I burned 4 million for arena design and 900k for new arena seats that I didn't needed at all because of this hoarding tax scare. It's frustrating and I feel fooled.

And I spent 8 mil on a player, trying to get to the 15 mil cap, not to loose money.
Was not planning to buy a player for next 3 seasons, and look now!

Fooled like a 3y old kid.

This game becomes a jok, one day its like this, the other day its like that.
Overnight changes, its not a serious game anymore, maybe a time to say goodbye after all those years.

We are talking with several veterans including ones in CLUB mode :)

Just make sure that some of them aren't his (new BB) buddies, but critics. Or else you will get echo chamber feedback. Also remember that NT mode is played by less than 1 percent of players and if player base expands, it's gonna be more like 0.01 percent :)

that arena design is actually a good investment (unless you had different design already). Over next 3-4 years you will get your money back and then start making pure profit

arena seats not worth it though as you already had 20k capacity

Top real-world sports clubs have already proven that rushed, poorly discussed overhauls paired with inconsistent policy swings can wipe out years of long-term team-building. Barcelona and Manchester United are well-known examples: once core financial or roster rules change abruptly, every long-term plan made by managers goes up in smoke.

This matters even more for a manager game built around long-term planning. As the developers and rule-setters of this game environment, you must exercise extreme caution when rolling out any major changes. These flip-flops will only slowly erode the confidence of veteran managers who have invested years into this game.

The hasty original changes already drove away many long-term players. Now everyone has adjusted their teams and plans to adapt to the new rules, only to hear the changes are reversed. Just ask yourselves: how many more players will leave after this announcement?

To be honest, this financial overhaul barely affects me since I run a newly founded team. I just had to endure a tough stretch of getting outplayed. Yet I can hardly imagine how managers who poured massive time and effort into their teams feel right now — whether they feel they have been fooled.

Back in the week after Marin announced the reforms, you could have simply rolled back the changes when facing massive pushback from the community, instead of waiting until everyone had already made costly preparations for the new rules.

I first got into BB around 2009. Back then, my country’s league system had five divisions. When I returned last year, we could barely keep three divisions alive. I often face inactive, abandoned teams in Division III now. This is no longer the BuzzerBeater I remember.

Do you know how long Im preparing my generation?
Do you know how long I was saving those 8 mil, spent on 1 player?

All because the change that should happen in few weeks.
Over night, a new decission, no changes will be made.
Is someone joking?

I really feel like the biggest fool on Buzzerbeater, and probably I am.

If I make a new plan, who knows, maybe a new change in 4 weeks

PS I appreciate your work guys, trying to bring BB on the next lvl, but those overnight changes are really bad.

I invested few RL years in my plan, and it all fell apart.
