Assunto: I.1

*and

Maybe I meant to say there was too much money at the top in this game

I haven't won anything in a while. I have a maxed stadium and four facilities under construction. 100M in the bank and nothing to spend it on. This should be so much harder.

Will Shipp ever play a game? We seem to have quite a few good goalies.

NO it shouldnt--- Buy some players. Im 80 mill in debt (loan) and dont have facilities maxed or stadium yet.

shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Dunno--- Boilermakers backup is almost better then everyone else but he has no chem or exp... I doubt it. What are your plans with him?

I'm in debt all the time but that's how you can improve your facilities (important for the future
of team),spent all money to improving,don't keep them ....

I'll be working on Spicer's experience more this season. With Spicer taking Cheney's spot on the NT, I'll be giving Spicer the majority of competitive starts.

Spicer look's OK still young only 20 not bad 5/6
definitely one of our best goalkeeper for the future

Yeah. It's been a pet peeve of mine for quite a long time. Top teams make way too much money. I haven't been in an Intl Cup the last couple of seasons and I'm making well over 30M each week. Obryantj and divoch must be around 50M. Probably more. It's way too easy to stay on top in PPM. It's stupid.

That combined with the market loopholes that divoch has exploited are killing the game.

My starter Roman Cernohorsky just dropped to 3/6, so Shipp will be playing more this season and take over next. Hopefully. Shipp is already the better goalie by a few OR, but only has a quarter of the experience.

Yay back on winning streak.

Ahhh. I want to earn that much!!!! I dont even earn 10M.

what loophole???

Here's the loopholes. They really only work if you start in the beginning. You have to have better facilities than most everyone else so your train & sells are training better than most. The players you're selling have to be better than what most people have to get the big bucks. So this isn't even a way for new players to make up ground on the top players.

No penalty for having a lot of staff like we have for players. So you can have 40-50-60 staff and there's no extra expenses like we have for having more than 30 players. I don't know if divoch made a profit from his staff sales because salaries are so high, but he certainly sold an insane amount. And he kept doing it for several seasons. So I am assuming he's making some profit in the deal.

The big one is the penalty for player/staff sales stops at 50%. So they're basically punishing the normal players who are trying to play realistically, and encouraging the day traders when they say they're doing the opposite. If they really wanted to discourage day trading, they would make that penalty for selling players increase more and more instead of just +2% each player. And of course it would have to go past 50%. He'll, I'd make it go past 100%.

The 50% hurts, but it really just means day traders have to sell even more players. It's ridiculous seeing someone sell 30-40 players each season.

Divoch's player/staff sales by season-
16/10
23/10
33/17
40/65
33/70
28/49
6/4 (wonder what happened?)
41/53

That's just stupid. He's over 2.5 BILLION in player sales, and 735M in staff sales. I asked vlady to fix the loopholes early on, but he insisted it wasn't necessary. I don't think PPM understand the problems facing smaller countries. All it takes is one person willing to abuse the system. A system that could easily be fixed and no one would even complain about the changes. We'll be paying for that pretty soon, if it hasn't already started.

but that is what i have been saying all the time.
We, division 3 players will never be able to catch up
1. We make less money than D1. I make less than $10M and it has been posted here $30 or more
2. We dont have built up facilities and not earning enough to build it fast, so even if we pull a great player, we wont be able to train him fast enough to beat a mediocre/good D1 player

so.. the only way is to have D1 much less chances to pull top prospects and have D3/4 pull most of the prospects. And this also tied to the size of the team to prevent D1/D2 relegate just to get top players.

the goal would be to have D3/D4 the ones that pulls and sell to D1/D2 not the other way around where D1 makes tons and tons of more money.

and if D1 want to continue competitive will have to go to lower divisions and buy players by even message managers to put in the market for a sell.

the new thing that managers can set price helps that a LOT

just need to get the best prospects on lower divisions/teams.

Go to Hockey and look at Montana Miners.... Him and I started in season 3. He is in D1 for hockey. It can happen. You have to be smart with your players, etc.

I made a mistake by losing on purpose form D2 and lost a lot of money, but how cares. I lost any interest in Hockey.
