Hi

What is happened? Why loss this match?

(89470088)

He played with more effort at home. Beyond that there are probably more reasons but those two are big ones that can cause big changes in the score.

a: wrong topic ;) you want this one: http://www.buzzerbeater.com/community/forum/read.aspx?thread=251520&m=278

b: it seems he can defend on the inside and you cant score on the outside...playing patient = you didnt really have a place to get good shots (and he's a better rebounding team than you) so fewer possessions + more misses + less off rebs gained plus the reasons given above = loss.

I agree with many of you guys but the main reason that led to prices going out of control is that there are too many teams which are "tanking" for years (not seasons) and have 10-15-20M. They are not very active but when they log in and see a good player, they can bid 5-10M for him and in many cases become bots shortly after. Yes, lack of players on market is one problem but thousands of teams with such budgets is the main reason.

When I read the announcement of the Hoarding Tax I was pretty excited about it but I expected it to be on lesser amount of money (i. e. 10M) which would lead to very high prices in the next couple of season until everyone spends his/her money in order not to lose it and that would be the decision.

BBs might not want to mess up with the economy but nowadays prices are the reason hundreds of manager stop playing the game. If the BBs want that to continue then their current position is OK. You can't enforce someone to play the game the way you want (train players). It takes years to train a good player/s and many people just don't want to do that but 3 years ago yu were able to buy an average player for 500K and now you can't find such player for less than 1-1.5M...

One very simple question, how many managers there were in BB 3 years ago and how many are they now?

It is a fact, not the reason.

It is a fact that the number of people playing BB is decreasing but what are the reasons?

Of course main reason is that most people don't like this kind of games where things are happening slowly.

But as you said, for some time the number of managers is stable but still it decreases and the main reason is the way you have to play the game since few years.

Strong teams are strong and it is very difficult to compete with them and in order to build a strong team now you need at least 15M for players. To save this money you should tank a couple of years. And a couple of years doing nothing leads to that trend.

It is really difficult for new teams to develop in this environment and after a couple of months playing and realizing that they just stop playing.

My point is, if you want to make people train players - make training easier, don't make such market. I say again, this is the case where BBs don't want to lose more and more people.

I think that the amount of money is of course a component, but the current higher prices affect pretty much every range of player - including those that teams who have tanked for seasons would really have no use whatsoever for buying, but that make perfect sense for teams at lower levels of the game. If the amount of money for tanking teams was the primary driver, you'd also expect to find that once you're into the season, prices would drop to more reasonable levels, since teams generally don't awaken from seasons of tanking only to buy players a month or two into the season - maybe some additions here and there.
