Hey, do you think BB could introduce some rules about financial fair play?

The teams could not spend more in salary (staff + players + scouts) than their weekly income.

That would make the competition in the top leagues a lot more interesting, since some teams tend to "buy" their titles. It would also give more credit to the B3.

How does that sound?

Sounds said over and over, but hey...

economy in this game is perfect! No fix needed!

How do you define weekly income? Due to differencies in merchandise, gate receipts teams have every week different income. And in some weeks there is no home match, so no attendance income.

Yes, that's where it has to be discussed. It could be an average or a virtual estimated maximum income, a border you could not cross.

We could set a maximum margin for each team, because so many factors can change the weekly income (cup games, merchandise, arena...).

Another way would be to set a salary roof for each division (1 million for div 1, 600k for div 2 or whatsoever).

But hey, it's not like a 1.5 million team (only the players!) like the venomous scorpions could ever make money with the current BB economics.

At the moment, it looks like the best accountants win, not the best global managers. We could give more credit to training and tactics that way.

The players' union is firm in their stance rejecting any discussion of a hard cap system in the NBA. We firmly believe that any league shortfalls are best addressed through expanded revenue sharing.

STAND!

the situation is same for everybody ! everyone can pay 1.5 m salary !

how you define a good manager ? a good manager is who could create the best team ! not only who could choose a tactic ! choosing a good tactic is the most easiest act in this game !

and the best manager is who has the best team and high information about the game !

i cand understand why most of you think that the best manager is only who know the game ! this opinion is false !

for a basketball manager that's unacceptable

you will still buying titles, cause the rich team still can buy the best most salry efficient player to get the most performance below cap.

Also the week at the aend of the season could be very stupid on the tl, when player had to list player due relegation, salary updates etc. Which often means rebuild nstead of selling one or two stars.

PS: I believe that was in the global i put it into the suggestion area.

Why? Am I not allowed, to spend my earnt money in the beginning of the season (each week +50k), In the last weeks of the season extra (-20k)?

besides, if everbody makes profit, the economy would also fail.

Well I agree this would be far from easy to set up, but this is just a suggestion. Moreover, this idea doesn't come from nowhere: I shall remind that the barclay's premier league (english soccer) has agreed on a financial fairplay chart.

It's more or less a collusion between 2 worlds that I would illustrate with 2 soccer clubs: Manchester United and Manchester City. The first one is a soccer institution that has a great formation center to back up an awesome team. The second one has nothing but a rich president who will buy superstars and try to buy his titles. These are different ways of thinking and both can work.

However I believe the Manchester United win owing to a great management while City may win with a great sponsor (accountant in BB). Isn't the best manager supposed to succeed in BB? That's what's on the ad...

But I understand it's not easy to work on this idea and it's more likely not gonna be done anytime soon. The best would probably be to follow the professional leagues (real ones) and try to do the same (as it is now) so as to be as close as the reality (which is obviously not working out too well for them at the moment).

The idea is here and every thought is welcome. I do respect the winners, regardless the way they win; especially in a game in which you basically can't cheat.

@VS: thinking about how you're gonna train up 3 players or more and introduce them to your starting 5 while setting the right tactics based on your own strenghts and your opponent's weaknesses is A LOT tougher than buying the most expensive players on the market who are gonna outplay their opponent whatever tactic you run.
