ARCHIVE / Re: [Gokickoff Update] Changes in the player transfer system (Launch date: 09/09/12)

It's easy for you to say that now Carlos. You have had a 17 month jump and have had the benefit of selling, as you said, all of your players. Fortunately for you, you could sell them and still find players for your team. I was not playing 17 months ago so I can not claim to know what the market was at that time, but what I can say is that the market right now is very unfriendly.
Your right about one this, to get anywhere requires sacrifice. I will say this to you Carlos, now that you are at the top, you seem to have no idea what it is to be starting at the bottom. Sure, you sold all your players seasons ago, go some players and made your way to the top, but I am also sure that being at the top then was not like being at the top now. Those at the top now have already paid their millions. It changes the market because there are people willing to pay more for players.
Your wrong to think that things are the same for players now as they where when you first started. I would like to have had that 17 month head start as well but I'm willing to live with climbing the ladder. I am just pointing out the obvious impact it will have on the smaller and newer clubs. Its simple economics Carlos. 17 months later there is what we like to call inflation.

Seems to me that with the new transfer rules, it makes trading for players much harder especially for clubs that are just starting out. Clubs don't start with the kinds of players that are ready to compete with the high level of competition, the kind of competition that has been developed by experience managers in the gokickoff universe. There are only really two ways to go about becoming competitive. 
One was to sell your best players and replace them with promising youth players. Before, you could find players on the market who had been either disappointing to other players, or were better that the trash already on your team at good prices. With the changes, there is rarely going to be anyone on the market worth any value that will be affordable to new and poorer clubs. 
The other way is to save money forever and get an academy, cross your fingers and hope quality springs from it. That is risky and also is very costly making this a very long and expensive route. Considering most small clubs are making little to no money anyway, its a 2-3 year jump before they can see any returns on their investment. Meanwhile, other clubs are not waiting for you to catch up. 
I could use some explanation about aggression as well. What does aggression affect?
