BuzzerBeater Forums

how long has the economy been inflated? It seems like good players sell for 1 Mill now and anything below that hefty price tag is usually garbage or as old as paul pierce.

How long do you think the economy will remain inflated? Would it be be better to spend money on arena until the prices come down?

Bad players sell for 1 mil now and I don't expect this to change in the next 3-5 seasons.

Build your arena to increase your income, there are good threads in the help forums.

Div III England (where most teams are bots): League Average Net Income: $ 85 200

Average income in my DIV is like 80k, I could make like 250k a week and still end up in the playoff ranks (due to 50% bots). I expect this to be similar for many other leagues.

It would be pretty interesting to see a BB economy clock, similar to the world Population clock, that Shows how much Money is circulating in BB and how the trend is. That would help a lot.

How long do you think the economy will remain inflated?

'Till death do we part. Marin has deliberately made it this way in order to "reward training." I don't see him ever realizing it screwed up the game and changing it.

Yes, but now good trainers cost more as well. Either you spend millions on a good trainer or you spend millions on a good player.

I agree that micronations have an advantage as they can rack up more income while staying competitive. In Div IV, average is 56k for my USA league. This is a huge contrast to the 240k number that Trainerman put up. however, I don't know a solution to this. if micronations are penalized economically, this would be a disadvantage to them in the B3 Tournament. if micronations are not penalized economically, bigger nations are disadvantaged in league play.

I was a manager from Seasons 18-27 and this is my first season back. There is probably a ~500k inflation compared to Season 27.

The economy right now is a bit frustrating for new teams who don't get a good trainee on their original roster as they simply cannot compete with the vast inflation going on. The 50k for 4 weeks is not enough to make up the differential.
This is probably turning away new managers as older teams were able to cash in on the sudden inflation and through a long period of time, were able to garner a lot of $$$. Newer teams simply cannot compete, train, and expand their arena at the same time. Buzzerbeater is definitely a game that takes many seasons for a strategy to come to fruition, but the current state of the economy vastly increases that time period for newer teams.

I think this is a key problem that the game developers need to address -either through an increase in Trainers and FAs on the market or maybe increasing the 50k to an 100k bonus for first 6 weeks or if we are going with the training route, provide an 18 yo Superstar+ player on every new team.

I was wondering what`s your take on % increase of salary floors as a countermeasure to inflation?

That should hurt tanking teams and micro-nations and it won`t affect highly competitive leagues, thus maintaining balance...

Probably would be easier for BBs to run a code that just totals the bank accounts as you suggest...not sure the servers could handle it though!!!!

He's not gonna do it. He made the inflation deliberately and nerfed the Transfer market deliberately to supposedly reward training, he likes it this way and this way it's gonna stay, 'till death do us part.

(... or until my Supporter runs out, whichever comes first).
