I think that create a U21 international league with a second FREE team tied to the principal would be a better idea. You could buy or sell players and, reaching 21, decide if let an established (by rules) number of them reach the main team, or sell them or eventually fire them.

Thats just a pipedream. We need to see small changes that can be made in the current environment, to stabilize the game.

Changes that will affect the game long term - like almost wiping out the transfer market through hyperinflation, just to force teams to train players (which won't work anyways, as those guys won't reach the market soon/at all) and reduces the chances of new teams to catch up even more, as it takes years to save up enough money to buy the players to move up the ranks (which itself is a horrible thing) - are useless.

I first played in season 16 and I was terrible but what kept me was spending money. I had a tremendous passion to spend money and I was addicted to it. I soon learned the strategies after a while and it was fun to me. But like I just said.. "to me"

what I've always liked in this game was the long term basis program, if you begin now something it will take a lot of time to be completed. Due to the fact that the economy in this game is really important, I see for at least the second time an external hand that changed what I decided some seasons ago. It could be also better for my personal team but this is something wrong for the whole game. If you want to add details in the game everything is ok and you can do it whenever you want but if you wanna change the value of a skill or the global economy you must inform the "users" with some advance. So what can we expect now? It's time to sell players or if we sell our players now we may have money to buy just one player in a couple of weeks?

That U21 sounds like a pretty good idea! Long term change, but a good one.

Well, hate to beat a dead horse, but Marin pretty much admitted to fiddling with outside shooting ("very minor changes" he said) without telling anyone, until he himself came out and said so in the Q&A. So that was definitely not a season in advance.

There was that incident where daytraders had already bought dozens of draftees and then the new tax rules were implemented at the end of that same week without any notice. This is not about training or GE but it's the same principle.

Technically both SB and JR were not announced in advance either, but this just depends on how you take Marin's words. I don't take a "we may implement this" or "we're thinking about that" and similar as "letting us know" that it's guaranteed to happen. The change that Marin was clearly set on was the removal of blank lineups and ironically that didn't happen for a couple of seasons after he started fixing it.

Besides, given the previous few comments, I believe the point was that since it takes seasons to train a player, it would make sense to announce the changes before people have started training based on the old information. Unless training is also made drastically faster, as in that case the short notice wouldn't affect you that much.
