BuzzerBeater Forums

I am making a wild guess now,

As some of you may know at the start of the next season buzzerbeater will introduce an extra tax on teams with a lot of cash.
The main problem is none knows how much the GM'S consider a lot of cash (5 mio? , 10 mio? or even more or less)

Well managers with a lot of cash will anticipate this naturally and will invest their money, this will lead to an explosion on the market, if you think players cost a lot don't wait to buy new ones at the end of the season because prices may double or even more.

So what do you guys think about this?

Personally I think buzzerbeater is unfair at the moment, teams that signed up earlier than other will always have an advantage due to their money reserves. BB may have detected this but I don't think this tax will be a solution.

Maybe a solution would be like in other games restarting the whole game at 0?
The whole game get's reset, I know Utopia is really new but this hasn't really helped the game.
I believe that like this the user numbers will rise again significantly (maybe even more with some commercials)

Resetting the whole game is a good thing to lose their oldest supporters, and that will be a huge amount of people. I wouldn't start from scratch again right now.

Putting a tax on older teams is also irrelevant. You have very old teams that remain stuck in the lower leagues, as well as newer ones who can promote really quick.

Sure, being the best manager in the world won't lead you to a BBBL title but this is part of the challenge : balance training and results, getting the best out of limited cash reserves. I really enjoyed making my D.3 into a serious BBBL side, but I wouldn't do it again.

I feel slightly concerned about the tax on cash reserves (not that I have much) because that won't stop current inflation. Good players are expensive because too little teams are training players, forcing teams to empty their cash reserves will even make the price of player rise again due to many teams willing to buy good players for their extra money. If they don't find any, they'll keep their cash reserves up and pay the tax until they find a suitable one, I don't really understand how that should lower the players' price.

First, Well we will see how big it will influence the market but I still guess the prices will jump


Second, I can't say much as WOW, you are rebuilding and kicking out the current best team in Belgium in the tournament. you went all-in and succeeded. Congratulations
Statistically I would like to say AmenRa has 200k salary more than Vottem, I know it's not about salary but such a big differential should mean that AmenRa is way stronger than Vottem, I think Joe never fails to surprise us :)


Final: Paros - Vottem, I will go with Vottem

Problem with Amenra is that he's very redictable, having little available tactical choices. But of course, it is all Joe's credit to have won that one, congratulations !

Also, not eager what he'll do when he won't be "rebuilding". Capturing Legaye is a masterpiece, he'll be a pain in the ass to play against 6 or maybe 7 seasons from now on :s

Joe will win the trophy for sure unless some cataclysm happens :)

==================

B3 is over, and unfortunately no belgian team made the cut to the final round. Both Amenra and I finished with 6/2, which could have been enough, but unfortunately our PA was too low. We're ahead some teams like Hostivar, Codemasters or ESV Laim, with Amenra finishing 4 ranks ahead of me.

I was aiming for at least 5 wins so I'm happy, I don't know what was Amenra's objective, I wrote him that I thought he might have gotten through, and that was indeed very close.

It was fun playing it, I'm really looking forward to play another round of that some day :)

The tax is a lot of noise for nothing according me. Marin has said the tax will affect very few managers so I think we are talking about 20-30M$ or even more! It's just to prevent teams to "buy" the B3.

This was exactly what i was also thinking. I think this new measure will have very low impact on the game, as few managers will be affected by it.

Also, i think resetting the game (as BigT said) would be a very bad idea.

Great win for you against AmenRa, Joe.

I never expected this to happen, but it did !

What a strange cup it was this year (imo).

Joe won the game thanks to his experience. Congratz as a win over the amazing Team of Amenra can only be applouded!
As for me I have 2 important League Games this week which I cannot afford to lose...and a Cup Final I would like to fight for...

Joe has for sure a very big Fan: Asingratitos will watch the game as he´s used from his couch at home
