- And I am definitely not daytrader or sitting on a pile of money! ;)
- I invested a lot to have good head coach, and now he can retire after 2 seasons!
- Some of trainers are there for over 60 seasons!
- Who's going to hurt more this retirement: someone playing 30 seasons, or me playing 4? They already paid off investment 100 times!

First of all, I complain because I can, and second, that change doesn't add any reasonable value to me as a manager.

I was not answering to you but to "like" comment about having 5 unearthly coaches.

Me too, that change doesnt add any reasonable value to me as a manager, I will have to renew all my coaches.

But this is not about my own selfish interest, looking at the big picture i welcome these changes.

Nah, Raul is Fidel's younger brother.

haha you are damn right!

When the stupid injuries will be fixed .... adding coach retirement is robbery to those that were upgrading their coaches slowly toward years
If you want to implement such change reset age of existing coaches in the working age...

I think most of you guys are overreacting. You have to look at it from a broader perspective.

It's not just you, EVERYONE is going to have to spend money on coaches, EVERYONE is going to have less money. It will reduce the money in circulation and so players on the market will become cheaper. No one gains a competitive advantage its the same for everyone.

Just like when you started earning twice as much money from tickets after the changes made you happy but didn't make you stronger than league opponents because they started earning twice as much money too.

If the spending on coaches offsets the increased tickets revenue, from a financial standpoint the game will return much closer to the time before the changes.

+1000

Bulshit

This is a temporary money dump, unlike the player taxes. After four months or so, it'll go back to normal.

Is it worth 10% of the active base quitting? I mean, I guess that gets money out too...

It will reduce the money in circulation and so players on the market will become cheaper.

my huge stack of money can't wait for that to happen. I will get richer overnight :PP

I always find it funny that people moan about inflation. Inflation is the best thing that can happen to users in general, especially those developing who need to invest into coaches and stadium :P

So much complaining about recent changes. Some people play this game for 10+ years and still don't have some emergency budget? Pathetic...

Its not temporary, coaches will always retire so you will have to spend a few million per 4-5 seasons on average. Might not be a dramatic difference for inflation but in the same way its not a big deal and no one will quit.

@Borkos Inflation is the best thing that can happen to users in general

No its not. Its the worse thing that can happen to the game. I can agree that it is somehow beneficial to the newcomers, but the game as a whole is not designed in such a way that the cost of the facilities, YS, etc is so insignificant compared to the cost of the players. The game should be challenging and you shouldn't be able to build a stadium with one-season training of one youngster. Now the only challenge is to find talented and profitable youngsters, all other aspects you can neglect.

I open “Finances“ page once per season because who cares if I'm +€1m or +€3m season operating profit when the difference is 10% of the price of one top player.

It's too late for that now. Transfers for 25m euro happened 16 years ago, it was over by then.

Yes, you can drain money out of the system, but that will kill new/developing users on all fronts and make their catching up even more terrible.

"s not temporary, coaches will always retire so you will have to spend a few million per 4-5 seasons on average. Might not be a dramatic difference for inflation but in the same way its not a big deal and no one will quit."

What I am saying is that this massive, artificially created demand bubble will be gone in 4 months time. After that, it's basically going to be back to normal supply/demand again. That's all.

But the difference before and after the changes is significant. And it will only get bigger and bigger if there is more money coming in than going out. If finances are now balanced (I suppose they're not) the current state its not that bad but what if prices are double in few years and double again after that? Will inflation always be good?

From a newcomer's perspective, the best way to get money out of the game is just that. Their coaches are cheap and easy to recruit. The more direct method - cutting ticket money - would have hit them harder.
