"A larger reward for homegrown and home drafted players regularly getting minutes for a team like mine would be massive and offset some of the pain that is building a team from scratch"

^^ Bb already does that. what good will it do to increase these. that's the problem rewarding someone for something that a natural factor element in the game we call BB.

It not our fault, because we didn't create the game, we had no in saying the tactics to start nor the power of them to start.. All we can do is increase the power of the players to perform the tactics. training is the bread an butter in that.

My whole thing iis we can put a player down with all 7's then another with all 8's... which is the better Li/lp player? That not tactical team building at all, that market building.. every player need a certain amount of skill to be effective in each tactic. I cant go out and buy 8 players all 10's and say look I have a balanced Motion team.

Because the center don't need all tens.. maybe need all 6's and in 3 skill slots a 10.. But none will know what they are looking at because these player are not labeled in the market. all team are building is market players or Li. why ?because it sells.

If anybody understands Mr. Glass’ attempt to distinguish between taxing players and taxing managers, please enlighten us all. There may be something useful there, but for the life of me I can’t make it out~


Its pretty simple to understand. we spend in the market , so why keep taking money away from what keeping the market afloat with a tax. When they do that you have to recoup that money spent. there's inflation in the market.. which is more money for good or bad player. . A lot thing don't need bidding cost like trainers.

Tax the market if a manager has sold 75 player in half a season. Make the market charge him more every week of the season not per player but every week of the season. If come back and sells 75 more the second half. tax the market in player inflation sales the market has to adjust to much selling coming from one point. Those who sell less players will get more market value per sale than those who sell a lot. keep record of manager who selling so many players. tax the market for everybody, training for exempt is abusing the market.

Unique player should be worth more than common. Say for example a Princeton player would be worth more than a Li player because Li is more common. That not the case for what you get with a Unique player all he is worth is peanuts in the market.

We all know LI is overpowered but if people trained more players for different tactics, rather than just LI players, it would make other tactics more powerful because, as you say, teams could buy players more suited to motion, princeton etc.. Marin has said something along those kind of lines too.

You make some valid points but a lot of say what you say is bordering on Trainerman territory (sorry Trainerman) and its difficult to have a discussion with somebody who is just posting lengthy polemics.

I asked about the distinction you appeared to draw between "taxing players" and "taxing managers." So what do you do, you talk about "taxing the market," which frankly makes no sense at all. I think I give up.

And by the way, what is an example of a team that sold 75 players in half a season?

It was an expression not exact number sale of players. But some do flip 100 players a season .


They can tax the market if they wanted too. But they tax the managers ,the team. If you want to control cost what good does it do to tax you directly instead where the money is made.. Arena vs the market . These only 2 money source if income on BB. If you tax me, I cant do arena properly for it, if I want profits I sell to the market, That what a lot are doing selling to the market because there no income because they are being taxed, as they go higher.. 50-70% of the money is going to training. That not how you play BB. Thats not how you play it. 80% of the income to start should be going to arena not toward training or players.To hell with the market if ur a new team, build your arena when you do so you do so you don't need to the market.. You don't need good potent to have a solid team all you is balance ,tactical one.

Why should BB reward a manager for flipping player just because he trained them? That all tax exemption is a reward for training and flipping, not many people are keeping them for till they hit the top league. It a very dumb thing way of thinking. Only 4 out 25 team in the bottom rank will see top league in their life time on BB the majority of them will get stuck in 2-3 level . You cant really train in those levels ,those levels are buying level. Look at the market for them. where is the reward for building tactics >?? bb is about tactics not training out right. The best player is the Bb world champion and the league champion. Because of tactics knowledge

A lot would say he is the best buyer, I disagree. He buy for the tactic because he cant train up there but only one player. Taxing the market is smart thing to do. taxing a manager tax is not smart. Because its the nature of the game to buy, every div league not the same in strength. BB neglects that, they can stop the flipping by taxing the market not the managers. Once they see there no value in the market selling re hash. They will have to create which means, building for the tactics diversity.

Tax the market means put more taxes in the market, on selling not buying. Get rid of tax exempt but limit on how player you can sell also create a unique system for certain players types in need for worth like the stock market, so managers can know what kind of tactical player they can build or is in needed. So they know what to be created t attain money. This build tactic diversity in the market. Also letting team go bankrupt is a beautiful thing. Just give them a new team a week later and Add a financial advisor.

No were did I say I owned a Nt player.?

No I disagree with you on these principals... try playing with a starting low salary building ball club versus a team with a guy or guys like that on it. You cant win, you will have to buy more skillful player to compete versus that. To me thats versus someone else enjoyment it hurts team building. That team is going to league 3 regardless and he is going too be on u12/nt regardless in 3 league. He don't need be on Nt or u21 in div 4/5 / This same as having a high skilled player from Nbba in div 4.. How are you going afford it or beat that.?

If they keep it bankrupted almost because hey they don't have the arena to hold him. If they sell they will mostly buy expensive players. Teams in 2-3 league need the money more than team in 4/5.. Those are more competitive stages than 4-5

Hey, maybe he's onto something there. The next great idea will be to tax the taxes! Clever!
