Yesterday lol, and bought another one for only 2T ...5* defender, very happy with that, Im actually managing ok but I must admit the 4 and 9 players are become fewer now! also there are way to many 30+ players on now.

now buying players is easier, but selling them is almost impossible. The 3-star player are never bought or sold, and I don't understand why, because a 3 star player a 5 star for players tow levels below mine, and there has to be teams two level less than I in my server

Because 3* and 4* players are not offered to lower levels anymore. Another "brilliant" feature of the new transfer market.

I didn't know this, but I was suspecting something like that. Why is the reason of doing this? I guess now we have to wait until our players are 2 star to sell them to lower level players... This doesn't sound good

Thanks for the info

8 days to go for new season and still no response about this (being very polite ) worse than having the trot`s new transfer market`, so it looks like i will be leaving unless the ???? behind the scene`s let us know what they plan to do too improve the market

[spornybol]

well that seems fair ( my rump ) got a team in my league that can sign from old market and how can i tell, the amount of 18 yr olds in there squad and as i`m in new market i`v never seen an 18 yr old, so a fair playing level for ???

now i`m really peeved so Nordeus best bring this old market back or if you really want player`s to leave then make it a level playing field for all and put this donkey new market on all server`s fast.

edit; tell a lie the only 18 yr olds i see are 3 star player`s that don`t need nor want to sign as can`t sell either

The way I see it, there is still a glimmer of hope. The fact that not all servers are migrated yet would indicate that Nordeus do see a blip in the grand plan - perhaps excessive inactivity on the servers they did migrate. Otherwise there is absolutely no reason why all servers should not be sharing in the same misery. I suppose the start of next season will indicate which way the pendulum swings.

Well, my bags are packed, Im ready to go
Taxi's waitin' outside the door
Hate to wake you (Nordeus) up!!!!... Keep sleeping

Spornybol, rdsouza, exactly. There's a couple of teams in my league buying and selling like there's no tomorrow, they r still on the old market.. Not fair at all, another example of nordeus's mess..
But it does leave us with the hope that what we have (6 old and useless 5stars most of the time, I'm yet to see a player I'd like to buy on new TM) isn't the end and more updates shall come, hopefully they ll have heard enough on this tread and in the poll to make this thing playable again for everyone..

Interesting to try and predict how this could evolve and Im sure Nordeus are / have done their homework as well.

As with most businesses, you need to Farm your Installed Base and Add to it through New Customer acquisitions.
The Nature of the IB is to decline - erosion is a fact of life and companies need to offset this erosion (decline) with one of 3 strategies
1. Acquisition Rate higher than Erosion Rate. 2. Retention: Keep your major customers happy - slow the rate of decline while acquiring reasonably. 3. OverFarm : Increase Revenues from IB while it declines (Reducing acquisition rate and Increasing Erosion)

Looking at this Game, Id suggest there were 4 categories of Managers.
Heavy Token Buyers - yeah - weve all seen them. These are the premium customers and need to be protected. The NTM does not really make much of a difference to them as they usually start at 6* buys and PT to higher levels. If anything, the NTM now treats them better as other managers can not (will not) compete - so we already get 2 classes of Teams - Lets call this one the 6* Club

Then there are the "Casual" Tokeners - who buy every now and then - just to maintain a decent competitive team. This group would also include the T-Farmers (where available). Usually buy the odd scouts but largely young 4* (for PT) or 5* off the market. The NTM impacts this group the most - especially on the selling side and I feel that Nordeus is trading (Read: Risking) off a percentage of this part of their IB in order to keep the 6* Club Happy. ...High Volume-Low Spend VS Low Volume-High Spend.

Then of course there are the Part-Timers. This would be the existing managers who are quite happy to run 3* / 4* teams and let them decline into oblivion. All Noobs would initially start off like this but then come through / evolve as the 6* Club or 5* Club future. Of course with the Casuals having a rough ride, Nordeus apparent strategy would be that of the New Managers joining, they would prefer to retain only those who would move straight to the highest level.

I think in about 6 - 12 seasons from now - there would be 2 distinct classes of teams - the "6*+" and the "3*-4*".... basically an evolution of this game into a sort of "Premium - Pay to Play" & "Regular - Free to Play" division.
