"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.

i just gave you 5.. off topic but nevermind ;)

I think it's absolutely justified what BB are doing right now. Managers trading during Bubble-Times have higher risks, since you never know when it's going to pop, which is very realistic. But afterall we're not playing a Market Simulation game, so i totally agree with BB and their raise in FA's.

Well done.

they are going up, but at the very, very, top level they are going up by less than you might expect.

Well i think all of this is just plain rubbish. The fact that we have SO many players on the market, most of which wont even get sold, is embarrassing. The game should have a computerized sector that buys a player that otherwise wouldn't have a chance of getting sold just as a condolence to the team selling him. I think that would greatly improve teams and game play because it would reduce the number of weak players, allow better ones to get more attention, and it would raise activity overall.

And on one last note. I would LOVE contracts. I think if we as managers are able trade players, not for money however, it would improve the game in its own way. It actually goes hand in hand and is a side effect of a stronger market.

I disagree 100%, So we should keep flooding money into teams, and having players bought that obviously shouldn't be sold. The market works well how it is, players aren't sold because they aren't priced right and thus no one is willing to pay that jsut like a real market.

Id recommend implementation of transfer list fee as it works succsesfully in other managers (bigger).. If i want to place a player on TL i am well aware that if he doesnt get sold i will have to pay 5% of the price i ve placed him.. It s very usefull. This would help with daytrading problem and with 'accidentialy' overpaided players. It s simple like that. Aint it?

it is a good idea but it would drive the prices even higher.

I'm worry about new managers coming into game. I think it can be really hard to build new team now. Maybe some measures for favour of new team should be considered carefully to attract new managers.
I think of two measures:
1) new teams receive $50,000 per week for their first four weeks - maybe this amount of money could be increased. But it would bring even more money to the global economy
2) the skills of players generated for new teams are up to 7 (respectable) - maybe this could be increased and players for new teams could have skills up to 8 (strong) or 9 (proficient). It could also have positive effect on prices on TL. But this could work only for players 20 years old and older so that they will not be better than players (18 and 19 yo) generated from draft.

not the place, but just an idea to alter the geometrically increasing gap between old and new teams. (118554.1)

Depending on what is going to happen with the proyected inflation and a more precise idea about the "equilibrium" that BBs have in mind, increasing those $50K is something to have in mind. Same logic applies with promotion price.

2) the skills of players generated for new teams are up to 7 (respectable) - maybe this could be increased and players for new teams could have skills up to 8 (strong) or 9 (proficient). It could also have positive effect on prices on TL. But this could work only for players 20 years old and older so that they will not be better than players (18 and 19 yo) generated from draft.


While I think that this measure will be nice for new teams, it's pretty unfair for recently not-new teams, an entire season of training to find out the new signed lucky guy has a better team than you? Training is something *slow* and should remain that way (shortening the amount of levels to be trained is a way to make it *faster*) because, the idea is that a new teams should make his way through every division in order to get to the higher one. Probably, advancing in the quality of their players over the time by training and trading (the 2Ts of development in BB).
