I think that we mainly are in agreement with each other.

I do not say that increased prices for players must be a problem. Just think that it is a pattern that is currently occuring. Will be a problem if new managers will have to little money to buy any decent player and this could be the case if they are in big disadvantageous in terms of merchandise and other incomes. But not saying that it is a "threat" for lower division teams.

You can have wealth by simply keep improving your lineup frequently but not frequently enough to be daytrading punishments. Buying two to three new players every season with $100k salary would be enough to be wealthy but almost broken economically.

"That's assuming that getting there had nothing to do with your strategical and tactical skill, which is a questionable statement, at the least."

Getting success might be by impressive coaching and strategical planning. My comment was just that you should not benefit from past successes too long time. And if you got very much money you will be able to always compete for the absolutely best players. Then it won't help that teams with less resources are doing everything correct both in terms of training, tactics and economical planning. And I am definitely not hinting that this is currently the case because that is beyond my knowledge. But this reply was mainly directed to bic that seems to prefer that successful teams should have very good rewards in terms of money. If they got similar rewards as Real Madrid, Barcelona and so on it might take extremely many seasons before they could be challenged by other teams even if they make many huge mistakes.

My understanding is that new managers should expect to be able to buy their first really decent player when they sell their first really decent player. Which, by definition, makes the nominal prices irrelevant.

I think Juicepat's post was a joke.

The BB's explicitly told us at least two seasons ago that domestic players would be advantageous to your team. You bought Japan's best player but have since sold him. Whoops. Frydeck didn't buy any domestic players and is now crying about it.

Crying over 45k a week, which is not enough to pay half a week's salary for players on teams like yours and/or BS Crydek, is ridiculous. You grossed roughly 800000 last week. Frydek grossed roughly 700000. I don't think it's that big of a problem, especially in light of two things. A) The developers are trying to create an environment where parity is at least a pipe dream and your two teams (and I do not mean to lump you into the same category of single-minded whining as we are seeing from Bik_76) are in the top .0006% of the teams which play this game.
I am going to buy a new level 7 PR guy and see how my merchandise sales change. I will report back when I have some tangible data.

Edited to remove poor joke and to adjust month to week.

no not neccesarily, in fact the rules state that how much you get for a domestic player is a function of his skill as well... equal skilled players you are gonna get more for a domestic, but at some point the superstar foreigner will add enough to the team's overall ability/fan spirit etc to be worth more than the domestic. Maybe we don't have that tradeoff point in the right spot, but i think the principle is correct.

Crying over 30k a month

Every dollar counts and is very important. And he crying not for 30k a month, but 45k a week.

Crydek didn't buy any domestic players and is now crying about it.

You don't have letter "F" in your keyboard or it's bad joke crying/Crydek? There were hardly any suitable czech players in last 2 seasons.
