I'll quote you here ned ;) Good posting.


And I agree with darykjozef, that draft picks should be considered as original team members, so 97%.

Congrats on destroying a large element of the game.....
anyone complaining about not having enough time to log on...


Do you always have to be so sarcastic in your posts?
We are just sharing opinions here...

Sorry if you don't like the new rules on the transfer market. Personally I do, and I think they are a good compromise between keeping the market up and stable and limiting some extreme traders from making too easy money.

In another game i play, tax on players bought in the last 3 weeks is 95% of PROFIT (sale price - buy price) so a 400K player sold for 650K couple days later you get 412.5K and thus day trading is a waste of time :-)

3-6 weeks is 75%, 6-9 50%, 9-12 could be 25% and then if you sell after a whole season there is no tax or something like 10%. Still of PROFIT not of the sale price.

This doesn't take money out the economy as you get all the buy price back provided you make a profit. It supports people to keep their players a while and only buy sensible ones. But still lets a skilled person make nice money improving their team, not just day trading.

well with 5mins now your can scout your opponent set your orders and thats about it... i would imagine the TL was the main part of the game that kept people online playing BB.....


well you have only 13 active teams in japan, scouting them doesn't take very long...

With a record of 10-11 maybe you ought to be spending a little more time scouting your opponent and less time trying to buy and sell players for profit...

Once I scored a basket that still makes me laugh.

my understanding of this game is that you have to finish in the top 4? no prizes (apart from cup) are given out to 1st place in the playoffs....

and with the average skill sets of the squads you get given for the first half season practically all games are decided by TIE or CT not tactics... if both teams happen to play normal its invariably a coin drop... in a couple of seasons as players and rosters improve then you can see who has the tactical astuteness.

so making profit wasnt in my opinion a bad way to give me a better footing in the early stages of this game....

as i just posted.... the outcome of games is more down to enthusiasm at this stage of BB... in 2 seasons the difference between Div 1 and 4 teams rosters will be far greater than today as will the financial incomings/outgoings....so scouting is down to whether you play TIE, Normal or CT...

training also plays a big part as for some training regimes you cant even play your players in position... so bar losing a few supporters for home games you just have to keep in the top 4 for when the playoffs come around...

and regarding scouting.. if you have inferior players and expect to outwit an opponent then at present you are relying on luck.. please dont tell me 2 teams playing this game for less than a month have such major differences to exploit...

You said earlier that the TL is a graveyard. Might actually have more to do with the fact all the auctions for bot released players have ended.

The TL is a place where players are bought and sold.

If you want to use that mechanism to attempt to DT, go for it.

If you want it to strictly make your team better, go for it.
