lots of ideas have been presented. I presented some ideas like~
limited number of times you can bid on a given player. Limited number of times you can bid on a given player within a given time frame. Limited number of bids you can make at once, in a given time frame.

Like if you could only bid once an hour, well you'd bid what you mean to pay...but lots point out this still would be at the very last second. It would be funny though.


Prob wouldn't solve it as you pointed out.


Other options is to have every auction processed same time each week, like right before or after financial update. In the interim everyone searches players availabel that week and makes their bids for what they will pay for players available. This would even out what is paid for what type of player a bit.


Along these lines... if people just bet what they were willing to pay for a player... and did not get to see who else bid, what the current bid was, etc. And then it processed and gave to the winner... I could see that working.

Another option is auctions being raised by larger amounts in the last hour of bidding, lright now its like 2% or whatever. Should be like 10% increase to bid in last hour. Then like 20% increase last 20 minutes, and 30% last 5 minutes, 40% last 1 minute.


Loving the theory behind this.

I don't think the same time process thing will be fair with so many countries and timezones present. Plus it still has the issue of people that have busy schedules (school, work, friends, trying to eat somewhere in there) would still be at a great disadvantage, probably more so depending on the time.

The X bid(s) per Y, I like. It makes sense, an organization would have to talk things over. Along with raising the increases, but their would have to be a ceiling (1.8 million @ 40 percent could be ridiculous) but 100,000 raised each bid would not.

I still think charging per bid would be beneficial and make managers decided how much they want to spend instead of trying to nickel and dime their way around.

Honestly I hate how much this game seems to revolve around free agency, but there is no way to be competitive without using it, especially early it seems.

Not just that... but, the worst thing in the world. Is if Player A and Player B both finish auction around the same time. and I have all my money invested in bid for Player A, and someone "snipes" in, etc. There isn't always enough time if not supporter with transfer bookmarks, for me to go and search and find Player B whom is less skilled etc. and Get my bid in on time for him either. Now I have to bid on a different similar guy, who's auction ends in another 2-30 hours. Just to have the same last second-swooping in occur.

Newer Managers don't have the money to do the "minimum raise" bid on 10-50 players. like... lan4ik for example

You can always use browser bookmarks or excel for your transfer interests. I usually have to use them aswell, as 50 ingame bookmarks is not enough. I hope they raise the bookmark limit soonish:)
