You have to remember that their salary is extremely low for what you get skill wise.


True, but I know from experience that such players are a bit frustrating - once they cap and you see the few skillups needed to make them really special, the regret kicks in.

I had an Allstar and a perennial Allstar, that capped and would of needed just a bit more to become really great. I'll never touch anything below Superstar if I want to train a player. You can still stop if you feel the player is good enough.

I am in favour of anti-tanking measures but communicating them after the saison already started is bad style.

Totally right.

The salary changes were sold as LI-team-salary balancing measures. In this regard they failed miserably. There is not a single example so far were a LI team had a significantly higher raise in team salary caused by non-trained players3 yo than a competitive non-Li team of the same league.

Instead, players who took a long time to train salary efficient, well balanced high TSP players out of position (losing games due to this), as you advised them to do for 36 saisons, get a kick in the balls...just wrong.

Put far more politely that I can probably manage, which is why I've avoided saying much more than its wrong. I'm not as willing to describe this as miscommunication. I feel misled about the whole thing.

3. Draft
I can see why a better talent pool in the draft is well received by many managers.
However, as long as so many star to superstar potential players are sold for 1k or waived after the draft you'll have a hard time to convince me the talent total was not already sufficient.

Very good point that most people overlook when talking about the draft. What's the point of more allstars that few people see the value of?

4. New managers guide
Well done

Don't know what the guide looks like but anything they do is probably helpful.

5. Promotion system
Any additional influx of money into the BB economy is bad (promotion bonus).

As I've said before in this thread, the influx will amount to (estimated) 2 billion dollars EVERY SEASON. Not just a one time thing. I can't find the words to describe how bad that is without sounding irrational.

Buzzer Beater is not an action game but a slow manager simulation that derives a large share of its populatity from social interactions between managers (game chat, forum, BB-mail).

To summarise what I think about your summary, you really need to stop making so much sense. At least twice over the weekend and today I've been unable to give you a ball for your remarks.

Another issue with the boycott rule.

If you want to exploit it, it would be best to collude with some other user. Many teams need to punt a game or two in order to have the players stay in shape because of cup games.

In my position right now, the best thing to do, would be to find a team that is willing to punt a game, and I'll do another favor. Because I could use a substantial amount of money, this could be an overbid on a player. I doubt that would be a wanted outcome for everybody.

If you can find 2 teams in your conference to collude with, you can all be safe for 2/3 of the season.
