I see many users talking about the prices going up, but when I randomly look at players they are selling, I often see they are asking more than what they paid. For 28 y old players, few weeks after purchasing the players. I think everyone is participating in that price bubble.


Even if the starting bids are reasonable, over time bids drive prices up way too far.

In an inflationary environment that's the logical thing to do. The problem is that the supply of players on the market is really hitting rock bottom and you have people not able to afford replacement players without selling their own players at a profit (also because of the taxes on sales).

What bothers me is that inflation is not driven by an increase in talent (the average skills of the players in the game) as it would if training or skills were boosted, but by a lack of supply. Every season you pay more for the exact same player. Older players with the same skills also sell for the same amount or for more than they did in previous seasons...

And you know who benefited from the Marin's crusade for higher prices? Daytraders! Yes the guys he so wanted to punish are now making fewer transactions, but at higher margins...and they are out there again, check it out.

The supply of good quality free agents is low. I was wondering if the admin is holding back some of the free agents. Day traders are part of the game. The tax penalty (holding period) is suppose to curb that issue. A rebuilding team can really day trade and benefit the most. As long as you are within the the league minimum salary, profit can be maximized. Not sure if Managers are getting smarter (or greedier). Maybe both.

As long as people are buying we can't do that much but wait and see. In my case, I cant sell my vets because i don't have suitable replacements. Some Managers think prices will go down, I just don't see it happening. It has been trending up for the last 3 seasons. Even if you overpaid for guys a few seasons back you can still make a profit. I see more managers training in the future.

I completely agree. My problem here is that training takes so long and it's being encouraged indirectly instead of directly as you'd expect. The people who think prices might go down at some point are not training and when they will have had enough of waiting...

The supply of good quality free agents is low.
I've been looking for a young-ish trainee for several weeks, and guess what? I still have to find a young free agent trainee. Others reported they do exist, but, for crying out loud, why in the world would you not want to make the price of young untrained players go down if the plan is to get people to train? Increasing the supply of this kind players also makes daytrading less profitable. Beats me.

BB also has a shortage of good trainers. People are paying 500k for a superior trainer! So now we don´t have trainees, trainers and ready players. BB´s economy will turn into Greece´s economy soon.

yes gradually increasing the number of superior/exceptional/world renowned trainers could be another solution to directly incentivise training without messing with any other feature in the game.

I think we are making things worse ourselves too, I usually wait with selling my players until I have a new one, but because I cannot buy a new one for a reasonable price, I don't sell my player yet. If everyone holds their players, supply will decrease and prices rise, thus making the problem bigger. I think we need to sell our players first in order to solve the problem.

Just realize that if you are the first to start selling your player, you get a great price for them because demand is still low. As soon as everyone starts selling, prices will drop so better sell sooner than later ;)

Very true.

I am really considering to sell most of my players (except the trainees) around the ASB as I hopefully will have secured another season in my division. Risky game, but the current prices are really favorable if you are on the sell side.

Thats just how economic bubbles work.

Looking forward to see prices drop like womens panties when they see me.
