By all means, train your youth!

If you have holes to fill right now, surf the market.

Keep your good players? Groundbreaking.

I'm also hoarding young players with high teamwork right now. By my estimate, their value will rise approximately 5000% untrained over the next 3 years. If they are trained there is no doubt in my mind that they could go for 10000% of what I bought them for.

Players that continue to build up their stadiums will soon corner the player market because of their huge and useless profits after upgrading everything (should happen as soon as the end of next season). After that, the only thing to spend money on will be players. Likely, these teams will be bidding upwards of $250k on every player. Look for the average roster size to nearly double by the end of next season as well as managers will be able to support huge numbers with their ridiculous ticket sales. This can obviously be controlled by a roster cap but I don't see that coming anytime soon.

What I'm saying is that GI will undergo retarded inflation likely starting at the end of next season. In times of severe inflation, the product is worth tons more than the money. This is why I'm buying all my product now

A roster with over 200 players on it could be worth nearly 60 MILLION dollars 3 seasons from now.

which is right.

I wish this stuff was written down somewhere!

Well, I'm glad I knew that before my players started randomly getting cut. Just curious but what happens when you go over that roster cap?

Also, is there a salary cap? It would allow the game to stay balanced once the inflation starts. It'd be hard to put in place if you don't know where salaries will be in the future but it would be a good idea to implement eventually.

I actually thought up a way to end inflation for sure when paired with a salary cap. Rather than having people bid on players with random money, you could have them bid on how much to pay them. I'm not sure how you would compensate the manager selling the player (likely using a portion of the winning wage) but having people bid on wages (contracts) would surely keep prices within a reasonable range.

It'd be an interesting thought, unless ofcourse you guys don't want to be too much like the NFL again.
