in ebay you bid 10 bucks early, but only pay 5 bucks when you don't find someone who bids more then that.

In BB with this proposal you will pay ten from the beginning, and in the end you just had to outbid at the end of the bidding arena, and nobody could react so if you wait long you could get a pretty good deal.

Yeah I know this and that was what I meant by "changing this system would be difficult" - I meant BB system to current ebay system. I think these are the only two real possibilities how to create meaningful bidding system - either you set 3 minutes or you set maximum bid system. And if BBs change this system, they would have to change to ebay system and that would be dificult I guess. And moreover and I cant see any reason why they would do this.

the ebay system won't come, they like the activity aspect which is maybe also good for the ad income where ebay gets money for high bids who they maybe spend to advertise sneakers here^^(don't know it exactly, i don't see ads)

yea...but on ebay people know how much that thing is worth..
...and they wount bid no more(perheps somethin more)...
...in BB we buy what we want......
...so let my ask you...a player with legendary jump shot is in market...the bidding ends in 11 am. tomorow(there isn't no ext.)...what do you do???...well i'm shure you waunt overslept it...

The 3 min time ext has killed me this week.... "thumbs down" to that.

SIMPLE WAY TO FIX THIS DEBATE-

Give the seller an option on how their auction goes.

Option #1 current system, or the 'standard' option.

Option #2 Seller set's a 'Buy-out' option. This is a large sum that they will accept a immediate sail of their player for that amount. So lets say they set the min bid for 2000 and the buyout for 10000. You can bid and hope to get the player cheap or buy him now for 10000. otherwise the bidding process works like option #1.

Option #3 The max value option. The auction is for 1 week with a 1 week extension everytime the bid is updated. In this case you have 1 week to go in look at a player and make a bid if the current bid is in your price range.

Option #1 is for your average seller who wants to make money, but relatively soon (they are determined to get rid of said player).

Option #2 is for sellers who just want to get rid of the player as fast as possible.

Option #3 is for sellers who only want to sell their player for exactly what he is worth.

Buyers will love browsing the option 2s, rarely consider option #1s and respect the option 3s.

Great players will be sold via option 3 fairly. Lebron James would be an option 3 sale.

Like in the NBA or any other major professional sports league players of different values are handled differently and the amount of effort put into selling and buying them is different.

and stuff.

The bidding system atm is fine. Nothing you have proposed will make it better, it will make it chaotic.

exactly bidding system is fine... stop trying to adapt the game to you , you should adapt to the game

Not that it needs to be mentioned. With instant transfers etc. You could check youre opponents team 1h before the match and end up playing another roster all together:D I will "loan" some great players for that one match, sell them back to them after the match and noone will notice. Hell I don't even have to pay salaries.
I urge everyone to think a week about theyr suggestions before posting one. You need to put the ups and downs on the paper. If the suggestion still seems decent after a week of pondering about it, then be my guest and post it.

These will not happen - it makes cheating too easy.

Nobody can accept that - it would make buying players too confusing.
