Did you win anything doing this method?.

I think my league is doing the same things. This and abuse of salary floor are a lot to deal with. Also since you've been here awhile. How did you defeat teams of such nature. If it ok,to ask .

This method works in lower leagues, I guess not in higher leagues where GS is more important.

I live of that in natinal cup, or , sometimes, I buy for few 1K a over 150K salary and fire him.

This rule is to change like hattrick (when you buy a player you pay his salary).

But..meanwhile the engine has this "oppurtunity", I will use.

Not meant be a smart alick or snide remark. But isn't league 3 mid level, a blend high and lower style players.

I do understand overseas there's no level 4 or 5 division ranks.

As I dwell in the thought of this. When you buy a player you've already paid him per say. So firing one week after that ,is fair. Maybe not on a match perspective. But to the points, I think the end game is, t time to introduce player contracts.

That would a great topic in the forums . players and staff contracts

Interestingly, replacing or firing a staff member requires paying one week's salary in severance, but that's not the case for players.
It seems like BB did this on purpose.
I wonder if there's a reason behind it?
I don't know the reason behind it.

I just thought that new teams might need to fire the players they started with, including star players.
If firing a player requires paying severance, that would be an extra cost for the new team.

Also, for teams that are close to going bankrupt, whether severance is needed might make a difference.
If severance is required, they might need to fire players one week earlier to avoid bankruptcy.

If there's no plan to change the system to make firing players cost severance, it's also possible to suggest this to other managers:
To avoid having listed players treated as disposable by others, you can set the starting bid to be, for example, the same as their salary.

Question


Haven't you've already paid them,when you bought them. So bidding salaries is different than actual league salary's.

If we could look at that perspective, what do you think ?

Understandable

My rebuttal is this

I understand the distinction you're making between player contracts and staff employment in Buzzerbeater. However, I'd like to propose an alternative perspective. If the last salary payment for players can be seen as a form of severance pay or contractual obligation, couldn't a similar logic be applied to staff employment? After all, staff members are also essential to a team's success, and their termination can have significant impacts on the team's performance.

Perhaps the game's mechanics could be designed to treat player and staff contracts more similarly, with both involving a final payment upon termination. This could help create a more consistent and intuitive experience for team managers.

I'd appreciate your thoughts on this idea and whether there's a particular reason why player and staff contracts are treated differently in this regard.

I hope I haven't confused you further in this matter.
