nothing actually new team teams from being scammed today...new teams can still pay the same $200k for a scrub 25yo HOF


I think this is an important point. There are always bad deals for new players to get scammed on. I would argue its even worse now for new players because of the crazy prices. Before there were more day traders but you could get good players for great prices. Now you can have new players pay 500k for some 38yo and it's not even considered a scam because it's "fair market value."

There was also a time when I could sell this player for 1.5M and that was his value market:

That was season 10 though and I'm not sure but I'm guessing he would have been a decent player for that era, though I get your point about market value.

Everyone(including me!) wants to buy low and sell high. Teams that have good players want to be able to sell them at crazy prices and teams who don't have them want to be able to buy them dirt cheap.

To get the thread back to being positive, Scotland has seen a huge increase in new users lately (for Scotland anyway). We even have a full Div I now!

9 out of those 10 are worth that price
You should define worth. What is worth for you may not be the same as someone else.

That said, we all know that's not the real issue. In s10 the game was growing and the player you linked might have been good enough to start in D2. In s20 that was a very mediocre player because the average level of players in the game got much better. Now, partly because of a reduction in users but mostly due to deliberate choices, the average talent is reducing. This means players you would have used as backups 5 seasons ago now can legitimately be used as starters.

I very much doubt that out of 18k users you will find many that prefer a draining talent pool rather than a stable or improving one. And as always we're back to one of the most debated issues in the last 20 odd seasons: training. BBs claimed they wanted to facilitate training, but all we got was additional (subpar) options to (suboptimally) address the issue of out of position training. When is something going to change in that department? When are we going to get some tangible on training? Do we need to wait until the talent pool has worsened so much that we deem the player you showed us 'worthy' of $1.5 million again?
