Hello
I propose a hardcore, masochistic custom game mode / self-play ruleset that strips away all economic safety nets, forces total tactical adaptation, and turns *BuzzerBeater* into an intense survival-management sim.
Here are the core features of the mode:
* **The $275k Economic Cage:** Start with a fixed $275k budget per level. There is zero outside revenue (no jerseys, merch, or auxiliary income). Arena expansions cost grow by an agonizing 0.5% per tick.
* **The Win & Gamble Lifeline:** Your cash increases by **0.5% for every single game you win**, serving as your primary cash lifeline. To supplement your income, you can place DraftKings-style prop bets on your players' random performance metrics ($5k bonus profit on a hit, lose your stake on a miss).
* **Brutal Failure Fines:** Zero promotion bonuses. If you miss the playoffs, you take a crushing $10k penalty. If you get demoted, you take a $5kfine,& lose your players' potential ceilings,
Zero cash carries over upon promotion—only your players make the jump.
* **The Roster & Academy Iron Wall:** Homegrown draft discoveries only. Zero free agency. Max "All-Star" potential ceiling. You can only sell a maximum of 2 players per season, with low-level sales capped at 5k (scaling up only upon promotion).
* **The Veteran Time Bomb:** Maximum of 1 player over 30 allowed, costing you 15k per game—and they can randomly auto-retire mid-season without warning.
* **The Execution Guillotine:** Strict 10–12 player roster limits. Drop below 10 players three times, or overplay a 3 man core , two times ,**Your franchise is permanently deleted.**
* **Basic Staff & 3-Position Training:** You are stuck with basic, non-specialized trainers, doctors, and PR managers. Training is restricted to 3 position only
* **The Tactical Treadmill & Attrition Blender:** You must rotate your offensive and defensive tactics *every single game* or bleed standing points. Playing the. Same tactic more than twice. Back to back team is deleted .
In-game injuries (Yellow/Orange/Red) are capped at 2 games max, handled by your incompetent basic doctor.
The transfer market also slams shut completely after the All-Star break.
Fall below 25k. In finances team deleted.
