Asunto: Questions & Answers

I totally agree with you! Its is actually a big problem in my eyes also.

I still say all of these "cross team+" players should be removed from the game and money returned. The ones on the market should be deleted.

For example,

hockey.powerplaymanager.c...

You're assuming they actually care how these things affect us as managers?

No, that's why I said, "I still say" as opposed to, "Why don't you"

Just keeping it fresh in their minds that there are people that are decidedly unhappy.

I do not agree with u on this one. a newcomer has no chance at this point only with the players that he recives with the team. the lack of talent from his team could be compensated by this tipe of players. if u look at this guy, maybe he spent 3-4 mills on players. yes, there are some cases were the market is used for financial benefits not improving the team, but, in the long run, i trully belive the rule could be actually good.
in your latest blog post you launched the idea that this is the start, the season 5. true, maybe for us. the new guys will never manage to catch us. we, as veteran managers, have the facilities and 90 percent of the big players. also we have the sponsors and the big stadiums, while they get jack s**t. so by having the oportunity to buy a 250 player, maybe getting a good advice from a veteran and train him, will progress much faster then us. still he will not be able to catch the "elite" of the game, but he will have fun playing it...
PS. for the last season i watch over a "young" romanian manager. the lack of money was the biggest problem as he recieved a little over 30 mills from his sponsors - imagine 30 mills agains my 115. with 3 seasons to recover, this type of player would have helped him a lot...

I have nothing against it also, if those players were bought mostly by young teams. What if I buy 10 of them for a 500.000 ? (That would be even nicer....) I mean that wouldn't be so fair ))

as i told before. some transfers aren't fair but i could be helpfull for a newcomer... if he is told what to do

I know you are.
And I hope those players are mainly gone to new teams.

I actually agree with you. The problem is, as Popaji mentioned, it's not the new managers that are buying these guys, it's the people with lots of money and already strong teams.

If it were just the newbies buying them, i would be MORE than happy... as I believe the game needs to help newbies much more than it currently does.

My most recent blog post was "in general" focussed more on my current position as someone who's been here for 4 seasons. I do have an idea for a new post this evening which will be specifically targeted to the new manager

The concern involving singly-advanced attribute players would be reduced somewhat if there wasn't a quality associated with every attribute. Peeps are much more likely to single-advance an attribute and sell if the quality of that single attribute quality is unbalanced in comparison to the rest of the attribute qualities.

As I have suggested before, fee for employing a large number of players should be progressive and now is linear (5% for each player). Also maximum fee for market sales could be raised from 50%. These two changes would not affect "normal" teams, but would stop traders/"one skill farms" to prosper.

Do you think a player should train all attributes the same based on one "AQ" value?

To Mrk1: That is a plan I am strongly contrary to resulting from the fact that I simply like to hold on to a lot of players and do not train them to be sold and do not train them on a singly-advanced attribute. I would prefer not to be penalized more for the true fun I like to have.

To canucks357: It is a concept harboured by the game that this game used as a template, and it was one of the more questionable departures in my opinion as having an quality per attribute increases micromanagement and imbues less clarity in browsing the market for additions.

That would ruin the game completelly.

You have 52 players... why? You surely don't play them all.. so what's the point?
