dude im talking 25 % per season. 0.25 X 48 = 12 players per season from drafts only. The drafts are crap to my perspective since most of the draftees, get fired or end up playing in scrimmages only. 12 players from one league are enough to keep the game going but not enough to boost the further development of the game. When most of the drafts end up fired, then the drafts are not "simulating" the situation effectively.

Every aspect of the game is connected to another. you cant a find a good player in a reasonable price these days. 2 years ago you could buy a 28 year old with 1 million and now a 32 yo with same skill set is sold 1.5m and maybe more (and im talking about cheap prices here, go check the market and figure out for yourself whats happening).

The total players playing the game has significantly decreased (and when a team turns bot, some of the players return to the game, there you go thats why my facts are not "improbable", bot teams are also a way of feeding new players to remaining teams) . I have seen many teams in greek top league (A1) that are playing with 35 yo players just because they cant find anything better in the market. Training is extremely slow also, making it extremely difficult to sell a good player in 32 and buy a new one to train and replace him

Do we know what effect a higher PR guy has on season tickets and what effect season tickets has on overall economics in this game? Or how they impact ticket prices?
...
I do agree that the fan survey needs some work to have a more realistic reflection on how well our team is doing though.

Re a PR guy, I know that level 1, 2 and 3 have no visibly different effect. They may be programmed to have a difference, but in practice it is invisible. And for mid-level teams the inflation that prevails makes higher level PR guys out of reach (just one more problem of the inflation that currently exists). So yeah, at least for lower- and mid-level teams, it needs work ... but I will give you that it is not high on the list of priorities.

This game would be much more interesting, if it were introduced another European Cup. As it in soccer in real world, there are European league. In which would participate conference finalists. So from each country it will be three participants.
So, many teams who are not strong enough to win the title in their own country, have at least some kind of goal and satisfaction for a well-played season. Plus, It will be a chance to play a competitive match with colleagues in World.

Re a PR guy, I know that level 1, 2 and 3 have no visibly different effect.

In my experience, there is a significant income diference between a PR level 1 and level 3. I tried when I was in II league and I got my wrost attendance keeping the same winning record. Sadly I didn't take notes but I dropped from over 300k to around 270k.
Maybe a PR with some levels is only design for the top leagues.

Sorry ... but it did. Every season the training is slowing down for the same trainee

1) training -

2) player market -

3) time -

1) I agree, training is an illogical mess. That's not news to anyone. People with official ties to BB (or who might be perceived that way) have to defend it, though.

2) Agree here, too. Super inflated prices for players suitable for mid-level teams for sure. BB-Marin says it has to be that way so managers who train up some young players get richly paid for their training. (No, training is just too slow and expensive. Fix training first and you could then fix inflation.)

2) Time. Well, everybody is different.

I've been here since Season 18, and here is my take:

1) Training has actually become easier in the last season with the out of position training option. It comes at a cost to efficiency, but still, you can do it if you wish. I haven't noticed a training slowdown in the past 13 seasons.

2) Players are indeed spendy, but that is good if you are selling. Seems that once a team gets a couple rounds of buying and selling in this new market, things should balance out for them. One day, player prices may drop again, and that will be good for people who are buying. Not sure what we could do (or should do, for that matter) about the market price on players increasing. The market is a market, and players are selling for that much because folks are willing to pay that much.

3) I've always been content with the pace of this game.
