My idea is that the gap between what you could have in team salaries and what you earn is quite big. It would take me a very long time to get enough money to buy players so that I would increase my salary cost with $100k unless I bought a wage monster which are not likely to be a better solution than three 30-40k players. I have a team in my division with a $150k/week player but I very much doubt that he in combination with two $10 players will do better than 3 $40k players and the later you need much money to get. Not cheap to buy the $150k player either of course ...

Also with large arenas, my arena is over 28k and I earn more than 50k additional income per match. Maybe for some arenas about 40k is attendance income equal to last season. But how many team had arena over 30k ... 50 teams... 100 teams? In last formula these teams had to decrease for example bleachers ticket price to $12 to sold out. Now everybody can set the price to $18 or $20 and the attendance is always about the same. I really like old formula more even if new one is more advantegous for me.

I remember JUICEPATS somewhere said it was never going to return; but it did; it took courage to take that action. IMO it was a necesssary move due to the irrational buyers/sellers market; and prompt action was required. With 50000 users; always some actions taken are not perfect timed in view to few users; thats life.


You're right, I did - and I had no idea this was happening until I read the News 2 hours ago.

Given the reasoning, it's a sound move to make.

I recently sold a player but also have a pretty signficant bid in progress... My net will probably be a loss from this market inflation but that's besides the point. I needed to make a move if I wanted to stay in Canada's top division this season and the move needed to be sooner rather than later.

It was pretty apparent to me that something needed to be done as spending was just getting out of control and no end was in sight. I was actually expecting the BBs to do something and I definitely think it was the right thing to do.

Is there any use accepting players into NT whose teams are going to bot this Monday or they will be placed on TL anyway?

Its like dating a girl; the news is not too revealing and mysterious. Thats what makes it interesting for me to find things out. If its an open book and too much revealing close to being naked. Than you are just too simple and boring for me...(unless your name is Scarlett Johansson). Seriously; I dont want the news to be like this: GUARDS train JS; Centers train rebounding; ARENA is CAPPED so dont built to much; dont buy staff too high, 3 million is too much.

I agree; the message has been set in a way its dubious or cryptic. But not too much cryptic that you wont understand what in between the lines. It is indeed a pain to translate though..

Respect for the LA.

Disagree. LAs are there for translating* not providiong their analysis /guess of new changes.

*source: check the thread with numbers in skills issue (in chinese language version)

You speak as someone who doesnt know what translation is about. And I bet you dont!

Given there are no clear guidelines on how and when FAs will be introduced, your only 100% guarantee is to recruit all players you want saved.


Then the new system is practically useless, isnt it?
