I remember the news of season 9 mentioned the 10~20% salary increase for foreign player from season 10 .


You remember incorrectly -- here's what was actually said:

From the Season 9 news:

As BuzzerBeater has grown in global prominence, fans have begun to buy more merchandise and do things like wearing jerseys of their favorite BuzzerBeater players. However, many fans prefer to wear jerseys of players who they grew up in their own country, particularly those who wear the national team jersey, and so starting in Season 10, teams will find that merchandising revenue is higher for domestic players, and particularly if they have a player on their team who is talented and famous enough to sell jerseys to fans outside of their local market. Of course, even if he wasn't originally local, an international superstar will continue to sell jerseys as long as he's putting up good numbers.


From the Season 8 news:

Also, we be making good better use of player nationalities, and domestic players will be slightly (typically 10-20%) better economically than foreign ones. The details of this system are designed to be fair to countries of different sizes.

We will be releasing more details about each of these well in advance of season 10.


While there was discussion on the forums about whether this should be interpreted as meaning a change in salaries, no BB ever told you during Season 8 that it would be the case (I believe we strongly implied otherwise in the forums, actually) and of course the Season 9 news explains in more detail.


is this a joke? I spent a lot to build my team around italians player to have 10-20% better economically, and now it is only merchandise? so, if this is the case, I'll have at least 53k of merchandise (32k now + 10% of my italians' salary)
