I'm sorry thst you disagree with my posts. However that does not make what I said incorrect.

I happen to play both this kind of game and fantasy sports. Both have there appeal but they are two different types of games. Let's not mix the two otherwise what's the point of either.

Second, I was pointing out that the current bidding system has a built in flaw that could easily be exploited by potential cheaters. I hope they fix it.


I don't see anything against the logic to bid against yourself in BuzzerBeater because:
- in the end the highest bidder always buy the player
- you may put wrong amount by mistake
- you may want to guarantee to buy that specific player/staff
- it's fairer for everyone, otherwise people who are spending much more time on the website will have unnecessary advantage
- you may didn't had enough money to bid what you wanted to bid but suddenly you got extra cash (by selling another player for example)

I think the pros of the current bidding systems are much more than the pros for a bidding system you are suggesting.

You make a valid alternative argument. However, my opinion is the current system of being allowed to increase your own bid is loaded with potential for cheating and should be changed so you cannot increase your own bid.

I play four sports management games like this and Buzzerbeater is the only one that allows this practice.

Years of being a GM and I still fail to see how it really helps cheating to be able to bid two times in a row.


Is there an automatic cap of the bid like if the current price is 30 000 and you try to bid 40 000 but instead of 40 000 you put 400 000 (one extra 0). Is the system going to prevent that or it will allow you to bid 400 000 ?

Because if there's such prevention (which btw is a nice thing to have) then the possibility to outbid yourself is a MUST. Let's say a player starting price is 1 000, but his real cost is 100 000. You want to bid for example 50 000 directly, you will have to make at least 2 bids: one at 10 000 for ex. and another one at 50 000.

Minor Suggestion:

If a message gets deleted by poster/mod... before I read it.

Do I really need an alert for 1 unread message, for a message that I will NEVER be able to read?

Would it be possible to unify the lists of bookmarks between the primary team and that of Utopia?
If you want to put a check on the team before bidding?
So much in making the offer "commands" the selected team not the one in which it is placed in the bookmarks .. so the error can be there anyway but at least in any of the two teams I'm watching I see the complete list of bookmarks ..
That is, in practice make a list to managers and not a team list ..
