Inflation needs to be controlled and stopped at one point, of course. A more precise term would be high TL prices. Since we have a different understanding of what high prices do for training, there is little we can agree on going further (I believe high prices motivate training and help lower div teams, as they have the ability to use training more, however you somehow believe the opposite). And yes, this means that I disagree with (1) being the current situation. (2) is wishful thinking. It's not a specific solution with all the pros and cons considered. It's just an abstract idea that is possibly even harmful to the game balance.

Removing the trade off aspect of training rewards top teams and promotes the status quo. It's a good thing to force top teams abandon training in order to be more competitive - this means that lower teams that do train can catch up to them. Otherwise, we wouldn't have any vertical movement between divisions.

In other words, if the teams at the top don't face erosive forces and can improve at the same level as those in lower levels, there's no chance of bridging the gap.

I doubt that we have strong vertical movement between divisions...

...any movement seems to be the result of botification...

...please prove me wrong.

Are you really saying all teams that promote do so because of botification?

Oh come on... No need to throw dirt, can we agree on that? Exaggerations are sthg. we are used from our Japanese drunkard, so please refrain from that.

I think that more teams promoted and had the chance to stay in the upper division because of natural erosion (Bot cleanup), than because of competitive promotion. The game becomes a lot easier if you automatically "win" relegation, because a bot is occupying the space. I don't have the resources to investigate this assumption, so maybe I am wrong, but I have a strong feeling that I have a point here.

With the high transfer prices it becomes even more useless to try to catch up. When a quality DIV I player costs 5 million, you wont get far with the hefty 1 mil promotion money, that either will buy you an declining old bum or a 75 TSP 21yo, or a 95 TSP 28yo.

You speak truth...there is no way div 4 or 5 teams can make profit training those allround players , especially when they buy trainers for millions...where's the profit when in the end you might sell that player for as much as trainers cost you , not even counting player salary...farms teams have been around for long time just diffiirent types , back in the day they would keep those monster salary NT centers , now they train allrounders for no profit...i've been gone from bb for a long time but things haven't changed much, inside tactics are still dominating but now people learned to do it without high salary monsters...
