[OFFICIAL] Further notes on the - New Auction system

[BridgeGoth]

I found a minor good aspect of the new auction system.

When you bid for a plauer he goea to the upper list, in a real time auction list.
This bar has a bid button at the right side.

This helps a lot to bid multiple players in a single auction timeline, without enterig the player's card.

Multibidding now is more easier than previous.
Total tokens and money that the auction bid is on, is kept refreshin making a realtime auction info.

That had always been there...

Okay, so I've tried out the auction system quite a bit tonight. Some notes:

• While bid wars definitely end more quickly, the peak tokens are about the same as the old system. Haven't seen much past 50 yet.
• The main problem is that there is a base level of approximately 8 tokens for any player of reasonably quality and age. Perhaps this goes down later, but we saw late last season that the token floor was high then too.
• I think a good bit of the game's charm is lost in that any level can bid on any player. No longer are there "bidding rivarlies"; you're just bidding against random people you don't care about. This makes the system much less unique or engaging.
• The fact that human managers can't sell players to other human managers via Auctions still sucks. A lot.

Overall, do I hate it as much as I first did? No, probably not. Do I still hate it? Yes. Do I still think Nordeus should have both types of Auctions running at the same time? Yes. Will I quit if Nordeus keeps this around without changing it for a while? Definitely.

EDIT: Also, there is a cap to how many players you can see on the auction list that you've bid on in the past. I'd be okay with this if the max was 20 or 30, but it's closer to 10. That's not nearly enough for managers to do any kind of meaningful analysis. Makes it feel like a fast food restaurant.

I've watched the auctions for some minutes. The bidding wars are really insane. And it's not like level 1 managers are hitting the bid button like a mad man. In fact, I did not spot a single level 1 manager. All of them have experience in the old system, for a few months at least.



This is the record I saw untill now. Who bids more?

No you will not see any level 1 managers as they have their own TM

confirmed

In my lv30 team there aren't first levels managers and in my reserves, lv1, there are only lv1 &2 managers.

Nordeus brought that in on the 2nd day(?) of this new TM set up
There was notification here on the forum.

Agree with most sentiments here. Cannot sell my 'past it and cannot train' 26 yr old legends for love nor money even though 2 of them have special abilities. The fact that players peak at 18-21 is galling anough but then to not get a bid on any player time after time. Ludicrous.

I really missed that part. Any one has a quote on this?

Level 1 bidders.
To confirm again - Level 1s bid in their own bracket. They don't bid with higher level users.

Bidding in general.
From my own experience in the past days (and the beginning of the new season), I've seen all ends of the spectrum when it comes to bidding wars, just like previous years. :/
Was able to snatch a couple players for 1T not 10 minutes ago. But yesterday I left 17T for a single player. This doesn't differ from what I usually experienced in the auction when out hunting for talent.

Feedback.
Again, we're really grateful that all of you are expressing your thoughts. I'm gathering and relaying lots of constructive comments from this and other threads.

Your 3rd point really stood out for me. Great comment overall. I would really like to hear more opinions about everyone's bidding experience now that the new season has begun.
