So u want to overpay ALL the time instead of possibly getting a decent deal on players? Cool, Knock yourself out with that!


I never said that I want to overpay. I want to pay fair market value. You want to rip people off by getting guys for under market value. It seems to me that's what you're saying.


But some of the rest of us might not want to grossly overpay for our players. Especially the guys that are just starting out trying to build a team w limited funds. Your concept might be ok for a mid-high tier team, but the lower tier teams don't have $$$ pouring out the doors of our area and we are looking for the best deals possible.


So what you're really looking for is a system where new users can get their players for cheaper than what us "old" users pay for them? You don't want to earn your way to the top like everyone else?

Finally, the transfer system used by BB is not my concept - the first time I saw it was in Hattrick but I'm sure it has been around for longer than that.

ray461 I can see that you are new to this game so just get used to it, because changing bidding system would be nonsense. I think this system is perfect at the moment.

The actual bidding system is good, but improvable. Maybe letting bid only to the managers who made a previous bid on time or something like this, because sometimes you are bidding against other manager and a third manager, who didn´t make a bid before trade deadline, starts bidding.

Then that would be not equal to everyone, every manager should have the right to buy and sell any player at any time. I can't see any problem with this bid system. And also I don't think that accurate value in the market can be calculated like many of you require.

What i defend it´s that every manager has the option to bid for a player, but on time; after trade deadline, only the managers who made a previous bid.
About market value i think it´s ok, if you pay x$ for a player, this player´s price is what you have paid for him. No problem with this.
Best regards

This definitely is not changing to an eBay-style system, where the last lucky user to bid gets the player, it will never work that way.

Well I don't think that could fix that, I mean e.g. if I bid 1k for the player, other manager bids 2k and so on so there'll be lots of managers who can fight after the deadline, same with the fixed price at the beginning of the bid e.g. 200k or else.

I think that´s the way BB bidding system works, the last manager bidding gets the player

I mean e.g. if I bid 1k for the player, other manager bids 2k and so on so there'll be lots of managers who can fight after the deadline.


That´s ok, no problem. I think that´s perfect. What doesn´t seem just to me it´s to bid for a player after initial deadline if you didn´t bid before.

Fixed price could be a nice idea too. You put a player on the market, fix his price and if a manager comes and pays that price, player sold.

I just can't see the problem with this bid system, and I couldn't read any serious problem from your posts. No offence :)

Ich bin ein schnäppchenjäger :D

Beats my old phrase which was ein kugelshreiber....

Keep the system as it is. Simple as that.

Everybody want to end the bid quicker and get the player at the minimum without 3 more minutes of trouble.
But, its an open market.
Everybody has a chance to out bid anybody.
If u don't want to wait, u can give ur best shot (max bid) and see if the others match.
A fix time system, will only award the lucky bid not the highest bid.
