Hey all, what generally happens when relegated? My team stays as they are and I can take it as a rebuilding season? There's nothing special happening...?

you will not relegate as the 4th div is composed of bots.

How do ratings in this game work? The last couple seasons I've lost to teams in the playoffs with worse ratings than me... I feel like I'm stuck in limbo. Good enough to breeze through the season while still making 100k+ profit each week, not good enough to get promoted to div1. In fact, even the biggest spenders in my div pale in comparison to the worst teams in div1. The financial gap seems insurmountable. Makes me wonder when the last time was when a team got promoted to the first division and cemented their place there rather than just be a 'yo-yo club' as it's often called in football/soccer.

If you buy a player who was your draftee, will they retain the status as a Homegrown in your team (ie. will you get the merchandize bonus associated with these players).

This was asked before and the answer is a tentative yes.

<3 Perhaps a member with certain role could add it to the 2022 BuzzerBeater Knowledge Base thread in the BB-Global (English) forum if they find this "fact" worthy to be included in the goated thread (314816.1) or some nerdy enthusiast can create an updated 2026 BuzzerBeater KB and FAQ

Hi,

this in deed is a "well-known problem". As the game gives big advantage to long term gamers, for newcommers it is difficult to enter higher claims/ higher leagues. Just take the long term benefits of the arena as well as the long term benefits of the infrastructure. A newcommer (btw. me, in terms of BB I am a newcommer) does not have these benefits. Thus, no additional income out of the infrastructure, thus financial disadvantage compared to the long term gamers. To close this gap is nearly impossible.

You need time and patience - muuuch time and muuuuch patience. In fact you have this situation as described by you in every country/ every league.

One possibility is, when a long term manager gives up the game (scenario that in fact we do not want). However, in this case a "newer" team might have the chance to take that place. Other possibility is very long term development. For this you need - exactly - time and patience :)

thank you for your response :)

Last week I had 6 million in the bank. I bought two guards to help balance my team for the playoffs, thinking it would be enough to get me to the finals at least. Now I am at 5 million, looking to offload them as fast as possible after my unexpected loss haha. This is why I reached 6 million to begin with! I was/still am terrified of spending my money. The risk of it being wasted is too high. I need someone to teach me how to get better at timing these investments lol
