In my honest opinion, one of the topics that should be raised is the COMPLETE failure of the current draft system.
I am not saying I have all the answers (well, I'm not paid to work for BB) but if you're very lucky, you get a high potential rookie with low skills (some 7 or 8 at the utmost). That's about 5-6 of them per season overall in Belgium, For all the other teams, the kids you get are useless.
I believe in a new rookie profile with much better skills (9 or 10) and fair to good potential, or- if not - at least many more high potential rookies. Managers wouldnt lose too much motivation knowing there's a good young trainee coming up the following season and moreover, the transfer market would see some of its prices going down significantly. On top of it, it would give some hope to everyone that you wont get stuck in the same situation for 5 seasons in a row with an aging team while trying to save money and hope to land a 5m player.
Market has seen usp and downs, I remember 15 seasons ago that not-so-skilled PG-SF-PF (and even SG) would go for no less than 3m and no one was complaining. But there were 65k active managers! The simple fact that there are less managers means there are less players trained and it then becomes the normal law of supply and demand on the market. The only way to keep current managers motivation is to add more game-changer players into the game... Unless we get back to higher number of managers.
I could not agree more !
The current draft system is the first thing that should be reviewed in Buzzerbeater. There are way too few good players to be drafted, more than 90% of the players on the draft list are pretty useless, and can never become decent players, which are worth it to be trained.
The chances of drafting a good promising trainee are just waaaaay too low currently.
There should be a new drafting system installed were it is worthwhile to invest in drafting, and so where you have a good chance of drafting a talented promising player, which is worth it to be trained fully.
Currently, sadly,...this is not the case.
