be in the sport of basketball... Hide DMI if you want, I could not care less ngl.

staff level seen. Is. Fogged, .. I don’t think we should be able to see age. But understand we have to find common ground

. I think manager should scouts ur player/team stats. Play style only . I think this is a training game and the mental aspect of the unknown should be maximized , When you play a cup team, you look at the team. You see they play run & gun -3-2 zone. You look a the team ratings, etc etc. who’s the best scorer. To me that scouting .

Seeing every aspect of person team. Is “data mining”( soft cheating”) , age and salary shown kinda tough deal knowing ,I could get exp and higher salary..

I’ll give age up showing but not salary . But a great. Comprise is making it all optional on the mangers behalf to choose.to their delight.

And thank you
