it looks to me that the maximum bid is more or less 10 times the current bid...

but whats the point? i dont see what reason this has been added for.Everyone pretty much knows values of players and the valuations give a good guide just seems a pointless addition unless im missing something.

So you could not bid on a player with 1k starting price for 300k? Dunno gotta look at the mechanics maybe it's something against cheating. Can you still raise the bid when you have already bid on the player?

Maybe it is to keep people from making a mistake and typing and extra zero at the end?

I think i get it now it stops you bidding more than 10x the value of the player in one go.like youve said maybe to stop cheating .plus also it caps players to maximum stopping cheaters bidding overvalued amounts for inferior players.

This, my friend, is correct.

Also could be to encourage people to put a proper price on their players rather then starting them at minimum?

if you like to bid more, you can bid from 1000 to 100000 wwith threee bids ;)

I won't say that this stops yyou to make approciate bids at the beginning.

as promised I tried to find out what and why it was:

There is now a temporary maximum allowed bid equal to 10 times the current bid (minus one)


that was my initial tought, but then I saw a player with a bid of 1000, who had 100k as max current bid, so I got confused.
but this
Also, the max bid never goes below 100,000


explained it.

both quoted statements here are correct and come directly from a BB.

the reason they implemented it is to avoid accidental overbidding by typing a number to much.

They also removed the text (yet the error message when you bid to high in 1 time stays) to avoid the confusion we now experience.

They are not your friends; they dispise you. I am the only one you can count on. Trust me.
