I dont think it happens on the scale that you are referring to. I think they dial it up a notch overall on everyone when they need more money. Some will not be affected, others affected greatly. I just think that if there are 100K injuries a day for over 1M players, then they dial it up so that there are 200K injuries per day and that will make people use more red bags and will make more managers buy more tokens for red bags.
You have to stop thinking of just how it affects yourself and how it affects the larger population. See the forest through the trees amigo!
What I have described is easy to do and is most likely done with other aspects of the game as well.
Gaz, it is already common knowledge that age means absolutely jack squat in this game in terms of performance. It only comes into play for worth and training rates.
This game is loosely based on player/team quality with a touch(LOL) of randomness brought into the game through the infamous NGE (Nordeus Game Engine). This NGE brings us the frustration of extremely common upsets where LOL serious underdogs regularly beat vastly superior quality teams. This is the fantasy/reality created by Nordeus that just adds to the other issues that dont make sense in terms of the realness of this game.
Forget that you can instantly heal with red bags(reddeviljohn), but the scheduling issues and rate of injuries already make this a fantasy football game rather than a football simulation. Factor in the more than common upsets and it only solidifies the fantasy aspect. The only simulation aspect to this game is the player management part, and even then, the manager influence thing is to justify the sale of tokens so they can profit. It is like the more tokens you buy, the more you are like Abramavich, which is funny since he doesnt always have enough influence to get the best players.
All this to say, there are many issues that cripple the enjoyability of this game, which is a crime, since there are some good positives to this game. It is unfortunate that the negatives outweigh the positives most of the time for the majority of managers. The outstanding issues are taking so much time to deal with, if there are plans to deal with them at all. The lack of communication with Nordeus to its customers is horrible. they need a serious overhaul to make this game what it can be.
