It's never going to happen, since multiple teams would make it that much harder to police. The game mechanism is you can trade your money for players, and players for money, and while it's different than how it works with the NBA mostly, it works well for online games.





But would you like it to happen. Would you enjoy the game more if it happens?

Great idea, i would like to see it happen. It would make BuzzerBeater more upbeat, and fun to play. I hope you guys see that side of it.

I don't think it would improve the game in the least and I wouldn't enjoy having people offer me crappy trades all the time for my players. But there would be a positive - we wouldn't see a thread every other week or so suggesting we add trades.

As great as it would be to trade players, I agree that it would be to hard to 'police'. A manager could/would give/get too much in a trade. This would lead to an unbalanced game and many managers would just quit after making a bad trade.

I think trading could work if there was a sort of skill point system. For example a legendary skill would be worth 20 points. If a trade was proposed there would have to be an equal amount of skill in the trade, give or take a few skill levels.

I also think the 3 team idea would make controlling trades much easier.

yer good thinking with the points system being equal.


The problem with any trade system, even if it was fair and no cheating occured, is the impact on the current economic setup.

Lets think about it - You manage your team economy to pay staff and player salaries, pay for scouting, The profit you make is used to enhance your team - like building up you arena, buying more scouting points, buying better staff members, and - buying better players.

Once your arena is full size, and your only spending $10k a week on scouting points, what do you save ur money for?

Purchasing players! :)

So here in lies the problem - if you start trading players, what on earth do you do with all your spare cashola?

So thats the problem - the game economy is based on around excess money being used to purcahse new players, if you take that away, (even partially), then the whole game economics would need to change - drastically - which just can't happen.

Does that make sense?

That's a good point, I hadn't considered age...

That would also bring up the problem of trading skilled, experienced players for 18 year old prospects.

Im going to echo it again, sorry if im sounding like im hounding you, its not you im hounding, just the trading idea which gets floated every week.

the game economy is based around surplus money being used to purcahse new players, if you take that away, (even partially), then the whole game economics would need to change - drastically

Right it would be too much of a change that wouldn't be worth the trouble. It's interesting to think about though.

TRADES would drastically change BB, i am AGAINST IT in any form.

trades fosters cheating or even doubts in the most honest trades done, so better no trades at all. the transfer market works well in the current BB system
