Actually, I have always thought that BBs make news unnecessary more difficult to translate and make the game more playable only in English without a reason. We all guess from news what the impact will be (and different people have different beliefs based on them) but keeping that (possibility to guess what BBs mean) in other language versions is inevitably more or less problematic. BBs actually help a lot to let things be lost in translation. It has to be discouraging for LAs although usual ones are overcoming that with their enthusiasm:)

Edit: I play in English (for a reason).

I am not able to comment on whether or not the game is easier in English than in Tagalog or German or Finnish because I am a native English speaker. The English news reports give vague information that are open to interpretation and encourage the user to figure things out for themselves. I find that pretty cool. I know a lot of people don't. Why is it more problematic in other languages? Is the news overly colloquial or cliched? If I were to say to a Spanish translator, "Lebron killed Pierce last time they balled," certainly a translator worth his salt would know that I meant Lebron outplayed Pierce in their last game and would know how to say so with appropriate Spanish hoops vernacular.

Guys I dont see the problem here. So many people are unhappy about the recent changes. To be fair most of those changes were announced some time ago so people shaould have prepared accordingly and the most recent changes were found neccessary in order to keep the economical balance. My point is that we all had the same information for a few seasons now and the difference is how each individual delt with the upcomming changes. We were all in the same boat the only difference is that some users might have made better choices.
It is very natural for the majority of the poeple in an organization or a society(as BB) to react negatively to change. Change brings uncertainty and poeple tend to feel disadvantageous to other users due to those changes. The fact is that change itself does not make your team less competitive. The way you deal with the changes might do that but still you can always recover. The most common problem I can see here is people complaining about the upcomming fall in prices due to the re-introduction of free agents. You spent your cash on the more expensive players and users with piles of cash have the advantage? Well that just aint true. First of all the teams with loads of cash and expensive players will ALWAYS have the advantage. Whatever happens if you got the money or the players to offload you can react better to any changes in the enviroment or the lack of changes for that matter. So if you feel that some of the recent changes hurt your team in any way, what i think you should do is try to cope with the issue the best way you get. You got some overpriced player recently? Well you can still sell him as the market aint exactly cheap yet right?

Whatever, Your Essence of Knowledge.

EDIT: Frankly docend24, this is borderline offense, please respect the attempts to keep this a pleasant place and don't test limits. You expect the same from others.

Expect the same from others Gm-kozlodoev included (he is probably the most patronizing person on boards, ask around or look how many times his posts have 1 ball rating...). I would just like if he would actually try to understand other posters' posts before replying to them and not just type his automatic "no, you are wrong" response with some aditional words around it. Is it too much to expect?

(I simply don't care about this that much so dont be afraid I would start a flamewar or whatever, I just want you to look at it from the other side - if my post was offensive then his frequentr habit of discarding ideas of other posters (including manager of top 20 teams) without a thought (i just cant believe he doesnt relaize the point all the time) is at least annoying too. Would it be ok, if I add a smiley to my post?:) )

I hope that you never go... Who am I going to have never ending discussions about the game engine with if you're not around?

After i read that post i came with some conclusions.

1) Its the perfect time to sell a player, but not to buy. Sell high, and keep u r money, when the prices will drop

2)Invest on u r arena (if u can fill more sits), as from what i have understand is that the optimal arena size for 1st division teams is around the 20.000 sits. (from the beginning of the season i have spend until now like 1.7 mill on the expansion, and i still have 1.2 mil.

3) Its a wise move to spend money during the middle of the season, when the changes have some stability we can have some safe conclusions about the affects of the (any changes). Looks like the most important skill that u need to have on this game to succeed, is the patience, and try to take the advantage from any situation. Indeed this season the game looks more than economist game than basketball (thats reminds me basketsim and its NOT a good sign).

Anyway, i will show faith to the BB, and see how those changes will affect the game on the long term. I will be supporter until next May so i guess that i can wait :)

Good. But, in the meanwhile, between selling high my best players and being able to buy at reasonables prices, how many series I'll drop (I.e. how much money I'll use to make my team better I'll lose?)

Good indeed. But, if I can't buy a decent players because I ain't got the money (the few I got is invested in arena improvements), who will come to see me lose any and every match?

Almost perfect, but for one, tiny thing. This particular changing has been done right at the middle of the season and it makes a precedent: what if next season I'm just done with some adjustments to my team (or arena) and rules will change another time? I'm with the ones that say that it's really important to keep communication up and announce any change in rules way before it's put on.

I'm not a supporter, but I'll stick to this game too. Not because I trust so much BB's skills in planning and improving the game, but because I like to play, even if I have to fight (as a small IV serie team) againist economy and not only other players.
