i agree

yesterday, the boxscore was on time, and today training was on time. So i really couldn't care less about a news post

Yesterday, the boxscore was late, and today training was late. So I really care about a news post that tells me more than that the training will always be on time now...

sorry to hear that. It surprises me because, in Romania everything was on time. Was there a major delay?

The lack of communication between BBs and the community has been always a problem since the beginning, the big difference is that at that time the game was completey new, today there isn't anymore the "pleasure" to discover something and this problem seems much bigger.

Personally I agree about the way to work of BBs if they are really work to try to reduce as much as they can the bugs and I don't want to get new things until those that we are here don't work well. The new tactics seem not work well, SB and JR have a low impact on the match comparing to their impact on the salary, there is too much random in the players drafted and in the economy in general. One thing that is worst is the economy... Till now there was a sense in training one player, today it seems not and this is not good above all for the teams in the lower divisions that cannot take any advantage and for this reason it's more difficult for them to be competitive.

Opinion contradicted by facts just by looking down at the lower leagues.

Last game of the final :

Italy, III.15 (I have chosen this league because you won it season 14.)
S.18 : (42638667)
S.14 : (29422457)
S.10 : (17830346)

Similar ratings.

Italy, IV.1 (at random)
S.18 : (42638686)
S.14 : (29422477)
S.10 : (17830367)

Ratings greatly improved between 10 (before the market crash) and 14 (after).

Italy, V.1 (at random)
S.18 : (42639318)
S.14 : (29423119)
S.10 : (17831432)

Huge improvement in the ratings from 14 to 18.

Look down the leagues and see if I was lucky or if it is a verifiable trend.

This is the problem when talking about the economy. It's difficult for us to have all the information at hand while BBs can probably easily extract this kind of stats (average skill levels in leagues) and try to act accordingly.
Ned, you are still thinking the old way on how to improve your team.

You guys are kinda right, but what ned is saying is something slightly different, I think.

The problem is that if you pick a very good player in the draft you can make, say, 1M. I have seen players going even to 3M.
If you train this player for 2 seasons, you won't sell him for 2M (that was the old school), but you will sell him probably for the same 1M or a bit more. Even if you keep training him, the price won't be so high and won't repay your efforts.
I'm thinking about an old U21 italian player, when he was 18 he had an offer from a chinese for 2M. The italian manager refused. After 3 seasons of hard training he joined italian U21, after another season of training he got on the TL (he was going for 22yo) and got sold for 2.5M. That's it.

tl;dr it's better to have a good pick and sell him than training him hard and then selling him.
