Nope. I think the silliness comes from FIFA. Someone in Zurich either doesn't understand the word "under" or can't count. Unfortunately, one error has now infested numerous games (see Hattrick as well).

I think while it could be called silly, it's also convention, and using the standard convention stops a lot of confusion via consistency.

I agree with JuicePats. Following convention is the best way to go. And although this is a basketball manager, following a convention from soccer is not a bad idea since soccer is widely considered to be the most popular sport in the world (many references on wikipedia). And plus, in an international game U doesn't really stand for "under" if you are not an english speaker :D

your telling me there isnt a demand for quality players here?

i dont want to start a arguement again, but its already crazy to see that a transaction could reach 10 million or more just for one player in a game that is just 5 seasons old.

if you cant see the gap getting wider then i cant say much anymore.

as i said im shock to see this happening, before i get trainees with 5 respectales and a few average and few atricous and all but i get to buy him on a bidding war and win below 1 million. now i can even see them reaching close to 2 million!

tell me if we could get the market to reach a point wherein the average talent would have skill of average or respectable or so, wouldnt be the buying price of this players go down since we got tons of em in the market.

now with this, if lower divisions can get a hand on this type of players since they dont command salaries reaching 8-10 g's i think they can manage themselves better yet improve this players more surely this help them win games or improve their overall performance but if it would come to a time they can sustain their teams expenses hola! that player is in the trade market much better , more quality and guess what now we see his true value :D

oh oh!

speeding up the training i didnt meant by going all the way,

let me be clear what i only meant is the skill level from atricious to probably average or respectable :D

mediocre wouldnt be bad

then from that point on! it goes to a normal speed of training.

as i said, im a basketball player before and during high school, during my grade school i stand 5 foot 10 and plays center. and my worst is i cant dribble the ball well especially with my left hand ( im right handed ), to a point they devise plays for me that i dont need to dribble anymore that much that i just lay it on the back board.

when i reach high school i grew only an inch, and i have to adjust till i was playing small forward sometime but before that i got number of hours dribbling, when i started really training my dribbling skills its only a few hours that i got a rhythm for my left hand to follow and i can ran using my left hand, then couple of more days i can go at ease speeding up. but the hardest part is learning to really having a cross over and behind the back dribble to the even between the legs using the left hand.

I agree with JuicePats.

I'm bronzing this post.

This sounds quite unfair for small BB countries like Cyprus? Teams in their first league play mostly with 5000 spect. arena? How do you think they can ever develope their teams with new rules?

They cant.
Which sucks.

oh my

shouldnt the bb give smething to this kind of situation

maybe by upgrading their arena?

btw cyprus has more users than japan, so they can at least reach this level(53418)

It has been this far quite easy to upgrade arena (to get money for that). Not any longer in the future if you already are in first league of your country and your arena capacity is only 5000 spectators. Such teams are also in Japans JBBL.

And you should note that this is third BB season in Japan but only the second in Cyprus. You have had one season more time to develope your team and arena than they have.

so they already wasted a season. bad management
and what did they do with all the money from tv games last season? don't tell me they had problems paying their 60k overall salaries...

The problem teams are the ones who have religiously thrown large sums in their arenas starting in Season 1, not the teams who came into existence, say, midway through S3. However, the new measures do not make a difference between these two categories.

I actually think it is excellent management not to start to expand the arena at day 1, since you can gradually increase prices.

Of course, no-one had advanced knowledge that the attendance formula will be changed to favor huge arenas, but gate receipts will be taxed. This is a severe overhaul of the status quo, which totally kills teams who chose not to invest every free dollar in seats.

I don't think it is fair to those teams to put them in a vicious circle where they have the crowd to fill a larger arena, but no cash to expand since their income is being heavily taxed. I find this unforeseen and hardly equitable.
