BuzzerBeater Forums

There are a few possible explanations to this:
1. Club/National Team legends and once great players (for instance, this manager (56221) is collecting former Poland NT players). This is also used by some non-Supporter teams who don't have access to Hall of Fame.
2. Scrimmage fodder (just like you said), players who are supposed to fill up scrimmage roster, although most teams just buy random players for 1000 $ on Thursdays to fill up the roster, and then fire them.
3. Teams who set BuzzerBeater all-time records through staged scrimmages/private league games where they use very old players, prime example of this is Milwaukee Lethargy (23424).
4. In exceptionally rare cases, managers who want to quit buy several players to go bankrupt and become bot. An extreme example of this is old Shrewsbury Honeybadgers (23572), check their transfer history ;-).

When should you go "take it easy"? Only against teams you outclassed? What's the penalty if you go "take it easy" and lose? After all star break my enthusiasm tanked to "ready" for some reason and I haven't been able to build it back up.

Hi!
From my experience, I can also add that you can play TIE a few times at the beginning of the season to load up enthusiasm, even at the cost of 1-2 wins (there doesn't seem to be an extra penalty if you lose with TIE, the fans get mad anyway) in order to prepare for the rest of the season. At enthusiasm 8 (eager) it sort of becomes a self-fueling machine because the team performance improves heavily and you can play TIE more often and still win. If you don't feel comfortable throwing a game or two early in the season, at the least you ought to play TIE in games against bots, especially in cup games, as they can help you load up enthusiasm early in the season.

Hi guys. I think you all know about an excel file tool, that kind of predicts your ratings and performance depending on your choice of lineup. There you can select offenses and defenses, but there are not Isolation offenses and defenses included. Does this mean that since those offenses are known as neutral, if i chose i.e. Outside Iso I should choose Base offense? Does this mean that the ratings will be same for Base offense and Outside Iso? And same refers to Iso defenses, choosing 1-1 means that the ratings would be the same for i.e. Outside Box and 1? Hope my question is clear enough :)

Thank you both for the very detailed answers! This helps a lot.

I have a simple question! Why did my player Felipe Susa got exhausted today ??????????

I selected the team like this, as I did many times in this season.

Guergue............Arribas...........Burres
Relinque............Burres...........Arribas
Mckenna............Burres...........Arribas
Woydila..............Arribas..........Burres
Susa..................Arribas...........Burres

+ 8th player Lipp was in the team because of this situations. Earier he used to play 1 minute or 2 to avoid exhaustion of other players but usually this 7 players were enough for that. I used Burres in 3 positions, and Arribas in 2 it is the only difference compared with today. I even firstly selected one more player for the bench and in the last moment I decided to change it. I selected him in the first moment because of this, I wanted to AVOID POTENTIAL EXHAUSTION. But I thought it is enough to have Lipp.

But no, Susa got Exhausted and I LOST 8 MILION NERVES FOLLOWING IT..... Ok maybe it was good sign for me, maybe it was final sign by GE that I won a game but why this should happen????

At the end of the 3rd quarted Susa and Guergue played 32 minutes, Mckenna 31, and they were in danger of exhaustion. I was ok, Lipp entered the court in the last 11 seconds of 3rd quarted and he will stay for 30 seconds or 1 minute more to rest Mckenna, and Arribas and Burres will play in the first 2 mintues to rest Susa and Guergue. But then I was in shock when Susa replaced Lipp at the beggining of the last quarter..... And of course he took a shot very soon and got exhausted.....

Why it happened???? I have simple question, what is wrong with this GE? Why it happened ? I used team selection like this many times and never happened, and now it happened in the last 16 phase of B3?!?!? What a craziness. Purpose of this GE should be to find a way to avoid exhaustion if you have enough number of players in the team, and not this shit to happen.... Ok maybe it was a signe I won it, I dont know, I learned many strange things by GE recently, I would not be suprised if it is one of them. But this should not happen....

Hello everybody, I have a question.

I have 3 PG and 3 SG. 2 of each the are starters and 1 each are prospects. When I´m playing regular games, I´m not playing the young guys because they are not good enough yet. But when I want to give them full game (scrimmage) and I put as a coach to ,,strictly follow the roster´´ and leave them playing even with problems with fouls- they are switching anyways even tho I havent put anyone else to subs.

As a result, my prospects dont get full development minutes...

Anyone has any tips what to do?

Thanks and good luck everybody!
