BuzzerBeater Forums

Salutari from Moldova! (Hello from Moldova) my fellow BBeaters (this sounded cooler in my head).

I'm a new player returning back to the game after some years of inactivity, and I must say Buzzerbeater is still practically the same, with some good new additions that I noticed to training, and the now rumoured worldwide competition coming up.

Pretty excited with all this new stuff, it seems the developers are pouring much more love in the game nowadays and they want to take it forward, with all this said all this information and acquiring new information has been quite frankly, tiring.

I studied what's the best ways to make money here on BB, I remember if you bought 3 centers for 150-200k with atleast superstar potential, and you trained them during the season you could get around 400-500k profit in just one season.

So 3 centers at 150k bought totals 450k spent, if you train them for one full season with good trainers, and if you sell them each for atleast 600k you can net around 450k each, which means for 3 centers sold you'd get 1,35million aprox. in just profit.

So my question is, as a new team how do you maximize creating profits for the first 2-3 salary floorless seasons, I want to reach the Div.I in my competition as soon as possible.

I'm looking at this the following way

In 1 season, with 100k weekly profit, and selling 3 players for 450k profit each, and each season, that would mean

1 season profit = 14 weeks * 100k = 1,4million
PLUS 3 sold players for 450k profit each = 1,35million

TOTAL = 2,75million - 1 SEASON PROFIT
ESTIMATED 2 SEASONS = 5,5 million profit

Which is a quite good profit, but if you're looking to invest that money then, to reach the DIV I, I think I should spend around
1,5million - 2 million as a new team on the ARENA,
1 million GYM INFRAESTRUCTURE for trainees,
500k on superior TRAINER
TOTAL = 1,5mill + 1mill + 500k = 3Mill
5,5 - 3 = 2,5Mill profit only in 2 seasons after investing.

To get to DIV I this is nowhere near good enough, you barely invest in your team with it and advance much further than DIV I, MAYBE.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated, I just took a look at the state of my country here in BB and it's shameful to admit, but we're almost in LAST in the Country Ranking List. I dream here in BB to better my country standing, better and compete internationally with my team, better my NT as well and get them up the ranking list. Please help me achieve this, I'm very hungry to learn so if any seasonal veteran wants to coach me I'm completely open to it.

I would forget about training if I were you. That's the biggest mistake a new team could make IMO.

How I started out was that I kept my roster at a minimum (to take advantage of having no salary cap), put all my money into the arena. In no time, you would have a big arena with minimal costs. If you invest sightly in youths, you can also draft good players to sell by tanking and coming first in the draft. But I'm not too sure how that works out in the end.

I wouldn't start training unless I'm financially stable. I've been constantly at the 6-7m mark for the past few seasons and the only thing stopping me from earning more and taking on the big league is me recruiting a level 7 coach every now and then (the last one tool a big chunk of my finances tho).

Edited In:
To add onto this, I'm not exactly a TL whiz but player prices are pretty bad right now compared to whenever you stopped playing, and I don't think (unless you get a level 7 coach which should cost you 3-5m just to recruit, unless you're gonna pay him 80k a week or something) you're gonna flip a player for 400k in one season, let alone a monoskilled C. Also you might wanna factor in the cost and salary of your trainees and the coaches salary both which won't be factors if you weren't training players.

There is at least one more thing to consider in your calculations:
trainer and his salary. Good trainer costs a lot, and his salary is generally high...

it is impossibile you buy a 150k C and you sell him at the end of the season for 600k

if you buy him for 150k it means his potential is no huge and also skills are not so high....and for sure you won't sell a young C with low potential after only 1 season with 450k profit...

You are in a very weak league. Just don't take stupid decisions (like filling your locker room with lame centers) and you will be in div.1 in no time.

I totally understand where you're coming from, but I always trained for a profit, it didn't matter if I was training Guards, Forwards or Centers. Is it not possible to do the same today in BB? I just checked the TL and 18 year old centers with strong/proficient inside skills and decent potential atleast (Pereniall allstar or Superstar) are being sold for good money.

The plan would be this

Buy a player that meets the following requirements :

- 18 year old;
- 6'4 / 6'5 for imperial units, in normal units around 195cm more minimum;
- Potential Pereniall All Star minimum, preferably All Star or MVP to maximize profits:
- Superior Main Trainer minimum;
- Superior Youth Trainer minimum;
- Level 1 or 2 infraestructures cross training;
- Player with competent/respectable inside skills (Rebounding, Inside Shot, Inside Defense, Shot Blocking);

Taking in account that BB announced that from next season utopia is going to have a 2nd nationality for their drafted players, you will increase the pool of players available meeting those requirements.

So buying a player that meets those requirements between 200k and 400k would not be impossible, depending on potential and nation you could maximize your profit even more.

To guarantee total profit, for 2 seasons of training I think I could reach 1 mil profit on each player. Let's suppose this, and please correct me if I'm wrong but this is just my past experience, since the market doesn't seem have that much different prices compared to when I used to play.

continuation from my previous reply..
(I know the taller the player the faster he trains inside skills, please don't murder me for stating 195cm as minimum requirement haha)

Start of first season (let's take the most realistic and cheap example possible) :

Potential: Superstar
Inside Shot: respectable Inside Defense: respectable
Rebounding: competent Shot Blocking: competent

End of first season prediction, with the following training:

4 weeks Inside Shot
4 weeks Inside Defense
3 weeks Shotblocking
3 weeks Rebounding

18 year old
Potential: Superstar
Inside Shot: prominent Inside Defense: prominent
Rebounding: proficient Shot Blocking: proficient

Second season prediction with the same training model

19 year old
Potential: Superstar

Inside Shot: sensational Inside Defense: sensational
Rebounding: prolific Shot Blocking: prolific

A 19 year old player with superstar potential with these skills could go on for I assume, around the 1Million mark right?
Take into account an MVP player and he could go for more, probably around the 1,5Million mark I assume

Correct me if I'm wrong please, this is my conclusion after analyising the market thoughtfully and the new BB paradigm regarding to training, with the addition of infraestructures

In your opinion what would be best to train from 18 year old, guards or centers? Or forwards? What's the most profitable training type of player?

I've just researched and it seems that there is not a lot of difference between lvl 6 and lvl 7 coaches, only the price.

I just got a 33k salary superior (lvl 6 coach) for 200k I think that's good for the profit he could generate, thing is I read on the forums that the difference between a lvl 6 and a lvl 7 coach is just 3% in training, in a full season of training that would be about 1-2 pops difference I guess? So is it worth it even to have a coach like that instead of superior (lvl 6)?

What would recommend as a starting team to maximize all the profits I can take? Cheers for the reply mate

I've seen that you made quite a profit in your BB history, if it's no secret what kind of players do you look for in training in order to get the most of the profit, be it 1 season after or 2 seasons after

i don't trust in selling players after 1 or 2 season

i train players but at the moment training planning is scheduled for 4-5 season
