BuzzerBeater Forums

It's a problem of the structure of the game.

On the past you could buy a young player for 1,5M2-M and after 3-4 seasons sell it for around 4-5M.

That phase changed 3-4 seasons ago, now the profits of training keep reducing, it's much better you train for your team than training for selling.

You can check that the managers who are succeed selling players they are more dedicated to trading than investing time on the training and then selling the player.


And most of your community is focused on training young players and trying to do what we all did on the past, trying to win 2-3M on 1 single player.


I'm sorry for you guys if you don't have big profits, but most of the chinese managers try to sell their player for prices that are more expensive than normal, around 20% of overvaluing

for myself, a season 7 guy, i have adjusted the way i think about playing buzzerbeater.

I win as much as i can under my preset conditions.

1) Always be training a Japanese NT / U21 player

2) Stay profitable/even with my weekly income

3) Avoid playing look inside (because i simply cant enjoy watching my team play that offense).

You win in the Transfer market my creating super small forwards that are under priced because of the glitch in the salary formula. Inside scoring is cheaper for SFs than PF/Cs and Jump shot is cheaper than PGs and SGs. you keep the jump range low (quickly become an overrated stat in BB), train their defense up and you have a good player that is underpriced.

The only players in the been going for 2 mill + consistantly are the underpriced SFs.

Aside from that, the game is more about saving money to make a run at 1) the last 2/3 weeks of the cup or 2) the playoffs. You save up a couple million them rent some high salary players, you get the benefits of winning and your merchadise actually increases, and you arent penalized very much when you sell them at cost.

Ive said many times...BB just isnt a strategy game.

It is a transfer market type Monopoly game. Its not about pregame scouting/strategy as much as it is about opportunism in the transfer market.

If you want to win now, just be an opportunist in the transfer market. You keep some money handy and keep track of the market, you can be successful...

...and the fact that i havent purchased a player in nearly a full season should explain my feelings about pursuit of success in this fashion.

Im going to play with a economically responsible roster, avoid look inside, develop NT players, and enjoy the game for what its worth.

There was a time when winning was most important, but as the number of top flight competition steady quit the game (at least in the JBBL), the more winning under conditions appeals to me.

Love BB, but there are some major issues that need to be addressed to even the game out.

I hear ya...When is basketball ever just one tactic? If Buzzer beater the game were a human, it would be sick in bed with the flu. The fun is almost gone for me. In fact, I have been looking into some other Basketball sims and they might not be on the level with Buzzerbeater but at least there isn't a tactic glitch.
PS..I see your supporter ran out and I guess you are not going to extend...mine is up June 9th...Is it worth it? That is the question.

Well, if you think the game is going to get new, cool features, and that if you already like the extra features, it could be worthwhile..........but then again the BB's take like, 3-5 seasons to make a new feature..........0r 12 months to 20 months...............

I don't want to go back to the time where 8-12k salary players demanded 1,5-1,7mil transfer fees. Even as free agents...

I suppose we could hope for something in between.
I just bought a 25yo 79k C for 424k.
Which means that every 5,3 weeks (0,38 seasons) he will cost me in salary as much as he is worth on the market .
(and he is in the middle of his BB career. Doesn't have great secondaries, but not terrible either)

To me that's the cause of most problems

But at the same time, I have sacrificed wins for training with the concomitant loss in income. That may not be cost-effective.

I think BB should be a plurality of games, game player can win ticket sales, trading, training to earn money, the current market more and more depressed, everyone on the market expectation is lower and lower, it is a dangerous signal.Now is not a small profit, but not to earn money。I wish I were an enterprising person, so I was at a very low wages to play, maybe it made more.I don't want to give up the game to earn money, very simple.
In China, native players' prices are high, not just for you, so it is for our own.Chinese BB game player has a lot of exchanges, everyone are familiar with market price ,they look like the trade master .This is not unique to China, many other game players are such。

You can.

Well of course you can't get a 5k Superstar with well-rounded abilities for 50k right after a draft. Unless you are lucky, which happens from time to time. But to get a 4k Superstar with one deficiency - say, Inept Rebounding or Jump shot - is really easy and with training you can easily correct that, especially with elastic effect.

Look at this player from my friend for example: (23055333): If he wasn't from such a big country, he would most certainly be invited to his U21 team. He's being dismissed by Polish scouts for now, but I'm sure he can make it to the bench with Proficient GS from time to time.

He was bought for 1k.
