BuzzerBeater Forums

Finally new fair play rules have been published. Check from your financials page and move your mouse over the Overextension Tax text. It will show you very nice information. If I understood it correctly, this new feature will also encourage you to train your players. If salaries have been popping up because of your own training, then that raise is not calculated to your overspending amount. This will also reward teams who are training own players, not just surfing on the transfer list! 50% tax for overspending is remarkable! First feeling - very good work. This will add one new and important factor to the game!!!

Any other thoughts.

And just for info, I should pay 52k taxes

I love the new things that have been added. Training is now so much more important which also makes trainees much more expensive I think haha.

I think BB should consider adding cup games and B3 incomes into financial calculation. So I have -50000, but I can get that income from the cup, and it means that I am spending within my means, but know I will have to pay -25000. I had that kind of difference almost all last season and in last stages of cup I turned profit, but know all that profit will be wiped out.

Where can I find those smile icon?

[ :D] [ :p]

So, lets combine all feedback in this topic ;).

Best wishes for 2014 to all, and good luck in season 26!

Again: why I am being punished with overextension tax if my overall balance after cup game income is 0, why not include cup games in financial calculation?

Someone stole the recordholder for Steals from the league overview page..... what? There was never one?
So, why is this one record still missing? It would be nice to have this one besides the other four.

I welcome the Overextension Tax (OT) since I think this could be a game changer for the managerial team model. You can still argue if this change will have a bigger real impact when we introduce other factors, like the actually different BuzzerBeater game low-numer-of-teams countries and high-number-of-teams countries are playing.

But, overall, I think the OT is great. Maybe a little raw yet, but on paper looks impressive. Now, I have three ideas about it, maybe they could be debated and relayed to the GMs or BBs for future changes. Here they are:

Since the OT now makes the draft really really meaninful and valuable to ALL [some of us managers didn't need OT to know that and to build from draftees, whether national of international], I would suggest:

1.- Redesign the Draft Points system of price to make it a little cheaper: you see, regularly up until now, you basically invest little in draft, until you accumulate enough points; regularly, you had little financial room to just generate 4pts/$40000 every week of every season. but now, with a model going strong on teams-built-on-draftees, these will be hard to get. Plus draftees will go crazy in the TL. So, make cheaper the Draft Points.

2.- Redesing/Adjust the Trainer scale of salary: trainers with the same level have a more expensive salary than market-doctor staff. Perhaps get them to start lower, like doctors, or progress with slower rates than the others. Or even consider [not a fan of this, but could be] to just count a percentage of the trainer salary against the OT calculation.

3.- Besides from forcing a manager to pay at least 1 week salary off players bought from the TL just for a big game or playoff, also consider raising the tax fee from transactions and adjust its weekly progression [right now, at week 1 from the acquisition, it's at 79%]. This way, if a manager spent some big bucks on a one-and-done player, you make his immediate resell even tougher on his economy. You won't eliminate this type of poisonous manager, but at least you make his cycle of buy-sell a lot tougher.

Why did you remove previous league standings?

Love the both changes!

1. Salary limit: Love it because it will force dumb managers to play smart, simple as that.

2. Luxury tax: Love it because it will make training more important, and make the game more challenging.

Disclaimer: I don't like to call people dumb, but if someone is affected by the salary limit, well, he is dumb :)
