Just because the players he buys for this purpose are expensive doesn't mean that is not the reason he does it.I bought a $2000 player just to play in two games, where as he buys a $200,000 player for the same purpose..For a team of him caliber it just isn't 2-3 games, with the BB3 it is more like 4 must win games a week. And it wasn't an excuse because what he is doing isn't day trading. Peace

lol... i have read most posts in this thread and i am sorry to say but this is the louziest excuse/reason you can come up with?

not ment this offensively but come on, you cant tell me he buys backups to make sure his players dont get injured 2 or 3 times a week... You would keep these back ups and train them and at end off season or so sell them, before salary goes up (in case that is an issue for him).... He buys them to sell them to make a profit. there is no other reason than that.

had a look at globetrotters max profit on sales. dont think 5 million over 2 years is that much. considering the time he must spend on this game... Especially when top players go for 3-4 million.



Buying a $1k scrub is only good for a scrimmage to stop you from defaulting the game.

A $1-20k scrub if played in meaningful matches isnt going to steal sufficient minutes away from starters.

Not purely to save injuries but a decent $500-$1mil back up can get 70mins a week to allow trainees to be interchanged in position. Leaving someone competent in their natural position so you can train a big man in OD or a guard in RB is as valuable as them being able to absorb minutes away from your regulars (assuming you can get away with it)

The transfer differences are somewhat distorted because of tax paid and also free agents that are re-sold that somehow appear on your history.

The profit certainly isn't huge - I'm not a day trader :D

Clarification to people,

I was hoping when I joined this game that I was iimmediately going to be competing with eveyrone who plays it.

I see now that that is not the way the game is designed to be.


The game is designed to allow beginners to compete from the beginning BUT this works only in big leagues like USA, Spain...

Reason is that in smaller countries you start in a league where teams already played a few seasons and have developed their players, arenas and so on. In my country the third league is filled with bots or inactives and the second league is filled with teams who have 5+ 10-20k salary players - the gap is just way too big.

If new teams would be put in weak leagues they could compete in almost nobody would waste time day trading imo.

IMO playing bots is not competing. That and I meant competing even with people who'd been playing awhile.
Honestly I don't see a lot of user control at this point in the game play. Its all simulated based on a few decisions from user.

Weird that a sim game should be simulated. The game is about managing a basketball franchise- arena, personnel, training, tactics, and economy. It's neither a first-person shooter nor a coaching simulator.

Once I scored a basket that still makes me laugh.

You know those games you play on your X-Box with your franchise? When you're disgusted with your team or don't have enough time, you'll sim a few games, right? Well, this game is just like that, except for the fact that you can actually SEE the simmed game.

All of the things the user can pick or affect are below:

Roster/Lineup
Game Shape
Offensive/Defensive Strategy
Enthusiasm
Attitude
How to Substitute
What to Do in Case of Fouls
... along with many other things.

People have been playing games against CPUs since gaming began. The fact that you can even compete against other real players is what gets people to sign up for this game.

Buy a player for a cheap price and sell him again for a higher sum.
