It's not change for the sake of change and the system isn't great when it punishes you for not knowing things that should be made clear to begin with. It's also not about being pressured into a bid, it's about letting us know the rules.

The economy, market, or whatever wouldn't be ruined by allowing new owners to back out of one deal during their whole time here, and it certainly would not ruin anything to at least put a warning somewhere.

I'm getting a kick out of the analogies though. One person compares it to a real life auction, another says it's not Monopoly. It's not like a real life auction because it's a game but it IS in fact like Monopoly because they're both games. What next? Comparing it to a fruitcake?

I made a poor choice in a bid my first day, and regretted it. I ended up training him a while and still losing money. It sucks but it isn't the end of the world. This is a great game so perhaps moving on, reading up, and lesson learned is the best solution. It has worked well for me so far :P

You want comparisons I'll give you one.
Let's say you drive through a red light. You get fined by a policeman. You say: "hey comon I did not know you can not drive through red lights". "Well it's written in the law (rules)": policeman says. You answer: "Atleast put a warning sign up that says you can't drive through red light". What kind of answer will you get?
Just a sidenote: confirmation box would be good thing. But it would again harass me while i'm in a bid war. Bidding about 100 times in those last 3-10-15-60 minutes:D That just doubles my clicks.

Fact is, it's written in the rules. Ignorance to the rules is not a reason to complain.

I read the rules before I really got into everything, kept me occupied whilst I was on the train =D

I'm going to be forced into buying somebody today, that's the point Yellow Cake. I can't take it back so it's going to happen no matter what.

The claims that it would screw up the economy of the game don't really fly. I have played other sports sims that use an auction system which allows owners to cancel bids on players and they work just fine. If this game can't do so maybe it's not as great as some people think.

P.S. This still isn't real life Kukoc, it's just a game.

That's it hwy should we add anything more to this thread.

Confirmaiton button is not needed - those who complains now would still complain (at least a vast majority of them) and it would make reaction in those three minutes more difficult which I think would be by far the major impact of any cbidding confirmation button.

I agree that there could be some problems with a confirmation button and I don't really have the need of one, even though I accidently bid on a player. It was still my fault and therefore I did never complain. I had this idea at the moment I have beeon writing my post an didnt think a lot about it. However I think that there could be solutions without the problem of the delay (e.g. everybody has a button to enable/disable the possibility to bid). In this case you would only have to use this button once if you want to make bids or simply ignore it. But it is again just sth. that came in mind a few seconds ago. ;) I have to "live" with the player I bought anyway and I know at least one manager who is happy about my bid ;)

I don't know if a confirmation button would help that much. My issue has been giving owners some warning and if they don't realize it's a rule or don't remember then adding such a step wouldn't stop people from making bids because they still wouldn't know any better.

"I'm going to be forced into buying somebody today"

No one forced you to do anything, you clicked the bid button, you pay the price. Learn your lesson and read carefully before making a decision next time. There's a rules page and a help forum for a reason. It's hardly the end of the team if you buy a bad player, almost everyone has done it and recovered fine. He can serve as a reminder to read the market before making rash decisions.
