I'm not sure how much you normally pay or what your strategy is but you can get L7s for 1k signing bonus that are cheaper than the low salary L6s if you look at how the bonus factors in to overall cost over time.

I am in the market for lvl4 or lvl5 trainers. Not much sense in burning money for those top dogs.

About prices. They fluctuate and you know it. time of day, time of week, time of season, time in history of BB...been at this game since before you signed up, unless this is your 2nd team.

When someone talks about TRENDS in prices you come out and talk about the statistical noise around the mean, as if that's relevant to the discussion in any form or shape ...gosh, hope you're just pretending.

you've bought 2 players worth over 1 million and never sold a single player for over 1million. That is what I saw glancing at your transfer history.

You should try harder! Did I sell those players? Yeah I thought so. You should stop thinking like an oaf, I told you many times already. You in your limited world, look at the transfer history and think...uhm -1.5 million over a year must be better than +1.5 million over the same period, lol. If I pick the homeless guy outside my office, who can barely read and speak English, he will be able to understand that with money you buy things (ie the players, to spell it out for you) and those things (ie. the players) have a value. So even in the simplest terms you need to account for the current value of the players on a roster. How you compare to the guy in the street is another question...

So if you can point to other people, or link other users whom you think are much more successful than me, as if somehow you talking about someone elses team give YOU props.... that is good.

Just debunking baseless claims. You can keep crying like a baby, but the fact remains that the 2 most successful managers in recent history in BB are Darkonza and LA-Saur0n and they have a -15m and -16m transfer history. The current WR #1 has -19m, Darkonza is #2, WR #3 has -23m, WR #4 -28m, WR #5 -8m, Saur0n is #6, WR #7 is +1m, WR #8 is -4m, WR #9 is -39m and WR #10 is -19m. All in all you're looking at a total of - $170 million among the top 10 ranked teams in the game and you love world Ranking don't you lol?

These are the facts about the top teams in BB and unfortunately you look more and more silly.

You are not one of them and never will be.

You break my heart (U). I will now go cry in the corner.

Why don't I give you some squirrel work- what are the ages of the teams in your DI in England. How many teams in your DI are older vs. younger than you. Let's see you reason your way into awesomeness on that one.

See this is why you're a silly moo and not a smart one at that. You could have checked this yourself, but you're sloppy and do little to no research on anything you rant about (y). Top ranked teams in England (since you're such a fanboy of WR):
#1 Tide of Fire: 20k+ arena, -8m transfers, started in season 9, WR 42
#2 Tata: 20k+ arena, -28m transfers, started in season 3, WR 60 and made multiple B3 ko stages in the last hadful of seasons
#3 Galaxy Walkers: 20k+ arena, -1m transfers, started in season 14, WR 187
#4 that's me...I'm shit and I don't count lol (started in season 24 though...WR 250)
#5 Sabre of Valiente: 19.7k arena, -6m transfers, started in season 17, WR 422
#6 A Dogs: 18.5k, -7m, season 12, WR 525
#7 London Lemurs: 20k+, -5m, season 19, WR 655
#8 Wrose Warriors: 20k+, -5m, season 12, WR 697
#9 The Myrmidons: 20k+, -14m, season 10, WR 745
#10 Gauson: 20k+, -9m, season 3, WR 785
Should I continue? The second youngest team is 4 seasons older than me. For the record, I have the second best record in my conference at the moment and I have trained PG out of position almost every week.

Also let's take the nation where you're begging to play, the top ranked teams in the US: #1 (S17, +1m), #2 (S11, -8m), #3 (S7, -20m), #4 (S2, -16m), #5 (S10, -6m), #6 (S11, -9m), #7 (S12, -5m), #8 (S12, +3m), #9 (S14, +6m), #10 (S9, -3m). The US top guys started .5 seasons earlier than the English (whatever the idiotic reason to use this kind of numbers). Also note that -6m average balance!

I think you can excuse yourself now and go back to tankalot.

How long do you think the economy will remain inflated?

'Till death do we part. Marin has deliberately made it this way in order to "reward training." I don't see him ever realizing it screwed up the game and changing it.

Why the hate on Marin. He is a developer. I doubt he calls all the shots of how the game should be in perspective

what is the point of your hot air?

Don't worry I don't think anyone would expect you to understand at this point. But it's ok, I get it, you've probably seen too much data and logical points (some even prompted by you) for you to process. %}

Delusional and dimwitted, what a scary combination. You made it personal, because you have no arguments...or better the ones you tossed around are either irrelevant or dumb, as I explained to you point by point.

You can't comprehend that the people made the same money from tanking 6 seasons ago, nothing's changed there, yet it's the reason for inflation. You are shocked that even in the most inflated markets you can find some value, as if that was some kind of supernatural event. You are surprised that people do not behave rationally. I think you just don't have the mental ability to understand, you're kind of a serial offender nothing's get through to you. Now you even argued against someone who has given you a reasonable solution lol, as if the guy said to "if they aggressively remove the efficient builds, rather than aggressively save them"...you know, most people like you with limited understanding would not showcase their shortcomings.

Hopeless. I'm starting to wonder what exactly you teach those girls.

Cause 1: Revise the fan survey. An established team (3+ seasons) who loses many games in a row should be hit much harder in its earnings. At the end of the season you should be losing money weekly even while being below the salary floor if you lost games all season. This is consistent with what happens in real life.

I'd just point out, as I did to the oaf from Japan, that tanking and high income in higher leagues isn't something new, it widely happened even 6-8 seasons ago when prices were rock bottom. People didn't get any new feature to increase their income beyond what they could achieve in the past. Therefore this could be an explanation for high prices, not for increasing prices, unless the argument is that many more managers have been tanking in the last 3-4 seasons compared to before.

Cause 2: I agree. Salary repricing would obviously work and SF in particular should be paid for what they are worth. Hakkinen had a 130k-140k salary with 158+ TSP. As long as high end players increase at least proportionally compared to the low end ones, it should not penalise training which was the main reason Marin wanted higher market prices by design. They just need to make sure this is properly advertised and it's clear that high TSP guys will be hit the most.

There are other factors that play a role. Taxes have had a pretty substantial effect in draining the already scant liquidity that the Transfer Market had. With fewer transactions, prices become more erratic and even the TPE becomes meaningless as you see extremely wide ranges.
Training was not really rewarded enough directly, so there will be no improvement in the supply of trained players on the market in the coming seasons. Incidentally raising salaries would reward training through the overextension tax (as it was meant to be).
