I have said that I hope that TOP league clubs will be able to afford to have at least few stars and all the other team almost equal... but seems it`s impossible... I was really afraid of situation that is in HT there divine players are garbage... this seems the same as Ronaldo wont play for any team in football world and LeBrone wont play for any team in Basketball world...

afaik the BB said something similiar, thats why i wonder why they don't act in this case.

I would say a maximum salary around 200k salary won't crush the econonics, and maybe make real strong centers still sensefull ... or at least if a additional rebound skill on ikstens don't cost 30k extra(just a guess), which is nothing in comparision to the maybe additional 0.5 rebounds.

If widespread cheating by people holding multiple accounts is really going on, then there is no reason for its effects to be confined solely to the creation of a few farm teams. The entire foundation of the game would then be suspect, since people might be trading players between their own teams, or GMs might be cheating, et cetera. So if you believe no one is chasing down cheaters, or that the success rate is poor, why are you playing at all?

I dont believe these supposed multi-account farm teams are going to trade players with thier main accounts or do anything to jeopardize both accounts they obviously covet. I find it hard to believe that some new IV or V team cant win and dont really try to, but also know just how to train one of the best players in the country.

I prefer to think that the people charged with making this system work are conscientiously trying to do that. I hear a lot of people saying there are multiple accounts, but I don't see any evidence of that, and I do see teams with suspicious purchases get banned all the time.

Isnt it possible that both are true? I too believe in the efforts of these people are diligent. I also believe the people who have farm teams/multiple accounts are dilligent in not getting caught. Catching more criminals doesnt neccesarily reduce crime.

If you have some reason to believe otherwise that is more germane than your "2 cents," put that in instead.

Isnt this a discussion forum? I thought the above poster made a valid point in expressing his opinion, which was completely 'germane' to this discussion. If someones on-topic 2 cents isnt welcome, why have discussion forums at all?

The easiest way would be to put more money in game for higher leagues and make wider gap with way more bigger promotion prize... That teams would have to get rid of few of their players then they relegate and have to buy few then they promote if they wanna at least compete in higher league... we need real GAP if we wanna that this would be more realistic... but don`t think we`ll ever get it... cause majority of user wont like this to happen. All this means that Top div teams should be able to pay something around 200k salaries more then they are able for now, so this means div2 teams 100k more, div3 50k more...

as well as staff system could get part of this, there could be wider gap in their salaries. maybe something like div1 is paying 100% of salary, div2 90%, div3 70%, div4 55%

I think raising promotion money is probably a good idea, and that some extra funds ought to be given to teams that promote through the bot relegation process. For one thing, that increases the incentive to win games for everyone who has a shot at the title. For another, I believe player prices are increasing overall as more players and more money comes into the game, and fairly quickly, too.

I don't know how to address the issue of players who cost more than anyone can afford. It seems to me the only two ways are to reduce salary step-ups -- possibly even retroactively -- or to increase revenue, and in all fairness, increases should probably not be restricted to high-level teams. Reducing salary is probably the less inflationary option.

You're right, but complaints about the presence of cheaters don't really belong here. The GMs and BBs have told everyone a million times they go after cheaters, and they won't tell us how or to what effect. And I think it's legitimate to point out that no one is able to substantiate claims that cheaters aren't chucked out of the game. On the other hand, I had one in my Division IV league who got booted. So there's at least anecdotal evidence of that.

the point is that there should be huge wide gap from div4 to div3, from div3 to div2, from div2 to div1... that would be solved with huge bonus of promotion money, that most of the times wont give a chance to win two promotions in row as well it would depend a lot from user (how successful he`ll invest that bonus).

but as I have said this would make almost no chance for team from div3 and lower divs to win the CUP.


I don`t see and don`t think anybody will think better solution... cause all other ideas makes almost no difference in the end the idea of what we have now... the main thin is to think the exactly sum of promotion money that it wont ruin the game, that means someone have to do a lot of counting... and be ready for plenty of complains till user would understand this new suggested system fully... I`m sure that most of user would think that richer will become even more richer and poorer even more poor till they will get the point that everyone will get equal chance to compete in higher div if they`ll be able to promote and show good manager skills by using promotion money wisely.

any one else think that this main suggestion should be moved to the new thread??? it seems off-topic here

i think the problem is, that the IV Divion teams with those NT Cracks are probably teams from II or I Div Managers, just using a diffrent IP.

you're wrong
the team where fanesi plays is owned by a manager who got tired of the game, sold everybody and was sitting on a lot of money when i guess he was noticed by our NT staff
i know it because he's in my league

btw he won't be able to pay for his salary forever. he currently just has lots of money
