While it is nice that newer teams (like mine) have the chance to pick up good players on the cheap the deflation is way too extreme. You used to get triple strong big men for $6-800,000 now for the same amount you can get triple prolific or even better. I feel so sorry ofr any big men trainers, the value of their players is getting so low. Something needs to be done to stop the deflation and the best thing is stopping (or at least capping) the free agents. Currently I think anyone $10,000 or more on a bot team gets turned into a free agent. This should be stopped ar at least the figure increaced a lot.

Well I mostly agree but not 100%. It is really easy to train big men. There are only 3 skills that count and two can be done single position. This means that even if you start with a triple average guy and can get just 6 pops a season you can have him at triple sensational in 3 seasons. Who can't do that? Far from impossible is triple respectable, 9 pops a season making the player potentially triple prodigious by age 21. I don't train bigs, and I don't know if anyone has actually achieved this, but it seems frightening.

For point guards things aren't so bad. The can be single position trained in almost everything and a steady diet of OD, passing and 1on1 shoud see them fantastic very soon.

Shooting guards have it much harder, first they have to be mostly played out of position, second they really need 6 skills and third lots of their training is two position.

I won't even begin on small forwards.

I have been in the market all season for bigs and the number of times I have checked players histories to see that they have sold for up to 5 times what they are currently selling for is just crazy. There are plenty of guys being trained every day and being sold. Free agents are really wrecking the economy lets switch them off.

The question is how many free agents are sold / how many normal players per week. If the numbre isnt too big, it would not really help and we would really miss some wicked players with 12 DV, 7JS and 13 JR. Well, this isnt a right example, but something like that with role player potential is really helpfull because of theirs salary.

The problema about the Fa is that the salary only isn't a reliable parameter to see the quality of the player

It should be insetred other filters based on the skills and on the age to select what players deserve to be freed and what players don't worth enough to retrun on the market

What's the conncetion with the FA situation?

I think he got carried away :)

well i think the free agents deflating prices so extremly are fantastic

i just bought Shalev Yaacov who was good enough to play in the finals on the Lietuva LBBL and who has been sold multiple times for more than $1,000,000 (1.3 was the top) for $395,000

this is awesome, it means that teams that have worked carefully for years, planned, trained and invested thousands of hours now into the game can be beaten by any punk who starts the game and gets a good original player /draft pick that they can sell

<-sarcasm

Isn't the problem that when lots of people stop playing the game, lots of free-agents are created, while lots of managers are lost?
That means supply goes up, and demand goes down, therefore prices drop. No rocket science there.

Thats right, but the problem is that with the huge increase in supply, the prices have dropped so much that at times its not even worth training players anymore.
