BBs, plz, do something, either more FAs or delay skill drop age.
Or faster/more flexible training or a combination of all of these. Now get your +1 ball.
thx mate. I feel that BBs, GMs and LAs all are trying to convince others (or maybe even themselves) that the way the game is now is rational, but it's not, and I can't see it turning around unless they do some interference.
It's like politics. What matters is not what is correct and what is wrong, it's how people feel. and I can see no one feeling good right now. Some players may be happy now because they can sell players they bought about 1 year ago for 3 to 4 times of money, but then? Where do their teams go? Using that money to buy lower quality players as replacement and then sell the same players a few months later for double of the money? Someone plz tell me it's not the way to play this game now.
I would hope you don't count me in that group. I think I am pretty open in that I think there are some things that could definitely be improved, and I am extremely open in discussing proposed changes. There are things that I personally don't think I'd ever consider, namely any sort of "pay to win", any changes that remove meaningful choice from the game, or anything that removes the ability of managers to end up moving up (or down) the leagues based on their managerial ability rather than simply how long they've been in the game or how much time they spend on the site.
If it makes you feel better, some ten to fifteen seasons ago, everyone was miserable because they would spend hundreds of thousands of dollars over several seasons on staff wages training players, only to see their value drop tremendously, while people were able to pick up starters off the transfer list or free agency for almost nothing. I think we all would prefer a happy medium where prices are stable. How we get there, of course, is a matter of great debate and of course if it were as easy as BB-Marin decreeing it were so, I'm certain it would have happened.
In the end, it's a game, and part of the challenge is trying to adapt your strategies to what is happening and projecting what *will* happen. Those who do a better job of that will thrive, and those who don't likely won't.
