BuzzerBeater Forums

Since the BB's first introduced this global self-tuning salary mechanism, it was stated that salaries would rise or fall depending on how the global economy was doing. I have suspected (known, really) for weeks that the salaries would drop, based on the fact that triple sensational centers are now selling for 2 or 3 million bucks on the TL. People have less money to toss around, meaning the economic equilibrium measures are working. In my opinion people who didn't see this coming are not paying much attention.

Its hard to understand what you are trying to do with the economy, when there is only 6 sentences talking about the increase of the salaries(at the begining of season 12) and now 4 sentences telling we will have lower salaries. The translation is ok, but the information that the managers we read is really low, unless someone reads the english global forum(and most of the spanish users dont). So yes i said it some months ago on the first change of the salaries, some more information would be nice.

Anyway that now i see what economic model you are trying to do based on the trainings i will keep my thoughts for me. Just what worries me, is that the transfer market needs to be more regulated, its the most affected thing with the changes of the salaries and if this will happen at least for some more seasons, i doubt we will have a balanced market, were the offer&demand is really far from balanced. The little Wall street of BB ;)

If the BB's only say a little bit people complain that there is not enough information given. If they say too much they run the risk of their statements not becoming true and people complaining: "But you said this was going to happen". They gave us a heads up while limiting what they said as I'm sure until the season is actually over they do not know exactly the % that salaries will be adjusted by.

You have to remember that BB is still very young. The market itself has not fully developed and wont be for a long time. Players have not been fully filled out and these adjustments are to keep the market reasonable as the BB's see how this game develops. Even when the market is developed I doubt that it will be balanced as there will always be changes effecting what is in demand and what is not. I don't think this change was hard to see coming and I feel more members have to be ready for changes. If the game stayed exactly the same season after season it would slowly fall apart and these changes are to preserve and improve the game we love so much.

I dindt say BB's lie, i just disagree about this economic model, thats all.

Anyway, thanks for posting the information and arguing about this new ''change'' that was announced, i really appreciate you post to comment it.

PD: Yes probably i read them(I usually read all), but i cant remmber the ''probably'' changes that the game will have or at least not all of them.

Thanks.

So we have to anticipate salary changes every season or the game will fall apart?

In Hattrick that has not happened and they have a few more users than us.

I look forward to my ban for disagreeing with you.

but hattrick has also problems with Salary monsters, in this game the top players earn what clubs could pay ;) This makes the NT more intresting, because NT players are maybe not the best deal but you could buy them without going bankrup and also this is a bit more realistic.

The concept is similar (but not an exact replica) to the NBA's system:

The actual amount of the cap varies on a year-to-year basis, and is calculated as a percentage of the League's revenue from the previous season; for instance, in 2007-08, the NBA's salary cap was approximately US$55.63 million per team, and for the 2008-09 season it was $58.68 million.

Right, and that's why we had to live through a deflation period where all players lost 80% of their value. Such a problem, coincidentally, is yet to happen in BuzzerBeater.

You can either try and anticipate them or simply react. The BB's give fair warning of how they think the game will progress.

Hattrick is also in its 41st season, BB is in its 12th. I'm sure Hattrick has had to make many adjustments when they first started and still make tweaks along the way. They have had major issues once their membership began to stagnate and realize their economic model had stagnated, thus causing them to have to rework the economy and create a big "scandal".

BB will continue to develop and change in the future depending what the BB's see and determine is best for the game as a whole. We can either accept those changes or not, but either way they will happen.
