You threatened action...... but will you follow through or was it just a way of stirring up interest in other sales......

so let me get this straight, selling players and making money off the sales is bad now? I wouldnt pay half of those prices yet youre complaining? You sold a 6 cons player for over a mil you should be throwing a party.

I actually wondered the same thing!

Very discrete marketing tactic....

Yea I am as baffled as you are. I am not sure what the game is here...

I tried to sell a 20/20, 25 year old LB last week and couldn't get a sniff at 500k.

Anyone care to enlighten us small minded folk who don't have time for conspiracy theories?

I wouldn't have paid most !!
And you think that THAT player was the most outrageous price paid ??!!

I said "This is getting fucking ridiculous" and I stand by it ..... what people are currently paying for players is to me complete fucking madness.

Oh and when making money comes directly on the back of the actions a known cheat ? Then yeah m8 that's nothing that I want a part of. Or am I now meant to change my opinion about that cheat when their actions make my team money ?

I may be wrong in this as I don't really spend a lot of time trying to find the cheaters anymore, but I don't think any cheaters have ever made it to the Iron Bowl have they?

My theory is that if they have to cheat, they don't know the game well enough and/or don't have the patience to build a truly successful team. They may make some noise here and there, but don't have what it takes to really be a top team. And to me, that's what it's all about.

Don't get me wrong, if I see some funny transfers, I will report them, but I'm not going to get concerned about it anymore. If the admins do something about it, great. If they don't, I still feel that it won't be long before those cheaters are out of the game permanently anyway.

Obviously, opinions may differ, and that doesn't make them wrong. This is just my opinion on the matter. Maybe I'm just too old to get too worked up on something like that anymore.

As a top 5 north american team i just don't seem to understand the issue. I have been selling off starting national team players for pennies compared to what you just got. i dont pay enough attention to this game to sniff out cheaters but at this point who really cares what other teams are up to this game is dying regardless. considering i am on my way to bankruptcy in the near future it looks like youre not happy to make money selling players, if i was you i would be ecstatic you practically made my entire bank account in one selloff.

There are definately some teams that have closer bonds than 'it's my brother playing on same ip..', but are they getting an edge? Maybe... But none of the teams that have been called out in this thread or any of the other threads look to me like teams using 2+ million a week on salaries and selling low talented players to farm teams for millions.

If the cheaters are shuffling decent players, other coaches will get into the act and start bidding. And if a 2 star player gets sold for a large amount, we can all report it.

But I think that the lack of enforcement from the admins on the rules they have made themselves is what's frustrating (some of) us.
