No.

- could drag a player acquisition forever
- could turn a "steal" into "forbidden territory"
- would make the "little player" talent acquisition much harder if not impossible

You could, however, create an update to set the hour you want the sale to start (that would probably help).

There are so many other features/updates that I would want implemented before this.


Yes!
- Either consider BBM games statistically or cancel them, since they're not considered (except for players totals).
- Actually consider blocks and steals as stats, where they're missing (it's just awful that you don't)
- Update the walk of shame into a hall of fame (with all the "official" games played being considered)
- Add totals per competition in the player's page. The current "visuals" are messy, at best.
So much basic stuff (and probably easier stuff) to improve, please focus on that first.

If you are ready to put a max bid, then why not put it right away and hope that it will be enough ?

The current system gives us the opportunity to make good deals, to hope that we'll buy a player for less than what it's worth according to us... Yes it's sometimes frustrating to lose after a long bidwar, forget a bid or not be able to log in at the right time, but that is what makes a good purchase all the more valuable.

I feel like the proposed system will just give more power to the teams that have loads of money

To all AGAINST this feature.

You're enjoying long lasting bidwars? I am not.

You're happy with X last second bids against you? I am not.

You're enjoying waking up at 2 am to bid a player? I am not.

You're happy in the morning to see the desired player was outbid during the night because you didn't want to wake up at 2 am? I am not.

Does this new feature forbade you doing all the "pleasures" above? No, it DOES NOT.

You're enjoying long lasting bidwars? The proposed feature DOESN'T solve the issue. It will rise the market prices though.

You're enjoying waking up at 2 am to bid a player? The proposed feature DOESN'T solve the issue. Remember, you're not playing alone. You might just get outbid anyway.

You're happy in the morning to see the desired player was outbid during the night because you didn't want to wake up at 2 am? The proposed feature DOESN'T solve the issue.

Just make your best bid and be done with it.

Hi,
BB must be "copy" some features from Hattrick, where the system are solid and users moremoremoremore plus.

The autobid is very helpfull for an user that not have to much time (work, family, stress, life), may be who wrote before is a free student but it is impossibile to bid for 1 hour for a player!
In hattrick , when I have not time, I set te max for the bid and finish.

And i do not get up at 2A.M for a player. May be I prefer sleep sometimes.
Ty

I’m voting no, because this would ruin all the fun of the auctions.

But what would you say about buy-now option? I’m sure it was talked over multiple times, but what are the real pros and cons if it was introduced?

Sounds like a nice thing to have but is it really something to be worked on now? Rather get a mobile app version done sooner.

This would be the single greatest quality of life improvement to this game!!!!!!

Not only that, it would level the playing field for managers in less populous time zones and players who have real life commitments but still enjoy this game.

It would also make the game more welcoming to new players who aren't committed enough to wake up at 2:30am to get the player or staff their team needs. It tips the balance of the game in favor of managers who are shrewd and plan well instead of in favor of managers who have time to kill.
