for GMs / BBs - in many cases managers try to win crucial games bypurchasing one or more muted players (salary over 400k, cheap on transfer list)... this issue was targeted in B3 - too late but let's say that at least to a some point the measure taken is effective... but the same problem exists in national cups and playoffs/relegation (where the ones in relegation are a big pain in the ass)... please do something about it, especially that there are more and more muted players around, those that noone can afford in a longer run and they wonder around the world, sometimes helping to win a trophy without even taking a salary for it!

for you all out there... can you provide examples from your leagues to show how often people take advantage of this "strategy", that in fact is nothing else than taking advantage of BB's weakness

edit: one example in Polish PLK, team avoiding relegation with purchase of two mutants (over 1kk salary for those two) just before relegation games

And??:) He bought 2 mutants but he will pay salary for 2-3 weeks! it is really dangerous for his team.. if he won't stay in PLK he will have got a big problem... Think about that. He is good menager. He is in 1st league and he plays 7th season.. He promoted to PLK only for 6 seasons! I think it is nothing bad.. If we are talking about only this problem from PLK. ;))

In other situations is problem, but what we can do?? Mutants are and will be :))

I'm aware of the financial side, yes he may ruin his finances... and... he might relegate a team that is far better that his, while for the next season he'll sell all the players and loose all games just to save money...

I can do the same "trick" to win a cup this year... probably a stupid idea financially, but a trophy will be mine... if noone takes care of this soon all trophies will be won this way, is this hat you want to see in BB?

ps. it already happened in B3 and was targeted by BBs, why it's wasn't in leagues/cups?

ps2. don't make it personal, He's using a glitch in BB and he's allowed to, I have nothing against him, only about the stupidity of BuzzerBeater in this matter

Everyone should be fighting to avoid relegation / become the champion / win the cup... throught the whole season!

buying players just to win one or two games is of course allowed (I don't question it), I'm just saying this is not the way it should be done in an online manager game lik BB...

it's not rocket science to see that something is wrong here, and again, don't make it personal, it's not about the one situation in PLK, it's a general problem in BB

Strange language ;-)

There is simple solution - salary should be payed directly after transfer.
Of course mutants are indispensable in this game (in this way nobody can keep the best players in long term), and shouldn't be removed. Only "legendary-trick" spoil competition.

Unfortunatelly not... if a mutant costs 1 million and has 500k salary, the total cost to buy him for one week is 1,5million...
if you make the club to pay one salary at the moment of purchase the result will be that mutant prices will drop by that amount... so it will be 500k transfer fee + 500k salary + 500k salary for next week (the sum will not change)... it will only make things worse as the transfer fee will be lower so more team will be able to buy that player, even in lower leagues...

what I wrote already happened many years ago in another online manager game - Hattrick, believe me it will be the same way here if the same "solution" is implemented
