So, 466 posts later, the thing that irks and irritates and causes dissatisfaction among most people, this cheating phenomenon... nothing is being done yet?

Well do they care? As long as we pay for supporter and (accidentally) click on their ads, they're all good.

I cross my fingers that this isn't the case!

Well they have stated in the news that they see it as a problem that many dislike and that they will look in to it. So i believe they are doing just that. We'll just have to see when a change comes.

Fingers crossed!! I think it's part reason why the price of high calibre players is so cheap and the economy is making it so that training isn't as worthwhile any more.

That high quality players as you say are so cheap probably has something to do with that there are to many of them in comparison to how many teams there are that actually can hold such players. I think a change in the draft could fix that. make star and allstar players more common and the end of the potential ladder a lot more rare.

Yeah true. Either that or ease up on reintroducing players through free agency.

Another thing that would help: don't set back the fan survey after a season. Let fans, that had to see their team lose 22 games in a row with -50, still be very angry in the new season.

Second Team:
BC.Play-Off
In Bosnia 1A

TV rights : $ 228 179
Minimal paying salaries : $ 273 814

Average salaries in league $ 579 327 ( with tanking teams , curently 2 teams with salary 10-100k )
So the only thing that can be done is to multiple by 2 minimal paying salaries
Then we should have fair competitions , and still enable tanking as a fair tactics witihout changing fan survey . They will still be able to make great profit , but no so big like current one so teams would still be encouranged to be competitive.

Seriously guys.

If you think training is not profitable, do not train (let everyone else do the training for you). Train GS/FT/ST the whole season.

If you think drafting is not profitable, do not invest into draft (buy draftees off TL). Save that money for salaries, new additions.

If you think tanking is the strongest strategy right now, tank. I should warn you, that no team has come back stronger after tanking than he has been before. We are talking about great managers who have tried. Relegation is a killer, out of the 4 relegated teams in Estonia divI (2 tankers, 1 quit, 1 normal), 1 is dropping down to divIII, 1 went bot, 2 tried to promote - both failed (the biggest tanker announced his retirement because of his failure in the forums). So grow some balls and actually try it, instead of talking about it.

This is a tactical game, use your brains and stop whining. Wheather they change the salary floor or not, you should be able to make the best decisions for your own team.
