I agree with you. Managers are bidding high on terrible players. Also, the influx of 33+ year old players is driving me nuts. I cannot get a proper guard for like 100-150k whose age is under 31.

I mentioned it in some other thread, players with reasonable salary are getting expensive.

Wait until they add the 2nd teams!!!

The supply of trained players is definitely contracting, causing prices to rise pretty steeply. This does make training all the more valuable. Maybe it's time to schedule a full season of 1v1 and JS, and train a extra player or two to sell.

They could increase the supply of players by readjusting the free agency rules. Lower the required salaries. Nowadays there are relatively few free agents coming on the market (unlike when free agency started, when the market was full of them).

yep i defitenely think theill change free agency because players for league 4 now costs more than for league 2 or 1 thats ridiculous. Also i am very impressed how we have increased market prices overall by so much lately even if we are losing so much players... Seems like we had a hole in training sometime ago where nobody actually trained anything, otherwise we would have way toomuch players on transfer market than demand is now. Seems like at one point people thought cheap player transfer prices would keep forever and they strateged on playing with old farts. Old farts now very very rapidly retiring. look at any league, there are way more 32+ age players than anytime before. So it seems like we will have increasing player prices for atleast few more seasons. And yep if 2nd teams, they would increase even more, but its a good thing, not bad. Training teams should benefit from training.

And the ecnomy where prices are higher than salaries is healthy. But we still have a problem with the very highest payed players, they basicly are trash, junk, whatever you call. This could be solved by increasing teams incomes. maybe the eaziest and most logical way would be to actually use up those 40k capacity arenas and make update where max atendance should be like 41k instead of 21k this would make highly salared players more sustainable.

Free agents change may work.

I actually think people didn't train anything because the long time over sea managers where just doing good work with building players and selling them. I can not lie I bought a few, and re selling price for those if I sold them would bring me about 3 million in todays market. The draft didn't help teams in those times, So you had 2 choices train your self or buy them already trained. Buying was just the safest bet for team success. The money later down the line, the current wins.

But with so many over sea managers leaving and getting caught for farming. The market has suffered, its almost dead. I agree farming is wrong at the same time , it was part of economic climate of BB. Now we are seeing what BB really looks like. Nobody has any money or know how to create those player that those guys did on that level. I think that why they want second teams. it like this some people grow there own food and some go the supermarket and buy it. So in small there is real wrong way.

I would still tell a new manager to buy a player and then do the BB draft. It just make more economic sense the resale value is threw the roof right now.


My advice is if you have a good guard. Sell him . if have a solid back up in youth. The money is well worth it. You'll double your money, the new guys going to bring in money later and old guy sell has helped your roster budget 2-3 million. I did this it myself. Sold some already made player that I improved slighty from being bought a few season ago, got 1 million to my credits.

I didn't know you win by having the most money...

You buy all your players and don't train them properly and run outside offenses nearly exclusively with an old deteriorating roster. I draft for primary trainees, buy young secondary trainees, the occasional late 20's hired gun and have a balanced roster which can run nearly any offense or defense based on match ups. One of us is on the verge of promoting to D3 (in much fewer seasons for that matter) with a core which will stick around for a few more seasons, the other moving slowly while waving a fat wallet around like it means something.

Keep giving advice. I will be sure to do the opposite.

Ive been stuck with nine to ten players because i cant find somebody i really like that would make an impact to my team - last season was already high but it seems to be going higher. I expect monster salary prices to go down though like 120k and up - the economics of the game is taking over

So what I am reading is that if I were to collect up Mr. Glass' collected pearls of wisdom and publish: "My life among the bots: A near decade in thrashing the soulless in division V - a Rucker Bad Boyz production" that you would be among the first to buy a copy at a very fair $29.99? Excellent.

Money make this game go around. If you think other wise. Then Id advise you not do arena, I advise you just train youth and play them for what ever you get at age 32-43. See how far you get.? When was 2 division the top league?, the best play in B3 last time I check and 90% of those player are bought. Your simple out of context opinion is not going to change that fact. So yes I had the most money to play the tactics and thats why I win.

But the wise thing you misunderstand is I had the same team for about 10 season? It good to play judge judy and people court without asking the facts, I studied tactics in those time with a bad team . The game is based on who wallet is the biggest, sad but true. It does not matter if you train your players to be the greatest nt players in the history of BB again I say this. One day you will have to buy some players that are talented already trained to win. Its no other way around it, you think so. I laugh at the misguided thoughts of others on that point.

You need money to succeed and you need a positive balance in the bank account to succeed, training a player to be the best ever is just a bonus, training player will never keep you at the top unless your selling them t buy better players. If you don't have any money then you cant get that trainer. You need money to do arena. It don't matter the valid arguments, you cannot compete on the highest level, you need revenue to do so( money) . This why there is market to buy players. If its that such huge sin then get your keyboard hot and start typing Gm nicks about deleting it from the game.

If you don't have any money you cant get your team better or to the highest level. Buying player and training player go hand and hand. Why do we have revenue and all these stipulation on how much you can make and buy? Oh you say its to keep thing fair. Tell that to Ny Yankees and the miami heat.!! Or better yet on BB the best team in B3

On BB you might want to buy yourself some coffee and wake up to reality. Nothing fair on BB, only hard work to substain your team, which means making revenue and buying player when needed. Which mean make money!! And yes I had drink that same cup of coffee, until you do you will never understand. Nothing wrong with having money as long as you do it honestly. Because your going to need it.
