Then that would be not equal to everyone, every manager should have the right to buy and sell any player at any time. I can't see any problem with this bid system. And also I don't think that accurate value in the market can be calculated like many of you require.

What i defend it´s that every manager has the option to bid for a player, but on time; after trade deadline, only the managers who made a previous bid.
About market value i think it´s ok, if you pay x$ for a player, this player´s price is what you have paid for him. No problem with this.
Best regards

This definitely is not changing to an eBay-style system, where the last lucky user to bid gets the player, it will never work that way.

Well I don't think that could fix that, I mean e.g. if I bid 1k for the player, other manager bids 2k and so on so there'll be lots of managers who can fight after the deadline, same with the fixed price at the beginning of the bid e.g. 200k or else.

I think that´s the way BB bidding system works, the last manager bidding gets the player

I mean e.g. if I bid 1k for the player, other manager bids 2k and so on so there'll be lots of managers who can fight after the deadline.


That´s ok, no problem. I think that´s perfect. What doesn´t seem just to me it´s to bid for a player after initial deadline if you didn´t bid before.

Fixed price could be a nice idea too. You put a player on the market, fix his price and if a manager comes and pays that price, player sold.

I just can't see the problem with this bid system, and I couldn't read any serious problem from your posts. No offence :)

Ich bin ein schnäppchenjäger :D

Beats my old phrase which was ein kugelshreiber....

Keep the system as it is. Simple as that.

Everybody want to end the bid quicker and get the player at the minimum without 3 more minutes of trouble.
But, its an open market.
Everybody has a chance to out bid anybody.
If u don't want to wait, u can give ur best shot (max bid) and see if the others match.
A fix time system, will only award the lucky bid not the highest bid.

ebay style has bidding agents, thats mean you type what you like to pay max, and if someone bids o the player and your max bid is higher, you bid so high that you overbid him but still the minimum bet to win the auction ;)

Evbay style is different to his proposal, and i believe also working. Now the question si, what makes more fun, and i stay with the old system.

The need for a three minute time addition whenever a GM makes a bid towards the end of the auction is inevitable. It's far too hard to judge when exactly the time will end, as the BuzzerBeater clock does not line up with my clock precisely to the second, leaving the bidders to guess on the last moment of the auction and throw up a random amount of money, not knowing if it's too little or far too much to be putting down at that point in time. Things will indubitably become a chaotic fight to win the rights of the auctioned players, leaving the losers to only complain more about the retched unfairness of the "new method" and pursue the re-institution of the old one.

Let's leave things as they are now. You may have to bid more than you want for certain players you have a desire for, but that's just the harsh reality of today's player market. Real-life GMs experience the same dilemma that we're all facing concerning the transfer list, so stop griping. Buying a player in the midst of 50,000 other teams shouldn't be easy.

That´s because there is no problem, we are only debating about the way of improving the system. That´s all.
