So I know very well about how to build a team for outside offense and what it does to the salary of your players. You can get an awesome defensive big built for outside offense that has a 70k salary and that will perform well in the top division.

I absolutely concur. I've got guys that are a step down from yours in quality for sure, but can defend competitively against NBBA caliber teams and occasionally even score (either on drives against zones or on jumpers/threes mostly against man defense). My deficiency right now is offense, because my guards are simply not at the caliber needed to carry an outside offense and until my recent purchase, who is still injured, I didn't have a real inside threat.

But whether it's LI or outside, it's quite possible to build a strong team by custom building the off position players (guards for inside team / bigs for outside) and then trying to fill the other spots with commodity players from the TL. The advantage for LI is that it's much easier to find players built for that, but the difference between "difficult to do" and "can't be done" is what makes the game worth playing.

I been here 13 seasons, how many season do I need. Hmm. Btw you don't 70K salary big to compete in top level 50k will suffice. build pf/c in differ way is not saying some is weak . Its well planning to change the landscape of BB in tactics and players made which the market truly does need.. LI Inside big are dime a dozen on BB, .Outside bigs are rare. Im talking about real natural pf not hybrid sf/pf. a natural Pf that can do it all. Btw I said nothing on defensive.. im talking a Pf that can score and defend and is not a hybrid.

Not my job to tell them BB staff what to do. Why should I they don't listen for one. I don't have that insider club to their ear. I'll tell you this much if I did none of the crap they are doing lately would have ever happened.

Its doing nothing for any one. show me? Utopia. what good it do beyond increase user numbers? ore ways to play ok..whoopty do. Why didn't they do the real work and fix tactics unbalance ment. Always looking for easy short cut to the answers, instead do the real hard work. In small bring the newpaper to fire place instead go outside and chop some wood for the winter.

I wont tell them anything , I have tried.. Since they have group to be in their ear with all damg answers, let them tell them,. Since I don't know anything. let them figure it out. Not my problem for real . All they doing is making the rich , richer. I got 3.2 million in team my bank account, I am about the money. I don't need to care about anything for real.

Since I understand what going on, Im being sincere and respectful of peer regardless of manager worth or level of play trying advocate for a balance game.. Is that a crime ? If you truly want some to just shut up and play then ill do like the rest, just log out don't come back.!!

Maybe you could buy him because high salary monoskilled players sell really cheap on the TL, but that doesn't get away the fact that you shouldn't have him... it doesn't make any sense, it will gradually kill your economy and I think the tax is a good way of avoiding teams doing so. -


My reply to that is.- Any player will kill your economy built or bought. I disagree in your point, who is to say, who you should have and you should not have in a manager's game. That is unfair play restriction in one way and not the next., Building a group of 18 yrs is the same buying a group of nt players. Both are super teams. Just because they did training should not give them a free ticket to lop side the game. My point.


I will expand on the point again to address your second valid view points.. If your going to the line above. That its fair to let some invest in roster in by their income. Then how can you say restrict players for a tax.? My point,

this way I asked of, would be better than a out right tax( 1-2nt players a team ). Because the tax don't see that your rebuilding. The tax don't see hard times. the tax don't care , its going penalize you.. If it unfair buy build super teams, then it unfair to be building five 18 years that nt caliber on the same team. because all five of 18 yr old can be on Nt is the skill is right and the country vary. Just because they built don't make it right. Its still preying on skill that some else lacks. Which is training.

I don't buying or building players is faster than one another. They both take a lot of time. To me the reward is the same. The title., Who get it longer, what does it matter.? That called bitterness not improvement or fairness

I dis agree with you in one sentence of last paragraph... with teams that buy, buy nothing on TL.. that is the wrong mentality. Teams that build, buy nothing on the TL on BB. Why should they if can build better? Buyers keep the TL alive not builders.

Its like this if had a farm with fruits vegetable and everything else. why would you go buy at the grocery store.? It defeats the purpose of your farm. If I don't have farm ,I have to buy. Why punish the buyer with a tax just because he buy and give farmer a free ride.. What happen is everyones get a farm and manipulate the climate for the money and not really for his team needs, but his money greed. That what we are seeing. which has nothing to do with uptopia.

In order to get more for your self you have to more with your self. This a lot are playing both avenues which increase prices . The simple fact is my revenue and need as BB manager are not as dire, as the next manager. this apply to every manager. Some may need 500K this week, and next man 35k.

Who said I spend foolishly the devs changed the damn game in the night. How it foolish to play the game how it was made to play for many season and build to that climate, then they change how it played. Please inform me.?


Training to afford tax, keep the rich richer. Its Trickle down economics. Plain and simple.

I have not bashed utopia., I don't just see what good it do beyond what you just said. money and more user numbers, beyond that what good does it do? Im not invest my RL money in to online game that is lop sided in tactics and switch the gameplay all the time on the fly . It almost like waste of time.


Btw Depend on the tactics played and skills ,50K-65 a week can get the job done at the top level. 70k week is kind of pushing it. if you pay for more .you should get more . but that not the case for Outside team. . LI is more 2pter than any other tactic. In my opinion its faster any tactic on the game. I have played run and gun with a 50-70k guards . Just to see if Li was faster and sure enough it is. In out side tactic, you don't get what you pay for.

Before addressing that specifically, on the concept of the tax, I'll just say that the NBA, NHL, NFL and MLB all have luxury taxes or salary caps, and that's just in the US. There's also all sorts of financial fair play rules in English football/soccer, including teams being penalized in the standings for financial reasons. And even beside that, it's a manager game - not an ownership game, and I can guarantee you that any manager at the league level of 99% of the teams in BB who proposed salaries that exceeded revenues by a significant amount would be flat out rejected by ownership or the board.

Back to that - part of the speed of the tactic is the quality of the opposing defense. Even Princeton, which is slower than the average cast member of the Jersey Shore, will still get shots off quickly for me if I run it in the early Cup rounds against a bot or a bad team. Likewise, often playing against LI I'll still see the opposition go late into the shot clock because my defense generally holds up well against that tactic.

Look you neglect to add there other things that are written to balance that tax they have it not direct like BB. it does not restrict who can you afford or have directly. it not based on training to afford. if that was the case LeBron would have never played in miami heat team and Joe Montana never for the chiefs ,.same as past players being traded and pick up via free agent market all across sports.. I have never seen a tax restriction stop a team from getting a attractive star. It has never happened. Jordan went to the wizards they didn't have salary to pay him. 30 million a year.

I don't like how some get their self heard and mess-up good game because they cant compete. Madd because they cant win a championship and lack money skill then pull some trianing to afford bull. My feeling is teams are going to train regardless. Training don't win everybody championships, it should not make the BB world go around, every man shouldn't be cut from the same cloth. Its boring. It take a lot of avenues to win a championship regardless if its a video game or real life.

okc thunder built a team, how many championship do they have?. maimi bought. spurs bought. dallas bought. celtic's bought. laker bought. ny ranger bought. Washington caps. bought. ny yankess bought. boston redsox bought. detriot tigers bought. All the adapt stuff is wrong to say.

How the hell do some say adapt after you already set things up. Then take people hard work away with a tax and train to afford rules , then expect them to stick around. Then don't want to hear nothing about it.. Its wrong, it sap the fun out the game. No body want to start over and play beat the tax.


Li is best tactic in the game because it beat every tactic in the 9-10 times. End of discussion for me, show me a tactic that has more championships used to it merits. defense be damed. There's no miss match needed to discuss, Li is just damn better built.

div 4 is no different than division 2. filled with more manager is the kicker. What are they playing.. Li. There for of course it going to be harder to promote. Who ever has the best Li team is going to promote and win.

Yes I have learned how to score more than 100pt every tactic thats outside. Its not hard to do the kicker is Li will out score regardless. GDP Is a slight prayer to win. I don't have a advantage over anybody because the fact is , it already was done before I got here on BB. I just read about it and tried it.



You don't even understand the rule. look no div 3 team and below can buy a million player nor afford his per week by new rules.. . Only the rich can. if someone build a beastly youth. That team cant keep him because of wage 85% of the time . They will sell him., why miss out on 1-2 million or more. Who has that kind of money the upper teams do. Who are the upper teams. The Rich.

Now every top league team is not rich. Alot are poor today just getting by. you know why. they had to rebuild or the new rule and the tax. Simple fact is the rich give money to the poor and the teams get better for both. In small the upper league give money to the lower. Which is Trickle Down economic. I didnt stuck by oet hard at all , as matter of fact. Never been in the red. I think it wrong to make people tear down their hard work and money paid in honesty play, for sake of a tax and other jealous ambition from others, because they have more money than they do. Its not right..

BB is dying a slow death... by having to read post after post after post of this. Kickers are in football. You (for the umpteenth time) can by a player for a million dollar bid but cannot buy one for a huge salary that a div 4 team can't afford. Div 4 is different than div 2. 4 is a different number than 2 last I looked.

Like someone wrote earlier, use your time to improve your team and stop blabbing. If you have 3 million or whatever you have - USE IT - or all you have is a crappy team with a lot of money and a crappy manager who is hoarding money and not improving your team.

Maybe I need to talk like you to get thru to you. Many time a someone tells you. How to improve you're team. 3 trainees, better arena prices. But you're posts just blah blah blah. that record is broke. but still it spin around and the speaker keeps playing the repeat music and people stuck listen to it day by day and paying too much tax. trickle down..
