back log works like this. Say for example you have a Kobe Bryant type of basketball player. You had this for kobe 13-15 season now. kobe is worth 15 million a season in the nba market even at his old age of 34/35..

back log is the leverage with kobe in the selling market of 1-15 million.. which mean 1 million exempt from the nba tax to you team. you can take the cash or you can tax exempt . You keep this no matter what. .So its mean you have capital to make purchases for players to build around him or after him.

You get a certain amount capital for every player that stays on your team for a certian amount of time he stay and make you revenue. That he has built you capital( ticket money , jersey mvp's, etc etc)., it buy into market value of the ball club unless they are over the cap in salary.


But for 3 player if they played 15 years let say 1 mill each retain 20% each, that's 750k you get back to buy new players or exempt your self in the tax. Bb don't give us that, once they gone you lose that Not in the team bank account. You don't have that choice of how to use it.

something similar occurs in professional soccer leagues in europe. Let's say you are a small soccer team in Ecuador. You have this juvenile you grew up in your lower rank leagues [baby soccer, U15, U17, and U20] until he's now a full 21-y-o beast [this would be the equivalent to training a good player in BB]. when this Ecuadorian soccer club sells this player to, say, Paris Saint German, or Atlético Madrid, they insert very frequently this clause, this "formation clause", where any future sell of this player will report a small percentage of the transaction to the original ecuadorian team. All based on the formation. So Atlético Madrid actually OWNS the player, but every sell/buy transaction from then on will report a plus for the original team.

but this doesn't happen with EVERY player. only with a selected group. now, there are some logistical huge problems to implement this in BB, or even in other real life pro sport. Markets, including the BB market, many times act on potential, not performance. and if this bulk of players fails that potential -or managers simply quit the game-, you could be in a very tough logistic implementation of fair rules.

so it's not that simple.

The very threads of the economic pattern could unravel if you are correct. Is there still time to fix this with a deteriorating user base?
With all this tax revenue being generated, how should that money be spent?

Fact is level 4 trainers are inexpensive and can train players of any potential
the difference between them and levels 5 and 6 not worth as much as the price you pay for them
of course if you are division 1 than you might be able to afford them

Hey I agree. Its not simple to implement and Bb work very differently there is no franchise player selection on BB ,but it could be great reward for trainers managers and the player meet the team HOF creds of 12-15 season or more for a team.

I think it would be great idea on BB at same, is it good or BB ? That's the owner to say I, if they going to tax and its about training I don't see why not. Its a opinionated option.

So I agree it not as simple

Finally a reward for training

Training Exemption $ 308 865 ;)

Hi peeps, above numbers arent the one that we earned right?it is just those sums that dont get taxed.
At first i was very excited as i thought i will be only paying a 3k trainee when his salary skyrocket to 100k. Oh there goes my happiness :(.

I love this new rule, to be honest. As mentioned by others, it promotes the training of players rather than buying. I have a total salary-list of 409k (income of 490k), with an exemption of 178k. I am rewarded for training several players for years. Wonderful!

So sad that my training exemption got reduction after selling one of my trainees ...

When should I sell my trainees and no reduction to my training exemption?

Impossible. That's the whole point of having a training exemption.
