planning is hard when conditions change frequently and not always as expected.
you brought the example of those who decided to build arena last season and buy now - i'm sure they feel pretty unlucky, expecially if they thought they had a nice plan for their team.
i sold a player last season because i thought i couldn't afford to pay his salary - i suppose it's my fault not to predict that my TV contract and merchandise income would grow so much. anyway, everybody in italy forum was surprised by how much more money for week there was, so maybe is not just me.
and it's not a complaining about how my team is disavantaged or whatever, i'm just sad that i sold a player i could have kept.

Quite the dramatic overreaction by you and Fotocopiator here. Plus you overlook those that would be harmed by inflation, such as those that decided to invest money in an arena last season and then save up to buy a player this season. They now have much less buying power in that instance, when then couldn't have forseen this seasons change in prices.

I don't hear very many in here making up sad stories about them.


If the problem is money that come from arenas resizing it will be a temporary inflation and we don't need new changes!!! if bb want to reintroduce FA mean that this isn't the real problem!!!

your kidding right there going to be cheap to bring down prices to help stop inflation.

this is just a huge mistake and very unfair to those that have allready spent the money as they were given no warning

From the news:

One of the effects of the updated economic rules has been a temporary increase in the amount of money in the game, particularly in one-time payments from arena contraction.
(The global increase in merchandising money under the new rules is approximately in balance with the global increase in salaries this offseason).


I think you forgot for one very very important think. Almost all of team now earns more money for gate receipts than last season. For example my team has maximum last season 555k for a game, now is 606k and I think I'm able to raise it somewhere up to 650k by setting optimal ticket prices. I ask many teams in my countries and it looks all team are able to earn some 20k-30k more than last season with the same arena. If I count over 50k teams playing BB it is about $ 1.000.000.000 - 1.500.000.000 more in game every week (at the start of the season it wasn't so much, because it took some time to set the ticket prices well).
I'm not sure you know about this effect of new attendance formula.
You also mentioned arena destruction, but I can't believe it's in sum more than $ 500M, there are not so many team which have too large arenas.

No, you're wrong with that, FA's will be released to the market, the prices are going to be setted by the same market and are going down every time because money is getting away from the game with them. They're not going to be cheap, actually most of them are going to be more expensive than players who have an owner. With some money away from the game the inflation will be reduced.

but now people will be less reluctant to pay for anyone as they hope for cheaper replacements in the future.

You're getting that increase because you have a top team, people in minor leagues doesn't have that luck... (some of 80% in the game)

I don't think that, people could be done that at the start of the season an didn't do it, maybe because of they needed to. I don't think that necessity disappears now, with still some money in the pockets. If they spent all of the money when they didn't needed to, I think that they made a bad choice and nobody can be complaining for that..

Is not unfair, as well market works as this way.. some people gains some losses.

I am glad you see it as a major change though, because we're trying to pop a bubble built on irrational expectations with a combination of better information, a minor change that looks major, and an indication that if this doesn't work we're willing to make a larger change until it does.


Wow, now you introduced yourself as a great psychologist. I am not sure that is the best how to deal with such problems.

Edit: I know other people with such a power who continuously make changes in order to satisfy only people's minds. And out of your answers I deducted that you are trying more and more to be like those "politicians". I am sorry, BB is a great game but I think you try to make a bad slapstick of it.
