BuzzerBeater Forums

Hey guys,

I am relatively new to buzzerbeater, now played about 2.5 seasons. I'm starting to get a decent understanding of the game, however I was wondering how I could maximize my income on buzzerbeater to help build my team faster.
Right now I'm still building my arena to maximize earnings from there. My player salaries are well under the salary floor so I can limit my expenses as much as possible and I'm making about 170.000 a week profit, which I think is really good!

However I was wondering about what more you do to make money. What should I look for if I wanted to buy players to sell for a profit in a year.

I also tried to learn a lot about training but I kinda have a feeling that it's not as profitable as I thought it would be looking at the trainees I have trained so far. For example, I bought a player 263 day ago for 200.000 I trained him since than and now his worth is 300.000. Which for now is fine, especially because he is usable in my team for winning to and I;m under the salary floor anyway so he didn't cost me a lot on that part. However the profit is still really low and taking into account the costs for the trainer it's negative. I mean he is just 22 and his training is far from done yet, but still I imagined it to be a bit better. Now I'm kinda thinking if it wouldn't be better to just not have a trainer and no youth trainer as well to save 40-50k a week and just buy a player. How do you do this?

Any other money making methods I missed?

the best way to make money is to be part of a country with a small community, then it's easy to promote and play first or second divisions, which grant a very nice and steady flow of cash via TV, merchandising and attendance, to your economy. i really envy someone playing for 2.5 seasons and making 170k/week of profit without much effort, actually you shouldn't even bother doing anything, just wait for the $$$ and be happy

Haha thanks of that's all I can definitely do that.
Yeah I't's kinda lucky that I'm able to get into division 2 so easily and make money that way to be competitive. But still I read a lot about the training aspect to make a profit from that but i'm either doing it wrong or it's just not that profitable.

Building your arena is the easiest way to make money and your stadium looks in pretty good shape considering you’ve been playing for 2.5 seasons. I’d continue to invest most of your weekly profits into that and once it’s around the 19k mark, you could be in a position to compete in the highest league.

Merchandise is another way of making good cash. The most profitable way of doing this is by having national team players. Obviously this comes at an expense but I make roughly 30-40k+ a week if my players play for England.

You’re right in what you say about training. When there were 30k+ users, you could make profit quite easily on a trainee over a few seasons but now with the numbers reducing, it’s nowhere near as easy to make players who benefit your team and quick cash. Training is the best part of the game in my opinion so I’d never not do it but if you’re not training, you could easily save 40-50k+ a week. You could make trainees that would be worth money, such as guards with 20 OD and a salary of <15k as managers at the highest level would want these as backup players.

I will give you a thorough answer when I will have a little bit more time

Just need to ask a few questions, if you want to reply in bb mail feel free to do it

. What is your cash savings as of now?
. Have you invested into infraestructures? If yes which ones and which level
. Have you got main coach and junior coach for training? If yes how much salary each
. What is your long term goal (5 seasons)
a) Promotion and stability in the First Division
b) Promotion into First Div. with trainees
c) Training players for the team
d) Training players for the u21NT / main NT
e) Profiting of training players in 5 seasons
f) other (write which one(s))
For this one you can answer multiple but try to pick which ones suit your gameplan philosophy more

Thanks
Yeah i'm putting almost everything I have into my stadium so that going pretty well. And because I promoted last season and am doing a decent job this season so far I'm making 350.000 a game from tickets while the league average is just 274 186.

The national team players one is a good tip that might be the next thing I'm going to target.

About the training: Yeah I had that feeling.. That's a shame, for me I just want to make as much money as I can so I can compete at the highest level as possible. I like the training part to but it has to be something to think about for me now. I have a good 19 year old trainee with mvp potential who might be able to get into the u21 team which is great so I might try to do that. But right now i'm also thinking of selling him and firing my trainers so yeah.

Thanks I send you a bb mail

My suggestion is to wait a while before to fight seriously, if you really want to make money. You've to learn how to mix the weekly income/costs and be competitive at the same, you've to expand your arena and in which players to invest for train them re-selling with profit.

Question mark, cause I've never played in this way, is having one of the strongest teams in your country, for sure you'll have more revenues from arena and better merchandising so maybe it could be possible to make money in this case too (if you still are able to respect salaries vs incomes)

I agree with that. My goal isn't to promote this year immidiately that would be to hard. Though I'm trying to make my team better with buying some players at the right time. I want to stay in this league and be competitive enough to maximize fan earnings. And I think I'm doing that. I'm also still well below the salary floor. My player salaries is 144.000 and the floor is 244.000
Right now i'm also still training players but i'm not sure if it's worth it to keep doing this.
The second option is what I'm going to try to do starting next season probably when my arena is maxed out (or nearly maxed out) I'm going to buy some players to play at the top of this league while still being below or just above the salary floor and trying to get to the next league doing the same.

If you’ve been playing for more than 24 weeks (which I believe you have), there’s no benefit to being under the salary floor as you’ll still pay the salary floor fee as opposed to your actual salary fees. This will allow you to build a better team thus winning more games and acquiring better attendances for your home games.

Yes, that was my first thought.

What I would suggest:
Buy some good skilled veterans (33/34+), stay below the salary floor and if you promote "by mistake" just grab the money but strictly follow your training plan!
