BuzzerBeater Forums

Yes, well. Now getting a BuzzerBeater to tie the game and then losing in OT (after leading the whole game) isn't really helping my mood. And I actually am thinking of leaving this game. I don't know ... hopefully just the game result and my anger at not even being able to watch the game (and understand why I lost, e.g.). But the problems are getting bigger and there are more all the time. It's such a shame because the game is great...

Hmm... It seems that the problem is somewhat sporadic. The game viewer froze at a random place and then the game is only half read. On the time when there is an event (shot, foul,...), the timer still stops for a second, but the events are not displayed.

I found that all the event frozen bugs occurred at a substitution, like

http://www2.buzzerbeater.com/match/113481770/reportmatch.aspx?realtime=1
3 7:12 42 — 50 A. Topalbećirević (H) lost the handle! Ball ends up in the stands.
3 7:12 42 — 50 S. Indić (A) brought in for F. Núñez de Prado (A) at PF.
^^^^ Stuck here
3 6:50 42 — 50 S. Indić (A) gets off a great pass to L. Qingtai (A). L. Qingtai (A) attempts a jump-shot from the wing. Shot missed.

2 3:33 46 — 34 Free throw missed by D. Di Campli (H).
2 3:33 46 — 34 K. Ikonomakis (H) brought in for J. Leiria (H) at SF.

2 3:33 46 — 34 T. Haustein (A) substituted for P. Thierauf (A) at SG.

2 6:14 39 — 13 N. Wai Choong (H) and G. Yeu Jou (H) will swap positions on the court.
2 6:14 39 — 13 Substitution at C: L. Yueli (H) for N. Wai Choong (H).
^^^^ Stuck here
2 6:14 39 — 13 S. Stojković (A) substituted for Z. Eryun (A) at SG.

Despite the substitutions, did not see what is the common in those random situations...

And just a complaint... If the beta version of the new game viewer were released a month earlier, rather then after the flash is dead, users might have an approach to watch two the viewers side by side, which should make the test playing much more efficient...

So in the Viewer, Sophy's Slammers win by 2.
In the Box score, we lose by 1?

What gives?

It seemed that in the game (113246947), the mishap occurred in 11:45 in the second quarter.

The log in the play-by-play is

2 11:45 20 — 20 J. Kretkowski (H) forces up a three from the top of the arc, guarded closely by D. Katsiampis (A). Scored.

But the viewer just showed

11:45 Scored.

And no point is awarded. Here was where the 3 points discrepancy came from.

As I witnessed a few more game when the viewer was stuck in the middle, just want to give a few more conjectures here.

It seemed that in most of the times, the freeze happened when there is a substitution like

2 6:50 27 — 33 Change at PF: H. Wei Hin (H) in. D. Chiriboga (H) out.

And while H. Wei Hin (H) is actually still on the court, the viewer failed and stopped to process any further events.

If we try to track why H. Wei Hin (H) was still mistakenly on the court, we see that in the play-by-play record, he should have been subbed out at the end of the first quarter:

1 0:00 19 — 24 End of period.
1 0:00 19 — 24 Substitution at C: Z. Shing Cheong (H) for H. Wei Hin (H).

But he didn't. It seemed that the viewer is not processing whatever substitution occurred after the "End of Period" event. Most of the frozen game I saw had this problem. And I might be wrong for this, but I felt that the freezing viewer occurred more often when a player on the bench is substituting more than one position (in my example above, H. Wei Hin subbed for both the C and the PF).

Not working, 3 point shot, fauls, 2 ft...
Time stopped at 4:54 second quarter.

Current viewer is a pile of garbage, completely unusable.

I have to agree, unfortunately. It stops working during the game, players are scoring even if it's shown that they're on the bench. It's not just some features that are missing and "some" issues. There is basically an issue during every attack. Might be a bit exaggerated of me, but I guess I'm not far off ...

Aaaaahhhhhh, I arranged everything so that I could watch today's live game. Why I just did it..... 5 minutes and 59 seconds before the end of the game, the game froze. I refreshed the page, it didn't help. I changed to www2, org, it didn't help. And how many minutes did my players play according to the live game? one 474 minutes, the other 441 minutes, the third 437 minutes. This is what it looks like when things are dealt with at the last minute. The fact that Flash ends was known a year in advance.....

They had years to prepare for that moment and this is what we got? wtf man, many south-east asian scam websites look more legit than BB.
