y but think of the numbers

if 0 d1 teams train that is 16 teams not training

but if 1/2 d3 teams can still train cause it is easy for them & they can make a profit that is 16 x 8 = 128 a lot more significant than the top div teams

& also what is happening with the pathetic out of control flood of free agent is weaker trainees like allstars dont get trained anymore but 18yo MVP+ guys still sell for far more than they will be worth once they r trained god knows why & they still get great training

perrenial allstars are still a good investment, but yeah, all-star- is getting undervalued. Let's see in my draft I drafted a 2k C 6'9'' James Boyle, who was really really bad but I decided to train him with Coleman to see what happens and then he gets injured, when he got injured I sacked him and got a steal in Delong. Only all stars+ with 3k+ salary get trained also trainees on new teams get trained too anyone above allstar potential is good start for a new team. but now since your right FAs are flooding the TL the number of all stars getting trained is decreasing, number of ss+ is increasing, soon in BB allstars will get SACKED and then there'll be brawls for those SS+ people. Especially if they're HOF potential then they'd be going for 3+Mil then trainees will be valuable then when the FA flow stops or runs out (like the USA Proposed year ending 20?? when Social Sercurity Retirment will run out) then there will be a major depression and allstars and stars and starters will get trained again, and it'll take about 5-6 seasons for the TL to recover. At the rate we're going we will may run out at S27-S35. That's when the next depression in BB will start if we don't keep training those still worth while all stars and stars, while P. Allstars+ will be worth like 1 MIL 5 MIL for ATG's 4MIL and you know the rest, so we need to keep training or a major depression will begin, I heard that back in Seasons 11-15 there was a major depression I think? Is that true?

What? I'm not even sure what you're trying to say here...

basically all I'm saying (in a short paragraph now) is that all star rooks are undervalued and that FAs are going to run out soon, if FA's run out there's a depression (running out and spike in prices) and then there'd have to be training of all stars now. get it? a depression=financial meltdown=hard ties for new teams who can only buy all stars and cna only improve in training, cause everyone that's worthful is rare and they go for 6 figures and maybe 7 figures.... now you get it adc?

You don' need to say so much to say so little!

The BB economy is simple: prices drop, prices rise. Unless they're rising, people complain about deflation, and say that whatever feature irritates them (in this case, free agents) is the cause of this and global warming and nipple cancer in rhesus monkeys. The masses of Herpistan and Derponia assemble to herp and derp through the issue, everyone follows along, and the prices keep on derpi... er, dropping.

The economy, such as many things here, attempts to follow rules of economics but the true master is psychology.

I've seen FA's retire. Yes I would have bought atleast 3 of them if I would have had the funds.

I've seen people list their players, still prolly thinking it's xmas. Start adapting to teams current funds and capabilitys.

I've seen people buying trainees way over their value. These guys are either increadibly dumb or are willing to overspend to build a NT player, who will eventually bankrupt their team:)

There is profit in training, but the profit is in training for your own team.

It makes some more sense now, but I don't know. BB is just like any other economy system. It will flucuate and there will be points of inflation and deflation, but it'll take a lot to totally skew the economy like that. What basis do you have for predicting this will happen? FA's are really only a fairly small portion of the market. I can see prices fluctuating if there are less of them, but I don't see it causing an extreme change like you are saying.

I have suggested time and again that they link FAs to the influx or reduction of user base..

I agree with this idea or something similar.

I think "switching FAs off" altogether is a bad idea, but something should be done so that training, which is arguably one of the most fun aspects of the game, is worth its wait and focus.

i agree & dont u think it is odd that their "limit" on free agents lets cheap players retire that new & low div teams actually need while useless $200k guys keep getting kicked around forever rented each week by whoever needs them 4 a big game

but some credit the salar floor has been raised now 2 $180% of tv money for top div

in abbl season 20 tv was 220k & salary floor was $260k, next season it would be about $400k, great move!

for d2 australia tv is about $130k & next season floor will be 140% in d2 so about $200k

d3 australia floor will be 100% of tv, about $80k i think so still really low

i agree & dont u think it is odd that their "limit" on free agents lets cheap players retire that new & low div teams actually need while useless $200k guys keep getting kicked around forever rented each week by whoever needs them 4 a big game

I agree. There should be less of these "expensive", behemoth players around. Would make them more expensive and, therefore, not as great an option for the rent-a-player-to-win-at-end-of-season strategy.
