Well, that is true, a lot of people, especially the ones who come here, love training. In fact, training becomes the most enjoying part of this game for us.

But that has nothing to do with the current inflation, I focused on training, even when it was completely devalued. I just like doling it. Sue me.

No, I won't sue you. I have no objection to your post. I think it is good when someone honestly says they're in it for the training, since that's what the game is about.

Yeah, like I said, there are some people who like training and like that this has morphed into a training exercise more than a basketball sim. More power to you if that's what you want. I suspect, though, that the dwindling numbers of people on this site suggest you are in a minority. Good luck to you. No hard feelings.

I've seen somewhere here that someone talked about "training = money", I don't know your opinion but in this moment the heaviest increasing have been on the grandpa players that never got any train since ages.

Wouldnt that be because they are there in greater numbers? They still are left from when there were more managers here. And since we got fewer managers now, fewer players have been trained up for people to catch on the market.
I think you can make good money from training the right type of players now.

I've always trained since the beginning, trained also on the two finals cup (mistake) but the market was, is and will be completely indipendent from my personal choice. I've bought a great player at 12 millions ages ago and a similar player at 2 millions few seasons ago; for sure if you know "how to train" is quite easy to make money but what I tried to say is that you can also make money reselling a player bought 2 seasons ago at 30 yo on these days, which is completely against the message "train = money"

What I was trying to say, some people(including myself), simply enjoy training. It has noting to do with current economy.

Dead center! And new managers should understand that this is what Buzzerbeater is all about, a training game in basketball clothing. Trying to view it as a basketball sim or even a basketball management sim will only frustrate them. It is purely about training for profit.

Your stance on this is somewhat well-stated, but I don't think many users agree with you.
This is a basketball sim where training is crucial to make better players for the future of the league.
Literally, there would be no players with skills over Strong if it wasn't for training.
Sure, there are some rules that some users don't like regarding training, but there are a lot of users who like it just the way it is. Myself included.

Yes, I already said that ... both those things.

I guess what I'm saying is that the current inflation situation has made me not want to overpay for players. And because I refuse to overpay for players I'm forced to focus on training.

And you think this is a good way to entice managers to stick around? You are already relegated with 2 weeks to go in the regular season, do you think we should all just tank and train? I'll tell you something that should be obvious to anyone. Those who had hefty bank accounts to begin with are the ones who are safe in this environment, because they can still afford the higher price and resell at similar prices. Catching up today to higher leagues has become increasingly hard in the current economic environment.

At this point just FA alone is not going to solve the problem, but the change implemented (almost erase FA) was the complete opposite of what was needed as people complained about before (and after) the change was implemented.

At this point a general review of the economy should be in the cards and should include reviewing (increasing) the salary of players (as suggested by Josef Ka) and reviewing the TV contract/salary floor values. And if Marin does not understand how potential changes will affect the game, I suggest he seeks advice from people who do (not me just to be clear).
