BuzzerBeater Forums

Now 10 of 39 is pretty sad for voter turnout. I really wonder about the 29 teams that couldn't be bothered to vote. Probably half of those we've never heard a PEEP from game time or otherwise.... how many are farm teams? Seriously.

Voted... but really? There are supposedly 39 people here?

WARNING: It is against BuzzerBeater rules to bid above market rates on a player. Our cheater tools may detect this as an attempt to transfer money between two accounts, and BOTH teams may be banned.

The TPE is directly linked with the cheater tools. Why would you say it is wack, maybe because it has caught you before.
I remember that Japanese big you sold. what was it? 1.9 million for a Player with a TPE of 750K. I'm just saying. They let you back in, why would you do the same stuff again. They even gave you the LA gig. Greed is a killer I guess.

I haven't seen anywhere in the rules that suggests that buying undervalued players and then reselling them for a profit is illeagal. They just impose a tax on it which prevents players from getting flipped for pennies.

In some ways this activity keeps the market efficient and insures there are enough interested buyers. These same efforts are at work in any market in the real world.

The main thing the rules say is cheating is to transfer a player for much more than his value as a way of transferring funds. For example you can't sell a $2K a week player for $2M. But if a player is estmated a being worth $200K and someone is willing to legitimately pay $500K for him then his real market value was $500K.

I'm not accusing you of cheating. I'm just saying,"Be careful"..Thats all. You have already been zapped for it once so why risk it?

This is not correct. Like I said. I saw a player get sold for 1.9 million and he had a TPE of 750K-900K. The GM's fined this manager 700K for selling the player. His market value didn't become 1.9million it was still 750K-900K.
And your right..It isn't against the rules to flip players but it is against the rules to put a player out there at 3 times his TPE and hoping that someone comes along and hits the bid button. This game is called Buzzer Beater and it's a Basketball game, it's not called Ripoff.
PS. If it is true that there is a Team Chemistry code written into the game(the longer players play together the better they will play), then why would anybody have everyone on their roster for sale knowing that it's only going to hurt their team in the games. Even the fan survey has it written in. It's a little sad that our former NT coach and LA is all about Day Trading and flipping players and not about winning games or training Japanese talent. You train players to make your team better not to make a fast buck when he hits 80%.

You want me to promote up to JBBL with no arena, spend all my money on overpriced players whose value will drop 90% in two season so that you can stomp on my team and tell your self what a great manager you are for beating a team with 3 or 4 less seasons in the game than you....

Now that is funny.. I just beat a season 3 team, do you see me bragging about it...NO!! I got beat by a season 8 team in my PL..Im not crying about it. You should change your name to Mr. Excuse. My arena isn't big enough, I have no Japanese talent, even know my 18 yr old has 66 points in all the wrong places he is worth 66K. It's not how long you have played but how you play.
The thing I was saying is this..With that LA next to your name, you are representing Japan as a staff member of BB. You were so busy in the bin last season you messed up the NT job by CTing a team after you had already qualified for the second round. You were so worried about China and their farm teams that you didn't know when the GS reset was.
Those were rookie mistakes....
BTW...Farm teams aren't always second teams...They are teams that are built for the purpose of training young talent. People choose to be farm teams in the big countries. That isn't cheating..
