I think perhaps the point is trying to win every year and being able to successfully do that is much harder now, which does not seem like a bad thing. You might have to plan for a few seasons before you can make a successful championship run AND be able to continue forward without going bankrupt.

I dont see the dwindling prices as much of an issue, since it seems all prices are down. Sure your top guy wont net 8million for you anymore, but if he nets 5million and every other price is down, the relative value you gain should still be close to the same.

I think that the main problem is that 1$ doesn't worth the same for all,because the effort that you have to put in to the game to gain it is very different between your league and your country and another league and country

Yet I still had decent success even with the lowest team payroll in the league. (even made it to the finals both season 11 & 12) So while that may not be possible in higher divisions, can you still make a decent profit & while say finishing 3rd or 4th place? Or simply not possible?

in germany "two" low budgets team calculated, that the weekly income without them was -50k in the first division, with decent cup runs it is a +/- 0 thing for them during the regular season but in the off season we loose lot of money ;)

I have a quite cheap rooster depending on salary and make still 10-80k depending on success + Cup profit each week, and i plan with the semifinals in my division so i won't loose money in the off season(but i believe i am not the only one with this plan *gg)
So it is possible, BUT my players are pretty expensiv when i buy them, so i loose lot of my money through "aging" so it isn't necessary the best economical way.

In terms of economy and pricing, where we are headed doesnt seem like a bad direction to me, and while there may be stagnation now, it seems that planning out a 2-3 season block carefully can really help your team move up. You can still train and sell for value, just like everyone else you are competing with.

You are not the only one that can plan for the future

Can't agree, if you see what direction has taken the game during this last two seasons, the best planning its to do good movements in short term.

I never said I was. Simply stating that ive seen other teams plan, and successfully improve their team over the last 2-3 seasons, so im inclined to think this could continue. I never mentioned my team even once.

Neither do I

In English grammar, generic you or indefinite you is the use of the pronoun you to refer to an unspecified person

I also believe this scenario is good. When there is a certain cap on how much money you can make you create a competitive enviroment where every team can challenge the best one. It's just matter of time because top teams won't get any more better(they will but at a very slow pace and in equilibrium they simply won't because of salary restriction) and teams chasing them will get better really fast if prices are getting down.

Just think about the fixes prices for cup and promotion. If prices are going down the relative value of those prizes goes up.

Sure, there will be differences between competitive first divs and less competitive ones, but the situation is shared among all your other rivals. And again, sometime those teams will reach competitive salaries just like any other established first div.
The only ones who could really blame for this are B3 participants wich are a minority.
