The continued I didn't know defense doesn't get it done. What you are saying is because you didn't take the time to familiarize yourself with the game everyone else has to let you have a do over. Doesn't work that way it's like ebay don't bid unless you are positive you want to buy. Research, ask questions, read the rules and then proceed.You may as well chalk it up to a live and learn experience. I think just about everyone has had a deal where they said if I had held off another few hours or another day, that other player that was listed later would have been so much better for my team.


Hey mate, I understand what you're saying however this is the thing. BB is formatted really strangely and I found it pretty difficult to "research" these things. Plus me being a supporter for only a limited time I want to get new players that I can press blog about and get new players so my first game can be a success. I mean I would've researched, however it's not as simple as that for beginners.

You don't see how this is abuse? Let's recap: I am selling a player that is worth $3,000,000, and it doesn't sell, because someone blocked the bidding with $5,000,000 that he was then able to conveniently withdraw. If you don't see how this is abuse, I really can't help you muh.

And you're absolutely right -- no-one tells you or will tell you how to play the game. It's up to you to discover. You decided to spend money before bothering to figure out what the prices are on the market? I don't see how the system is to blame here.

Buzzerbeater is a long-run game where strategy plays a significant role. You just got your first lesson about why rash action is bad. Congratulations.


Well first of all I don't see how somebody bidding $5.000.000 is blocking the deal. If somebody wanted that player that bad and bid over the $5.000.000 they are willing to pay that price and there's nothing wrong. Plus my idea is to only implement withdrawal to beginners for a little bit of time so they realize value. That way cheating wouldn't be happening.

I realize it's up to us to discover, however I'd prefer to find a treasure with a map then find it while enduring difficult obstacles. And I did try and figure out how the transfer market worked, and as I mentioned BB's format is a tad strange. Anyway it's an assumption that's easy enough to make. Make a bid and change your mind. It's realistic and shouldn't this game be realistic?

I guess I did learn the hard way, although it could've been easier if I was told there's no bid withdrawal right when I joined.

I didn't really get to grips with the game until about halfway through my second season, by which time I realised I'd made a handful of mistakes. Luckily, I was doing well on the court and ploughed significant dollar into expanding my arena which kind of helped. I wish I'd have made your small mistakes in the first place, I may have learned quicker.

With the better economy structure, the transfer compare and incredibly active forums, there really isn't any reason to overbid on a player unless you deliberately do so. If there isn't a transfer compare available on a player, chances are he's way too expensive/skilled for a new team anyway. Looking at your team transfers, it's not like you've wasted a massive amount on new players anyway, so you shouldn't suffer that much.


You're right, however I'd prefer not to make any mistakes then small mistakes. Cheers on your contribution to the thread!

Yep, I see what you're saying. And you're right, it doesn't hurt me that badly. However I don't have that much cash to start out with. However the players were listed at values which I could've gotten much better players with.

If the player is worth $3,000,000 bidding $5,000,000 and then withdrawing the bid could definitely block the transfer. Please also note that it's against the rules to overbid on a player, even though it's technically possible to pay as much as your finances allow.

No, I don't think this is realistic at all, actually. The Knicks aren't able to "change their mind" about the $25 million they owe to Marbury this season.

If they made a $25 million offer to him, it appears that maybe they withdrew it. He's getting $22M this year. ;)

which transfer are you actually referring to??
I can see 3 transfers all no more than 50 odd K...

Whats the worst you can actually be overpaying for a 50k guy?? 30k??? !!!!! You surely cant have overpaid for your 8k dude??

Anyway - you are fighting / fought a losing battle...

I assume you are also only buying players with high potential but do you realise that anyone over 22 at that skill level is irrelevant what potential they have?

I would suggest read the rules, scour the forums learn who to listen to (and who not to)* - then make more accurate decisions when you next enter the Transfer market.

*very important

I have to also take this opportunity to commend Kozlodoev for his example of why the withdrawal system wouldnt work (the 3mil example)

Written like a true GM ;-)

First of all I'd like to say that I know the transfers that I'm talking about aren't that high. And by the way you're thinking of different players, the ones I've been talking about haven't gone through yet.

Anyway I'm not fighting a battle. I really find it ignorant when people tell me what I'm doing because I know better then anyone what I'm doing. I'm giving my opinion and it's being shot down straight away.

I am disgusted by these sorts of judgmental comments which you've just demonstrated!!
