| I didnt like this one, but great work for the other changes.
For the bigger teams i think thats ok, but how should a team like me make some money?
Seems like things are getting harder for each season, wow, this is starting to get a little boring...
I dont want to complain, but i dont think this was such good idea.
I think buying and selling is a great ability, well its not like that someone can take total advantage of this game because of this. In any seasons teams have done this but still they are not the biggest teams. The teams who buys and sells all the time also buys from other teams who deos the same. so i think this was totally fair.
Im sure the bigger teams will say that this was good idea for stopping those who pickup youths and sell them for a higher price to make money. They already have a great team with high Q players and good income so this will be nothing for them.
But how do u think the current big teams grew up to be what they are right now?
Nowdays when a player begins he gets 17.5m + maybe some few millions in sponsors.
With those money u cant even buy one Q72 youth! maybe u can pick up a Q69 and train him up, but with this update the new manager wont be able to sell him after all his hard job for making the player better. How should we make money? if u tell me, ill take this back.

I didn't like this one, sometimes you buy a q71 player, you work it, and then you want to sell it the same season when he is q74, you've spent credits on training him. |

|
By : Osloborger | Selling... | 10:09 05/07 2008 |
| Most seens good, but not the rules about not selling any player bought in one season. Poor teams need cash and most teams should be allowed to sell ONE player they have bought during a season. That would limit inflation a lot, because today some team sell many more then one. |

By : Mycroft | Hmmm | 11:09 05/07 2008 |
| Not sure what I think about it, receive only 100 creds means no cup, esp no norwegian forum cup. I like that you can't sell the player same season as you buy him, like the real world. Perfect. |
|
|
By : coolcam666 | My only worries are...... | 11:35 05/07 2008 |
| If you can only transfer a player once per season their value will sky rocket. This is because the amount you have to put into them will increase. Also in rounds 1-5 the value of players will be gigantic due to the massive selling off.
Also with the credit thing i think a little change should be made so that the 100 creds is only to do with the transfer of players. As Mycroft just said this rules out rewards for cups and such which was always a great feature. I think such rewards should be put to the admins for examination then completed.
Finally the reducing the friendlies revenue is a bad idea. Since a lot of the youth farmers get part of their wealth from the revenue of friendlies they will not have as much money. This will increase demand for the youth players, as will the one transfer rule, and make the price of youths ridiculously high due to the fact they dont have as much money as they need to buy.
Please take these into consideration. |

-What about teamless players? if i buy a teamless player.. can i sell him the same season?
Anyways.. I like most of the changes.. and looking forward to see some results even though i think 100 credits in total is to low 200 in total i like better since that was the original max amout.. until ppl started to send credits through other teams..
I like that you changed the income on friendlies down to 250k.. it will stop alot of money to get into the game
and to the fortune tax.. i still think you can increase it up to 3-5%.. 2% is really nothing..
This was my thoughts only tho

By : tonycfc | restricting the teams who need to catch | 13:10 05/07 2008 |
|
i think these changes will suit the teams who are already king midas and have all stadium apgrades done
in my opinion this only broadens the gap between the veterans and the likes of me and fellow managers who will follow in my footsteps,how can i possibly catch up with them now if i cant do basically what these teams have been doing for many seasons
as reguards the credits why would you want to put a stop on this as alot of managers are in a position to use their 200 donated credits if they so choose,i understand that not all managers can but surely the game has to be aimed at the people who can and will spend money and alot of credits during the season
all of the above really has me thinking now should i bother to go on if i cant catch up with the king midas in the game
whats the point now if it will take me atleast 10 more seasons to catch up with the likes of Hogwarts(just an example)
surely Spinner these changes arent one of your brighter ideas and i know alot of managers will like them but coming from a manager who spends alot on credits every season and is active nearly all day every day surely there more important upgraddes to be carried out

| The new changes will be very bad for new teams. Just less and less money for them.
For example the money for the friendlies: The 50,000 from the friendlies, is really needfull for the new teams. They should get more money instead of you lowering it.
They should for example get like 30m instead of 12m when they start. |

|
By : Spinner | Thenk you for your views! | 05:07 06/07 2008 |
| Allow me to comment some of them:
First of all, according to the feedback, it seems some players think this is good for the "poorer teams" and some think they are good for the "richer teams". This demonstrates the duplicity in the work against inflation, and some challenges to overcome.
The "a player can only be sold once per season" was meant to stop the increased price on players that is caused by speculations by the teams who spend a lot of time hitting the search-button on transfers, to snatch up every player he can get his hands on on the teamless market before others get him. Now, such a player will not be able to get that many, as his team will fill up with players he can't sell until next season, leaving other teamless for others to buy.
As someone mentioned here, it COULD mean that the price will actually increase when it comes to team-to-team transfers, I must honstely say I do not know how it will play out, but it will also mean that more teams can pick up players from the teamless market, for lower prices. This angle has given me something to consider at least.
When it comes to the credit-donations and the new limit, I never meant to block off donations to create cups, no way. But we do wish to get rid of the large credit-deals in transfers, as they are disruptive to the game in the long run. And yes, I realize that we might lose real money on this limit, and still we wish to do it, for the good of the game.
To avoid the cup-issues, maybe the limit should still be 200 in stead of 100, as long as there is no way to get around it, like it has been now. |
|
|
By : Spinner | For those thinking... | 05:11 06/07 2008 |
| For those saying that the poorer teams will struggle due to the lower income on friendlies, you should consider that the newer teams don't get the max from these games anyway. So going from 300k to 250k might not make a difference for them.
If inflation is to be controlled (and everyone agrees here, it seems), all teams will have to "pay for it, if not much, and the richer teams will pay the fortune-tax and the loss of a little friendly-income, while the medium teams will pay the loss on friendly income, and the newer teams will not really notice anything at all.
Also consider, that having a little less money isn't bad if the money is WORTH MORE than it would have been due to inflation...
And for crying out loud, people should be less keen to pay lots of money for 17 year olds, when you might as well buy them at 18 or 19 and train them hard to reach their potential.... |
|
|
By : Spinner | Poll... | 05:13 06/07 2008 |
| I have also made a poll on the front page where you can vote and voice your opinion on the "A player can only be sold once per season".... |
|
|
By : Everest Leo | re Poll | 10:45 06/07 2008 |
| Spinner, if you would ask people "would you like to pay lower taxes?"
...90%+ of them would say no!
(so not sure what comes out in the poll as most popular is best for the game. now it looks like neck-and-neck for yes/no. I would say "no" is best, as it stops the "teamless hunting".)
in long run, prices will most likely continue to increase: top teams need about 2 young players each year, and they get 0 (sometimes bad) or 1 youngster each year, so they need to buy about 1.5 younger players each year. the effective way to fight against inflation would be 2 youngsters / season, than demand would drop, all players would cost just as keepers now.
lower prices however would take away some part of the challange though: a good manager needs to be able to take care about his finances well....it's not necessarily bad if people are complaining, it only means game is harder - so it's challenging!!!
if you want more popoularity, just give everyone 17 year Q90 players for free! |

|
By : Ancelotti1 | Great! | 14:26 06/07 2008 |
| Nice changes, and it shows that you really do listen to the players (About every change was more or less suggested in a thread in the Norwegian forum).
The only thing I'm worried about is the limit for receiving credits, because of the large cups. Maybe you could allow the teams that arrange the cups to receive as much as necessary? It will be more work for you, though ... |
|
|
By : Thales | cup donations | 14:55 06/07 2008 |
| instead of increasing the number of credits donated to players, perhaps it could be made possible to donate credits to cups. Like, someone can arrange a 64 teams cup and then if someone donates 10 credits to the cup it means the 5 next teams to signup can do so credit-free. |
|
|
By : Spinner | "would you like to pay lower taxes?" | 15:03 06/07 2008 |
| The poll is not at all about whether people would want lower taxes or not, not at all.
Most people agree that increasing prices must be dealt with, and the poll will show the expectations on whether players BELIEVE the transfer-limit will help in the right direction.
Don't forget that the prices are also controlled by psycology, like any open market, and the result of the poll will give me a hint to how that effect might play out.
Some of these things is almost impossible to predict, and so I am fully aware I might have to change it again later if it would lead to higher prices. But don't forget that you can only get the amount someone is willing to pay, so the buyers actually dictate the prices here.
That said, the Demand is a key factor here, and so I have adjusted the number (and the quality) of teamless players now, to create more players, with slightly higher average quality and slightly lower age. This should increase the amount of these wanted players, while the demand should be more or less the same, which should in effect help bring the prices down. But as I said, this isn't easy, and it might take some time before we see the results... |

|
By : Mr Gallina | Players can only be.... | 15:03 06/07 2008 |
| The current popular/ bigger teams dont need this and most of them surely will say no in the poll.
They already has build up a great team by this and dont need/ cant pick up i.ex. a Q74 because of the -9 rule.
They have been able to this in many seasons and im sure each of them has taken their chances! but now they want to say no...
This makes it harder for new teams to grow and makes it easier for the current big teams, cause they will face less challenges etc.
Dont u think its fun to buy players and sell them? or what it feels like when u got eyes on a good teamless player? what do u think then? u think, ow what a player, i can make big money If i train him well and sell him later! Very few would think, this player should stay in my team for many season, im sure he would be pretty good! u cant know that! cuz their potenial changes! thats why most of us dont take that chance and sell them. Maybe he will be great, maybe not, but atleast i can keep the money.
For many new teams that is the way for getting a better team, im sure most of us started like that.
We sell our best potentialed players, and to take it the next step.We pick up/ buy some low Q 17yos for the money, train them and sell them for a higher price when they get better.
This is the way of survivng! or to become great...and managers who pick up the better teamless player often, is their way to make money.
Not many wants to do that, because its boring and it kills ur time! for those who wants to do that, let them do it! as i said there are not many many manager who wants click on the search button all day long or who stays awake to 3-4 of clock late in the night. |
|
|
By : Spinner | Credits.. | 15:04 06/07 2008 |
| The previous limit was intended at 200, the problem was that it was circumvented by "going around the rules". Now that going around the rules should be impossible, I guess the limit can still be 200, to avoid cup-problems.
And if you want to arrange very special cups, contact support, and I can help. |
|
|
By : Spinner | Mr Gallina | 15:08 06/07 2008 |
| Your point is indeed taken.
I don't wish to stop people from buying, training and selling, I wish to stop people from being pure scavengers on the transfer-search, buying 6-7 youngsters and placing them for sale right away. Maybe the limit could work like "You can't place a new player on the market until 7 days have passed, or something like that...Do you think that would work? |
|
|
By : Mr Gallina | Spinner | 15:13 06/07 2008 |
| Yes! rather this instead of completely removing this ability. That was a great idea, but anyways most players train them some days before putting them on sale.
Because they think maybe he will gain in Q, then he will be worth much more.
But ur idea seems fair, so please edit this update.
Thanx for understanding/ getting my point. |
|
|
By : A Phillips | Other way to solve the problem | 15:31 06/07 2008 |
| I think a better way would be to limit the transfres per season a manager gets to do (for instance 6). Then you can do what you want with the players (buy them or sell them) but just for a limited amount of times (3 buys and 3 sells or 4 buys and 2 sells, or 1-5, etc). This will also promote the sacking players function if you already have the money but you have few tranfers left.
Kind Regards |
|
|
By : Kew Almighty | .... | 15:46 06/07 2008 |
| I think it would be good if you can recieave a maximum 200 credits every season.Then you can make one big credit deal or some smaller ones.
Or maybe 250? |
|
|
By : Everest Leo | free market - or not | 17:15 06/07 2008 |
|
it is like economic policy:
most important is to have _fixed rules_, so managers can plan and build their own strategies. ideally, managers should plan their finances 5-10 seasons in advance...
each time the rules change - it's like government's intervention..
at the end of the day it's a political question:
do you believe in free market or in socialism?
each time any price go high - people scream and government intervenes |

By : dvd100 | Young players | 10:02 07/07 2008 |
| I do not see what all the fuss about not beeing able to sell off young players straight away.
I usually buy between 1-4 youngsters a season, then train them for 1-2 seasons before I sell them. This gives me more money, and for me its a lot more fun watching them grow in stats. Furthermore, as I see them grow my team also gets better.
So I think its a good rule to limit sell offs of young players. It makes the game more realistic. Do you ever see any of the really good teams, or any teams for that matter, buy young player just to sell them in a couple of days?
Totally rubbish, I suport this rule. Buy and train your young players propper before you sell them.... |

If you do this the rich teams buy all 17 good Quality players,because they can sell them again and nothing change.
We have to learn to use the team whom we have, be in players or in cash. All we want the best players and all we want to be very rich but if we will be able to buy and to sell in the same season, the most poor clubs are not going to have hypotheses any, it is my opinion. |

|
By : Mr Gallina | Paulo6969 | 02:15 08/07 2008 |
| Im not saying this just because i buy many youths by myself, and no i have more players in an older age than my two 29y olds.
Paulo, let me tell u that all good/ rich teams started by this, bying training and selling, and now they stand against us about this.
This way it makes it pretty hard for the new teams to grow.
Again ur wrong, i have not bought any creds at all, i have done cred deals plus the
15 free creds i get every season. I have not trained my youths so good either, playing about 170 friendlies per season.
Im succesful, u shouldnt tell me that im not, i have a young team and I have many choices.
I can train my youths to be excellent players , or i can become rich if i want.
With all my young talents i cant know for sure that all of them will be great players. Those who perform good and show their talent, i will keep, the rest i need to sell. That how i can get a "good" team.
Seems like ur just thinkin about Q, but if u dont think about Q, u will understand that u shouldnt say that other young teams are just waste of money and are unsuccessful.
I can tell u straight that my team has much more potential than urs and im sure every exprerienced manager would agree about that.
I dont like to boast about my team or somethin but its not nice to be called unsuccessful, at least not after all the hard work and my activity on ML.
Im actiually very proud of my team and are happy with my results, so dont come here telling me that "i now realize that i have handled things bad"! |

| *The fortune-tax has been increased from 1 % to 2 %. This only applies to any amounts above 100.000.000 $ and will only affect the richest teams.
I think that this fortune taxe should be increased for bigger amounts , like taxes .
Keep 1% for amount >100 mil
2% for higher that 300 mil
and 3 % for higher that 500mil
It's just a example
*A player can only be bought (or sold) once per season
I guess it's Ok if you count out teamless . First buy don't count
* The max-income from Friendlies has been reduced from 300.000 to 250.000,
maybe some division difference ?
Like div 1 300 000 , div 2 - 275 , div 3 -250 etc ...
* Credit-donations have been recoded.
i can live with that . But i think that 200 with 20 was very good to . |

i belive this gives more creation to the game and a manger can have things looking the way they like best i hope u get too read this spinner as i think it wud be very good |

| I'm for these changes. Every change that makes the game more realistic is a good change. However, the max 250 friendlies is just about as far out it can get. I understand the need for earnings for the developers of the game, but there really should be another way to do this, instead of 250 friendlies you should be able to do more training for some extra credits. At least that would be a bit more realistic methinks... Just my .02 |

| i think that player sold / bought thing is a great idea because it's like a "deadline" and some teams have been buying players and then fast resell them this stinks |

| Could the new restrictions be applied only to teams over a certain net worth? So for example, if the value of a team is based on transfer value of current sqaud plus cash is over 1000m, they pay higher taxes, can only earn up to 250k for a friendly and cannot sell the players in the same season as buying them.
Teams with lower net worth would then be allowed to do all these things until the point they reach the 1000m mark. |

| * A player can only be bought (or sold) once per season - this is good !
A team can donate up to 100 credits in total - this is not so good !
Well, I've been on vacation - this is good!
* The max-income from Friendlies has been reduced from 300.000 to 250.000 - this is bad !
focus on improving balance and the fairness of the game - this i9s good ! |

that it's good just for big team who have money, a small team remain small...
Credit-donations

and taxes
