Did this creating of star players help our inflation problem? Or is it just going to make it worse in the future? A lot of money was drained out of the game which should reduce inflation, so was this a good choice or not? (Dee feel free to post your analysis please)

So what do you guys think? (I ask managers to refrain from writing 3 word answers, trolling the thread, or writing things that add no value to the thread)

Why are you forgetting about the money which has been drained are just from 5 managers and not the whole managers.. There are about 100 managers (Div 1 + Div 2 ) who have more than 1 Billion in reserve..
this is not going to effect inflation.. those who are purchasing these star players generally don't put their money in auction and don't have any role in inflation... U can also see the auction where people have money upto $700 M, will still continue to inflate the price of players.

i am not scholar but i will answer

this is just a temporary thing, until we are not controlling future inflow of cash in this game, inflation will still be a problem, even now, just 4 players will not help in moving a pebble from the mountain of cash in this game. There are still managers with 500m+ cash on hand in game. if at all dev's want to take money out of system this way, they should auction more players but it has a problem, in future all these players will be sold at even more idiotic prices for ordinary managers to think off.

Like the others before me I think that this isn't going to do a lot to reduce inflation. Even after 15 of these guys have been distributed, there are at least 15 teams who had enough money but didn't quite have enough. I think it definitely helps at least a little, but the people who bought the players bought them because they knew they'd either have one of the best players in the game in a few seasons, or they'd be able to sell the player for a profit.

The biggest problem is that it's pretty hard to get over the hump when you're making 2-4 million a game and you've got to work hard to get over that hump, but once you can easily buy VIP sections, it seems super easy to make some good money quick. I'm making a lot more money than I was at the start of the season, but what I've made so far is two weeks of money for a division 1 team.

What they really need to do is lower players fidelity as they get better. If you have to pay a player 10 million a week to make sure he's not hostiled then you're not going to have as much money to blow on $1 billion hostiles.

I said this before in another thread, there will always be inflation no matter what. Inflation may drop from one month to the next like say 10% for month 1 and 8% for month 2, but that doesn't mean prices will drop and no more inflation. That just means the rate of the inflation has slowed down from one month to the next and consistent decreasing of the inflation (deflation) is not good either because then players who were once profitable become un profitable. The prices we pay today aren't going to go down nor is the amount of cash flow unless intervention like capping purchases for a few seasons , raising taxes, creating more deposit interest for managers in div 5,6 and 7 and charging more for forecasting.

The managers who bought those star players will have that money again in about 2 seasons time, unless the star auctions happen every week in which case, the amount of money for those star players will significantly drop over two seasons ( since people cant keep spending billion and billions. Eventually they will either become conservative and save or spend all there savings on these players)

This results in lower prices for star players ( but not that much lower maybe 400m versus 1.3 billion then you have another group bidding on them), which does take money away from top teams, but then again, that doesn't help out with other non star players and the growth of their pricing. This only helps out with the pricing of star players which would make the star players more affordable, but then you could end up flooding the system with too many star players resulting in again, people selling them for higher profits and losing interest among higher teams, creating another bubble affect.

So really I say it has helped some but it hasn't helped enough. To control inflation to me, (others may disagree , specifically friends) I say creating a cap on regular average players for two seasons, creating a fixed price amount for players with forecast of 70-89 (90 could be whatever), taxing more in division 2 and division 1 where stadium incomes are around 15 mil - 22 mil per home game, and maybe charging more to forecast players which means people would only buy GBs to forecast a few players which means not as many FC players would be visible resulting in less buying of players and more Conservativness among managers. ( basically people wont be so quick to flip players for a profit)

I also recommend charging a bit more for pack manager but then allowing the forecast option to be free for the first 10 times and 10gbs after that but, only if they raise the price to normal forecast from 10gbs (now) to 25 gbs in the future.

well inflation at a moderate rate is a must for development of any economy. any over indulgence of removal of money from a economy will result in deflation ( devaluing of players in this case ) which is much worse than inflation. It's better to take systematic measures like end season dividends for cash rich teams based on certain criteria for each team and bonus for players and all than sale of players who will be sold at extra high prices latter. 26/08/2012 07:10

I got 100m. That because i'm in process of selling juniors. I never had more than 350m ever in my striker life. And I'm in this game from season 1. There won't be more than 20 guys with 1b+.

Edit: They deserve it because they know how to reach there and they didn't get that lying on the street. If you know how to earn money and are a good trader you can have that much too.

I do not think many managers 1B to money. Besides a high income on tickets they also have high spend on salaries.

Inflation is purely dependent on supply and demand. Now many more managers training of young talents under control, will increasingly saturation good players place.

Inflation will mainly take place in brilliant players. The cost for players avg 45 and below the normal price. I notice that the price of 45-50 avg even stabilizes.

at present the value addition for every point increase from 60 avg is high, it like 56 avg CF for 60m or so and 60 avg for 80m , people are panicking about this. 26/08/2012 14:25
