i think he mean, that players don't like to get expectations to play in a team and get instantly selled again.


Yes, basically, if you think that the hurt feelings of the simulated staff should be a consideration, do you also apply that consideration to the buying and selling of players?

Myself, I don't think this aspect is worth considering. And, in fact, it's irrelevant to this suggestion. You can hire and fire a staff member instantaneously right now.

and i am pretty sure, that some players hire and fire their PR before every game to get the small bonus especially in the PO.

Yes, I agree. This is virtual and has nothing to do with real life. But I don't like that every thing that should make this game easy to play, is just good and nothing but good.

From a team-owner's point of view that might sound good, but you do not give any trainer false expectations without hurting his feelings, from a human point of view? I like fair play better than acting like a selfish "me and mine only!"-leader
.

Actually this perfectly normal practice and is not only quite realistic but also very common. Contracts are offered regularly to multiple parties with the stipulation that when one is accepted the others are void. It is done every day, and selfishness plays no part in it.

I don't like that every thing that should make this game easy to play, is just good and nothing but good.


1. How does this make the game easy to play?

2. If this is not a good change then please give even one legitimate reason to consider it a bad one.

1. You make the best choice possible while you 're not online
2. UNREALISTIC...

Perhaps this is done with new users in mind, and not veteran eggheads such as yourself. There will always be new riders in the game who need training wheels. If a newbie makes bids on 7 doctors, and somehow (not that this would happen but theoretically it could) manages to win them all, he could stand to lose quite a bit of money in a short period of time without really knowing.
I think your suggestion is a good one for myself, but I can see it being problematic for new users who don't really undertsand what they are doing yet and might get into some financial problems by hiring and firing seven doctors in one day. That said, maybe there could be a BB probationary period where full funcionality of the game is limited for a month of something- sort of the like the different levels on the tactics page.

Once I scored a basket that still makes me laugh.

That would be why he said to have an option to keep it as is. New players can switch over when they feel ready.
