You're right, rising prices are inflation. But remember rising prices and high prices are two different things. You can certainly have both (which is what we have now), but having one does not always mean you will have the other. That's what I meant when I said inflation and high prices are separate things.

Once they are knowledgeable enough about the game to beat the league they're in, then they can progress to the next division. That's how the game should be looked at to be profitable, not live in the comfort of bot leagues making millions each season, until you can afford a run at the top.


This makes good sense. I support you on this. By new managers catching up, I don't mean they hoard up money in a low division and then buy their way to the top. I just think it shouldn't take them too long to progress divisions with good management.

The problem is high prices encourage hoarding especially for teams that don't have much money to begin with.

I get what you're saying now. They are separate issues, but they are related in we wouldn't have high prices without inflation. We're probably splitting hairs now, but tackling inflation is the only way to fix high prices.

The problem is high prices encourage hoarding especially for teams that don't have much money to begin with.

I agree with you 100% on this. I've been tanking (maximizing profit) from starting my team 5 seasons ago. I have invested most of my money on arena and training, so a hoarding limit doesn't affect me. I can hoard for seasons and be well under 25 million (with 10 million or so in my roster). If it was worthwhile, I would have spent my money on being competitive and trying to promote. As long as I can get away with making more money than I need, it's pointless to waste money trying.

That is where the problem arises. It makes more sense for me to hoard a few million each season, simply because I can.

Whats going on here?
What can we do and what BB team is doing for that?


Well lowering the weekly revenue of many teams would be a good start. How much are you making each week for example ?


Lowering the weekly revenue by speeding up training could be another route to go. I bought this guy a year ago (35033720), have been training him ever since (even 1-pos. training) and look where his salary is now. So even if I wanted to beef up my payroll by "natural" growth, it takes ages.

If I had punted RB (which was my initial plan anyways), he'd earn like half his salary by now - while sitting at 100 TSP, which is not awesome, but not bad either...

I think after 15+ seasons, I am going to leave this game. I am tired of looking through the transfer list every day. I am tired of seeing some crazily priced players bought by crazy managers. I am tired of the salary mechanism punishing players with high JR and PA and favouring players who can do many things OK but nothing great. I am tired of even the price of trainers having gone up for a double compared to 2 seasons ago.
