Let us be patient with the admins, people don't work during weekend after all.
But I do agree that if this young academy thing can be meaningfully improved, it could be a win-win to both players and Nordeus. Imagine this: if there is a great player, who wants to simply ignore him? In consequence, there will be a lot of investments on him (packs, tokens) etc... the manager will be pleased by having such a good player and Nordeus can earn profit as well (people either click on commercials or buy tokens to get packs).
But if it stays as is, who cares about these young players? And who knows if he will be good or not, even after spending a lot of resources? So in consequence most of us just sign the free one and dump the non-free one.
So sad .... it has been years since we stated this topic but it is still basically what it is ....
