I must say I like this idea. It will definitely remove disadvantage of being all the time online and eliminate profi-traders.

The only difference is the money above. I would suggest to make +5% or 10% of the second highest price unless the highest price is not above this add-on.

well, I belive it was suggested at least one time before. At least in the beta, but it never got approved. And there is a reason behind it. The current system as it is was choosen, because financial strong teams shouldn´t have an advantage to get better players then active players. I think it is a good system as it is though the system you suggest could lead to even higher prizes.

I dont think so. It will increase prices on market, as more rich teams will be able to compete, which means they will very quickly run out of money.
I dont think current status give advantage for poor teams, it gives just andvantage to teams who can be all the time on net(so students or Pete). Because at the moment rich team have enough time for bid wars, he can beat everyone and there is no advantage for poor team at all.
Still we are guessing untill some simulation is made.
On the other hand it is damaging poor teams when they want sell draft player and they got lower price.

I feel this will increase competitivness on transfer market, which is good and will help the game, because the market won't be limited to players online!!! but open for all of them.

I don't think it is just people who are online all the time that are at the advantage with the current system. It also depends on what time zone you are in. You have people competing around the world here. Half are sleeping while half are awake. In any case, it benefits those are willing to do what they can to get online.

Which is not fair and limiting the competion.
Indeed I hate it, because I cant buy, thanks to that, any good player. Simply I dont have enough time to be online.

Agreed, I've missed out on several players due to not being online, and not being able to bid what I would offer the player when I am online.... If I value a player at 2m, why can I not bid 2m at any time, why do have to wait until someone else has already offered 1.33m?

Currently I have to resort to pushing bids as high as possible as soon as possible, but that doesn't work if there is nobody to bid against who is also pushing it up.

Oh boy - then find somebody who trusts you and ask him to bid the player up together - in just a minute you have him at 20 Mill

That involves planning, cooperation, and communication....

What do you thin about this idea? If 10,20,... managers bid on a player, than you can bid every prize you want without any limits.

The main reason for the limits was, that you could trade crap for much money to a frind of you (cheating). If different managers bid on a player, than the player can't be so bad.
