There's a fairly easy fix out there for this problem, not sure why nothing has ever been done.

Even if they picked a salary cap number and made the rule that your active lineup for any B3 game can't exceed whatever that limit is, problem solved. You want to carry a $1.5 million payroll for your league but the cap on BB is $1.1? Better start benching some guys or risk a forfeit.

I disagree completely, they need to get rid of micronations. Leave it as it is and let the bank accounts of the world drain out a few seasons. Once there is no more micronation, there is no more superbankaccount.

Agree and disagree that would solve the lack of parity in B3 alone. Teams have succeeded in different ways to make a bunch of money and being from a micronation is just one of them.

I do agree that it would be good to get rid of nations are really small. Competing a country with 2000 users is different level then 200. Id love to see no domestic league less than 500.

Some kind of salary cap might help, though teams with tons of money could just buy extremely salary efficient players with their millions instead of paying higher salaries for players that are less well rounded. though it might be harder to find those players quickly for a b3 run.

Why not both?

In the short run put a cap on B3 so that we start crowing the best team instead of the most expensive team.

In the long run allow every supporter 2 teams, the 2nd team in a nation of thier choice which would strengthen all those micro nations where the smart owners can tank their way to huge bank accounts. This would also fix the problem with shrinking teams and probably draw more new users to the micro nations as now they get bored playing most of their games against BOTs.

Well, let's see all this from a different angle.

How about all the teams start from zero again? The whole BB teams. A restart of the game itself.

I think, we all think that the gap between a new manager and old managers is very very big. That big, that a new manager starting to play today, even if he is very smart, will take years to get to a mid-high level, especially if he is in a big country.

Besides, the game is really simple. Take a look at this season B3. Scorpion won just because he could save money for 3 seasons. Then, it's easy to know what players are good to buy. You buy already aged players, train Game Shape/Stamina/Free Throw whole season and that's it. That's the formula to win B3.

Also, after restarting every team, some other changes should be done too.

1. soft cap salary for B3.

2. Micronations (less than 30 players) should not exist. They should go to the next nearest country.

3. The whole tactic thing. Or, if that's too much, just remove Look Inside tactic. It's not a very realistic one either, so it won't be a big drama to get rid of it.

Many old managers might not like the Restart idea, including myself, but let's be honest. The current game favors only old managers, and that's why BB is losing more and more people everyday. Take a look at the forums. It's the same 100 people that comment and are most active in the game.

So I trained a small forward to have an advantage now and instead, sacrificing present for future for a reset. No thanks.

Im a new manager , but unluckily I started off in a IV League.

First off, hello and welcome to BB. I would advise you to read the Game Manual http://www.buzzerbeater.com/community/rules.aspx?nav=Rule..., and to do so in small bits. There's no need to try to read it all at once.

Second, INVEST IN YOUR ARENA. I made the mistake of not doing so when I first started, and my profits suffered as a result. You've found the forums quite early, which is a good sign.

A third thing I will advise you to do is not to buy high salaried players, especially the ones you see for cheap prices. These salary monsters will cripple your team. Also, don't buy players just because they have high potential. An 18 year old player with star potential can be trained faster than a 25 year old with hall of fame potential.

As the draft is about to take place, don't be so quick to pull the trigger and buy. If you are patient and looking, you will probably find a couple of good prospect that won't make you break the bank.

Good luck, and remember that BB is a marathon, not a sprint. Happy playing!

I scouted a guy that was 4/4 and 18 with nice height for a PG. I read the manual and im not into training right now , I also invested 80k into my arena already but Im probably gonna train my draftee and sell 3 or 4 of my players. I am considering do I wanna demote or stay in the league. Oh Thanks for the welcome also !
