I would love an autobid feature. To me the allure of games like this is that you're not required to be online all of the time. Many online games with worldwide population award those willing to spend the most time online or the most money. This game and autobid would permit the best strategies to shine through and not the person willing to sacrifice the most of their personal time or careers or families.

Sorry child We can't have dinner together because this Lartvian power forwards auction ends at 530 local time. Sorry don't book any clients for appointments today at 3 because I really need this Point Guard for my imaginary basketball team.

This game is in many ways basketball Hattrick except with a much smaller user base. Autobid has been a feature there for as long as I can remember and there does not seem to be any complaints.

Everyone against appear to like having an advantage based on taking advantage of people who can't be online at all times.

Of course NO, if you want the player,come and claim him.Put an alarm,wake up and make the bids. Be alert, and always online if you want the player. It's part of the game.
If you want to implement auto bid, and I will play with normal bids. Then inform me for the highest bidder,so I don't waste my time

It does help the rich though. Scenario: Player A is listed on the transfer market. Team A which is super rich sets a max bid which far outweighs the financial capital of other teams. They win the bid. In the current scenario, teams are reluctant to overbid and rather play the waiting game but with the max bid option, teams can go haywire

I have not read the whole thread but still definitely NO.

In case you end up really having to implement that, make it cost something (something meaningful, like 10-15% of max bid entered at least) so that people don't start spamming auto bids all the time...

I would rather see player exchange option.

Thomas Sowell said there are no solutions in life, only trade-offs. As somebody who works during the day with no access to buzzer at times I would welcome the update. I understand how others think their hard work in being online a lot should be rewarded. No easy answer but selfishly I voted yes.

Agree 100% with all of these points

The biggest reason I love this site is because it isn't easy. I have set a few alarms from 1-3am to bid on players I really wanted. I also went to work tired. We should reward dedicated managers, not make it easier for those that don't want to invest as much of themselves. Kobe and Jordan worked harder than everyone around them and that's why they were better than their peers. I appreciate that this game requires you to disrupt your schedule and personal comfort if you want to gain an advantage.

I voted yes but in truth I would love to see the developers update the training system before anything else. The idea of only improving one skill at a time is very out dated and forces team to do things that dont make sense basketball wise like play their PG at Center to try to raise rebounding.
