Asunto: »[info]Dev Diary #82: Automatic release of NT-players from
While everybody can see that the player prices increase every season, I must say I expected a more exciting solution. A solution that took into account more of the problems Sokker is facing.
One of these more exciting solutions could be the introduction of team medical specialist. This team could consist of:
- Doctors: lowering the chance of players gettings injured
- Physiotherapists: speed up the recovery time.
And then maybe the trainees and non-trainees both need their own doctor and physio. This way, there is also a strategic choice involved. Those managers that envision long term growth don't need an doctor for their non-trainees, so they save costs.
This idea has a number of benefits:
1. Sucks money out of the game, so battling inflation
2. Reduces injury time
3. Extra strategic choice
4. An extra oppurtunity for small/new teams to save money and thus grow faster.

What a great way to kill off smaller countries. So when are we getting revenue equalisation for those of us in smaller countries. I swear we’re playing a completely different game to the rest. You’ve just fired another dagger.
No chance for any of us to now grow our club to the level that those in higher user countries can (before it was difficult now it’s going to be impossible). We already get handicapped in sponsorship and in gate revenue so we already struggled. I may have to re-evaluate whether I can maintain my current coach list as I was basically just breaking even with what I had (which wasn’t much other than I’d recently picked up an unearthly coach to take advantage of the new training system flexibility. That’s probably gone now). I’ll give it a season and see if I can manage still.
On top of that with player wages going up you can kiss goodbye to training your way up too because at some point those players wages will become too much as well to hold onto.
I hope I’m wrong but I often think whoever is doing the analysis is focussed around the top countries and not looking at the flow on effects. May be better globally due to a larger percentage of users from bigger user bases but you’re not going to have a global game shortly. If I’m wrong I’ll be the first to say so too.

Yeah, so I'm a small team with no stadium and am barely treading water financially thanks to coach costs (a proper head coach, and 3 solid/vg assistants). So, I'm hoping this isn't going to cripple my ability to keep training my kids.
I can understand HOW there's so much money in the game, it's just not at my club - or anyone else's that's a season or two old.

Yup so many small nations were already struggling with the new financials following the increase from 8 teams to 12 due to often more bots rising to the top level.
This is especially the case in countries where they had 12 or less users. Their sponsorship levels dropped, and they didn't gain much in gate income because not only do you get almost no income from playing bots, but supporter numbers started dropping and therefore total attendance for future matches also dropped.
Despite the 15-33% change being slightly tiered, this change does nothing to take out the biggest problem in the game, which is teams holding on to 100s millions $, which is what actually causes inflation, not the small amounts of week to week that small and new teams have

I will add however, the change to the transfers perspective is a good change.
It takes money completely out of the game, which is what is needed to help with inflation.
It's not going to be game changing and won't fix the problem but that particular change is a step in the right direction, and does not favor big or small country, experienced or new user.
Someone else also suggested a change in percentage of income based on how long they have been with the club. This is also a good idea, and should be something like, resell on day 1, get 20% of the income. And then change by 1% every 3 days. This would mean people are actually buying players they want to play, not hoarding good players to resell at silly high prices, and not just training for random pops to make it seem like the player is better than they are.
Day trading has never been good for this game, and these kind of implementations help reduce this

Everyone says this only when they buy players and someone overbids. Then the bidder is a bad person, hurts the game etc. Nobody complains when they sell a player and they get bids from those same people because that means they earn more.

So you're saying they're a necessary evil?

Wild traders only bid to the point where it's good business to get the player and make money on him fast, so if people get good price it's NOT thanks to traders...
And if they wouldn't bid at all - the price on those cases would be even lower and the seller would get even less. If anything, game would benefit from more traders who outbid each other making sure prices are in line.
No, because they don't drive the price up, if the price reaches the level above normal and goes above, it's because of interest of normal buyers who just want the player. Every time I sell a player or follow a player in TL I see same team names and every time the price goes up, you can see them deleting the player from their list of transfers :-)
More traders wouldn't solve anything because all of them would stop bidding at the time the transfers stops being a good investment for fast sell. Well, it would possibly lower then number of bargains, but that's all it would change.

No, because they don't drive the price up
They certainly do. In each case you bid against one - you both drive the price up. If they wouldn't bid - yeah you'd be lucky about your insane bargain, but on the other end of the trade a user would get even less money. Yeah, they dont overpay, but they draw a bottom line for what a player will go.

There are also other normal buyers who drive the price up from lower regions while the traders just look and wait...
Of course. But there are cases when you go in a bidding war solely against one of them. Without them a market would be more unstable especially as the user count dwindles.

Maximum number of trades and tiered taxation.
What do you think?

Raul, what criteria did you take to increase the salaries of the players? I think you're wrong again. In a league, at most there are 3 to 4 teams that have good stadium revenues, the rest, from regular to poor. You should focus on improving the volatility of partner sentiment, before generating any change in costs. Another mistake is to increase the sales tax to 10%. This was never warned and I think it has an impact on something else, is that it will not be worth training 25-year-olds and hoping to make money in the long term. You're killing everything. I have told you repeatedly but you do not listen, one way to manage inflation is to train more young players, increase supply and therefore lower demand. With the changes of salary increases and sales tax you hurt new teams, or averages that seek to continue growing. The billionaire teams are laughing in those minutes, you don't even tickle them with the changes, hahaha
