BuzzerBeater Forums

Hi!
I was wondering how the buzzerbeater world will look like when well skilled players are to be found in the mid and late twenties and older.
We have already plenty of players who earn 100k and more , motte for example 155k at the age of 21. And almost any team can create 3 100k or at least 50k players within 3 seasons with the correct training. who wants those players when they turn 28? centers who have like a 1 in jumpshot and dribbling but earn 100k because of a few skills? so i think those kind of players will get very cheap. this season i bought a player whos better than a player i bought last year and he was 1.5mio instead of 3.2.
who knows how much a 32 year old will cost on the market.
I bet there have been discussions about players asking for too much money when they are highly skilled. i just have 2 things that could be useful if the salaries or trainingspeed or oversupply of good rookies, i mean lebron james wouldnt have signed in the 4th german league like one of the big hopes in germany, will stay the way they are.

well first thing is: if old players with high salaries are cheap and u can get them for 200k or something like that then lots of new team owners will likely buy them. the player maybe already earns.. who knows how much a player whos been playing 15 seasons earns.. you cant always keep him away from training.
sorry im making this too long :D
point is when those players earn like 300k a week then the new teams will be bankrupt at the next financial update.
like in hattrick, you should be able to afford the price of the player aswell as his first salary. there are also teams who buy 3 players for 1k each week and fire them after the scrimmage to save like 2k a week :D

maybe older players will be not able to bring the effort they were able to bring when they were 27 then there could be something like a veteran minimum or something that in any way decreases the salary. that was the second thing btw..
im not really sober i must admit

I'm not agree. U can't compare BB with Hattrick, at less in economy factor by training.

why not?

I think that even older players deserve their money. Is not their fault that they were trained strange or by a too good way or what.

However if player can do something, he should to get his payback, nevermind that he cannot develop himself further. The wage could be decreased by other things, I mean number of seasons in the club, volume of success or average points, I'm not sure in where direction and when, but this is the other suggestion.

In short - the age is not a dogma for the incompetency, the other attributes are.

Speed of training. In HT a good young player is more difficult to find. The salaries are more comparatively low....

ok but in 10 seasons there will be 10000 players who earn like 500k or more but only few clubs who can afford them unless every 4th division club has an arena of 100,000. so unattractive but expensive players will be on the market for very few money and newbies tend to buy those players. and by the next financial update they are bankrupt

you should be able to afford the price of the player aswell as his first salary.

Then, more penalties will solve the problem? I don't think so.

Maybe in a further future the system will take measure of this market trouble.

I seriously doubt that.

Also, 99.9% of all such players will be useless, anyways (with only 1 or 2 very high skills). No serious team would bother to purchase them.

i know but my suggestion isnt about serious teams. its about newbies who dont understand the game. theyll get attracted by those kind of players who are, when useless, very cheap to buy. but the new clubs cant afford the salary, maybe not even for the first week, so they will get bankrupt because they didtnt have to pay the first salary right away

I still don't see the issue. When they realize their mistake, they can just fire them before the economic update and then they won't go bankrupt.

Besides, if they buy a player who they know is going to bankrupt their team, they kind of deserve what they get in my opinion.

Finally, the top salary in BB right now seems to be just under $200,000. I would be surprised if more than 5 players broke the $500,000 barrier next season.
