long term contract are very hard here cause of the quick improvement you can get with training, also i wouldn't find it much strateic when you couldn't keep your player build, since you constantly get outbid by other managers as soon as there contracts ends.

Also those constant buy out, would go to a lot player movements and revealed skills.

Over 500k profit on this player.

If he was on a contract, I would be severely penalised for breaking that contract. I am more likely to keep him and use my strategic thinking to win, instead of making profit on transfers.

Perhaps, also, contracts should only be able to be broken at particular times (off season, just before trade deadline).

He _is_ penalized for "breaking the contract" -- he's getting 15%+ docked off the asking price. If you're looking for bigger penalties, it's likely not going to happen.

The training would be included in the initial price of the contract.

I don't see a problem with knowing your opponent's skills. If you're in any league, you can watch a tape of their game(s) and learn their skills quite quickly. It's unrealistic not to know their skills.

Yeah, I see what you're saying.

Perhaps if the fan survey was adjusted to incorporate broken contracts. I know it happens now but I think with contracts it could be done more severely, with justification. Which fan wants to go and watch their city take on another city, when they don't even know who will be playing that night?

As I mentioned just three posts ago, the fan survey incorporates that measure already. It's called "I am familiar with the star players, and am not afraid that they will be transferred".

It's interesting that you make out as though I am affected by confirmation bias, but you deny your own.

A constant rotation of players in and out of the team will affect the fans more than this one part of the fan survey. At the beginning, maybe, they might get over it. After a while, not many will come to the games. I see your point that the fan survey is trying to address this. Now, see my point that it fails or, at most, falls very short.

you can the games here too, and get an idea about them. If they should be public or not is another thing, but i like how it is today.

The training would be included in the initial price of the contract.


should we also set our lineup and training regimes, one season in advance? Even i had several player who double there salaries withn a season, and i am not talking from 5 to 10k, you can even train from 40k to 120k within a season.

That's a silly suggestion. If you did that you would lose for sure. Surely the tactics of buzzerbeater would get you beaten if everyone knew what your strategy was.

Another reason to advocate contracts would be that it would put a more natural state to the BB economy, rather than BBs (or whoever does it) injecting free agents back into the system.

If it was set up with contracts, the player would always be there, ready to play. All they'd need is someone to ask them to play (sign them up).

I'm not making out anything. You tried to claim the fan survey should include something that's already there. If you want to argue its effect is not severe enough -- that's a different argument altogether.

Ok, you got me on a semantic. I'm not going to look back to see if I did or didn't say it. The point remains that the fan survey isn't realistic.
