New environment, new team mates, missing self confidence, not knowing the game plan, travelling and contract negotiation distractions, looking for a new home and getting the move handled, maybe language issues...

Maybe a tweak...if a newly acquired player plays in any of first three games of the team, the enthusiasm drops for like 30%. If he "rests" for three games and plays in fourth, than no enth drop is required.

On hattrick you have those situations too (they have 1 mil users).
When you buy a player your team spirit (ent) will (can) drop, the player don't become any penalties on his GS.

I thought it would be the same on BB, but seems they have an another idea, we will see how long the penalties on GS will be, and how strong.

One thing i still dont get is : the GS hit affects only the player bought or the entire team??

because the first would be good, the second would be terrible

only the player

The player you bought will get some penalties on his GS.

BB-patrick gave us a very good reason why enthusiasm drop cant happen. (238664.34)

Perfect, now we need good reasons why GS drop must happen...

I have non of those. I think this change as it is will not improve the game experience. And something needs to be done for promoting and demoting teams adapt their roster to their new economic reality without losing gameshape in those key first weeks.

Also I can understand wanting to limit market play but I personally enjoyed trying to have succes in the transfer list. For me the transfer list was the best part of the game. I bought supporter so I could track players.

That took a big hit so I started training do be able to play the market game, you buy and trade trainees. With over 30% fees it was not an income but I did not lose money and had fun. Now that has been taken away. I have no use for my supporter package anymore.

Yeah, HT went the different direction and decided to give a bonus to players who are on the team a longer time, rather than a negative to players who are on the team a short time. For TL moves, the team spirit drop can be avoided if you happen to narrow your search to players with the correct personality traits. But the comparison isn't a real apples-to-apples one because HT has already attacked the monster player angle in a different way, by changing the training so that training slows down as skills reach high levels, and the skill drops speed up on higher level players (and are age-independent). The other significant difference is that there's not nearly as much of a postseason in HT as in BB; in BB, there are playoffs, relegation series as well as the Cup and B3, but in HT, there are far fewer teams who would have incentive to rent-a-team. It could happen for teams in late rounds of the Cup, or perhaps the Masters, and then the teams in the promotion/relegation matches, but because only half of the league champions need to play those and only the fifth and sixth place teams play relegation matches, the problem isn't nearly so severe.

You can still buy and trade players all you like, but you can't just replace players wholesale and expect full performance from them immediately any more. If this means having to plan out purchases a little more intelligently or having to carry some roster depth or not being able to just throw money at problems that crop up or having to manage around a gameshape hit for a couple of weeks, so be it.

This is why I love the new GS hit....THIS GAME IS A BASKETBALL SIM!!!! Not a stock market game. I am sure they have one of those out there some where. I bought supporter for the Private League games and the jersey numbers, scoreboard,......you bought supporter so you ca Bookmark players...that is silly.
the GS hit on the newly bought player is perfect..The team shouldn't get the GS or ENTH. hit...that is crazy. The player has to learn the new playbook, the team are still running the same plays.
Bravo to the BBs for this new feature.......It is perfect..It stops the RENT a beast hours before cup games and it puts the nail in the coffin for day traders....now if you want to day trade, you have to pay two or three weeks salary(+1 plus the extra time to get GS up)....Perfect...
conclusion: THIS IS A BASKETBALL GAME!!!
