What?

They say train??. How in the hell am im not training.? I had the same pg pg since season 15, the same pf since season 17 and etc saving every cent like it was last damn real life dime

Yeah, and that PG that's been on your roster for all those seasons makes a whopping $6,084 per week, while the PF makes $6,130 / week. You do understand the difference between "training" and "sitting on your roster", right?

I won't bother trying to address most of the rest of what I imagine you were trying to say, other than saying that if you're not losing money each week you won't be taxed and the usual disclaimer about the fact that you personally can't build a team to be effective in a certain style doesn't mean that it can't be done, no matter how highly we all value your tactical acumen and strategic insights.

Eather than dwell in the matte,r we make petty jokes how professional.. Thanks for the feed back, Keep doing a wonderful job keeping Bb in the gutter of laughter on serious matter and in the sunshine. I didnt come here to laugh. I came to because this is wrong.

That's your problem everything a said joke. You need to look around you no is laughing, they are leaving.

Then prove it wrong. Built out side shooting team and win B3.

If your blind to the fact I got my pg in the draft 10 season ago at 2200 salary and 10 season later 6k Week.. Show me what I win with that?

The sad thing this rule is for sellers. Good team are being punished for sellers abuse, which lead to whole array of other issues on the BB game Like tactic salary to have. I think you missed that bus(point).. This why I back it up for to get on.


I'm sure you don't want get into that because again, ill send you to your stop with all your bags.. But on topic this taxing is petty. If they are going punish sellers punish them directly not every single person on the game. That where my beef is.

If I'm over the cap then let me manage that. They are neglecting skills in price to have to run certain tactics. If you think it cost cheap to run Iso shooting , then have a good day in debt

Pretty sure nobody is winning with a 6k guard they trained up from 2k over 10 seasons.

I wouldn't say EGM-Perpete was joking. I've had enough different foreign languages and dealt with enough different people to be extremely good at being able to understand people who have English as a second/third language, and "sentences" (and I use that word very loosely here) like the one below look like gibberish that happens with Google translate. (Fun times alert: take some text, translate it from one language to another to another and back to the original and it'll likely be garbled beyond recognition!)

Because team paying a lot more for player/trainers than what they are worth, How you going to tax someone on team training management and the trainers never improve but price increase?

It's hard to intelligently discuss what you're saying when there's such difficulty involved in just trying to figure out what that is.

Bingo.. I got him in the draft.. My whole point is valid. Tactic need a certain amount of skill to be played, this leads to buying players, which everyone s doing. Now they are going to tax. How will anyone every get the skill to play the tactic or the money to train. The trainers don't get better , they are capped but cost more. Some player will never be 200k$ a week or have the skills to be effective in tactics . Not every manager is going to be a guru trainers. Which creates another lopsided effect in the game if know when to sell and when not to.

Look let cut this bulls short, this rule is for abusive sellers . Im not selling any players, im just buying. Im taxed because I bought talent instead of built when tactics are lopsided. Yes true it would cost the managers less to train player into the tactic, but not for outsides shooting.

Let me let you in something you may or may not know. A effective outsides guard salary to have( as into buy) for outside shooting tactic goes up 5-20k every season in cost,< *need to have to be effective* (this is why a lot guards are over priced in value on the market and manager paying crazy amounts for the,). So in small how is a manager who bases himself that area of suppose to win or get better or yet even profit? Training is not bring in any revenue in BB right, now with a tax I just don't know. The manager is going to sell his players, so his team is balanced which equals taxed.

My solution. is to balanced all the tactics to even strength . If they want to add tax after that it would make more sense. Right now it make no sense, the game is to unbalanced in the tactic which lead to higher cost. It taxing people unfairly to compete

which leads to a overpriced players, which leads to suspended teams. Which is already the case without this tax?

What's happening at the B3 level has no effect whatsoever on your inability to compete effectively with an outside team in IV, though of course it's a convenient scapegoat. At this point I'm pretty happy having built an outside team that can make the playoffs in II, though I've added more salary this season because it felt kind of wrong to have a 150k/week profit and still have a winning record but not be able to put up a serious promotion challenge.

If your blind to the fact I got my pg in the draft 10 season ago at 2200 salary and 10 season later 6k Week.. Show me what I win with that?

No, that's precisely the point - that's not training a player. Training is something you do deliberately with a goal of either making money from selling the player, or making the player better to help you move up the league structure. While you've got these couple of guys who are essentially useless to you to show for your "training" I have six players who I picked up as 18 year olds who have salaries of 18k, 22k, 27k, 35k, 37k and 46k, all of whom play very significant minutes in my outside offense in a very competitive II league (* - edit: this season the 18k may not play many more minutes since he's now my 11th man, so he'll be mostly in the Cup and in for certain matchups only). Two of the guys are being further trained this season as well. After ten seasons of training, if all you have to show for it is a couple of guys going from scrimmage fodder to borderline bench players for IV, you're not training effectively, period.

I'm sure you don't want get into that because again, ill send you to your stop with all your bags.. But on topic this taxing is petty. If they are going punish sellers punish them directly not every single person on the game. That where my beef is.

They're not punishing sellers. What they are doing is saying that if you're running a team that is spending more than it makes, there's going to be a penalty for that behavior. They want to encourage people to build basketball teams, not bank accounts, so if you're training a player up from scratch into a good player, that's what they want to reward - while someone who goes out and buys up finished players isn't going to get that same cushion. The simple solution to the problem is don't overspend, and build a team that can win within whatever revenue you can generate - but, of course, that's something that is a test of managerial skill and so your mileage may vary.

yep. that pretty much sums it up. basically, that's it. you could argue it will need some tuning in the future. but the point is pretty much in target.
