unstable prices are how I build my arena. Its unfair really for people who can't deal with it. This creates people feeling prices are too high (Or low) and burned if they can't adjust. Its an external change they have no control over.
This is IMO the core of your arguments and rants and anger about FA changes. NOt if they are right or wrong for the game, but their impact on your team and plans in general. It would be like if you were playing basketball and someone kept raising and lowering the hoop over and over again. It would aggravate anyone who noticed most likely.
No you're wrong here.
It's like Adam Silver saying we changed the hoop's height in order to make dunks easier and more spectacular and improve the show. Then he goes and changes the hoop to 3.30, fewer people dunks, but obviously those players who are still able to dunk are putting one hell of a show for accomplishing a superhuman feat. Meanwhile most people were happy with what the show they were getting before. The example isn't exactly fitting but gives the idea of a complete disconnection between actions and words, which was the case with this change.
I was not pissed off by the change itself. If anything I agree with Alexsandar...I am however very concerned about the general user. If Marin had said, we want to limit or remove Free Agency because there is no need for that, I might have disagreed it was a good change, but it would have ended there and then. Instead, he tried to give us an explanation which did not add up, while also trying to prevent any discussion about it. NT staff concerned that NT caliber players were retiring were unaware of what was going on and players who could have been saved by the NT managers retired, meanwhile he just dismissed everything and everyone for weeks, just repeating that it was all as planned and he was trying to change the economy for the greater good (more training).
I now disagree with both his actions and his reasoning. If he wanted to make training more appealing why change the number of players in the game, instead of changing the training system itself. If he wanted to help training there was no need to argue that prices should be higher, he could have changed the training system itself. If the true reason for the change was to tinker with the economy because he thought it was still deflated, despite the taxes and other changes already introduced, he should have said so immediately, it would have been extremely an unpopular statement to make and, again, there would have been different way to address the problem rather than reducing the number of players (reverse salary decline that is still ongoing as you hinted to as well).
Note that this thread is not about Free Agency there is another thread about that. This thread was just to double check how the userbase perceives efforts to make prices higher...
