An extra $750k on top of training a guy and making a million is a big deal for any team.


I made 750k extra rev from BBB, but lost prob 300k+ from the losses I took, so net prob 450k roughly (one I had to dive because of the BBB, and another from the BBB). I didn't get any extra training cause I had to play top players every game (two NBBA, BBB, and cup game). I'm only lucky I didn't lose more matches.

If there's a benefit from the BBB, at least looking at fellow US teams that made it, it's really not much at all.

No one who starts these days has any hope of catching up to the NBBA, no matter how good they are in managing their tactics and team.


Tell that to Turkey Sandwiches who's tied for 2nd place.

Exactly 1 team team from any top league participates in the B3, and one other team which might or might not be from the NBBA, per season. If you think that type of extra revenue is an obstacle for catching up -- wow!

Plus, catching up is a process. Most NBBA teams have put 4+ seasons of work in getting there, there is no reason to expect that players who start now should be able to catch up in less than that (and realistically it should take quite a bit more). This is natural.

I dont want to add insult to inj. but I would hope even if you invest every cent you can get your hand on to buy 3 suitable trainees and give each one 12-15 skill ups (minimum in a season) you should fetch at least 4-5mil more than the price you paid..... sooner or later operating costs are going to be non existant for top teams... so you better get used to training efficiently cos for some its going to be the only way to make a real profit...

Just to put on the record that, in competitive countries, this claim is simply false. In the current NBBA there are only 6 teams that haven't been in the NBBA since season 3 (before that, bot cleanups shuffled the leagues in ridiculous way.). Of these only two will make the playoff.

It's true that most of us aren't so concerned with doing the most effective possible way to climb up the series (though my team has won promotion both past season, and only this season I'm in a really good league). But it's also true that it isn't clear what kind of threat the core of the NBBA faces from teams in lower leagues.

Ah also: what can you do with 350k? You can pay a *season's salary* to a player that makes 25-27k a week.

What I meant by getting there was creating a team which is able to compete on the top level, not literally getting into the top league. And team building is a process which takes multiple seasons.

this is what i think, looking at the market right now there is still a big gap with regards to talented players.

meaning you dont see a lot of good or even great players that could influence the buying and selling of players today. you know supply demand theory :D

i bet with the number of users growing, and the knowledge of players getting more better than before imagine i wasted 1.5 seasons using team training and its not stamina and ft :D

im predicting in 2 season or 3 ill be able to see a lot of goood talent ( i hope ) compare to now, but i fear same as the nba is there isnt enough talent to go around :D

once the average talent level rises then we will see an alter in how we buy.

Well, that's even worse for your views: as I said only 2 teams among those that haven't been in the NBBA all along are even making the playoffs. The NBBA shows that in the past three season very few have been able to challenge the teams who just found themselves there to begin with.

By the way, my point (and I take it Ardain) is not that I'm not cool with there being a gap. It's simply that the gap shouldn't be amplified.


My views are that teams that have been built since season 1 will obviously be better at this point in time than teams that teams than those that have started in season 2 and 3. If you think that's 'even worse for my views', so be it. You're entitled to your opinion.

And teams that start right now (as Artain says in his post) will indeed need seasons of play to catch up with current NBBA teams, depending on managerial skills. This is normal.BB is not an short-term, quick arcade game. It takes careful planning, execution, time (usually lots of it) and a bit of luck. Not everyone likes that, but it is extremely unlikely that the situation will change.

As for amplifying the gap with BB money, of all things: please, division and cup champions get exactly zip money for their titles. All the cash they can make from BB participation comes in fair.

Well, to everyone saying the top teams are sooo far ahead of everyone else, I made the cup final this season and the cup semifinal last season so it is possible to compete with the NBBA teams as a relatively newer squad...I started in middle of season 3. Just train well and do some coaching and you can be competitive, just don't expect to win immediately.

of 4 NBBA champions, 2 started in division II. 1 started in NBBA and is getting demoted this season. As of now, 6 of the 8 teams heading to the playoffs promoted into the NBBA.
