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?

My point was pretty much what ebustelo said
One thing is to give some mystery to the News, and other is to write ambiguously and leading people to wrong conclusions. You have to think that the News are written for a very wide audience, including all ages and many different languages. So traslating this "mystery" to other languages is not an easy task, and LAs have often to "interpret" and "explain" more than "traslate" with the consequent risk of misunderstanding the actual meaning.

I don´t think this game should give advantage to english speaking users who are able to "read between lines", or to frequent users of the general english forum. News are for everybody and they should be concise, clear and self-explanatory. Then we have the forum to discuss about technical details.

That's my opinion, of course.

the thing that you considered it as a knock against your translation is your choice and it is telling. Last time I checked personal attacks were not allowed on forums so please behave accordingly.

Oh, I am sorry for having analysed your post in a wrong way; next time I will stick to literary translation.

It doesnt really matter whether we call it "new system" or "ad hoc release", does it?

I know it is not designed to help (not me, but) NT managers save potential NT players but it is designed so as to put bot players on the TL. And if it does not work, what is the use of it? If it is meant to have only psychological effect, then after one week when managers puzzle it out the prices will go through the roof and even higher than the last time. I still dont get the sense of it.
