I once brought up something of the sort....a tax, if you will. I was practically flogged for even suggesting it.Lowood Mohicans wrote:So, here's a thought. Should we limit the credits a club can hold? Would the game benefit if there was a maximum amount of credits a club could hold, eg 500 million. They'd have to invest in something. Also, give newer clubs something to aim for. I think 500 million is sufficient to buy a winning team. And, we need clubs to actively participate.
I don`t even play with the intent on moving up anymore. I muddle around between Divisions 2 and 3, mostly just to pass time. Good trains is probably the biggest joy I get out of the game, and when I get in a bad run, I always tell myself my time here is winding down. But I`ve managed to stick it out for 12 or 13 years now. I simply refuse to buy elders, and when you look at a majority of the best teams, they are all stocked with 31-35 year olds. I commend the managers that can compete with 28 and 29 year olds. They are truly the best managers in the game. Or the wealthiest. And that`s a place I will never be.Lowood Mohicans wrote:I've played tgame since 2013, and enjoyed it. Not so many players now, and less banter/posts. It was always an aim to win a senior trophy, and I've recently achieved my first senior league win. I remember a club, think it was Arsenal (Finto?) - apologies if I'm mistaken - saying 500 million was minimum requirement for a fighting fun.
I just think there is a big task in front of new clubs. But, 500 million is also an achievable target. I'd be happy to work within that parameter.
I also won the senior German Cup once too. With a Div.2 team. Probably my best highlight in my time here, as well.Lowood Mohicans wrote:I remember winning my first senior trophy - German Cup.

If there are too many obstacles in the way we'll lose the the newbies too soon.
Your comment about sticking it out is a good summation. I don't think success should be handed on a plate. Players should have to build their way to success. But, if we make it too difficult to get somewhere then we'll lose numbers. And, personally I think it'd be good if there was a limit on spending resources - a financial fair play of some sort.Dynamo Groby wrote:Been here a while, honestly coming to the conclusion that it's a tough and near impossible mountain to climb to compete at the upper levels. Admittedly under the constraints I operate under, even with a lot of credits it'd be tough.
I accept my level is probably several notches below the top teams, I don't have the time and resources and knowledge of the transfer market to compete. I've not won a top division title yet, but we've managed a few cup wins. Every now and then I develop a half decent crop of Finnish youths and then I can build a semi-decent senior side from them, buying in a few to add to it to have a tilt at being up there at the top division table for a few seasons.
My joy comes from getting my Finnish side up there, even for a little while. I'm not sure that if I was a new manager now, with a fresh start, that I'd stick it out to get to where I am now, never mind reaching the upper levels.
I recently came close to a quadruple. I won a league title, domestic cup, VMan World Cup, and lost in the final of the Super Cup. I wasn't expecting it, couldn't have imagined it, but was undoubtedly the highlight of my VMan journey to date. And, the team I did it with cost considerably less than 500 million.The Wrecking Crew wrote:I also won the senior German Cup once too. With a Div.2 team.
