When stuff like this happens, I think there is a problem: (161502.87). I have seen others complain about daytraders but to me this is worse. At least daytraders keep the market going and it takes a lot of effort to be a successful daytrader. This "new" strategy is the lazy man's path to success. I don't want to pick on Random Noise as I don't think this was a plan for world domination. But others are following the path purposefully and with full knowledge of where it leads.

Anyhow, as far as I can tell, the BBs said there would be a market correction. Nowhere did I see them say there would be a market collapse. To me those are two different things. On top of that, I was never left with the impression that this would stretch over many seasons. And to say that the top players in the game still get the same market prices as they did 2-3 seasons ago is stretching the truth to say the least. If that was true, I could live with the "new market".

I don't want to tell them how to run the game. I am just saying what I currently don't like about the game. As always, if they and everyone else likes it the way it is, then I can live with that.

- In terms of changing valuations of players and evolving rankings, I might predict that in a few seasons, everybody will be wondering why BB managers were so late to realize the value of shot blocking and free throws, too.

I held back from commenting on this but as usual, I will throw out my two possibilities on this one:

1) The BBs do not understand the salary vs shot blocking model that they themselves have implemented... And they do not see that dollar for dollar, it makes more sense to train primary skills.
(in fact it is still one of my beefs that top centres have way higher salaries than top guards)

OR (possibly the more likely option...)

2) There are not enough metrics in the game for the end users to actually realize the value of shot blocking (whether it be in the match ratings or in the match report).

Either way, I do not see this solely as a failure of BB managers. I think the BBs have to take some of the blame here.

Well I love the new market :D Certainly makes my strategy more fruitful :D

So what would you do with that kind of money and assets? http://www.buzzerbeater.com/team/56709/transferhistory.as...

PS: Yes, Naker. You're free to express your thoughts this time! ;P

Depends on the goal of the team. Either tank and train 3 players in 1 position and then rebuild next season. Or spend the next week or so looking for bargains on the transfer list and building a great team and promote this season.

edit: sorry i checked it again and it was crap ;)

I believe it's bigger than looking, promoting and building "just another great team".
