BuzzerBeater Forums

Sorry guys was out of town for almost a eek plus just got back and checked everything out!! Nice forum post by all you guys!! Good to see it alive in here.
Diamant good game last night. Close one
Yeah i dont thin any of my guys deserves the MVP ..its team ball all the way..Floyd will win is my guess.
You never know.

Happy Playoffs everyone! Good luck!!

With the Lords tanking most of the season this is the Final 4 that I expected to see. The Lords did spend $3.4 million on 4 very good players toward the end of the season and they gave Clawz a scare in the playoffs.

Clawz came close to winning it all a few times with 7 straight Final 4 appearances but injuries came at the wrong time and this could be their season.

Rhino made some good money from the sale of several players and they put it to good use in building up a very strong roster with a 248k payroll.

Uthinkuknow has the best record with the highest PD and that valuable home court advantage throughout the playoffs.

Diamantes are in the Final 4 for the 4th sraight season but the Great 8 Champion went on to win the championship the past 2 seasons.

Josh Floyd was not the MVP because his former team EMPORIA LAKERS went bot and Floyd no longer plays in this league.

Matteo Salatino was a surprise selection who is a fine center but he did not put up great numbers while surrounded by 3 other All-Stars. Uthinkuknow would still be in the Final 4 without him.

The algorithm seems to be very skewed. Josh Floyd (my former draftee) should not have been the MVP either as his team wasn't competitive enough. Medrono should have really gotten the award. He carried that team to the playoffs.

All-Stars and MVPs are not necessarily the best players but the players who put up the best numbers.

Around here a player can play for a last place team and still be MVP if he puts up big offensive numbers like Josh Floyd did. The game engine does not look at how a player's team performs. If Floyd was still here he would get my vote because of his MVP numbers and the value to his team. Floyd led the league in both scoring and in steals, was third in assists, and fifth in player efficiency.

As far as value to his team it would be Joe Medrano for his contribution to a team that tanked most of the season. Medrano was the league's leading rebounder, second in player efficiency, and third in blocks. He did not get much help from his teammates because their good players were sold early in the season for $4.4 million.

Matteo Salatino is a fine All-Star center who had the highest player efficiency in the league, was fourth in blocks, and fifth in rebounding.

What I don't understand is how did Juri Paju finish second and Astur Sits fourth while Joe Medrano did not get a single vote for MVP.

Welcome!

Rhinos made it out of here in only 4 seasons. It was only the 2nd time in the last 8 seasons that the champion came from the Big 8. With a payroll of $248k Rhinos had to win now to be able to afford their payroll. Their only problem is that they have a 9,500 arena that is too small by Div III standards.

Too many teams were winning championships with huge last minute payrolls that Buzzerbeater created an over-extension tax.

We have a salary floor but not a salary cap. Our over-extension tax is based on negative income without regard to salaries. Our league average is negative income which means that teams can be penalized for losing money without having a large payroll.

The following teams have large arenas with low payrolls that are probably making more money than if they got promoted to Div III:

Indianapolis Icers - 35,050 arena, $111,679 payroll
Sioux Falls Rough Riders – 22,925 arena, $80,269 payroll
Hardmoney Outlaws – 20.795 arena, $59,509 payroll
Crocodillians – 14,042 arena, $68,118 payroll
Los Angeles Lords – 15,315 arena, $61,144 payroll before their late spending spree
