Cal (continued): I essentially spent $9 mil of my $20m on trainees, so down to $11m, in Div 4, inflating TL and no players, I had work cut out to get to NBBA again. I decided to spend a decent amount on salary-efficient players who I could (hopefully) sell for similar prices when I grow out of them. i.e. promote as sustainably as possible. I also committed to buying US only (but that's gone out of the window recently). It's going ok, but have ~$6m, will likely promote into Div II this season, and the who knows?
My original goal was to save up enough to win NBBA and compete in BBB (brian told me it was the only way a USA team would have a chance), but because of the TL, it doesn't look like that will be possible. If I can do it, I'll settle for having 3+ NT players and being competitive in NBBA.
Chek: Do you think prices will ever go back to what they once were?Cal: They will never drop to where they were 5 seasons ago, the user trends suggest that there will be greater demand than supply. I wouldn't be surprised if they stabilized a bit though, it's just unsustainable.
Chek: Which BB user do you think secretly has the funkiest dance moves?Cal: GM-Jason - but funky in like an embarrassing dad way. Looks cool to himself, but kids are mortified. (y)
Chek: Where is Waldo really?Cal: I call him Wally, and I imagine he's in therapy.
(https://drawception.com/pub/panels/2012/5-6/bfdwCtdMnj-14....)Chek: If you could change one thing about BuzzerBeater what would it be?Cal: I think it's great the way it is, but I do appreciate any moves the BBs make to make it more engaging for newcomers, and any way to make it easier for younger teams to compete (more seasons = more money) would be fantastic. I do think this format of gaming is dying out in this new age of apps and action - but the longer we can stay around the better.
I would support any drastic changes BBs feel is necessary to secure longer term future. Well, other than 'freemium'!
Chek: Wow. Literally exactly what my answer to that quetion would be. Funky minds think alike it seems. Thanks for coming out Calum!-----
Big thanks to Calum! If you liked his thoughts on Inflation show him some love. Remember that you can nominate managers for future episodes! I know I have fun doing these. Until next time, thanks for tuning in to Flash Masher Life Radio
