I think this is the underlying issue and it can only be improved with time. The problem is that by artificially trying to get these top skill players to the top teams sooner it can leave teams behind that might be almost as good, but just not in the top division.

It might not be completely fair but I think it's better to get the heirarchy sorted out sooner rather than later. I think that with vertical compression and good management most of the lower Div. teams that are upset will be at or near the top soon anyway so the disadvantage is not that great.

As a Div III manager, there are other elements of the game that needs to be worked on first. Parity is very good for a game right now and shouldn't be overlooked until the game engine, tactics, staff, and training are mature. How about making a shotblock show up? How can doctors be valuable? How about defenses that create advantages on both ends of the court when they should only create them on the defensive end. There are ways to keep users plugged in other than this.

You're missing my point here, let me try to explain.


It's true that the money of the top teams are gone forever, but what does it really matter to them?


The issue is not what it matters to them, it's what it matters to the economy as a whole. If you only think about your own team, or what another team is doing, you're never going to be able to fix the problem. Part of the reason the BBs made this rule change was to remove some money from the game (to fend off inflation) without hurting new teams, and this is a good solution for it.

Then go back to the NBBA forum where he said he made 1 million in a week


That is with TV home games on back-to-back Saturday nights.

That wont happen again this season, and may not happen for several seasons.

..anyway, the distance between top and bottom are growing more rapidly and it will become a greater handicap to have been born in the bottom than before.


I think that's what they're trying to do.

In my opinion, BB teams are handed MORE of a silver platter and with the influx of players, they are given a silver spoon at a lower cost.

Not following you here...

Hattrick should stop being compared to BB.

BB is heavily based on HT. WIth the problems in HT recently, this game absolutely should be compared to HT to try and learn from their mistakes and avoid similar problems.

It a randomly generated game. While I agree with the maturity of the game is best, I disagree with the speed. There are other aspect of the game that can be addressed instead of this because the user base hasn't matured. Once that happens - any change that comes with it isn't met with such resistance.


I think that we all need to remember the fact that about three months ago, there were only around 1,000 active BB teams. Today there is around 25,000. What percentage of those teams stick around for the long haul is a discussion for another thread. With this huge increase came huge problems. The economy was one of them. The actions that the developers decided upon are preventative. The BBs, along with many other users, saw what was coming down the pike.

These changes may hurt some users in the short term, but in the long run they will benefit most.

Classic. yeah, I tried to keep to the value of the posts, but got a lil carried away.

Simply put, yes the poor elements of HT should be viewed at from the developer level. HT can do the things it does because it's been around for atleast 10 years. You can't compare a game that has been around for 6 months to a game that has been around for 10 years.

I am not an economics major, took a class or two and slept at a Holiday inn a couple of times. There really is no right answer except trial and error. If it works, then great, we got to spend 2 days on a post that pulled some hair out, butts getting chewed on, and commentaries like mine that offer no vaule what so ever.

And the people stood up and said AMEN

I don't think it's a bad thing.

On a personal level, I really don't think it affects me as much as is intimated, as I feel I'm going to stay in the NBBA for a long time regardless of whether or not this happened.

Spending most of my money early on Arena expansion and trying to win games with my original players instead of buying players worked out really well for me, and this change doesn't really have the impact it may have other NBBA teams.

For the health of the game, I think it's necessary.
