Thats nice to know!!

But somehow i cant see many bidding wars breaking out over these kinds of players by the bigger teams.... do you think that these 10k players will help teams compete with the reallly top teams within BB?

In the long run, the result is exactly the opposite. Bid wars don't break out over very skilled player, because usually there are too few teams that can afford the transfer sum or paying their salaries week in and week out.

Of course, this doesn't work right now, because there are few players whose wages are high enough, and there is a ton of money to fly around.

As the game matures, plenty of average teams will be looking to purchase 10k players. Sure, they might not pull the type of top dollar they do right now, but they surely will be sold.

If this is really just to contain money supply, why not just temporarily increase player salaries by a large amount? This could be done in a weighted way so that the salary increase only impacts players who currently have large wages.

You said that player salaries have not caught up to what you want. So just set them that way. If you want the top players to have $500,000 salaries, then do it. Reset the salaries every year so that again the top players have a $500,000 salary. Then mid-range players who currently have 5-10 thousand in salary could remain relatively the same.

Also, something that could introduce a cost would be to age players faster. Right now they need to be geezers before they start to see a drop in skill.

Anyhow, I will take your suggestion, watch the changes and see what happens. You have never disappointed before so I will be cautiously optimistic. ;-)

This whole thing looks like treating headache with the guillotine. If you're going to target anything, target huge arenas until player salaries catch up with the revenue. That's the actual issue here.


I'd like BB-Charles to comment on this one because it looks like a reasonable idea.

I don't think they are going to tell. We'll just have to wait and see. But what's the rush? Is it going to change your whole plan for next season the way the financial changes did? Patiance...

He is refering to Division I teams that do not have large arenas and depend on TV money. Other than tv money and larger arenas how is it that he would make so much more money than you? That is his point - if there is no advantage in TV money and he has the same a rean that a lower division team has then he is going to have a great deal of trouble under the new changes.


more attendance at higher prices, for example?

I don't think the answer is to speed up the "end of the game." Players will eventually reach their peaks and decline, it is only seaosn 6, give it 4 more and you will see what they had been reaching for this whole time.

If I had to guess (and please note that I am stressing the "guess" part), I'd say U21, but U20 is possible also.
