I am suggesting all trainers get reset to certain salaries when reset to sell. I am only going to mention the level 5,6, and 7 trainers. Others could be reset to lower salaries of course.

Level 5s reset to $15k
Level 6s reset to $22.5k
Level 7s reset to $32.5k

This would still create bid wars for the 5s, 6s, and 7s, which would keep the “Taking money out of the game” purpose that it currently has. This would also allow new players and players without big money in the bank to have the opportunity to train effectively for U-21, NT, and personal training without having to use their entire savings just to get a solid trainer.
Teams would still have to replace their trainers every 2-3 seasons before salaries get out of hand.

My logic is that the current system really follows “The Rich stay Rich” mindset, as it would be nearly impossible for a newer player or someone with a low bankroll to draft or buy some good trainees and buy a needed level 5,6, or 7 level trainer to keep up with the training needed to make a U-21 team or finish training an older player to make a NT team.


I think this would keep more newer players in the game, as they would have the opportunity to do things like this.

Hi there, AIRFORCE1.

With respect...I disagree. New teams need to learn everything about BB and, over numerous seasons, improve and progress. Making it to the top league in your respective country should not be easy. It should take time, energy and patience. While the "rich getting richer" aspect of the game seems unfair, those teams (and I am not one of them) have had to work hard over an extended period of time to 'earn' that. And even when teams get to the top division (which I have done previously) it is still extremely hard to stay there as it goes to another level.

Sorry for the extended comment. I just think teams need to progress in relation to their experience; there are no shortcuts nor should there be.

My two cents worth.

Have a great season.

MrJ

I see your points, but I don’t see this as much of a shortcut. They will still have to save to even buy a level 5,6, or 7 trainer to begin with. This just makes the salaries more affordable for when they can. They can decide to save for whatever level trainer they want, and know they will be able to get one in the salary range that they want to get, since all will reset to these salary levels I see this as a way to allow all trainers to have the opportunity to train effectively, without having to spend all of their money on trainers just to be able to do so. They still have to spend all of the time training players, making money, and building their teams. This just makes the training aspect a little more affordable. Many players lose interest and quit within a couple of season because they don’t have the opportunities to even train quality players for U-21 while their team is new and stinks. This would give them a reason to stay. It is no fun trying to train players with a level
1-4 trainer, to the point where it’s almost pointless.

This will also get rid of the mess you see on the list now. Nobody is going to bid for level 4,5,6,7 trainers that reset to ridiculous prices anyway. You may as well only have trainers on the list that people are going to bid on. I see level 5 trainers on the list starting at $40k, level 6s starting up to 50-$60k and some level 7s with even higher salaries. Nobody wants those guys. Doing this would keep the list full of trainers that people will actually bid on, and they won’t have to wait once or twice a day for a trainer with a salary range that they are looking for, as they will all reset to certain ranges.

Hello. I'm the new manager here,

I believe the current bidding system for trainers is counterintuitive in the long run. A more effective approach would be to offer a salaried contract structure. For instance, a Level 7 trainer could be offered a total salary of $5 million over three seasons, translating to $1.5 million per season. This format would provide stability and flexibility for both parties.

Alternatively, higher-rated trainers could be offered shorter contracts with higher salaries, allowing for flexibility and potential renewal options. This would enable teams to reassess their needs and adjust their roster accordingly. Additionally, teams could explore more affordable options on the market.

In my site view from reading, trainers of all levels have a purpose. Higher-level teams may struggle to effectively utilize top-tier trainers, and their players might not exhibit significant improvement. Conversely, lower-level teams might find that a Level 3 trainer is perfectly suited to their needs. Some even argue and suggest that a Level 4 trainer offers optimal value, but Im not very sure, in that reading of perspectives. I have lost to learn.

I do think contracts for trainers is the betters way . Btw 1.5 mill a season is just a example. I personally think 750k a season level 7 trainer is fair. For 3 seasons .1,3million for 3 season in contract.. With options to pay upfront all or through seasonal revenue weekly..

I feel that your ultimate goal is to lower the average salary of trainers, which refers to the average salary after spreading out the bid price cost.
If that is the case, I think it would be better to simply change the supply and add more trainers with suitable salaries.

The current system has a buffering effect when there is a sudden surge in demand (prices go up, and trainers with higher salaries also become options, which increases the supply).
On the other hand, resetting trainers' salaries seems like it would create a constant supply of trainers.
Intuitively, it feels like only a small number of trainers needs to be kept on the transfer market.

Also, the same average trainer salary can either be a high salary with a low bid price or a low salary with a high bid price.
If all trainers have low salaries and you don’t get a good deal by luck, the bid prices will not be low.
Wouldn’t this make it even harder for teams with less cash compared to now?

By the way, if I remember correctly, in the past, trainers with specialties had an average salary (per week) of about 50k for level 5 (after spreading out the bid price) and nearly 100k for level 6.
Over the past 10-20 seasons, BuzzerBeater has improved, and now the prices are clearly much cheaper, with level 6 trainers around 50k.
