Quick question:

With the new leagues being implemented, once they are full it is quite likely that the difficulty in grabbing a player from the TM is going to get exponentially harder. More teams vying for the players, obviously.

Are there any contingency plans in place to a l t e r the TM system if needed?

Or will it just be a case of focusing on drafting and developing through the academy?

No doubt the TM has been debated well before I arrived here. I think that an eBay style TM might solve the problem if it arises. I can just see that some auctions will never end due to the sheer number of players being in the game!

There will eventually be more players to be sold as well, so more teams bidding on the TM, but there should be enough players to spread around. Also, teams still have a limit as to how high they will (or can) bid on a player. Might be a little more competition on the auctions, but I don't see a problem with that yet. I play a basketball manager game that has 45,000-50,000 people playing (according to the owners), and the auctions don't last too long.

I agree a workable solution for the TM would be a good idea.

Also the SC has become crazy an even slightly tough group could mean a tight game and elimination without even getting beat. It's harder to get out of your SC group than it is to get into the CoC. Surely it should be the other way around

Yeah, I'd like to see the SC post season have 64 or even 96 teams.

Are there enough dates to have more teams in the Supercup playoffs? It's gonna be interesting to see what's gonna happen when and if we get division 4.

I think the only thing which could be done would be to make the wildcard gameday a full playoff gameday.
That would mean, to have 64 teams in the playoffs, instead of 48.

BUT this is not planed as far as I know.

In theory I think it could be possible to squeeze in one more round if you move the bowl to the last Thursday before rollover.

IMHO, Supercup needs to be changed. I'm thinking about

The first 15 game days are Supercup division games, each team plays each other once, the bigger stadium income at match scheduling determines the venue.


part.

When teams are drawn into division, schedule should be made according to rating so that top team plays vs. 2nd team at home, vs. 3rd team away, 4th at home and so on, using Berger tables or any other algorithm.

If things stay the same, middle-tier teams, the ones you want to stay, are gonna suffer the most. Last season there were 6-7 SC games in which they could earn 3+ million. Now they will only have 3-4 games, that's loss of about 10 million while nothing will change for those for already have their stadiums at maximum capacity. They are still going to have full stadiums and huge ticket income, others will struggle to compete and build stadiums.

Also, changing the SC scheduling can be one of the things this game desperately needs - money drain.

Supercup incomes are split, so why is there a problem?
