Yeah, but at the same time alot of Utopia teams also did not renew so ...

... that means a lot of possibly worthwhile players are out of the economy, thus the money in the economy is chasing fewer players, contributing to them being overpriced. Also, the problem doesn't manifest itself at the highest levels yet until many Utopia teams are at the highest levels. That's part of the reason the movers and shakers at BB, playing mostly at the higher levels, fail to understand the full dimension of the problem -- they don't experience it and trivialize everyone else's comments.

the prices will go up till the economy in utupia will be stable and it will still take a couple of season.
I see a big problem here, every changes in the economy is an huge change in a team strategy; train players wasn't the best idea till few weeks ago (I'm talking about "common" players, not complete SF/PF players), today probably it could be once again a good strategy to make money. I saw players sold for more than 10m and great players under 1m, I'm fine with both cases but every time an external event changes the economy this is a damage for the whole game

Hopefully not. Hopefully they get a grip on it and bring some balance to the economy in the game. Player prices as well as the cost of training can come back to earth, but they have to admit there is a problem first.

All in all I like it - I always thought that top players should be worth more than an average weekly/monthly income.
So true. It'd be nice if there was some way to make it stay that way...

Remember, here everything is handled as a single market place, if you go and there is little supply of tomatoes, but plenty of consumer demand, obviously the prices go through the roof.
Now, if you are going, and the market is full of tomatoes, obviously everything will be more economical, what happened? Why so high? To my guilt is the way of equipment, plus utopia, and above all, there were many teams who only buy players, and Sunday's retired, and thereby contributed to the decline in players, besides that few people know train
Be prepared that what comes is worse, because if people still living in tanqueos and not training, it will get worse, not good players are found
and that trains will be awarded. Venezuela looks so much like this piece of market .......

How would they be chasing fewer players? When players go bot players that meet salary requirements are put on the TL. If the economy is so inflated then lower managers should be focused on training players to meet the demand of the market, sell at the inflated prices and benefit tremendously when the market corrects itself.

I dont really understand what you are want the bbs to do about this. Cut government spending? Raise taxes? Get the federal reserve to increase interest rates?

All BB has to do to solve this particular problem is to somehow ensure that there is an instant and perpetual supply of players who are apparently too undesirable to have trained for the past few years, but are now in demand because of a massive influx of new teams at a single point in time. Clearly, the job of creating players for lower level teams is too big a job to leave to lower level teams themselves, and those with the audacity to do that should not be rewarded when they should have taken the community's approved route of accumulating cash.

Negative interest rates for hoarders would be a good start. There are plenty of teams around that have millions stored in the bank, there is no punishment for that and thus tanking works like a charm.

Once the money hits the market the real harm is done.

An economic success tax? Let's penalize the people who figure out that BB is an economic game and profit off that fact? Wouldn't it be better to change the fact that people can make money while tanking and get the incentive of getting that HOF 5/5 A+ prospect in the draft? Marin mentioned the possibility of fan riots to help penalize tanking but I hope an economic success tax is not in the works.

...and the players that don't meet "salary requirements" but might have some value to lower level teams, which is probably most or all of the players on a team going bot, are gone from the game for good, replaced by worthless players. So yes, fewer players.

And a new team with $300,000 free money will replace a bankrupt team when a new manager signs up or a current manager takes a second team, so more money chasing fewer players, with no companion process for less money and more players.

One obvious thing that could be done is lowering the requirements for a player to go on TL instead of retirement. Easy, effective, a step in the right direction. The steps against day-trading were a small step in the right direction as well. Too bad that higher level managers, including one GM posting on this thread, don't understand and just mock the problem with childish sarcasm. They aren't part of the solution, so you know what that makes them part of.

Another thing that is too bad is that I renewed my supporter in February.
