But you're losing less cash with the current method. Let's say his value was 500k and dropped to 400k, and we're allowed to set their price at 100% of their value, you'd have lost 100k, assuming only one bid was made both times. With the current system, we're only allow to set their price at 90%, so also assuming only one bid occurs during buying and selling, you would have bought for 450k and sold for 360k, meaning only a loss of 90k.

I agree that a player's value should rise earlier in their career, Ronaldo's certainly rose after a few seasons at United, but then of course their value should diminish after they hit their peak. There are also players who are hyped up as youths but fail to make it, meaning their value would decrease earlier. I think it'll be fine if players who progress at close to maximum training speed rise a little in value.

On that topic, I managed to get a lot of bargains this season, so I believe I'll be making a profit come the end of the season/beginning of next season.
