(cont) The cold truth Is it not hard to make money on BB. Look at my team its awfuls but Im making 120k a game. It really easy to make money. It not hard to out bid some body if your in china either. Having 5 kobes don't mean anything if they don't know how to use them correctly.

Look at what happen to rome Rome. high taxes. lost freedom for restriction..?? That should be a wake up call. But its sad to some don't want get out the bed to answer that call.

Thats my take on BB.. They want fair ness but just going about it the wrong way. Shoving down people throat is not the way.

Mr Glass is one of the special things I like about BB... and he is not just a Supporter Feature, which is nice.

I think everything play a factor the biggest thing to me is the constant changes..

So you would enjoy a game with no changes at all. None. Old game engine with allstar game scores then.

I don't pay for the game, because why should honor a tax enforced game and player restriction forced game.

Did you support the game when there was no tax and no player restrictions? No you did not. Your point is moot.

There was no guessing game to the tactic of the foes in the division before the game..

Yes there was. It's called a game plan. GDP is just extra on top of preparing correctly for your opponent.

I think 1 player training has to be for all positions. every single skill for every single player... Why should I put a pg at center just to get inside shot.? I think this game is back wards. Team training should be the same as 1 Player training if not greater..

Then there would be a game without 1-player training at all. And oops, you just broke your #1 rule. There aren't supposed to be any changes to the game.

Bidding on every dang thing on the game,. its a huge turn off. Im not even going to get into the prices .

There's no bidding on your posts. So it's not quite everything. Vegetables stuck in teeth, BO (body odor not base offense), and back hair are also turn offs.

If I want a player from china then it on me to understand the time zone climate.

Time zones and climate are 2 different things. Climate involves weather. You have an arena to keep out the weather.

Team bankruptcy should not mean team closure.

That's what bankruptcy is. Sorry.

That's all I can take for now. Please keep writing. It's hilarious.

lightly controlling.. Lol. Right. Look MY limit to afford is my bank account on BB, that how the game was made to start and that's how the game should be. Just because some manager was beating beat some in managing areas, Somebody went and cried to the GM, let brew up sum Nba rule on trading and selling, training youth and call it cheat prevention. Its a cowardly move.. a cop-out in my small opinion ruining player freedom.. If your whipped grow tougher skin. Don't go brew up sum smoke in a pot and call it magic soup. The game is left with smoke in a pot. I don't see any improvements. Money is still easy to get teams are still tanking.. Top team still making millions a season, same teams still dominating. So much for that.. but man in the bottom league god bless him because he going to need it because that where the quitting is.. I never been over the limits or in the red since been on the is game ,ever. Even when I two 70k a week players. I sold because I wanted too. Finances is never my problem.


I beg to differ ,nba teams have more le-way than BB. For starters there no restriction who a team can afford. A player can take any deal and ,ake a offer to team. KObe can play for the Charlottes bobcats if he wanted too, oh because the bob cats didn't train him ,he not welcome. oh because he want 20 million, that s a cop-out. kobe can say I want 10 mill . In BB we cant do that.

I don't want tax exemption. and I don't restriction. Some how some way a lop sided voted happen. Last time check the forums rolled with anger and all sudden lop sided vote for it. Its comical to me. This is why I play for fun.

You look at everything like the cup is half empty.
I wish that you could suggest instead of writing this post.
These players don't have personalities to sign.
There are no contracts and this isn't the NBA.
I really think that no player in the NBA would sign
at that division and that LeBron wouldn't play for me.
I am from Canada and he is american.
But, it doesn't matter because these are fictional
players so we make all the rules that will keep us happy and fair.
That is why we have no trading.
Just like why you lose spots in draft for forfeits.
KObe can play for the Charlottes bobcats if he wanted too,

Plus the Bobcats rock.

I missed you.

But I will listen to you the day you will understand that you don't need to buy a player with a salary you are not allowed to. I'm not even sure there is such many players. I'm interested to know what's your limit and how many players are over it currently. By the way, bankruptcy does mean your players are put on sale, not losing your team. BB is lightly controlling your finances because tanking was bothering people, more than very few limitation. The NBA teams are a lot more controlled financially speaking.


Based on his current WR, he can buy any player with a salary of up to approximately 136,000 per week (a high 135k was under his WR, a high 136k was above it), which means of all the talents currently on the TL, he is unable to bid on 77 of them.

Top team still making millions a season


That is definitely troubling, and something that the BBs should do something about if, I don't know, it ever becomes more real than leprechaun on unicorn porn. The teams making huge amount of money are those who do one or more of the following things:

1. Tank in a very high level series, which is a short-term money accumulation and is not something that is successful over the long run
2. Stay in lower level series, keep low salaries but still win and maybe even get good players in the draft
3. Buy players for 10,000 and list them continually for 299,999 until newbie or second team purchases them.

But for teams actually competing at the top levels, without daytrading, there's no way they're making millions per season as you claim, and if they found a way to, more power to them. Aren't you the one, after all, complaining about being limited by BB because "some manager was beating beat some in managing areas, Somebody went and cried to the GM?" Heck, if any of the guys in the NBBA are carrying the salaries they need to be a playoff team there and not trading players like they're leprous pokemon and turning massive profits, that's worthy of great praise, not crying about it.

I beg to differ ,nba teams have more le-way than BB. For starters there no restriction who a team can afford.
Salary Cap. (http://lmbtfy.com/?q=nba+salary+cap)

A player can take any deal and ,ake a offer to team. KObe can play for the Charlottes bobcats if he wanted too, oh because the bob cats didn't train him ,he not welcome. oh because he want 20 million, that s a cop-out. kobe can say I want 10 mill . In BB we cant do that.


Except you're not the Bobcats. The Bobcats are, at worst, the 30th best team in the best league in the world. The equivalent to the Bobcats in BB is a mid-level playoff team in II, since in theory the top 16 teams in the country are in the NBBA, and the 14th best team in II is a competitor but not in line for promotion. But you're currently ranked as the 624th best team in the USA, so essentially that would be on a level below college. If you think some AAU/rec league team should be out there buying Kobe and Lebron to really dominate their nemesis from the Police Athletic League, more power to you - go try to pull it off in real life and earn the glory that would be rightfully yours.

Wow, I consider myself one of the top teams (delusional?) and I am not making millions. Hell, I am making less money thatn D5 team. Unfortunately top players cost top money. There is no bonus for winning the league (whats up with that? You make money for winning everything else) so in order to win in a highly compeatitive league you are in fact losing money!

Tanking is prevented by salary floor (oh well, profits from it are limited), and I like new tax (kind of like luxury-tax in NBA) and it affects probably less than 1% of teams out there. Only change I am not so warm towards is GDP. Of course scouting helps but it introduces undesired randomness in game (but it did succeed in stopping teams from playing LI all the time)
