Does anybody know when the transfer deadline is for playoff eligibility?

Generally players can be listed up until the Thursday night (23rd May) before last Sunday of the regular season (26th May).

You can purchase players until that same Sunday night (26th May)

There will be a message next to the player when you go to list telling you the cut off during the last week, also in the Trading List it will tell you if the purchase is eligible to play.

Hope this helps.

It does mate, thanks heaps.

Who is gonna win the championship?

I spent up so I am in with a good chance, my wage bill is 20k per week more than the next best so hopefully it pays off.

Glenelg will be favourites though, they have the easier conference but are a good side.

nah doubt itll be me mate, im setting my team up to train, not going too hard for the win...

id have my money on ur boys or timequake...

Good luck, dude.

I officially admit I don't understand Buzzerbeater and think it's incredibly flawed. I don't get it.

Elaborate a little? Whats bugging you?

Haha sorry, I had a little tantrum and posted it on the forum to vent.

I dunno it just seems like...there's way too much emphasis on the whole "Take it Easy" tactic and game readiness/enthusiasm (which I think is stupid to begin with...I mean, since when is taking it easy in a game of basketball ever a tactic? And how come you can take it easy and then that makes you MORE motivated for next game?? Shouldn't it go by momentum? Hot streaks/cold streaks etc??).

But anyways, I'm admitting I don't understand why I lose to teams who play their players considerably less money. I scout other teams, I think I know what to look for in players, and I'm always patient in my purchases, careful with game tactics, I fill roles and holes with vet guys who can defend the shit out of it and what not...but just get dismantled by teams who don't seem to have many good players and they usually do so to me on "take it easy" even if I decide to go "crunch time" or "normal". Like, I guess I'm asking, is the whole take it easy thing to raise enthusiasm really one of the most crucial things in the game? More important than talent? I just feel a bit naive and out of my depth haha.

'Take it easy' and enthusiasm is good at varying results, lower teams can beat higher teams. Hot/Cold streaks would just end up with the good teams hot and the bad teams cold all the time, in my opinion. Enthusiasm and game shape do have an influence, but skill is ultimately the most important.

My team might not look that good, but it aint too bad for a cheapskate squad ;)

I get your frustration, but we all play under the same rules, and if you happened to manage enthusiasm (i.e. played TIE most of the time), your players with a higher skill set would have beaten teams with a lower skill set.

And 'take it easy' is probably a terrible name of it. Maybe we could think of it as the amount of stress the team takes into a game, and playing a 'calm' game puts you in a better mindset for the next game.
