My concern is that many people, like you, have to make blind calls when it comes to this sort of situations.

I did buy high, but I also sold high to supplement the purchases. It mostly evens out over time. I think those that choose to play this as a financial game instead of a basketball game are the ones most at risk by drastic changes in the market.

I would like to know if this pack of FAs from season 4 (or somethink like this) was automatic process of generating FAs because there were fulfill some conditions for it. Or if it was only immediate decision of BBs " now it's time to generate some more FAs" and they generate them manually.
If it was automatic process, it's ok and only question what are the conditions for it? (So that we can predict when they come again.)
If it was immediate decison, so it would be quite anxious.

It was an automatic process. The condition was X Salary Y age afaik (not 100% sure though). F.e 6k for 18yo 15k for 19yo 30k for 20+.

I'm not sure if you understand my questions. I meant FAs which retired at season 4, but appeared on TL as FA this week.

Again, my point is, I believe BBs should inform us better when it comes to strategic thinks like these. If two weeks ago BBs told us that they might be increasing the amount of FA and one week ago told us that there is going to be an increment, you could decide with the right information whether to sell your player or not. With the information they provide us now, you have to make a blind call. With better information you can try to figure how the market will respond and based on your judgement, make a decision.

They did say that exact thing in the news release.

You could update the salaries for inmediately stop inflaction as happened in season 2-3 all-star weekend, only anounce it and do.

Yes, they could do that but now is too late. 2 things are bad now, the age of the players, it seems that there was a divine intervention and this is absolutely far from the reality and the lack of info about the new wave of FAs, I think BBs could inform us about the raise of the FAs on the transfer list. I hope a news will be release soon regarding what we should expect in the new season.

It's more of 2 years that I'm playing here, imho is still the best online game but something could be changed: think a little bit more before to change the economy, they've written that the inflaction was due to deconstruction of arena + new drafted on the TL and I'd like to have more options when I've to chose how to play, now it seems to me that run&gun and 3-2 is the best tactic available. Of course is possible that LI can be still a good choice but only few teams seem to have the roster to play in this way and if the 99% of the teams cannot play LI and 2-3 probably is necessary to balance better the GE. I know there will be someone that will say "oh no, I can win easily with all the tactics" but I'm sure BBs can check what I mean.

the second problem is that is more easy to trade the players

Full quote for... me

A player that I've decided to "leave" yesterday at 2,25 m is now in the market at 6,5 m.

Then and really important: who's given me 2 balls in my last post? :p

"The current high prices are unsustainable, and risk a sharp decrease when salaries are updated at the start of Season 11. We will continue to use both free agency and the possibility of luring players out of retirement as necessary to deflate back down towards sustainable prices at a moderate rate."

Don't you think being this sharp on economics of the game, makes it more of an economic game than you would wish for? just asking because your intentions are clear on this subject. still, the prices are high or low, making drastic changes will bring huge benefits to some, huge losses to others and this will put you away from the actual target of focusing on basketball side of the game.
