Inflation is the increase in the general prices in an economy. And yes, it has to do with supply-demand dinamics and also with monetary mass.

What you refer to as 'supply and demand dynamics' may cause consumers to switch from one type of good to another, thus increasing the demand in one market, and contracting the demand in another one, and causing a price change.

This, however, is not inflation, it's a change in the real economy (e.g., it has to do with production and consumption, not with nominal change in prices).

If the cost of the energy increase due to(many reasons can be queted here), affecting the prices of virtually all the goods that use energy in his production, wich is not a small share of the total products. This will increase the prices mostly all over the board. I could start showing you more real economy changes like a hard drought who will increasy the price of many food products, etc.

This will sure increase mostly (if not all) the prices in the economy. This is called inflation.

So, yes, inflation can be produced by changes in real economy and not only due to the expansion of the monetary mass.

[message=I think that the ideia of the increase of salaries is a bad idea, the first division teams will loose some money yes.

But i think that the lower league teams like me, wont have a chance when it comes to improve our teams.


edit: just what Somebody Important said.]




I disagree. It depends on how you manage your team. If you think about it for a second you will realize that in order to build a successful franchise you have to start with the "unsexy" parts of it. For buzzerbeater that is arena expansion, having homegrown players to maximize merchandise. You cant just go out and buy the best players right away. So if your income is increasing more and more then you can afford those better players and keep them on your roster without worrying about going bankrupt. Its a progressive franchise strategy.

Also, and one of the GM's can comment on this if they wish, but i think the way that they are insuring or trying to make sure the inflation doesnt go crazy in the future is the new merchandising and arena structure. Some of those top level teams, even the highest divisions in each country, are having to sell off arena seats because they cant put butts in them because of the new TV deal. Its going to limit, or at the very least hold in check, the amount of money those top level teams make so they aren't continually outbidding smaller teams and driving up prices.


(how do you quote somebody's previous message so it appears in a box like some of the previous messages? haha i can't figure it out)

couse i haven´t read what he said.

I still think that the increase of salaries is a bad idea.

Ok sweet thanks!

Really, now can happen many thinks about, the real question have to be focus at the end of the season. With the money that the winners teams receive, when they go to the top league, What players they will have to buy to competitive? who is watching this?

Now you need twice money to buy what you bought last season. Will be bis diference beetwen teams went to top league than the teams will go this season.

You buy at twice it's price... you sell at twice his price...

easy

Except that when you promote you are the underdog, and the bonus you recieve to catch up with the other teams suddenly have becomme reduced to half what it was worth before, relative to the market. I think this was the point of the previous message(?).

On a side note I don't think the prices would stay this high forever, but if they do, the promotion price should be revised. (even if it means more money into the economy). No, wait, I'm not sure about this one...

so if you add more money to the game and you don't expect prices becoming higher?

7 weeks until the final of the seasson... 7 weeks for the transfermarket to slow ...

i see no point into put more money into the game even if it means this season promotes are recibing a little less money compared to trnsferlist pries... but hell the promotion prices are relately news to the game... few seasons ago they weren't and all the teams promoted before never seem a dime for theis promotions...

Don't think on toda think on tomorrow and if this is a 1 season theme don't made changes that will efect longer than that. By the way.

Not only player have higher prices, go to see coach lvl 6 or 7 ...

Its the cup money that makes no sense now.... when allstar week comes about then you effectively have 1 week of earning precious little... as the average team salary increases it belittles the efforts of anyone in the cup...

The rating on the cup run in the fan survey might have as much financial impact as the actual cup bonus. It's a pretty small piece of the revenue pie for higher division teams, but you also get to tie the majority of games early on.

Few little things add up I guess.
