GM-WallyOop - I agree that the staff system should be a 1 time in season handeling but by the weeky wage rise it is NOT.
You can say that "rant is old" but that IS the main defect in this system! and i suggested that the stuff members will take
a certin % of the team income and AGAIN it is ignored and you say that "there is no clear proposal"? what is that if not a proposal?
My point is that the weekly raise is completely predictable. Therefore you need not keep an eye on the staff wages all the time. On the other hand, a change where the spending on staff input does not change over time (in your proposal it fluctuates in absolute values but not in relative values) requires very little planning whatsoever. It's largely just set once, then forget sort of thing. (Think arena building for established teams. How exciting is that?) The game play implications of the current system win in my opinion.
But i can live with the bidding system(even that it suck and i think i also need to be changed)but the wage rise is a critical issue - dont cancel it with "old rant" IT NEED TO BE CHANGED aint BB suppose to be a game for fun? well that ruin it a lot,i have so many good things to say about this game and i try to get friend involved in it and this is the only thing that is so bad in it that i feel that it MUST be changed,all other things are minor and can be lived with.
Seriously?
But I would actually gladly change the staff bidding system if someone presented a well-thought alternative. The way it is currently implemented is just about need right now - buy at any cost, need later - try to find a deal. The staff members have a constant pay increase (in %) and zero or one specialty per bozo. It's a fairly simple numbers game and pretty boring really to bid in this setting. With player auctions, you are dealing with training plans, game tactics, skill distributions, NT spot/potential, visible personalities (if you are at least a bit role playing inclined), etc. There seems to be a point in the bidding, and it can even be fun. I like it although it can be frustrating at times. As a seller, it can also be somewhat interesting. Staff bidding is just about saving a little money or more of your in-game time.
dont we want to improve the game instead of saying "it's good as it is?" i am sure that a user survey on this would see a lot more then 50% supporting a change to the staff system.
I am all for improvements, have been all the time. Like said, more realistic is not the same thing as more playable.
