You sit here and play the fence when you now better. Talent cost money if you trained them or not.Every manager is not going to be a guru trainer. This why there is market and this why there is money for team saving to use such maret to buy.
You don't need to be a guru trainer or some mystical swami to create useful players from training. If we were talking the difference between players who are trained exceptionally well (which doesn't describe me either, btw) or just players trained moderately well or better (which I think I'd fit) that'd be one thing. But that's not the case here - to be perfectly frank, you have never trained a player that sold for more than 20k and you've got nobody that you've trained ever that has a salary of even 10k. That tells me that when it comes to "training" whatever you're doing is so ineffective that you're not creating players other people want or even that you want.
Why should a manage be punished for saving for the future?
So, to be clear, you're saying that losing money on a weekly basis (which is the only scenario where you'd be taxed) is saving money for the future?
Hell a decent person would say if your team cost 500K a season to run you need 2.5 million in the bank to be safe. But that's not case here on BB. Train a draft pick who is never going good unless your a guru trainer.
Once again, just because you can't do it doesn't mean it can't be done. The number of people on here who are creating players via training is sufficiently large that the game manages to have a transfer market without your contributions.
As for your other comments . I built more profits and won games with a bad team that never played Li/Lp than you could do with a good team that you say you have... I have amassed over 16 million in 10 season. If I wanted to buy my way to the top its not hard to do. So before you open your mouth about my acumen judge your own. And maybe your sf wouldn't shoots so bad in push the ball. btw Im not in debt, I could buy a full team 80$k week players if wanted too.
I was pulling over 150k/week in profits the last third of last season, with a roster under 300k total salaries. And won 5 of 7 games. I also, until this offseason, never in my BB career had $1M in my bank account - something to do with continuing to push money into my arena when I had extra money. I suppose if I had sat on the nearly 2M I put just into new lower tier seats next season, I could see what it's like to have big numbers in the bank account.
Not as hard as it seems. I'm about tactics not just winning and havinga boat load of money, maybe if understand that,you wouldn't be so bitter.
This, just like your whole comments (that were intelligible, at least) speak exactly the opposite. You simply sit back against lesser competition, building up your war chest because you subconsciously have figured out that you can't compete on even footing. You keep telling yourself (and anyone who'll waste time listening) that you're about tactics and you'll have this money and succeed wildly and, well, I regret to inform you that I find that highly unlikely.
And I'd love to hear more about my SF. For example, who exactly are you referring to? I have nobody currently with a listed position of SF since the last season's salary changes to JR/SB. I play several different players in that position based on my opponent and depending on my training needs. I'll go ahead and pass on the PTB advice, though - there's good reason why I don't run that and your opinion of it just doesn't move the needle at all on that.
