The creation of Utopia has been a very bad decision.
The price of many players (players that most of the teams have in their roster) has raised x4 or x5 times. One of the most difficult things in BB is the economy, so finally BB is killing itself. It is very difficult if you want to start with a new team and you have to pay at least 1 M for make a "good" team, and i´m not talking about training, scouting, arena...
The market has a lack of players, so why BB can not put some more players for trading? That is: BB can create players and sell them as free agents, so they can balance the market.

Hey.

I'm here writting a couple of ideas I have that could improve the game itself.

1. Removing Game shape training and create a training tutorial or topic

I think removing the Game shape from Training would obligate the owners to get rookies and train them to increase the number of players in market and reduce the price of them which is too high right now, if you want to buy a decent player between 23-29 yo, you'll have to pay a lot because the majority of the users only use Game shape training and others dont know how to train their rookies. The remove of Game shape will make the owners more aware of the minutes the players should do per week and not make them play +120 minutes and still being in perfect shape from the training.

2. Deliberate Federations

The Federations have the potential to make new users earn interest about Buzzerbeater and this feature could use aswell the Mentor system like some users here supported that idea. But, this idea will only result if you make it free. Yeah, you read it correctly, the developers of Buzzerbeater should understand the users and what made them join the Supporter's family. You should release one feature when a new one arrives to make a rotation and gain more supporters because they would be like "Wow, these free features are so nice, but if I buy the Supporter package, I will gain more and the game will be more interesting", it is like "I got one free candy, but if I buy the whole package, I will gain ten candies instead of one".

3. Reduce Season duration.

Well, my idea for this topic is to inscrease the number of games per week, probably just add 1 more league game ,instead of 2+1, would be 3+1 like NBA season. This will decrease the duration of an entire season and don't make the game boring. The reduce of the duration will help the users to not get bored and help the training of their rookies, because to get a top level NT player in Buzzerbeater, you'll need like 10 seasons to make it, and that represents 3/3,5 years in real life. It is too much time to train a top level player, that's why they are a small number and when they are on market, the prices are excessive.

Nothing more to add, I'll wait for your opinions.

Cheers

EDIT: changed Game shape training. thanks jonte.

Salary floor is way too low. Make it between 50-100% higher to discourage tanking. The gaps in salary between top and bottom teams will still be significant but it will; make tanking much less profitable

1. Removing Game shape

i guess you meant: removing game shape training.

I would like to see other solution - make fans react much more for several losses in a row.
So without exact calculations -
2 games lost in a row -> 90%
3 games lost in a row -> 80%
4 games lost in a row -> 60%
5 games lost in a row -> 40%

That would hit also tanking quite much!

True. And although I will have to rebuild my team next season (want to come back to training 18yo players) so will lose a lot of games, I still would like to see those changes introduced

I think the game is beyond the point of no return, there are like 25k users left and developing an app won't save the day, especially with a fucked up economy like this.
