First we have no hint that developpers consider the economy hyperinflated or not

I've also said this before, I believe they want inflation, and more of it.

How much of the total salary mass would be need to be raised to compensate this ?

Well, they said they said they were going to raise salaries last season in such a way as to be almost a neutral effect, yet in fact their proposed salary increase actually caused salaries to fall slightly. For Foto's reference, this is from their news post. This season they're saying salaries will raise. However, they've chosen to increase salaries but making it even more difficult to do anything other than play LI, something users have been fighting against for many seasons, and not by raising salaries across the board.

Salaries would be the easiest way to curb inflation, if the BBs wished to do so. As I said I think they don't. I think its clear that the majority of users do not enjoy the game as much as they used to, and one of the main reasons, (I have actually been told this on many occasions) is the economy. Some people actually already regard it as broken.

This next part is conjecture, but I do think they BBs are trying to inflate the economy because they think this will make people train. I think this is flawed, I think it won't work, and it will continue to piss people off.

They don't tell us anything tangible but they do often drop hints, and I think its clear they'd like to see more of training more players. They could help us do that, but they've decided instead to try to force us.

I'm sure the staff will be along now, those aren't so petty as to ignore my posts, to tell me that if we don't train there won't be any players and is that what I want. To avoid that I'm going to say now, no, I'd love for everyone to be able to train.

Hey....PEOPLE have been suggesting these things for about 20 seasons now. You do know that PEOPLE is a word used for when there are more than one PERSON saying or doing something? So YES...people are saying the game is OLD, OUTDATED, and needs to fixed before it dies. Just because you and the other blind robots can't see what is right in front of you. They are taking money from users for advertisements but it is not working. It is time they realize that they need a better product. And I know that when the game goes under 15,000 users, it will be the point of no return. And I don't give a damn about your opinion. I am still fighting for this game!!!
Instead of talking trash, you should just say THANK YOU and go on your way.

If the developer/s or owners or BB - who do we have to address anyways? - fail to see the issues, the game is doomed anyways.

If they don't consider the economy hyperinflated it's game over. A 12 year old with some experience should be able to see the issues and problems connected to the economy.

I read lots of complaints on global forums (and some are too much aggressive), but I personnally enjoy the way the game is going.

BBs are listening users, as they recently adapted fan boycott and promotion/demotion according to users' opinions. In the past, they implemented lots of suggestions that were coming from users. Sure they don't implement everything that is proposed (that sounds impossible) but I don't understand how we can say they don't listen people.

Sure there are some troubles with communication, I agree with that. But I globally like the game the way it is and the way it evoluates. Am I the only one?

Disagree about seeding cup at any time.

#1 thing I love about the cup is seeing what cinderella team from lower division can make it the furthest. As a new user or returning manager with a new team, it presents a challenge and/or different team goal for the season.

It's also a good way to spot new tidy managers from your country who have started to learn how to play the game and a team that you might have to watch out for as it climbs the ranks.

People might be moving away from Buzzerbeater not due to outdated game engine, but rather the fact it is web based manager. Teenagers prefers mobile flash games (and it is not sports manager) or consoles. People above 25+ are switching from online games to set up families and focus on work. It is not the problem of a game, it is general tendency. The same happened to most of online games, so you can't blame developers for that. On the other hand, how ridiculous it may sound, seeded cups will not change the trend.

They are just painting over the cracks. This is a basketball game and the heart of the game is the actual GAME ENGINE!! When was the last time they even added any new text to the GE.......I can tell you because at that time I was an LA and had to translate it, IT was a very long time ago. I actually think the BBs don't have the skills to overhaul the GE. Maybe the BBs who did have the skills are long gone. That is why all the changes to the game are just superficial. Salary changes, draftees with one are more skills to start. Even the stupid court logos wasn't an actual change in the GE.
I just had an epiphany. Maybe the captain has left the ship, and now the crew is trying to drive the ship, they don't know how the ship works but they can keep it afloat. And to keep moral up, they keep all the talk positive(sound familiar GMs).
