we don't believe in the long run this takes money out of the system
I disagree because this change makes the specialists more expensive than the previous one; I've to hire my lvl 5 coach because he earns a lot of money: first I've lost the bonus you're giving me today (that is 10k all included) second if I will have to buy a new lvl 5 coach I'm quite sure that no one bid will finish with 1k paid.
Honestly I thought you did this change to make the specialists system more fun but also to reduce a little bit the incomes if you thought that the system will be in balance with this change I'm quite worried because it will be in the long run that this system will be more expensive than the previous one, exactly the opposite that you've written, of course imho
Anyway I like your idea, but as I had already written you, pls don't change often the economic system otherwise it will be hard to make a long term strategy, I'm sure that the market is not exciting now simply because people doesn't want to undersell the players comparing the prices to the last season, when there will be the new salaries people will have to sell and the market should reach the "correct" break even point ;)
