Economic model of BasketPulse

2021-04-18

In almost every discussion with the community we get suggestions regarding:

give teams more money
reduce salaries in the market
reduce (or remove at all) minimum salary
create more good players (coaches)
reduce early extension prices
and etc.

We will try to explain everything in one place.

In BasketPulse we use a different economic model compared to other similar type games. Economics in BasketPulse is quite similar to real life. You can find and learn a lot about real economics just by playing this game. Players’ salaries are not set by some “formula” but they are determined by the demand (by the community).

Sometimes the players’ prices increase, sometimes decrease. That happens due to various reasons:

changes in community size (for example, when China’s community joined the game, there were a lot of new users and this led to significant increase of prices)
changes in players' amount in the market. At the meantime we have less TOP level players with their prices going UP. And it was the opposite when guaranteed players’ feature was introduced in the game - salaries decreased because a lot of TOP level talents were created.
game updates. For example, when the “early extensions” were introduced in the game, prices in the market increased - because the best players never reached the market.
money inflation (deflation). If teams get more or less money the prices change as well. So if there are updates in finances and amount of money changes - players’ prices are affected as well.
many other reasons.

But the changes in prices should not be a problem. When players’ prices increase, teams just start playing with lower RT players. Some team managers find this out sooner, some later.
The same is with players’ amount and RT. More (or better) players mean lower or higher average RT in the leagues.

During the game’s history we had a lot of different periods (teams got less or more money; there have been better or worse players). But one thing never changes - some users are always asking for “more money” or “more good talents”. And some other teams (playing this game without buying credits) achieve the best results.

We understand that handling finances is quite a difficult task, but we do not plan to withdraw this model.
Answers to the most often suggestions:

1. Minimum salary should be decreased (or removed)
The minimum salary was introduced in the game because the situation without it was bad. And with time it will probably increase some more.
The reason is quite simple. Without (or with low) minimum salary, average RT (and players’ age) in lower leagues is bigger. This means that it is impossible to give playing time for younger players in lower leagues. Thus franchise players become useless.
And our goal is quite the opposite - average RT in lower leagues should be similar to franchise players’ RT. Franchise players should be real help for the new teams.

2.1 Increase the amount of good talents (coaches) in the game.
2.2 Improve scouts’ chances to find better players (coaches)
Earlier, at some point, 220-250 RT players were considered super talents and played in the first league. Basically, the more good talents are created, the better talents users want. In the last scouts system there were many 8-9 potential talents. And with time we want to change this in the opposite direction.
Basically, having more good talents in the game does not increase the chances to compete. It just increases the average players’ RT.
A team gets better players, also this team’s opponents get better players. After some time the same team will suggest again - to create more good talents.

3.1 Reduce the prices of extending contracts (early extension)
3.2 Allow extending the contracts of more players
That 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.
The whole idea of early extensions was never intended to allow extending the contracts cheaper. It was created to give teams the possibility to reduce the risk of getting illogical bidding in the limited market.
The correct prices for early extensions should be similar to the actual prices in the market (not lower).

4. Reduce the cost of releasing players.
The compensation of releasing players was increased and decreased many times but there is no “silver bullet”. If the compensation is increased, it gets difficult for teams to avoid bankruptcy. If the compensation is decreased - there are more “stupid” offers is in the market.

What updates can be considered in the future
1. During the limited market, display players from the free market as well. These players would be easier to sign as there is no “current team, that can beat your offer”
2. With the inclusion of the feature “players’ special skills” more different players would be created. And this way there would be more players in the market as well. Few examples:

Some players would always go for the highest bid (no discounts for anything, no early extensions)
Some players would be extremely loyal and give bigger discount for the current club
Some players would like to play in their own country and give bigger discount for it
Some players would like to play in the upper leagues
Some players would like to play for the title
Some players would like to play as many minutes as possible

3. Increase the rate how often players finish their careers. After the inclusion of health skill in the game, players’ career significantly prolonged and now we have the situation that their average salary sometimes is even lower than the minimum salary, which looks illogical.

Prices of players (coaches) in the future
After removing the “guaranteed picks”, we expect that 9-10 potential talents’ amount in the game will be reduced.
Also in the last few seasons we started to buy ads - so we have more active users (a few seasons ago we had ~800 users who play every day, now we have near 1000).
So we expect that competition even in lower leagues will grow and together with that, prices for the players will also grow. So eventually this should lead to lower average players’ RT in the leagues.
But this is exactly what we want - it will help to easier raise franchise player and middle level young talents (5-6 potential)

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 g.

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 g.

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.

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.

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.

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 g.

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 g.

-- (tercüme et) (tercüme et EN)

TheWizardKs

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 g.

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.

They don't want to copy this training mode, but they want to rob. -- 81 S 8 g.

-- (tercüme et) (tercüme et 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 g.

2.1 3.2 fourkings

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 g.

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 g.

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 g.

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.

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 g.

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 g.

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.

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 g.

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 g.

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 g.

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 g.

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

-- (tercüme et) (tercüme et EN)

7.64 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 g.

-- (tercüme et) (tercüme et EN)

3.4 4.6 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 g.

dkerrigan

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 g.

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 g.

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 g.

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 g.

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 g.

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 g.

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 g.

-- (tercüme et) (tercüme et 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 g.

1.1 2.2 HeyHoudini

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 g.

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 g.

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 g.

3.4 4.6 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 g.

Some of the smaller communities, such as ours, lose the local players that we scout because extending is too expensive. Maybe you could have the players extend contract with the team they were scouted by for a little cheaper? This will encourage people to train players from scouts more and not just chase Lithuanian or Chinese players in the market don't you think?
