BuzzerBeater Forums

What it basically means is that BuzzerBeater can't really afford to have a substantial group of players making, say, $2M/week, unless we just decide to inflate everything to cover their salaries (a bad idea for a number of reasons).

This is actually one of the side effects a problem that we created around season 3 (and have been trying to find the best solution for ever since around season 5) when we left the introduction of potential off a season in order to try and get the economy into equilibrium as quickly as possible.

The point is, these players like Cardenas are going to keep training in many cases until they reach their potential cap, and while players who are trained in a small set of skills to very high levels should have painfully high salaries, the salaries can't be so high as to make it impossible for any team to consider picking them up. While I suspect the best teams will choose depth over superstars, it should also be possible for a top division team to afford one superstar if they're willing to really skimp on depth (e.g., a superstar at $400k as part of a total $450-500k wage budget).

We're going to try to make this possible by rescaling the wages each season so that the most skilled players (as a large group) end up in a range that makes this possible; we're going to fit the entire distribution of skills to a salary scale. In the short-term, this means that for the next few seasons (until players like Cardenas have reached their potential cap) you will be getting progressively slightly more skill for your dollar. In market terms, you can think of this as a guy like Cardenas simply deciding that he's worth as much as anybody can afford to pay, but no more than that.

I suspect there will still be a few nomads out there who have a combination of very high skills which means they're just not worth building a team around, but that's really a separate question and one that's for managers rather than BBs to deal with. I think I've been quite outspoken as is on the subject of whether managers are giving players optimal training.

spero proprio di no

spero proprio di sì, dato che l'avevano detto. e che mi son tenuto gli italiani apposta.

penso che l'idea iniziale,della variazione stipendi tra giocatori "autoctoni" e no sia stata messa da parte,o rinviata nel tempo...se invece intendevano fin dall'inizio vantaggi per i nazionali intesi come giocatori delle nazionali aventi skill a livelli altissimi,non avevamo capito una mazza fin dall'inizio

personalmente ricordo solo che avevano parlato di vantaggi per chi possiede un italiano nel merchandising, cosa ribadita oggi. non credo proprio taglieranno alcuno stipendio

sì, bisogna poi vedere a quanto corrisponde l'aumento del merchandising. se si parla di 2k in più, posso snobbare gli italiani
