Actually i think the amount of money newcomers receive in the beginning is quite good and should not be changed. If they would start with a crappy team and no bonuses whatsoever to start this game is unfair.

Players spent their time to register and should be rewarded accordingly, and 300k in the begginning plus 50k a week bonus is great and should not be changed. It helped me a lot, of course i bought some bad players but i would call that learning, learning how to play. Next time or a time after the next time i didnt buy so bad players anymore and made better deals. This is how it rolls and has to be.

I don't believe the money is the problem. I recently started playing and after reading the game manual and browsing the forums a bit I realised I made a few mistakes in my first week or so but like Krakon said thats just learning. I had a few friends start and quit quite soon but it wasn't the money or the complexity that made them lose interest it was the time they had to put in. They didn't realise that they wouldn't tearing up the B3 2 weeks in. I don't have any ideas on that front but if they're was a way to prepare new players for the pace of the game or I think I read something in here about season goals. Those might be good to give new people some shorter-term goals to shoot for.

I agree with that. And i think THE one shorter-term goal for newcomers in a nation with enough managers is trying to be competitive against other teams in DV (and not landing in a competitive level where the get destroyed every game).

Have you other idea? I think the user decrease because few starting money. This my opinion.
The inflation don't problem have on whole Globe.

Here's an idea; learn proper grammar.

Ok that's a bit harsh of me to say that. But there is no way that I can agree with you when you say that new users don't have enough starting money. They get 500k, split into 300k upfront and 200k paid over 4 weeks. Perhaps it would be a good idea to more directly advise new managers not to buy any expensive players at first, but they start with more than enough money and the only a boneheaded decision can bankrupt them early on.

Thanks. I'm glad you understand the problem

BB is a slow game where no more than 5-6 things happen a week (3 games, training and maybe U21/NT games). I guess boneheaded decisions on behalf of new players happen because they can't wait and want to do too much too early without reading a single word from Game Manual. Such people can't watch a movie, read a book or play a game if it's not interesting to them in first 3 minutes. These generations are product of mass consumerism and I think BB is not a game for them.

Well first things first, yes I think noobs get enough cash, just that they don't know how to spend it.

Myabe if we give them a BB Mail with some tips of what to do and what not to do (just a simple auto message like this):

Dear X,

Buzzerbeater has approved your account for buzzerbeater! Welcome to the game and I hope you enjoy the game as much as we do. Here are some helpful tips so that you can start your team in the right direction; buzzerbeater is a marathon, not a race so hope these tips will help you lead to early success!

1. Don't go to the transfer market! Yes I bet right now your thinking, "I got a bad team what else do you think can make my team better?" well going to the transfer market may not be the best thing. Lots of managers early in this game made huge mistakes by buying "monsters" and large salaried people, causing their team to go bankrupt within little time. There are lots of other solutions to make a team better

2. Build your arena. The only way to get more cash is to get more fans in those seats! The way to get more fans in the arena is to build your arena! Building your arena will not only make your team better but give you a foundation to your economy.

3. Read the Manual. A lot of players make mistakes because they don't want to read the game manual. If you would read the manual you'd have a much better inoformation about the game and what you want to do. Link to Game Manual: (http://www.buzzerbeater.com/community/rules.aspx?nav=Rule...) and here is the link to the FAQ (http://www.buzzerbeater.com/community/forum/read.aspx?thr...)

Good Luck in buzzerbeater!

Also it would probably help if your new team can get at least *1* good, young player to build your team around. The player could be over 3000 salary with Perrenial Allstar+ potential, and 18 years old; the rest is off to luck. I was pretty disappointed in my team finding I only had 1 worthwhile player and still he wasn't the right fit. Then I go and see other rosters with 3 or 4 18 year olds with allstar+ potential and some HOFs and MVPs and SSs in the mix; I get mad about that too. At least give a new team a PAS 18 yo to start off and have a foundation for your team
