I'll suggest something and it lightly touches the debate on cheating.

I tried to suggest that a NT player could be called up only if he is playing for D.I team. A NT player is generally not affordable by D.II or lower anyway, unless it's a SF. However, a D.I leaguer can avoid this rule if his brother/father/friend makes an account ad trains a player up to desirable skillpoint sum. You would say that it's forbidden to buy players from that team! This is easily avoidable:

His brother/father/friend doesn't log into that account anymore, thus making the team go bot and the trainee is put on free agent list, where the D.I leaguer can buy him.

He basically cheated legally. That's why I think NT players should be from D.I teams only AND free agents should be removed (or at least a player can't join NT if he's been a free agent even once in his "life"). You would at least put some legitimacy into NT program. As it is, we all know a lot of players in best NTs were not being trained the "right way". GMs know this also, but can't do anything about it. It's up to BBs to make some changes or remove NT altogether. As it is right now, NT is becoming a farce.

This whole debate around NTs makes NT seem sooooooo important. But they really aren't. They are a nice bonus for some managers, who coach NTs or train players for the NT. Most of the games are being played between regular users and teams. You're totally exaggerating the importance of NTs for Buzzerbeater. (Some happens to BBB...)

I know NT is important to maybe 5% of BB population, but that's not an excuse to make it go haywire now, is it? If it's not that important, why don't we cancel NT altogether?

NT are very important, bro. Where's your pride for your country?
Also NT is the highest level of play. There's a considerable amount of significance in that.

Not dis agreeing or anything Just playing devils advocate here, but doesn't this hinder free market.


If a team needs 2x the salary to afford a player then a top need 4 times th salary. This would hinder free market. If small ball club want to play behind 1 man and has everyone else cheap how does that hurt the game. IT stillleads the ones with the money can be successful and one with out have to scramble.

A lot talk about training and etc but some want quick results. So how it fair to lock them into training. with low salary players.

my brain hurts reading this , please make more of an effort to write concise english , with the trouble im having deciphering this , i cant imagine the trouble that a french gentleman or spanish etc will have.

I wasn't saying me in general this is purely hypothetically speaking . I said what give the system the right to lock teams into training. This defeats the purpose of "free market for all" which is my point.

It just leads to who have the most money ruling the game and ones that don't have any cant even get a decent player unless they train and make him better. So from any angle its still a catch 22. If they go bankrupt then let them, who's fault is that. Its not system job to save teams. Nor should the system be saving teams and restricting sales for team progress or failures.

Teams are going train players regardless, if a manager buys a player they cant afford and go bankrupt, Then its just a lesson learned. Once you start restricting sales of player then , it will kill this game more than already being killed. A slow death turns to a fast death.

If the system had something like a player wont sign to your ball club because your not winning coach r team. Then hey all is fair game. but some thing like what this suggesting is pure prejudice. ( while I do agree they can get better for these amounts ,Im just playing devil advocate here). What give the system the right to do so?

Off top topic when you are guys going to fix the game simulator. I had players getting fouls that where not even the game. I had player getting double fouls when the other team called time out. All this registers in the game , making team player lose out on play because faulty bugs. I understand its a simple mistake but come on man, It getting really tired of whats going on.
