If a manager plays the game well and have invested time and money in this game then what is the wrong thing in that??

I dont think you'll say that its not good for others as real madrid sign all the top players.

As for the rest of us, we can continue running 85%+ GB searches and coming back with nothing, whilst a few managers seem to always get the results.

Haha.. I've been waiting to see when this would come up again. There is a valid point to be made between high progressed star junior auctions (which cost 50gbs) and spending GBs on 90+ prog junior searches and getting no hits back. Why even have the option available then to search.

+1 for this suggestion.
if we want more online players and want to get rid of the frustrating bots, we must give some 1 time offers to the lower div players. specially to div 5-7. if we dont want them to leave the game, it can be done.

As far as inflation control goes, this is just merely a by-product.


10 - 15 Billion is literally nothing in this game. Not compared to the amount of money being continuously pumped in.

Also, it is the CF, and a few other positions that'll go for amounts higher than a Billion.

Whilst many other positions will be cheaper, it will still be out of the price range of most manager. e.g. 450 Million for a 14 year old Junior. Many Division 3 managers couldn't even afford this.

Whilst a dozen or so managers can afford this, all this does is take some money away from a manager that already makes a lot of money, and hands them one of the best players in the game.

The managers at the top of this game know full well that money isn't important - Rare and high prog players are.

In essence, this game is just giving away the likes of Gran Bud and Culea what they need to stay truly dominant.

As for the rest of us, we can continue running 85%+ GB searches and coming back with nothing, whilst a few managers seem to always get the results.

P.S. As for the whole 'inflation' thing. I think I wrote up an entire thesis on this issue. None/Very little of it has been disagreed with by anyone who has studied economics. So as for the inflation issue, maybe people should re-read it before repeatedly arguing that such and such decision is 'good for the game' because it reduces inflation.

A sensible response. Thank you.

And as for your idea itself,

It doesn't have to be 99 prog players for the lower division clubs. It could be 90 and 95 prog players.

I don't think the idea in itself is amazing/bad, but one thing is for certain:

Something that only benefits 5 - 10 managers should not be specifically introduced by the Developers.

Another option could have been to issue the players by highest first bid. That way the obvious managers would be forced to think twice about how much they could bid.

A further option could have been to mix the progressions of the players sold - Anywhere between 90 - 99% without revealing the actual amount.

But yet an even BETTER option, could have been for the developers to have listened to the many people who disagreed with the sale of these players at the beginning of this season when they first announced the idea.

But hey, what do I know? I only play this game.

I think the inflation problem is overstated, but that's a different discussion.


no it's not when i joined just over a year ago top players cost 20-30m. Now they are selling for 1000m+

these auctions will take out 10-15 billion out of the game.


That's price inflation. That problem will not be fixed by drawing money out of the game, because striker manager price inflation is not driven primarily by money supply. But again, that's a different discussion. If the point of this sale is really to contract the money supply, then it is misguided and it will fail. The most direct route to decreasing the money supply is taxes. And, as far as I know, the fiscal @s already have the power to tax big spenders. This player give away to already-rich teams will actually increase money supply in the medium to long run, because the super star players are likely to increase the winning teams' ticket and sponsorship revenue.

Yes, I basically agree with all of this.

I remember certain @'s ( which wont be mentioned at this time) having a different view of this before it all went to hell.... I myself had the same thoughts and convictions and I still stand by them, Time, money , patience.

This is a good idea having star auctions, but only when implemented along side other economical justifications that help solve the overgrowing unbalanced nature that continues in the game.

Having divisional star auctions.. not so good. Your talking market caps on players and not allowing the inter-selling between divisions and that messes with the infrastructure of the game and I can see why no developer would want to do that right now. Maybe in the future with changes this could be accommodating, but right now I dont see it as a fix for anything if your talking the economics of SM.
