Can it be understood that we don’t have to pick up potential players anymore, we just wait for others to train and grab them directly from the market. It’s better than saving money, right? -- 81 S 7 T.

If we can't benefit from it, why should we train players? We spend money and time to find players and train players, and then we can't renew our contract because of high wages, and we can only let them go? Then everyone will use all the budget to grab players. -- 81 S 7 T.

And what about old (without health) and overly expensive players? If a player has not been extended and has not been selected in a restricted player market, perhaps such a player would need to lower the minimum wage and be given the opportunity to play rather than simply ruin his career as skills fall out without being at the club (which is important for smaller national teams). I think such players could really still play in the lower leagues, but wages are too big for such teams, and here in the higher level teams they no longer have anything to do or simply such players take the place of a younger player of a similar level. At least with teams in their own country (or with teams with 6-7 image) such players who have not received contract offers in the limited player market could sign up in the simple market for less than the minimum wage -- 81 S 7 T.

This post sums up to "nothing is wrong with the games financial system" Which is odd because there are massive problems with the game financial system.

A WL3 teams is handed 18K more in sponsor revenue (minimum) than a WL4 team. That is a massive advantage. An advantage that helps keep a WL3 team where they are and is a barrier to a WL4 advancing.

I hear all these complaints about "giving away money" when a large amount of the income of every team is sponsor money "just given to them". The game has just decided to give more sponsor money to some teams as opposed to others.

Narrow the gap in sponsor money between the leagues. That will increase competition and teams will move between leagues more effectively. Going up won't be a crushing jump in competition and going down won't be a financial death sentence. -- 81 S 7 T.

Evinelis:
Why we cannot decrease the minimum salary is explained in the article (1. Minimum salary should be decreased (or removed))

Gudrioji Lape
If I remember correctly now in the market only players with age 30 and above have skills decreasing. Younger players' skills decrease was removed a few seasons ago. So this is not very far from your suggestion :)

dkerrigan
We don`t think that the gap between divisions is a problem. The smaller gap is between divisions, the more often teams will use “tanking” strategy to save money.
Also reducing the gap (increasing the amount of money in the game) would create huge inflation in players' prices (increase prices) . -- 81 S 7 T.

There are complaints because teams want to advance. But the goal of the game doesn't appear to be advancement. It appears to be avoiding bankruptcy.

Darius I do not agree with your findings 100%. Anytime a person looking for a job is unable to secure one with the wages they think is fair, they start to lower their demands just to eat and have a place to stay. The demand is not to lower all minimum wages, but to those that are not worth the average of other better trained or height advantaged players. And the gap between WL teams is ridiculous and needs to be reduced. Have you forgotten how I advised you my team was not one of the richest in the game when I had a few hundred k and soon after the 'rich tax' came into being? Obviously there is an issue. -- 81 S 8 T.

If a player is on the market and is offered 80k of salary and it is not worth it, it is the problem of whoever pays it. The explanations do not make sense, the reality shows something very different and it is an obvious punishment to those teams that invest in the training of players -- 81 S 8 T.

mancuso It's obvious that some clubs who don't pay attention to training players are complaining again. They don't have the patience to train players, so they want other people's players.

As long as the rules are consistent with everyone, the loser will always be the loser. -- 81 S 8 T.

-- (Übersetze) (Übersetze EN)

GM told us that ‘Players’ salaries are not set by some “formula” but they are determined by the demand (by the community).’, and then used the minimum wage to restrict everyone to sign players at the right price. Don’t you think this is ridiculous? Since wages are determined by the demand (by the community), why set a minimum wage? Isn’t this a contradiction? -- 81 S 8 T.

-- (Übersetze) (Übersetze EN)

GM told us'Reduce the prices of extending contracts (early extension) would lead to less good players in the limited market. So prices in the market would go up even more. Our goal is quite the opposite. We believe that it should be easier to find a player in the limited market. So that teams which advance to the upper league would have more chances to improve their rosters.'
I can't help but ask, are good players born good players? We have been training them since they were fourteen or fifteen years old, so that they have the best training coach and plenty of playing time. Then just let them go for nothing when they can help the team? So who will spend money to train young players in the future? We just save the money used to train players and go to the market to plunder. -- 81 S 8 T.

Agree on health skill inclusion,
For market salaries is it only market included or extension as well? One way to keep extension prices more reasonable is to include extension prices in market calculations.

One simple change that could bring salaries down across the board without giving anyone a dime would be to set a minimum roster size of 10. I run into teams often enough running with only 7 or 8 players on their roster. Why not? There doesn't seem to be the slightest reason not to.

How many 8 man rosters are seen in real basketball? 9 looks like its about the average roster size in game but in real basketball a team with only 9 can't even practice 5 on 5. To prevent teams from signing bums to fill out their roster who they don't play either have a penalty on future signings or just set a minimum player RT per league (or both). If minimum salaries are OK, I don't know why minimum RTs wouldn't be.

But, that does beg the question, if there is a minimum salary and everyone has to bid that or over to get a player. And every time a bid is won, the minimum salary goes up (or at best stays the same). How mathematically is it even possible for the minimum salary to trend down? -- 81 S 8 T.

-- (Übersetze) (Übersetze EN)

dkerrigan Excellent point on the last sentence. There is no way for minimum to drop, and hence a huge reason why salaries continue to inflate. The release players fee when it became an item was originally to prevent sniping other players. So why is it that I must pay the penalty when I release players that have always been on my team? Lots of things are not even considered in reality. -- 81 S 8 T.

Two American brothers, GM's main purpose is to attack training clubs. You think the problem is too complicated. In fact, it's very simple. It's just that we have worked hard to cultivate some excellent players, but the best part will never flow out, so their performance will never be good. They don't want to copy this training mode, but they want to rob. -- 81 S 8 T.

-- (Übersetze) (Übersetze EN)

I agree with

fourkings here. If there is no benefit for training your talent then no one will train new talent. Keeping 1 player every other year on a cheaper than market deal is not really significant / will make a team. The only middle ground is maybe limit the number of scouted players from 3 to 1 per season (does not account for denom). At the rate we are going, the situation as it stands for players will soon reflect what is currently going on with the cost of coaches..... -- 81 S 8 T.

-- (Übersetze) (Übersetze EN)

In the original game of this type, managers have been training players for a long time and getting personalized excellent players is the greatest pleasure for managers. It's great fun to watch the players who have been trained for 630 days finally gallop on the field as they wish. But what does GM want to do now? He wanted to take away the pleasure of the manager after 630 days of waiting. Just because some managers are complaining. He has to watch the players he has trained for two years leave. It was 630 days and nights

Although I have always said that I don't want to train young players under this system, if I don't train young players, I will not have fun in this game.

I'm very ambivalent and I don't know what made GM make this decision. -- 81 S 8 T.

2.1 3.3 a-darius

We used not to have early extension at all, and even then teams scouted and trained players. Let’s not forget that in the limited market there also are discounts. So I believe that even if prices for early extensions are more similar to market prices - ability to grow your own player will not disappear from the game.

The minimum salary might not look logical. But in the same way early extension is not logical and many other things but each of these have their own purpose.

As for health skills - that is a bit more complicated. Average salary formula is based on “similar players prices in the market”. Right now there are not many players with bad health and including this criteria would lead to not-logical numbers.
The other option would be to somehow re-make the calculation of RT and include health. Probably someday in the future we will come back to this question and investigate possible options more deeply.

About players in the team I personally don't like this situation at all.
But the reason for that is not economical. If in real life team owners would be 100% sure that their players will not get any injury and will not have “bad shape” during all season - we would see a lot of teams with 7-8 players, too.
But this is a big topic for another time - it is not related to economics. -- 81 S 9 T.

Wilt100

Darius, one suggestion which could help reduce minimum salaries would be introducing an "effective RT" which would be based only on actual skill values, discounting any reserves. E.g. older players, who hit the market drop skills, and their 12 skills become 11.9, which are far less effective but the player costs almost the same as prior to skills drop. Effective RT would always be lower than actual as 11.9 skill would count as 11.0 for effective RT calculation purposes. If minimum salaries for 30+yo players were calculated on "effective RT", this could help make the minimum salaries more sensible. -- 81 S 10 T.

Game manager, production capacity has been the driving force of development. And you're punishing producers and encouraging robbers. In the next game career, I will always observe the early renewal amount of similar players in different countries, and be a robber according to your wishes. As for my player who has only 8 potential, trained for 630 days and needs 29000 euros to renew his contract, I just think it's a joke.

As for your changing the rules again and again, it reminds me of table tennis. As long as I can't win, it must be a matter of rules. -- 81 S 10 T.

Out of curiosity, I opened a one month standard membership and inquired about 24-year-old players with five season contracts. I was surprised to find that there was only one player above 29000 euros and no more than 10 players above 20000 euros. Now you tell me that the salary for renewal is calculated according to the average salary, and their average salary is 29000 euro. It's so interesting. -- 81 S 10 T.

-- (Übersetze) (Übersetze EN)

dkerrigan

Well its pretty clear from the original post and the subsequent posts from the game that pricing a certain tier RT player right out of the game is the intention in order to lower league RT averages across the board.

So, instead of the top teams throwing all their money at 9 and 10 potential players, they will throw it all at 7 and 8 potential players so prices on those players will skyrocket.

And all the lower tier teams who have been carefully developing the players the top teams didn't want previously will get priced right out of all their work on the market.

Going back to basics, this is a game and its supposed to be fun. None of this is fun. Doubt that was much of a factor in whatever went into making this ridiculous plan. -- 81 S 10 T.

-- (Übersetze) (Übersetze EN)

The average health of the top 10 RT Lithuanian players is 70%. 3 of them are 50% or less. Who would pay good money for these players? How can you say there is not many players with low health? Darius you need to be a bit more open eyed on what is actually the problems. To be sure, here is a short list that I consider big issues:

1-Minimum wages calculated on forced values, not actual market value of players ( since we are forced to bid at least x EU ).

2- Teams being able to operate with 7 players and never foul out. Totally ridiculous, and obviously blatant cheating going on due to this fact.

3- Draft players that come out with high potential always have either very low RT and or health compared to scouted players with same potential. Differences in payouts per league tier is too much, stifling advancement opportunities.

4- Giving teams that promote free draft points in the 1 to 3 thousand range. I had 440 and teams got free 3000? What a joke.

These are just the glaring things, IMHO. -- 81 S 10 T.

If the clubs that train young players can get a big discount in the restricted player market, then this amendment is reasonable and acceptable.

What I want to say here is that the discount must take into account the amount of money invested by the clubs that cultivate young players. It is not only the salary of the players, but also the relevant trainers and the time cost.

In addition, the current number of early contract renewal is really meaningless. If it is feasible, my suggestion is to reduce the number of early contract renewal (for example, one player and one coach can be renewed every season, and one foreign player can be renewed every other season), and reduce the salary of early contract renewal. -- 81 S 11 T.

2.2 4.4 joancrumor

I believe that some aspects of the game can be improved, it is not to argue but we must analyze the situation of the game.
It is very easy to go bankrupt for various reasons, usually due to ignorance and others due to greed, how many times a player is hired in the market for a very high salary and a month the team goes bankrupt, I have seen it a lot.
For those teams that try to create homegrown players, in contract renewals there may be a discount bonus to the salary, for example -10% on the average salary, the nationality of the player can also be entered for that bonus, there are many possibilities to alleviate the rise progressive salary for modest teams.
From my short experience in the game, the last changes have not improved the game, for example the draft.
I think that before modifying more things in the game, you would have to think about this very well, so as not to make a serious gameplay error. -- 81 S 11 T.

Well I'll put my two cents , first scouting sucks now, just remove it at all , unless im extremely unlucky, in a year i've invested over 300k and got 5pot talent, now im standing with bunch of draft points that I'll probably use in 5 seasons at best with current draft updates. and agree , that health should be added in calculation for minimum salary. another thing like review salary ceilings , i do not think a 4wl club needs 150k, make a 100k and then above give them taxes, just like nba. Could also put ceiling on how much you can offer to a player, maybe if it's top tier talent like 50k, and then in the end if 5 clubs offered him 50k he could look into, popularity, winning percentage and other shit . -- 81 S 11 T.

dkerrigan

Almost all of this goes back to how teams acquire players and how much should they cost.

I thought

fourkings made an excellent point that for teams that develop players the benefits given have to match the costs, time and patience.

And his point is in direct conflict with what

a-darius said that teams that choose not to develop talents should be able to find decent players in the market ... for a bit bigger price.

Why exactly should teams that ignore an entire portion of the game only have to pay "a bit" more?

Teams developing players spend a lot more than "a bit" developing them. A team can save a ton of money ignoring scouting and training completely. That savings gives them a lot more "bits" to use in the market than the teams who do. -- 81 S 11 T.

Dkerrigan: what do you think how big “discount” (in percentages) player should give for his first team compared to other offers? -- 81 S 11 T.

-- (Übersetze) (Übersetze EN)

6.32 7.30

I have an offer for scouted players in market: calculate average from two highest bids (from different managers), then add discount. Example of formula:
1st bid - 25k, 2nd bid - 15k. Discount 10% (I will use this amount of discount for ex). (25+15)/2*0,9=18k.
What's the point? It will decrease impact of crazy offers.
Two more examples for this idea:
1. 10 offers around 20k and one offer for 40k. Probably this player isn't worth 40k, because only one thinks that (he could have some reasons to overpay). In these days you will extend him for 36k. My offer is let extend contract for (20+40)/2*0,9=27k.
2. 1st highest bid - 42k, 2nd bid - 38k. It means that there is not one manager opinion, it's something near player worth. So calculations could look like: (42+38)/2*0,9=36k -- 81 S 11 T.

-- (Übersetze) (Übersetze EN)

2.1 3.3 a-darius

During the last few days I investigated quite a lot of different statistics and examples (early extension prices, bonuses in restricted market, prices in free market).

Let's go with one example (one of the team that complains about this situation a lot)
Weekly salary of the main team players + coaches: 363k Eu/week
The same salary without discount in restricted market: 428k Eu/week (18% is the minimum discount that teams get for their own scouted players in restricted market)
Difference: 428 - 363 = 65k saved every week (585k saved in a season)
Such numbers would be if restricted market is used.
As in many cases an early extension is used - the amount of the saved money is even bigger.

I understand that scouting and growing players cost money. But the discounts in the restricted market are quite big now.

Not to mention the fact that teams with their own players save a lot of money because they avoid expensive mistakes in the market.

Now almost all top players never reach the market and that is not OK. So if there is a need for correction - it should be in a completely opposite direction.

We used to have situation when early extension prices were similar to the market prices. In that case the amount of “early extensions” decrease (now we do not see that) -- 81 S 11 T.

a-darius I know this is counter to what you just said, but I think the advantage to teams developing players should be given through the extension and not discounts in the limited market. I think the savings should be dramatic and be applied regardless of whether its a 2 or 5 year extension. Adjust the benefit based on the players opinion of the team and the personnel sector.

I think it should be extension based because the number of extensions is limited. With discounts applied in the limited market every scouted player sees the benefit. If it is extension based, the team who scouted the player gets to keep their pick of players but not everyone. Choices have to be made and players have to be risked.

I think the benefit should be dramatic because (a) the costs and time to develop players is dramatic and (b) higher tier teams have a dramatic financial advantage due to the disparity of revenue between league levels. This makes the market fundamentally inequitable in a game where the goal is to climb a ladder. The top teams get the most money so they get the best players and stay on top indefinitely. Keeping some players off the market completely acts as a check on that.

In general, I don't think the game should be balanced around teams who don't scout and develop anymore than it should be balanced around teams who don't have a coach. Developing players should be a requirement for a certain level of success. Sure, you don't have to if you really don't want to, but your only going to get so far if you don't. A team that primarily relies on the market to supply its roster should find life difficult. -- 81 S 11 T.

a-darius I do not find this statement correct : "Now almost all top players never reach the market and that is not OK. So if there is a need for correction"
Why?
These strong players if they go on the market it is assumed that they will go to those few clubs that can spend. thus forming few all-star teams that raid the best talents of the poorest teams.
Consequently, no one wastes time and money to train a player that as soon as he goes on the market he loses him.
The current early renewal system works and must remain unchanged. These renewals are already limited in number by regulation. -- 81 S 11 T.

what you did not take into account in your investigation Darius, that is why I ask you to continue in the limited market, that in practice much of that saving that you say is obtained, is lost because the wages that are paid at that stage many times They are much higher than the average, today many even mediocre players have several offers that raise their contracts a lot, so today the one who invests and trains is harmed and the one who only comes out to hire in the markets benefits. On top of that, many times later they fall into bankruptcy because they cannot afford those salaries, but the damage they have already done. -- 81 S 12 T.

I just checked the top players Darius mentioned all the time and found that among the top 10 players in the game, eight are Chinese players, and among the top 30 players in the game, 17 are from China, which is more than the sum of other countries. I think before considering whether the strongest players should always play for a club, Darius should first consider why other countries can't produce so many excellent players. Don't we play the same game under the same rules? Why can't clubs in other countries cultivate their own players, but ask those clubs that have the ability to cultivate the best players to share their players? I can tell you that the best players can only be produced under the best system. These clubs have invested a lot of money and painstaking efforts. These clubs can enjoy the peak period of these excellent players with preferential prices, which is completely a financial sharing. During the growth period of these excellent players, the club's funds have already been injected into their careers. If these clubs can't control the best players, then these clubs can not invest the money and effort. I love the game, but I don't like the one-sided change of Darius. So far, if Darius continues to make such one-sided changes, I will run my club in a different way. I will show you that a good manager is different from others under any rule. -- 81 S 12 T.

You missed the point of the article. The article is not about changes we did or changes we plan to do. It is just an explanation of how the economics work in the game.
We do not change the direction of the game. The same economic model we use throughout the entire history of the game and we plan to maintain it in the future.

Even in game`s help section it is written that early extension is similar to market price:
“Players from scouts want to prolong contracts for average salary of similar players (also depends on contract length) and denominative player - for smaller than average salary. “

Now the average price is growing - so the early extension price is growing together with it.

And after reviewing the situation (by your request) I have a completely opposite opinion about what changes are needed.
However right now the game is in transition period (creating less supertalents compared to previous version). So probably the best way would be to wait and let everything settle down a bit before doing any drastic changes -- 81 S 12 T.

Darius, can you explain how the player who almost gets the highest salary is explained by the average salary. You know, this player needs 29000 euros to renew his contract in advance. If the price is the same, no matter how you explain it, I will think you are attacking the club that trains the players. As I have said before, young players can't produce any value in training players, but they have started to receive high salaries. After more than ten seasons of training, do you still have to pay such a high salary? I say you can't be too one-sided. -- 81 S 13 T.

I have a couple suggestions. Most managers don't like the limited market and hate losing young talent on it.
1. Compensation if you lose a player. In the US, the NFL is king. When a football team loses a player to the market that team gets compensation. I suggest if a team loses a player on the limited, they get cash compensation equal to one years salary of the lost player.
2. Make it easier to trade players for young talent. Most managers know when they will have a tough time keeping a player. The current trade system makes it impossible to trade players for prospects. My suggestion is, instead of basing the rt match on current rt, base it on predicted rt. Also, base the wage match on what a player with that predicted rt would make.
This wouldn't eliminate player movement, but it would make it easier to move players a manager knows they will lose. Plus, it would give managers compensation for their investment if they do lose a player. -- 81 S 13 T.

-- (Übersetze) (Übersetze EN)

Just to clarify my above suggestion, the compensation funds for losing a player wouldn't come from the team signing the player. It would come from basketpulse. This is key as forcing a signing team to pay additional cash would be prohibitive to player movement. -- 81 S 13 T.

Extension prices weren't increased on purpose. It increases because extending was too cheap and was considered a bug that many exploited for a quite long time. Now when it is patched and reflects real prices of a player - we complain. Those prices are from the market to similar players (taking in the account not only current RT of a player, but also it's future prediction of potential and RT).

Majority has to understand that prices were not increased to do so on purpose but it was a bug fix. All the crazy offers some players receive during free/limited market adds to increased prices of those extension.

And I will repeat myself for the third time - it wasn't increased on purpose, it was done by fixing a bug.

So please stop attacking administration for a wrong reason. Article was written to explain how economics work in this game, not to ask suggestions on how economics should be run in it. -- 81 S 13 T.

It costs a lot of time and money to train a player. In real life, clubs spend a lot of money on training youth teams, because they can sell players to make money. But in BP, once a player enters the restricted market and is bought by other teams, it means that all the previous investment is gone. GM should consider how to protect these training clubs.Unfortunately, GM is moving in the opposite direction. If no player is willing to train players in the future, the price of players will only be higher -- 81 S 13 T.

RaZeev: yes we know that BasketPulse has this feature. This is one of the reasons why you and others can still play this game.

We have about 1000 users who play daily and only a few of them buy money.
And as recently we increased credits prices - we have even less money purchases now.
So I believe that this “unfairness” is a “fair” price to pay to have this game available for everyone.

And the impact to the market is very small. Average salary is calculated from at least 20 similar players/coaches. So one or two bigger offers affect average salary insignificantly. -- 81 S 14 T.

2.1 3.3 a-darius

Average salary is based on offers from the market's history of the past few seasons.
It is calculated from at least 20 similar players/coaches. If the number of similar players is not enough - then it calculates again with broadened range until at least 20 similar records are found.

This method has a few issues. One of them is that now we look at the final offer the player chose. In many cases that includes the discount based on the situation - scouted/sectors/country (can be even ~50%).
If we only looked at free market history where we have a bit less discounts - we would get bigger average salaries. But there is another problem - too little data.

Probably in the future we will increase the average salary to be closer to the free market numbers (not the restricted market) and apply more bonuses for early extensions. -- 81 S 16 T.

Y'all saying this isn't fair as it "punishes everyone" definitely have little to none knowledge of how big cheating issue is.

One way or another, everyone now shouting "it's not fair" have received disadvantage of users cheating:
- strengthening your opponent via trade/borrowing;
- Intentional losses to promote other team into top16 or cheap tickets to make you lose a match so other team from the group benefits into playoffs;
- malicious bids on your players from farm teams as you just bid on main-account team.

It isn't some small issue, administration has actually tried multiple ways, but some community members just comeback and help their countries to develop/scout/draft better talent via borrowing/trades.

Hence that video about recently banned team cluster was made 8 months ago. And to be fair, there is way more such clusters while two people that work on this game cannot dedicate enough hours to easily look for all cheating teams 24/7. Game has FPC, but there is currently only 1 member that can sincerely distinguish this behavior. Rest, to be honest, just don't care much.

I also suggest that if premium expires borrowed player immediately should go back to his main team, so when talking about lending it will not be about minutes and coach but also add a bank statement if you have enough to extend it.

1.1 2.1 Aurimas.

Houdi, how limiting lending will help solve those problems?
- Intentional losses to promote other team into top16 or cheap tickets to make you lose a match so other team from the group benefits into playoffs;
- malicious bids on your players from farm teams as you just bid on main-account team.
About lending problem thats the smallest impact for cheaters. The only benefit they get probably is that they are able to lend overpaid prospect which nobody would borrow normally with such salary. To prevent cheating in trades I believe there was one major update to make a team who will figure it out of that was cheating or not. If I remember well, its called FPC, and if we need such changes now, looks like the fpc update was a waste of time and they not doing what they supposed to do? Maybe fpc area requires some updates too? -- 98 S 25 T.

HeyHoudini I believe that everyone here understands that cheating is a huge issue and needs to be dealt with. But the concern is that using the wrong approach will lead to the opposite of intended effect.
If even a little bit of logical thinking is used, it's very easy to conclude that using paywall to try to combat cheating will lead to the percentage of cheaters (vs non-cheaters) to increase - that is because most of BP's users are non-cheaters who don't/can't use premium and they will be the ones who will stop playing. -- 98 S 25 T.

Can someone explain to me how we got conclusion that because we cheated with trades we need to take completely different mechanics of the game and hide Ii behind paywall and it will solve problem.
How you can even cheat with borrowed players? First you need team strong enought to be higher than your main team, second you need player that is good and cheap. Third even if you are successful in 1 and 2 you won't necessarily gain any in game adventance because they are really good players on marker without cheating.

2.1 3.3 a-darius

1. Pay to win:
We hear about "pay to win" for multiple years.
Many of you at some point in the past wrote similar messages about one or another feature (for example, the ability to improve trade level).
Each time we hear that without spending tons of money you cannot achieve anything.
I just checked the first world league regular season leaders - all 4 clubs do not have PREMIUM.
Users in the game still can achieve good results without PREMIUM, and that is a fact.
A few seasons ago I looked at the TOP20 users who bought the most credits - most of them never won the game.
Yes, paying real money helps. And probably with time it will help even more. Let's be realistic - nobody is paying for "cosmetics".
However, we will continue to try to have a healthy balance so that free users with a bit more work could have good chances to climb UP and fight for becoming the champion of the BasketPulse.

2. Borrowing availability to PREMIUM vs all users
Currently, limiting for PREMIUM is just a long-term plan.
We don't have an exact date for this.
If we significantly stop cheating sooner, we might be able to avoid this.
I see some other possible options which probably will be tried before moving this fully under PREMIUM.
In the worst-case scenario, if we go that way, we will try to compensate somehow (one of the alternatives for this "extra" player would be to switch drafts to two rounds instead of one).

3. How paywall helps reduce cheating
Now for users to cheat is very simple. You just use a VPN to create a new team and you can start making a mess.
By moving the riskiest features under PAYWALL, we make cheating a lot more difficult.
Even if there will be one cheater with a lot of money - we can faster identify and punish them because we have fewer cheating "suspects".
Also, cheating would be expensive and in the end, cheaters would risk not only their teams but also their money they spend for PREMIUMs.

4. Family members:
Right now, many of our players have "brother", "cousins", "roommates".
Let's be realistic - mostly are fake teams.
If these teams do not do any action between each other, there is not much we can do. I don't want to ban by accident some real brothers.
However, "brother's team" still can be used to attack somebody in the market, to trade/borrow/lend players with another "friendly club" (who might have its own brother to help you in return...).
I understand that we probably have some real families where a few players play BasketPulse, however, we cannot sacrifice so much for a few individuals.
It is not logical to stop improving the game just to spend hours looking at trades/IPs/borrowing and other data just to ban few users...

5. Borrowing/lending:
Also, I want to point out that nothing changes with lending players - there won't be any restrictions for that.

It takes time and efforts much harder than trying to advertise your player on discord.

1.1 3.1 antisergey

1. According to information in "Community" section number of clubs in BasketPulse now is 8546. Recently 16 "cheater" teams were found and banned - that's about 2/1000 (less than 1%). Now some in-game changes are going to be made, but the basis of these changes is 1% of rare (?) cases of cheating, not 99% of common clubs which follow the rules. That seems rather strange and, as mentioned above, is kind of "collective punishment".
2. I think there are some methods which can be used for suspicious cases (trades, market offers). Fair play committee works with trades (just voting? or some analysis of players, teams and their possible connections?). Market offers can be somehow analyzed - list of bids is available - though such analysis will be a large amount of work. Trading and buying/selling players for teams from the same IP address can be restricted.
3. Lending/borrowing players doesn't seem to be connected with cheating - at least it's not mentioned in the article as a way to infairly get advantage. So yes, "many people may not like these changes" - not because "there are no other options", but because some changes seem to be not explicitly connected with cheating. -- 98 S 25 T.

total max: 1492 teams - and I'm a big optimist
shared IP: there are so many possibilities to introduce rules prohibiting joint trading and trading through a third party, etc. But pushing it through Premium seems to me to take the easy way out, instead of taking a moment to think and provide rules to limit fraudsters from exploiting the system's imperfections.

rexhung-bot

Why don't directly ban all teams from the same IP? I think this is a much easier solution. This way a large amount of same IP cheating will be reduced.

For borrowing players, I personally don't think it's good to become a supporter only feature, since this would be harsh and unfriendly for free players. Those rather newer players are the ones having the most need to borrow players, in order to have good players in a relatively low salary before they develop a network of player development, and have more sponsors. Some high RT players are just too expensive for newer managers to afford. -- 98 S 26 T.

1.1 1.1 lantieheuser

1.Cheating in the game is not okay. Although we all know that it's difficult to completely eradicate cheating in this kind of game, some restrictions are the right direction.

2.Considering the number of players in this game; frankly, the probability of encountering players with the same IP address consecutively is very low. Restricting family players essentially implies a presumption of guilt for free players and a presumption of innocence for paying players. However, presumption of innocence is not equal to innocence. I don't think it's the most ideal approach, but it's acceptable from an efficiency standpoint. After all, from the perspective of restricting cheating, family players do increase management costs.

3.I disagree with the modifications to leasing. Essentially, the borrowing team should only need to pay the base salary. In the current salary structure：The base salary is more focused on reflecting the player's current strength and value, while the portion beyond the base salary reflects the player's future appreciation. It's relatively reasonable for the using team to pay for the strength value and the lending team to pay for the future value.

4.Regarding malicious bidding: BP's cost of abandoning contracts is too low, and the method of calculating contract value is also problematic. Which sane player would accept a 24k/1yr contract and give up a 22K/5yrs contract? Moreover, why, in extreme situations, is the penalty for abandoning a contract only 6.6% of the total contract value?
This is the foundation of all market value chaos and malicious bidding, and I look forward to BP making appropriate changes in this regard. -- 98 S 26 T.

a-darius

Could you please explain in a bit more detail how the borrowing side of lending/borrowing gains an advantage with cheating?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but with the current information that you have provided, it seems like this:
* goal of cheater is to get their main team [A] to be as competitive as possible
* they create other teams [B,C,...] to help achieve that goal
* as [B,C,...] are in lower league than [A], players can be only borrowed from [A] to [B,C,...]
* from lending players, [A] gets some financial gain and some more playing time for lower level players in [B,C,...]

If those points are correct, would it not be more effective to limit the lending side?
From the help page I can see that 5 players can be lent. Have you considered lowering that number to limit the benefits of [A]? -- 98 S 26 T.

1.1 6.22 elprof

I very much like lantieheuser's 3rd point (and also the 4th point btw). Having the lending team pay for the base salary and the borrowing team pay for the "extra" so to speak. That makes sense to me. I also feel like a system similar to trade restriction would work for lending/borrowing, but then tied to user rank. Since ranks are easily managed and have a clear set of requirements before being achieved, all it would take is requirements that are increasingly difficult to reach. This by itself has a very large potential for discouraging lending/borrowing by people using multiple teams.

For example, only users with Silver or higher rank can use borrowing/lending unrestricted like how it is now. In order to get Silver it takes 15 seasons, which is 2.5 years of playing. Not to mention the teams would have to reach WL3 to get there. The amount of effort it would take for a fake team to get that far and keep it up that long seems like a massive deterent to me. At least a much better option than making it a premium feature.
One issue with this is the need to evaluate these volunteers to make sure no cheaters are among them but at least it's something for you to consider. Another issue is that there might be existing cheaters who have high rank by now because they've gone relatively unchecked for so long.

Another thing that I noticed.. HeyHoudini says that only 1 member of the FPC "cares" enough to actually investigate cheating. That sounds to me like the FPC needs a major update because I was always under the assumption that the FPC is one of the things standing between fair users and cheaters. Maybe it's time to implement a team of volunteers whose sole purpose is to investigate cheating. They shouldn't have the power to shut down other users without the green light from higher management but it could be a way to reduce the number of suspects without requiring major input from existing management. No one solution is going to be perfect. But maybe by using multiple at the same time we can start to get somewhere.

PS: I personally don't feel like premium is pay to win at all. Most of the features you get are quality of life things (like filters, future tactics, training history etc.). Being able to buy your way into a better trade restriction or just straight up buying ingame money is another story though. -- 98 S 27 T.

We've told you a ton of times, with these changes, they're killing the game. And the free users always end up getting it, and the premium users do whatever they want... that's where the problem lies, with the premium users.

Whenever they release a new rule, it's for the free users. They stop us from doing things, while the premium users do whatever they want. Don't look away. Honestly, it's getting tiring. -- 105 S 15 T.

They sell it as a free game for everyone, but when you log in, everything is completely different.

It should simply be a pay-to-win game, no strings attached, no lies. -- 105 S 15 T.

Well, if users could follow the game rules, there would be fewer restrictions.

Let’s take you as an example. Even after this article, you were punished because you broke the game rules (another team was playing from your IP, and you ignored related rules).

There is no logical reason for us to spend most of our time providing support and investigating cheating attempts instead of improving the game - especially since, in most of these cases, the teams involved never contributed to the game.

And these changes were definitely positive regarding how many cheating cases we need to investigate -- 105 S 15 T.
