What rules are being broken?
Was it against the rules for someone to bid on a player that you're bidding on?

Not saying that I asked him to do it or anything, these guys all have a mind of their own and do what they feel like
just sayin..dont see anything in the rule book that says thou shalt not bid on same player as sid vicious

Not accusing you of any wrong doing and believe that your attempts at promotion and reasons for seeking it are admirable.

Essendon Football club thought they were within the rules as well and lets face it there are some past members of the XBB Federation, who have been reincarnated, who have had a history of breaking rules.

Would of loved this guard because win or lose, I could have sold him at a profit despite paying 520K for 2 weeks salary.

Market seems to have heated up lots today, I reckon I could have turned Cranshaw over for a profit on Sunday if I had of been able to re-list him straight away.

Whats done is done, lets move on and have a "fair war", well as fair as it can be with you having HCA and Sojka (a former member of HA) and also Duffill in your squad.

If you wanted a 'fair' war you'd both try and win the league without buying rent a beasts that are totally unsustainable. Obviously that didn't happen, so now it's just a case of all's fair in love and war.

Good luck to the both of you, may the manager with the deepest pockets win!

*shrug*
What can I do?

I hate playing this way as well, but it's either try to level the playing field by obtaining rentals myself, or bend over and take it from HA's rentals like I did during the regular season.

It's a totally crap way of playing the game, and you're right, whoever has the deepest pockets will win.

I agree with what you just said, that's the unfortunate part.

We all play by the same rules, but from a game enjoyment point of view, the rules currently suck. There needs to be serious changes, otherwise every season ends the same - whoever has the most money wins (unless they decide not to spend it).

I can't for the life of me understand how the BBs can't see what is an obvious problem and actually do more to address it, other than a couple of minor changes.

I believe that the hit to gameshape when buying players next season will reduce the amount of rentals and undoubtedly see a lot of theses beasts "retire" from the game.

Buying in beasts has enormous risks and could see my team financially crippled.

One of the biggest "learnings" I had in this game was when I accepted that the game is a management game and not just a coaching strategies game.

Cashflow, attendances etc all matter and the best way to have cash to invest at the business end of a season is to have some really good cost effective players in your team that can allow your team to be competitive and save money at the same time.

I am within the current rules that allows me to buy in these rentals but I also support the impending rule changes that will make such tactics less attractive.

Sustainable is an interesting word, yes Team Akuma has been able to support a high price roster all season and credit to him for doing so, but he has been running at a loss for most of the season so is his roster really sustainable?.

I hope they make the game shape hit massive and not minor when they make the change next season. In the ABBL every top team has bought up. If the change means you drop from strong game shape to slightly lower strong game shape then the change will be a total fail. If the change is you drop from strong to mediocre then the end of season rental fiasco will be over forever; thank goodness.

On the other topic there is nothing surprising about people bidding on players. There is also nothing amazing about people bidding on their friend's players. I know the XBB crew all play ball together can't you imagine something like this.

"In your face buddy that is 19-16, two points till we whip you just like I am whipping you in Buzzerbeater."

"Man my team is awesome but I really need a PG."

"I have a backup PG who is really solid and I don't really need him. He has X, Y and Z stats."

"How much do you want? Thanks buddy if you list him tonight I will have the cash after my game Tuesday."

Seems perfectly fine and fair to me.

I don't really understand why they've gone with a hit to gameshape when there's other things that could be done to eliminate the problem completely, e.g. minimum eight week contracts, or playoff rosters set at the ASG.

Hits to gameshape will penalise guys that buy players during the year for legitimate reasons as well, so I really don't understand why this is the 'solution' that has been implemented to combat the rent a beast strategy?
