As some of you now there has been some movement toward creating news areas for BuzzerBeater in the last month.

DonutDunker approached me and I created a site for him, but after some time he decided he wanted something different.

I decided to continue with the site I created and have made a site at (http://www.buzzerbeaternews.com)

Currently we have a selection of different articles from various people.

Superfly Guy has kindly interviewed several big players from BuzzerBeater.
Hoddy is contributing comments about the up and coming NT team, New Zealand
I (NikoRoberts) am contributing articles reviewing helper applications for BuzzerBeater

Number Twenty Three also plans on creating a small magazine for monthly or bi-monthly release associated with the news site.

This is a sister site to BuzzerBeaterStats and I hope it will continue to grow as the stats site has.

If you are interested in contributing articles or just give ideas for articles, please contact me via BB-Mail

Cheers,
Niko

Added a new face creator on the right side of the news site.

This is the first step in the custom player creator which will help Superfly and his interviewees create their dream 125 point player.

Creating the new Custom Player maker today

(http://www.buzzerbeaterstats.com/myplayer.php)

At the moment all of the characteristics are not savable, but I will fix this very soon.

I love all the work. Just a quick comment about the new custom player maker, in Superfly's interview GS and Potential are not included in the cap of 125 skills. Other than that looks great!

Easily fixed.

So what do you think, should they be fixed or unlimited allow points?!

I think it would be more interesting to have it fixed and see what combo's players come up with. With unlimited there isnt really a point behind it. I've found some of the players that were made up in the interviews to be very interesting.

I dont think GS is required - lets concentrate purely on the skill-set... if you own or have created a player like this I imagine you'd take care of his GS *coughs* My Yujin will likely drop down to average possibly worse today :(

Potential - again, the points will allow for any combination within the 125 so a potential could be assigned for aesthetic purposes but again I dont feel its vital.

Havent had too much time to conjure up any more interviews.. Ive said to Niko its a completely free section and so anyone is more than welcome to add more interviews.. perhaps they can just ensure the design a player question remains a fixed question to wrap up the interview.

Yeah I would like to see it be a fixed question.

I just have to get it so people can save their "dream team" on BBStats and then each player can be pulled into an interview with an iframe like I am doing in the site already.

Agree that GS, potential should be left out.

I'd also remove stam, ft and experience and add in a salary calculator. Take out the all the skills that have no effect on salary, and see what people build up with cost in mind. That's a pretty big driver of overall quality anyways.

Anyone want to chip in?

I don't have any salary calculator on hand so if anyone wants to send me the code for one then I will put it in
