Having thought a bit more about the numbers I think it may be more difficult purely because of the times people are online.... if a staff member comes up for grabs when 800 people are online then the bidding war is likely to carry on beyond that of if the auction ends at a time when there is 200 or so people online...

With the player TL it seems to tick along even in quieter times but if the volume of staff hitting the market is too low then it might even mean downgrading to a lvl 1 if you are always being gazumped when looking for your cheaper/chosen replacement when your staff salaries are too high for you to maintain.

How can you ever say that's exaggerated?

even if it's just a one dollar increase per week, the thought of having weekly negotiations to the management just seems unreal...

monthly negotiations may get fewer qualms, offseason negotiations would be my own best solution, but weekly salary negotiations is just too unreal.

It doesn't mean there are weekly negotiations. It is perfectly possible that the initial contract was negotiated with weekly increases.

Hey! There are too few high level staffs.

Tonight there are 16 trainers available of level 6 and one of level 7. For me that is more than we need the way this has turned out. If someone can pay $1 400 000 for a level 6 trainer (Ruddy Costa), the problem must be that there are too many teams with too much money in the bank.
How can one trainer of lvl 6 be so much better than another of lvl 5 justify this amount of money?

One quick answer may be people who want to train players for their National Team. Any increase in training will help their country in the long run.

I am likely to dump my players, demote and start training only U21 and NT players after I pick up a level 7 coach. I won't care anymore about how much the coach costs since I don't care too much anymore about how my team performs.

yeah - the only legitamate teams that will buy will probably opt to train 3 MVP's single position only.

Other than this I just hope they dont fall into the hands of teams that have no aspiration of climbing the BB ladder... just those who have slipped the net and set up a secondary account to support their NT or to flood the market at a time where they happen to have just got a nice cash amount on the team they are keeping for the long term.

I can't understand how that many people can judge that already, although people tend to be scared for changes. They might as well demand a salary increase of 1 single dollar per week. How can you ever say that's exaggerated?

Please stop overreacting and wait untill you know the numbers.

It's not realistic, as easy as that. The system before was much closer to reality: staff members loose with time their level, sometimes they gain a level, but they are hired for the same budget for one season at least. What staff member can afford to ask for more money every week?

Now people will pop up and say: this is just a game! but this game is based on something that exists and attracts therefore Basketball-interested people. ANd the closer it is to reality, the more it will keep attracting people. Otherwise we could say this is a fantasy game and then I am the first who will look for a different site to play.

I am not saying it is a reason for me to leave this game, and I love Buzzerbeater, but i think it should be not too far away from the real world. Inventing new rules and features is fine, but in the case of staff in my opinion unnecessary. I was much happier with the system before, as it was in my opinion also more realistic.

And I am not overreacting, I think it is overreacted to call that overreacting without asking the reasons for my opinion. ;)

sometimes they gain a level

This has never happened, to my recollection.

Plus, I think the new system is fairly realistic, if you consider that in most firms and organizations it is normal for employees to receive periodical wage increases.

I think I've read somewhere that this happened, but I don't remember where and maybe I got it wrong.

Periodical wage increases are realistic, yes. But not monthly or weekly. Every six or three months maybe. Plus it depends a lot on the firm and organization. A sports association will combine such raises with the success the club has. As a coach for example you can not have a raise when the team you are coaching is descending. It's not justified and totally out of question isn't it?

I would say totally out of question is an overstatement, but I can see the grounds for your argument.

I have gone on the record tolerating stretching realism for the sake of gameplay, so I guess we can agree to disagree.

Well I'd love to be your accountant...

1mil.... lets say you get a seasons value out of him.. thats 70k per week.. plus his wage.. thats 103k (without increments) so lets average it out at 105k. (and this is probably lowballing it.)

So thats 80-85k a week more for a guy that is going to add how many extra skill levels to your trainees? (that are probably depreciating in value or should I say appreciating more slowly due to the new levels of deflation caused by the influx of cash into the new staff system)

Dude, you are actually bringing facts, numbers and rational thinking in the game, you do realize we can't have that, don't you?
