Despite winning the cup last season, I have had been no higher than 2 balls all season in "Happy with Performance Last season


That is pretty crazy: when you win the Cup, most of your fans should be happy. Still, I think BB does a great job. Its tough to create a realistic digital simulation of complex human affairs (like basketball leagues) ...


I am not so sure about that.....even a simplistic formula like (below) would be better than the random mismatched weirdness it spits out now:

Team won a Championship and/promoted = 5 balls
Team made playoffs = 4 balls
Team finished 5th seed = 3 balls
Team played in, but won relegation series = 2 balls
Team sucked, and relegated = 1 ball

This is just one category to consider, but you get the idea. Maybe the fan survey overall is just a silly idea that should be dropped....but this is a simulation game...every formula, stat, rating, etc. should matter....No doubt it's impossible for things to be 100% correct...but at least have it so it's not 100% ridiculous!

Lol, how fitting is the location for tonight's National Tournament on a Neutral Court?

Forget who was talking about FT% last season, but I remember hoping to get over the 80% hump.

I went 363-436 to shoot 83.3% from the line this season. :) Did you make it? I know my hacking team gave everyone here enough chances!

That was me, I didn't make it. RNG was too great.

374-452 for 82.7%

What hurt were guys like Diomen Ismael with Wondrous FT shooting 60% (12-20), Kantans with Wondrous shooting 80% (44-55), and my highest FT guy, Pratt with Marvelous going 86.1% (62-72). Pratt took my 2nd most attempts, so I hoped his FT could carry me a bit.

I could have trained it a bit more, but decided to add some stamina and occasional GS. But if Pratt/Kantans/Ismael shot FT's like I figured they should have, I would have hit 85% for the team.

Well it's you and me now. I'm on a quest to bring my average in Finals from 1-4 to 2-5. I'd rather not have 4 silvers to 1 gold.

Should be a great series! I am hoping to ride HCA to a Championship victory. I am very nervous facing your great team.

I am 95% sure that if I win this series I am pretty much done with BB....Might just buy some trainees and let them ride and bank money and see if something sparks my interest in again in 5-7 seasons....If you win the series though, you force my hand and put my retirement plans hold....Can't quit until I win an NBBA Title.
