I like the new changes :)

Only one questions... teams in the BB's Best are going to play 4 games per week?
And all games count for the training and the next week game shape?

It would seem a 4 game week.. but im also unsure if it will be arcade mode or count towards overall minutes.

one word: excellent!

I will only need 2 clarifications

- Fan enthusiasm changes: You wouldn't be too happy with your favourite team if they sold or traded one of your favourite players, would you? Similarly, your BuzzerBeater team's fans won't be happy if you frequently sell their favourite players.

So is you enthusiasm level affect everytime you sell someone (even if it is a player who has not touched the ball in the entire season?) or only the fans favourite player (in which case how do we know who they are?) + frequently means what exactly in this context?

Playoff Enthusiasm changes (...)]These changes will first go into effect for every game played during our next new feature, which is...

I don't understand this sentence, is there anything missing?
Edit: so basically new enthusiasm rules will not only apply for the PO's (as suggested in the title) but also for the BB best games... or I am mistaken?

Can't wait for the draw! sadly my country will be represented only by me :-( Can I get 3 matches? :-)) (just joking)

Depends how much game shape effect player value. The big hit to day traders cant go fishing for a real high price as easy. Everytime a player is listed (sale or not) they're GS will drop. So if someone is just listed twice to get sold, theyll still end up dropping 4 levels in GS, which is quite a bit.

Any and all changes that are meant to limit (or eliminate) daytrading are welcome in my opinion. So i really like the new changes.

Hopefully we will stop seeing players put on the transfer list at ridiculously high prices.

could have the reverse effect.. people scared to list high and then the players if listed at the wrong time dont get enough competing bidders

first thing i thought about was that i was glad I upgraded (sold weaker players, added younger starters) recently cause i'll be a lot more cautious listing players now.

there's been a lot of people listing players over and over at high prices, this should put a big dent into those.

there is value out there if you look at the dross that changes hands for 500k nowadays.. the 2mil players IMO are worth 2mil but how many teams actually have the cash to splash out the 2mil?

despite getting a leg up in the game for DT for a while Im growing more and more attached to my players (and looks like i'll be getting even more attached!!)

it will be an interesting week i think before the change is implemented... a lot of dead wood appearing on the market and at the end hopefully a more settled market with roster consistency....

I really appreciate the intention but i think BB's have chosen a wrong way:

First: Day traders don't use the players so a drop in GS won't hurt them, the player value would drop a little but that's not really a problem. On the other hand many managers are focused on matches, training and winning and less on the market (or they are rookies) that will be a real problem: if they put a minimun too high they will get a GS drop (even if they just try to sell one or two players per season) so they will put a low minimun for daytraders benefit.

Second: The income for daytrading is far greater than arena income: they can have 0 season ticket holders and don't be hurt at all, but for a team that want to sell several players (eg: changing training and/or playing style as I'm planning to do) that will be painful

Since I learned last season not to sell just after the draft (yes the hard way ), I was waiting two or three weeks for selling my centers and PF's , but now i can't
I just have two options:
a) sell now with thousands of teams doing the same <ironic>daytraders will be really dissapointed with this market flood</ironic>
b)keep my plans and sell after may 15th and lose my fans

Well, I know i'm so dammed good playing at this that BB's have to do their best to put me in trouble. Congratulations: you made it

it will be an interesting week i think before the change is implemented... a lot of dead wood appearing on the market and at the end hopefully a more settled market with roster consistency....

and lots of good players sold a very low prices because of there are not enough cash for buying them all.
Mmm let me think.. who have got tons of cash and will benefit for this flood? day traders
Free agents floods have taught nothing?

And you really have a point for complaining...
