Why people bid last second?

Why do people bid right at the last second even though there is bids :/ its not like they are going to win it if they are last to bid. Even in knockout rounds when some one bids at 15s, they have to wait till last 1s again :/ are they simple or is it a programme thinf that does it for them?

It's a tactical maneuver that people use on bidding to try and out smart others in bidding wars.

well it cant be tactical as its dumb. while your here and no one as replied to my other post can u tell me "that force counter attack on orders, is it for my team to counter attack or opponents" thanks!

True but not entirely true.

Half the time it is tactical, the other half is stupidity where they dont understand the process or they dont care to.

What I find the most frustrating is the people who bid multiple times per round. If I am a token buyer, this is not an issue as I dont mind the final buying price because I just buy more $$$, but when you dont buy tokens, this pisses you off because the idiot drives up the price.

I had a guy yesterday that spent 4 tokens each round. I think he was trying to tell me that he wanted the player and was not going to give up. So I went 49 rounds with him and lost on purpose so I would not have to pay the $$$. I dont mind losing the tokens because I will just buy more in this case, but I did it just to spite him because I would rather buy a scout for 50 tokens and the amount of $$$ he spent on a 5 star player.

I read yesterday that you did the same thing with your second account with 100 tokens...I feel the same way. Make idiots pay the price for their stupidity.

I buy tokens but not spend alot. probably once a month! i usually watch vids etc. yeah thats another one too bid 4 times in 1 round :/

It's a good tactic to bid in last one and it's giving you an advantage, but also you are risking a lot.

Its a good tactic but can easily be worked against you. I prefer to bid first for 2 reasons:

1) It shows that I'm in the game...I want the player.
2) Bid first and the other player is forced to bid to stay in the game. The next round, he is in control and you bid at the final 2-3 seconds and win because most of the time people dont want to spend that extra token to make sure you win.

I have won MANY an auction like this.

If you bid in the last second you can snipe bidders who didn't bid.. But of course, this is stupid if an early bid is placed because it just makes more effort to try and squeeze a bid in the last second even when any bid at any time would have qualified the player

As what @cracicot said... People who bid multiple rounds probably don't know what they're doing, they think it's ebay where the highest bidder at the time of ending, wins the auction... Someone take these players to Room 101, they need coaching on how to play this game right lol

I am using both tactics, at the start, in first 3,4 rounds I am bidding right at the start, then I bid in last 5-3 seconds, giving him the fake impression that I am out of tokens and after that the final attack in the last second. (is working very good).

Good strategy, I've also won auctions this way.

Point taken. This is quite similar to my strategy, haven´t lost a bid since I started to play. Just bailed twice in a favour for a friend and a opponent.

I tend to switch the play around in auctions. sometimes I place the bid in early in the KO Round, sometimes at the end of the KO Round, sometimes in the middle of the KO Round. Try to confuse the other bidder sometimes. But normally on my main account I value a player first before entering the bidding wars. 2 seasons ago I got outbid 25 KO rounds on a 18 year old 5*94 MR playmaker simply because I was not willing to bid more than 25 KO Rounds so I dropped out and waited for another auction.

With the Troll City account. Yeah that was done on purpose, purely for entertainment purposes, That went 87 KO Rounds which I won in the end. All those tokens were obtained by saving them up over 4 seasons or a few videos and it's an account I would use approx a 35T/season budget otherwise. If I had been bidding on a similar player on my main account, I would of dropped out at KO Round 10.

its stupidity , sometimes more than 10 players bid in last second

If they r using mobile device, there is a way to stop last second bid. Hope u all know what i mean ;)

You mean by sending a friend request in the last few seconds so it takes up the space where he places a bid so he cant bid at the last second?

Sorry, I have to say that a cheat and a dirty trick are one and the same.

When you send the friend request at the last moment, you are cheating this person out of a legitimate auction that should be fair to everyone.

You say this is a dirty trick and not cheating? How is this not cheating? If one did this "dirty trick", would they not be keeping the other person from making a legitimate offer by using any means possible, in this case, a friend request? This is plain and simple cheating.

Next you are going to tell me that a BJ from Monica Lewinsky was not cheating on Hillary Clinton? I am sure there is a dirty trick joke in there somewhere, but we are not talking about a dress, we are talking about an auction.

I use this same tatics.And another good thing is when there 3 or 4 free agents in a row ,usually there will be same managers trying to make some money.If you go to higher rounds for the 1st player and win , they will quit from another ones and you could win with just one token.

a dictionary definition does not suffice in this case. Because there is no written rule does not mean there is no moral/ethical or unwritten rule.

You are preventing someone from bidding in an auction. How is that NOT cheating??? Using an exploit in a game is cheating. It doesnt get more obvious.

I have played many a computer game and have seen many "cheats" for many games. They are not illegal or against the rules, as they dont put in the game rulebook to "not cheat". It is clearly an unwritten and understood rule. BUT it is available for all to do, just put in the code and you are invulnerable or infinity ammo...whatever.

Just dont try to justify behaviour like this as a dirty trick and not cheating.

All that to say, it is cheating...but I like that instead of spending 30 tokens in a bidding war with some retard that bid multiple times every round......:rolleyes:

This bug was only on Android devices and has been removed. Using it was considering an exploit.

If anyone encounters this bug again, I urge them to contact Nordeus support right away.

anyway, we do so much we can for our own benefit :rolleyes:

honestly im new but i think there is no fave tactic... in my last season i bough 2 players with 4 starts almost 5 (they were both 29) at first and only bid :)

it is never good to bid in the last second. the only time you gain an advantage from this is if the other person you are bidding against is leading and thinks you have given up. When you bid in the last sec he has no chance to reply.

BUT - everyone who bids in the last second despite there already being bids put in that round; they are all just pure stupid. they gain NOTHING by doing that.

I'm pretty sure some people have last second bid bots, so they dont waste a Token when the other guy gives up but they always bid if the other guy bids
