What I'm saying is because of the sudden increase in Salary Floor, there was also a sudden demand for players just for certain teams to reach salary floor. That demand has slowly been decreasing because people keep buying players and therefore their salary floor has been reached. Less people buying= lower prices, obviously.

Excess Money has to leave the game or it will find its way into the bidding process in the form of price inflation.


It is leaving through price inflation (inevitable). But once it leaves, (and it is starting too) prices will eventually go back too the way it was.

One thing champions of FA don't realize is that FA represents people quitting the game. Period. ... Demand for FAs will always be +/- the rate of sign-up vs. people leaving.

Way wrong. One thing opponents of Free Agents don't realize is that deliberate choices by BB management on releasing or withholding FA's totally overwhelms the small effect of teams going bot or new players signing up.

What free agency criteria would cause an increase in player supply if no teams left the game?

Increasing FA's across the board. Marin can do that any time he wants.

Where do you think FA come from?

They have always come from the teams going bot, with a much smaller number being players who are fired. The second group rarely having anyone of value even when everyone went to FA, since if they were of even low value the team likely would have put them on the TL and gotten a couple thousand for them rather than just firing them.

So how exactly can Marin increase the number of FAs any time he wants? And especially how can he do that if no teams leave the game?

Are you kidding? He codes this game. He can generate any number and any type of FA's he wants, any time he wants.

And is someone kidding that NO teams will go bot? I'll have some of that Kool-Aid.

While he has made coding changes to the game, to suggest that he's suddenly just going to randomly generate players out of his rear end and throw them on the market after doing not that much to stem the prices of the market the past few seasons seems just a little bit ridiculous.

I also think that demand on the market can be artificially created by creating a Utopia League (increases demand for 6+ potential prospects to develop and veterans to help establish a spot within the utopia bracket) and then again by telling the handful of teams close to or slightly above the soft cash cap that their money was devalued if they wanted to keep on hoarding it. the rise and fall of the user base is the most dependable tool, but not the only thing can create the supply and demand.
