Understand your frustration, but why are you setting your lineup only at few minutes to the deadline?
I mean, I did the same, I'm playing with a wrong lineup so shame on me too.

Basically it's not our fault, but at the matter of fact, a downtime can happen (unfortunately), so...

I came to set my lineup in the appropriate time. The site was down! How could I predict this?

Server failures, downtime etc. can always happen. You can't guarantee 100% availability of online services. Google can't, Apple can't, Microsoft can't, Buzzerbeater can't. Sometimes hardware failes, sometimes software failes, sometimes network failes. ALL internet users have to deal with this.

I always try to set lineups at least one day before the game starts.

That's why BB won't improve, because of users like you. The site fails and I'm to blame for not setting my lineup.

No worries, they just lost my supporter for the first time since I signed up.

Do you also rage quit when online services from Apple, Google, Microsoft, Facebook, Twitter etc. are not available for a short period of time?

BB-Ryan apologized for the downtime. What else do you want? It happened. It's something you hardly can control. It was the first server downtime here for a long, long time.

Relax...

I don't think either of your guys was very valuable. You lost maybe 100k tops. I don't think those are the type of guys even people buy for playoffs. Everyone expects prices to be high right now but they are not, prices are actually dropping and now that playoff deadline will pass prices will be even lower.

You should have got a bit more because its pre-playoffs but that is not a guarantee. Its highly possible your first guy sells for nothing during offseason and 2nd guy is probably depending luck when you list to get a noob etc.

Now maybe I am wrong about the stats, but I am going on performance, age, salary, DMI. Skill drops, lack of key skills, very high salary (compared to skills after drops), age and future of more drops plus GS hits so close to the playoffs.

After they implemented GS hits the real inflation on player prices happen about 2 weeks before the deadline. People know that buying just prior wont help them that much= you are preying on people who got unexpected injury or don't understand GS. In this case perhaps you would have been lucky too such people don't understand age and might not notice salary as too high vs. skills and/or think high salary equates good player etc....
But there aren't that many of those people bid-warring.

You should set your high price you demand first, not start $1, and see what happens. Anytime you start $1 you take a big risk. I never start $1 unless I just hate the player and don't care--but in this case I think I would rather fire him and save my transfer counter.

Anyway unless we want to have autobid there is no way to ensure people online to bid for your player. Asking for a game with random auction times on a low budget at $1 starting bids that actually net you consistent results is like asking the American people to have an election based on facts and issues. Just isn't going to happen.


Dude - The plan was if I dont like the price repurchase the guy, with the server down that was not an option...
