BuzzerBeater Forums

I see what your guys are saying. I'm sorry, but I can't take seriously someone saying: the average NBA player was making 300k in the mid 80s, now the average player makes 5 million, therefore Buzzerbeater is a realistic simulation because the price of players is going up...

I usually dont post. This is my third post on this thread. If you didnt understand by now that this is not what Im trying to point out then Im really sorry but I wont waste another second trying to make you understand it.

I think that with the lack of understanding of basic principles you're displaying, you're unlikely to be honest at this point.

Actually, Im an Accounting & Finance student in one of Europe's premier universities at this field. Im also a proffesional athlete. I thought I was qualified enough to participate in a Sports-Manager-Game-themed conversation with you. However, as it turns out I wasnt. Too bad but thats life!

Yeah, keep your thoughts to yourself!!

Mane, you accounting guys don't seem to get a grip on economic concepts. forreal.

Income and salaries are stable (except for personell, those incomes are hyperinflating by design), basically it's just the amount of money circulating in the economy that is increasing. Now that we have reached a Point where the net income can only be spent on the Transfer market and millions of Promotion Money from Utopia were flooding the economy, plus we are forced to Keep Players for exceptionally Long time it had to be expected that Prices would surge, as the supply is shortened (nobody wants to sell with a huge loss).

There are many factors why this has happened and most of those came from the developers side - most of them with good intentions, but the outcome might have been a bit different than expected.

I'd suggest to do nothing and re-evaluate after next season.

I dont want to see an autobid system implemented because I believe finding great deals in the transfer market is a skill. With an autobid system we punish those managers who are being active enough and clear-minded enough...

Depends what kind of "autobid" system.

One could take the stance that by not having something, the users who don't want to sit on this game 24/7 (including waking up in the middle of the night to bid) are being punished.

If I was a BB I'd rather punish the ones that tank and have the money available to acquire top-tier talent than punish the ones that are on my site 24/7 clicking and seeing the advertisements...

EDIT: That's just my opinion though

True, but if I were a BB I would rather make the game work and forget "punishment."
That's just my opinion.

Its perception. Its what people perceive the market prices to be and the relative difficulty/effort required to acquire a quality roster, be it through training or watching the list daily for appropriate deals.

I agree there is a large part of perception, however people openly voicing their concerns is bad for business and it would be best that the developers and admins to show they care for their userbase rather than trivialising or demeaning those who complain. Because ultimately we can all say whatever we want, but people being unhappy about the current situation is a problem in itself. I've seen managers saying they like the game as it is and they could not care less if a small or huge chuck of the userbase quits tomorrow. Bottom line I just completely disagree with this point of view, the game is better the more people play it.

NO offense to you, but I raised hell on that in other forums every single point you made and no it was not the developer fault outright , managers voted on it with a lot of peers voting for it,. It was discussed behind closed doors by the shady ones of BB.

The trainers of the game wanted this to stop the top teams and all teams from buying their way into b3 and buying championships. Nothing is stable on BB unless we taking about firing new draft players on whim. They forgot training take a very long time to profit or to build.

Since you say, your very good in economics Id like to see your thesis on the economic climate in BB. Please tell us how can they bring about buying. and prices to level. As you know differ division have differ buying powers to afford. which does effect the market in a buying power way. When you level 4 team with u19/ and nt players selling them for 2 million.. do you think it create a imbalance.?

I have suggested the manager to do nothing but save money for a while, that does not mean sit back and stimulate the economy it mean be careful and buy low.. Your stance before was versus that , "Saving money" its good you see some promise in what I was trying to bring forth for the economy.
