Banks are not the same as the stock market.

Mentioning that the difference between the two is irrelevant in this case highlights the original point he was trying to make, I think. BB is a basketball, not financial, manager game, nor is BB Second Life. Your suggestion is akin to starting a BB lottery and opening BB casinos in order to generate new sources of BB income. The common theme is that none of these things have to do with basketball.

I agree with you 100%. We could add a BB bank, a BB stock market, a BB casino, a BB insurance company, a BB Stock Broker staff member etc. But just maybe something related to basketball would be better.

sorry but booooo this idea.
We need work on GE and skills.

Boo to you too.
P.S. Suggestion for you: spell "the" properly in your posts!!!

Many people have English as their first language. We do as good as we can.
Btw.: On this side of the ocean we do not use three !!! just because we feel like speaking with CAPS LOCK on. Modest as all Norwegians are ...

I agree that given this is made for basketball that we shouldn't take it into a game of finance & business management. We should get people to see its basketball here and that's what we should focus on. Creating a bank would make it seem like this is also a business management game when it should be just a basketball manager game.

BUT BUT BUT, I will give Rebel credit and I think others should too, it's an interesting idea that I wouldn't consider garbage. Some people throw ridiculous suggestions but his was legit.

His was legit but what new feature do you think will turn on people that want to play a basketball game more?

BB Bank, BB stockmarket and BB Casino.

or

Customisable Uniforms for your team, the ability to design the floor of your arena which would show up in your home games in the viewer, a youth development team, new specialisations for your staff, new types of staff and league stats page (like at BBstats with salaries etc).

By mistake I phrased the sentence wrong and made it sound like we should in addition add business management game. So to be clear again NO i'm against it, we should focus only on basketball manager game here so I'm with you 100% on that comment. I edited the last message since so it would be clearly understood.

Anyways the main point of me writing that message was try to be nice to Rebel cause he got more crap about it than he deserved but I had to pretty much repeat what others said to make sure people see that I don't agree we should have bank here but it was an interesting idea.

Its quite common that sport clubs are some kind of public limited corporations at the same time. So the volume of cash available pretty much depends on theirs reputation (share is cheaper or more expensive).

Something like this is part of the game through arena revenue etc, so you get the money for results. As for investments in the bank for some kind of revenue just like that, its not a good idea, because might happen that best profit from that will have just teams with more cash available and I personally would prefer the way to sell everything, have some crappy team with training alive and enjoy all my money with bank account.

So if there can be any kind of economy thing in addition "to do", it has to be something probably like combination of both. So you can bet your available money for the results in the future, depends on how risky situation is, better revenue you get. Otherwise it doesnt make sense.

Oh and possible profit has to decrease if your team stagnate in the same league or for the same cup results or like that. Seems now kind of complicated.
