I have a serious question to ask and that is what is wrong with farming players from utopia to your original team thats kinda like saying having a dleauge for nba aint allowed because of how much money you make? im curious to why it isnt allowed? Farming players should be allowed because logically in real life farming is a process players go to in order to reach the nba or higher division if they aint good enough kinda like when a player transfers from division 2 to division 1 and waits a year. Farming is allowed in real life and it makes more money so why isnt it allowed on here? in the NHL the AHL in Canada is called a (FARM) team and its like i said earlier its a process and better yet the poor teams who dont make NHL playoffs send down there players to get them playing time i like this idea and it should be a option for us comments are welcome.

is it because everyone doesnt have supporter and then they would have to put a quit to supporter if they made that option here?

I think it would be no issue if money wasn't involved - but as this could be used to transfer money between teams it has to be like it is now.

Some type of autobid feature would fix that problem.

How?

I guess the main reason is for the people who dont put money on this game? But wouldnt they want money put into this game so they can keep it going and wont spend funds from themselves to keep up this game?

The two methods of cheating I see referenced in this thread are:

1. Transferring money between your teams
2. Selling the player for something other than "fair" market value.

How can this idea be improved to combat those two cheating methods?

I ask because everyone seems to use a blanket statement of "There could be cheating" as a way to shoot down ideas without even attempting to figure out a way that the idea could work.

So, just shooting from the hip:

1. If there was a way to transfer or trade players just between teams you were the manager of with a limit of maybe 1 per season and no money involved, it could work. The only downside is that managers with Utopia teams would have an easier way to train players and stay competitive. One of the main tradeoffs in this game is between winning games and training players. That tradeoff would be eroded with this method.

2. Since the GMs already monitor transfers that are outside of fair market value anyway, this would not be an issue. The additional number of transfers would cause more work for the GMs, but I am sure that whatever tools they use to monitor transfers could be modified to flag transfers between teams with the same owner for special scrutiny.

Anyone else have any thoughts?

If the main advantage the manager has is the time, he sets the auction...autobid allows managers to bid on players any time of day.
