i agree on the OD but he can definitley work at the D. V and D. IV levels. and my PG's and SG's passing make up for it. (PG:10 and will end up at 13-14 by the time hes done training. SG: 10)
and for the price i couldnt resist.
but what do you mean by the JS being too high?

Players like this underperform their salary. He'll help you promote out of D.5 though.

So, we have understood your opinion about JS.

The thread, however, is about the market, even if the person starting it maybe posted an unbalanced player. I also think that the market is particularly low, and there is another thread that emphatically talks about rescuing the game... what do you think about this point?

Someone is suggesting that prices of players will go somewhere close to 10 times the player salary...

Take these two players:


Jump Shot: wondrous Jump Range: proficient
Outside Def.: strong Handling: prolific
Driving: proficient Passing: pitiful
Inside Shot: average Inside Def.: average
Rebounding: awful Shot Blocking: atrocious
Stamina: inept Free Throw: prolific

and


Jump Shot: prominent Jump Range: proficient
Outside Def.: prolific Handling: prolific
Driving: proficient Passing: strong
Inside Shot: average Inside Def.: average
Rebounding: mediocre Shot Blocking: atrocious
Stamina: respectable Free Throw: prolific

Their salaries would be approximately equal, but the second one will vastly outperform the first player. The second player would sell for twice the price of the first one as well. The problem lies in poor training. Nothing wrong with the market.

The market is nothing more than a reflection of the users' willingness to pay x amount for y player. If 187k buys that guy, then that is where the market is at. If managers are hoping to sell players for 4 and 5 million these days, they are being foolish, in my opinion. If you can't sell high, at least you can buy low.

Ok, for you everything is fine, as usual.

Dude, what do you want me to say, or do? Nash my teeth, whine like a baby, call people names, threaten to give up, etc? That's not constructive at all. I am just being pragmatic. Seriously, if you haven't been able to see that the market has been headed in this direction, then you have to open your eyes a bit more. Players are finally starting to reach maturity, meaning we have 30-34 year old players with great skills flooding the market. At present there are 179 players over 30 with salaries of more than 50k on the TL. In season 7 there were 0. Is that so difficult to understand? There are also the 26-30 year old players who have been trained on long-term plans, and they are amazing also. At present there are 295 26-29 year olds on the market with salaries over 70k. 8-10 seasons ago, when those players were beginning their training, their managers were paying 4-7 million for guys with triple wondrous skills. In season 7 those triple wondrous guys were jaw-droppingly good. Now they have TPEs of 500k-800k.
So you either have to accept that the value of a triple wondrous player isn't what it was several seasons ago, or not. It's completely up to you. I was just giving my opinion of where the market is. I don't have or make enough money to improve my team on the TL, so I am training players for my team, like I have basically always done.
