lol, i see.
anyway just for reference purposes: (http://i42.tinypic.com/25hpzpw.jpg)

Has any NBBA team ever broken $1M in salary for the starting 5? Looks like Rocket Science is there...

weird move... he already had the 6th highest payroll without that $370k guy & still has an 0-5 record at the moment. maybe he decided to just buy a spot in the NBBA next season? -_-
(just speculation of course)

sinibaldi is indeed quite interesting.

I had to buy him. Skillwise, my new SG and C don't match very well. I think Sinibaldi is a much more complementary.

I'll probably end up selling everyone soon to tank the season.

But in the meantime you feel like eating away your cash balance? If thats the case I'll happily take some cash off your hands.

yes, I play the game for fun, and it is not much fun just tanking. Besides, I might never get back to the NBBA again, so might as well enjoy the ride while I am here - my reserves were stockpiled with the intention of buying enjoyment. So long as it is virtual money. You are right though, in that if this was real money, I would make completely different decisions. :)

but how is it "fun" basically doubling the salary of half the teams' starters? it's to the point where even if you won out the rest of the season, it's a non-accomplishment. & anything less is a complete failure.

i mean someone could sign up for a new BuzzerBeater account, login once a month for a few years (stockpiling their reserves), then buy the "enjoyment" of 5 $50k starters in div 5... would you honestly find that scenario "fun" too? No offense, but when one's only "tactic" is spending a boatload of $ more than everyone else, it's incredibly lame.

aside from not being a fan of the whole buying wins thing, doing so is essentially screwing over a bunch of teams. you'd clearly auto-relegate, even with the 6th highest payroll. so now, you force a non-deserving team into 8th. congratulations? and you force even tougher teams into the 6th & 7th slots, meaning the other conference gets screwed in relegation matchups. congratulations again?

anyway just my opinion.
(& yes, before it comes up, i could easily spend the same amount. probably even more. guessing many other teams could too...)

idk, just don't get the point of it. ok so you burn through your money, now what?

but also was curious about something else...

really bad example, but hypothetically say there was no long-term financial consequence. magically the Lake Merritt Arrows have a team of 12 $500k players. but for some reason no other team has a player making over $10k. would you personally find that fun? if not, what type of balance would make it fun? a team of only $100k players? $50k players? close to even with the other teams? like i said, just curious.

It'd be worth it to me to burn through my cash if it meant I could win a championship, no matter how outmatched my opponents were. There have been only 9 champions (league and cup) in USA history and I'd like to someday join that exclusive club. The methods of achieving it doesn't matter much to me. This game is as much about economic strategy as it is tactical strategy.

That said, I have a hard time believing he can afford it all season so it sounds like a poor choice right now but hey, he's in the NBBA and I'm not.

would you personally find that fun?

I fully expect to find that fun, hypothetically, of course.
