I know that things like thes probably happen very seldom but I just wanted to let you know that there can also be accidents and to provide these it would really be nice if you would have to confirm your bid, before it is final.


this is a nice suggestion

Having a bid confirmation page is a great idea. Until we get one, however, it is YOU who is responsible for accidentally pushing the bid button, not BuzzerBeater! They didn't push the button, did they?

You can look three days into the future before bidding how whould you feel if you see the perfect C asking price 300K and you get into a bidding war with someone U stop at 500K he bids 505K you start looking elsewhere when you find you can't bid because the person you lost to removes his bid. If he hadn't been bidding against you you could of got the player for 300K.
I think the systems fine as it is

You can defend the auction system all you want but there should at least be a warning on the transfer list or player page about bids being final.

nobody pressures you into making a bid
the current system is great
you click if you're sure you want to bid on the player
as people said, the option to cancel bids would destroy the bidding of other people and thus the whole economy
again a change for the sake of change, a change that is not necessary
topic over)

It's not change for the sake of change and the system isn't great when it punishes you for not knowing things that should be made clear to begin with. It's also not about being pressured into a bid, it's about letting us know the rules.

The economy, market, or whatever wouldn't be ruined by allowing new owners to back out of one deal during their whole time here, and it certainly would not ruin anything to at least put a warning somewhere.

I'm getting a kick out of the analogies though. One person compares it to a real life auction, another says it's not Monopoly. It's not like a real life auction because it's a game but it IS in fact like Monopoly because they're both games. What next? Comparing it to a fruitcake?

I made a poor choice in a bid my first day, and regretted it. I ended up training him a while and still losing money. It sucks but it isn't the end of the world. This is a great game so perhaps moving on, reading up, and lesson learned is the best solution. It has worked well for me so far :P
