Well maybe you can stick around a little more before wanting to change everything to ease your management. BB is a marathon, not a sprint.

This suggestion has been discussed many times and very good reasons against it has been raised. You can search for those threads if you want.

The best reason is "you are willing a certain sum for this player, pay it".


Do you think top-notch coaches are asleep when they are signing a player. I don't think so. :P

It's okay to suggest things. But before that you should thoroughly search for the same topics in the suggestion forum. It's not really interesting to constantly go over the same points about - autobids, player trades, set minutes per game, money for scrimmages, player loans etc, the list is long. No points in creating the same threads weekly or monthly. If you have read the other suggestions and have a new approach then be my guest, but this is still yanking the same tree.

I've already answered that. See previous messages on this thread.
BTW, in this answer I basically proved that your claim here is so wrong.
You didn't searched the thread, searching the all folder is not shorter...


This game should not have too many automatisation options. If injuries happen set this lineup, if trainee get's injured switch training automatically. Eventually this suggestion comes down to the "what are you willing to pay" to get this player. I have bought players with setting the alarm clock at 4 am. I have bought players bidding the amount I was willing to pay, knowing I was not going to be near comp at the end time of the auction. Sometimes bidding high early will eventually get you the player cheaper as it will lessen the intrest of that particular player. In the end it's better to bid against 1-2 users than 17 as bid wars tend to raise the players price significantly.

Again I've already answered that... See previous messages on this thread.

I have read all your posts. There is nothing new in this suggestion that has not been suggested before.

Well, first the coach is not the one who makes the deal.

Second, in the real world the deal is not being set by an auction.

Third, there is no reason giving users who can come up early an advantage.
By that you are causing that users may leave the game, as the game cannot being played fairly from their POV.


"Automation" is not a word that should not be spoken of...

Activity pays off in an online game. So there IS a reason to give guys who are more active than others a benefit.

Maybe someone should start accepting other opinions than his own, instead of negating any possibility there are any?

Even the initial poll is not showing a clear need for the autobidding, nor has there been any flat out convincing points why the game AFTER the invention of this auto-bid thingy is any better than now. It will be different, slightly, but not to a degree where you can speak of a clear advantage, and there are plenty reasons to believe it will be actually worse...

1) As I've already wrote, there is still some advantage also in auto-bid system.

2) Currenlty the game is mainly aimed to users who can play it whenever they can, by that less potential users will play it.

3) This game is not about being active.
It is about managing a team.
A better manager is not defined by the time you have to spend playing it.

4) On current auction system without auto-bid you can change the name and purpose into:
BA - Be Awake!
As this factor is one of the most dominant factors in the game and it should not be so.

1) By definition this game is dedicated for the majority of users and the plan of the game creator is that as much of users will play it.
The majority of people cannot play whenever they want.

2) Playing whenever you want does not make you a better manager and frastrate the others who can't and who may leave (or left) the game.

3) Automation is not a word that should not be spoken.

4) The game does not test how flexible your time is.
It tests and was created to simulate the manging skills of a basketball team.

a thing with the autobidding system which wonders me all the time, that it is always discussed and suggested coexisting to the current bidding system.

Personally i think both system have their advantages and disadvantages(bidwars are sometimes fun for me), but i don't think that it would be fun for me to bid against the "system" where i know that it won't forget to bid and none of my trys to win a bid war through the placing time of a bid might work.

Another point who might play a role here, are the money gained by ads during a bit war with non supporters.

in this case the auto bid is useless, and you should go for bidding the amount you like to py for early.

But if it isn't considered as fun to bid against a bot, there is imho no way of coexistenting of both. And as i said i think both system have there ups and downs.
