Well you have clearly a wonderkid then and were lucky to got him... but this an exception, no regular FA/market players.

The problem is that rich teams can just spend cash and get all the wonderkid they want easily, which means they will make their team stronger and that means more money in the future.

Low teams have to stick to average players and cannot reduce the gap. I think that the system should be changed a little bit but i don't know how. I'm not really familiar with the draft system but isn't this a way to prevent rich teams in some sports to get all the best players and get even better ? Maybe something like that should be added were high level team / rich teams can't buy players who are too young. Or maybe some kind of limit of players / salary cap / highest salary / etc.

The poaching seems completely stupid (only level 3, don't know exactly how it works) and the whole system seems to make the rich team always more rich and better. There should be some downside no ?

What is bad when you get a high level team with high $$$ sponsors ? you can do everything i think ? Is there some kind of limit ? Isn't this a bad thing for the "economy" or how a manager game should work ?

I don't really know to be honest, just pointing out some things that look weird/bad for the game. Especially for the long term. Like i said, what are the salaries gonna be in a few weeks/months ? What are new players gonna do with their 2-4 stats players ?

Not complaining my players that i trained/found are doing good actually but there is still a problem how the system works IMO.

Your worst skill of your worst player is 6.1 ? You clearly represent the average player yeah. Good for you if you found interesting players

It's way worse now. Like I said yesterday there are certain times a day when its impossible for a normal low level team that doesnt want to go bankrupt (or take that risk) to buy players but there are certain time windows where you can get almost all the FAs that you bid for.


Right now Im going to be screwed pretty soon. Because I was getting none of the FA I wanted, I bid on a ton of them to see if I got lucky that 1 maybe 2 would come to my team...now with the current system Im not going to be outbid in any of them so Im going to end up with a huge team with no prospects of winning enough in the next 2 days to support everyone....

And blindly getting FAs? Bah way worse....

Oh and probably the one complaining about the FA's was me...so its wasnt crying out...I posted once here saying I was mad i told another guy that he needed to find an hour where people werent all on line....so unless you're talking about something else, that doesnt remotely seem like crying.

Also not everyone can play 24/7...and not everyone went the "its just one tournament below my level, if its not me, its someone else that does it" way to have extra cash and a boost to the players.

They should have just restricted bidding on FA to the same or lower team lvls, so if a lvl 2 guy got the first bid of a player only lvl 2,1 and 0 could bid on it.

Wow, crying has won out. To help noobs get "decent" players we now must blindly buy free agents.

This is a horrible idea; now this really will enable the rich to get richer while poor get poorer. Bid times last 24 hours and the only way to estimate player skill with ? ratings is to bid on high placed free agents. Obviously the rich teams are going to easily see the good players because they are at the top of the list as compared to high salaries in the free agent pool. Compounded by 24 hour auction times mean that now instead of only bidding within your time zone you now bid against all rich teams who have the ability to see the auction before it ends.

Before the issue was people expected something for nothing and wouldn't enter into a risk, now you're taking a massive risk to get a decently placed player because everyone is bidding on the decently placed player and you can't even see if they are a dud or not. Would not be surprised to see some mid to low tier teams go bankrupt as they try to buy seemingly good players and instead receive a 8 vT dud who just got lucky by being matched with Terrans into the SF.

Im getting all of them T.T I have 16 players right now and 2 more will soon come.... and not even the best of the bunch can win tournaments right away so....

How do you sell them? Market? I dont have access to that yet. I believe I can dismiss them...Im going to check that out to see if it pays off or not! Edit: nope...it doesnt...

I think the opposite is true. Rich teams did not look for new free agents, they just bid for them in the last 5 minutes of the auction. Adding uncertainty, hiding the current bids, etc. will decrease prices and allow poorer teams to compete acquisition-wise. Placement is not everything; there will be a lot of hidden gems with low endurance for example. And you were always competing against the rich teams...

There will probably be a way to "scout" players to get a rough estimate of their stats in the future, but it will have tradeoffs...
