Auction in the good old days?

[nikolgiorgos]

I 'm still not sure which is the best (considering that selling players in the old edition was a pain in the a.. )
but that hour, when I was wakening up every new season's Sunday morning at 06.00 (for me - 04.00 GMT for the game),
having my wife looking at me with some expression - you know what
and opening the transfers list to check for nordgens

was at the top5 moments I will remember from TE, forever

Yup I much preferred the old system. As a junior manager back then, just starting, I had the opportunity to sign some great players.
I also got my fingers burnt a few times!
But the final 10 seconds in bidding was epic. Caused a great buzz.
Plus as previously stated you learnt when, who and what to bid on. You developed strategies...in fact it was like playing poker.
1st round call or fold, second round call raise or fold, final round ....who folds last!
There is a manager badge for using last token to buy a player in bidding....back then it was an art.

What a lovely Sunday morning, 4 years ago on the transfer market. Back in times when skill and patience made the difference!

Thank you all for the explanations!

Looks like veterans always prefer the old times (same thing on any game)

Not sure I 100% understand (need more experience with the current system), but the current one looks more accessible / casual (correct me if I'm wrong).

What do you mean by "Nordgen players"? Are they a specific type of players or is this just how players generated by the system are called?

At that time, most of the players of the market were coming from human teams.
But in some cases, the system was creating players from bot teams, the nordeus-generated , the nordgens.
Those players usually were the faster trainers, gaining more from training.

Now all the players are nordgens from bot teams ( a manager can sell to another manager only with negotiations, level 4 ) but not all the players are fast trainers.

plus the last second snip
What a thrill

Hi managers!

I started to play TE recently, so I don't know how the game looked like a few weeks/months/years ago... (which is pretty frustrating, in some way)

Many people on this forum said that the previous auction was more enjoyable than the current one.

I'm curious: how was it different?

(if it was really more fun, I wonder why the devs changed it)

Lol this new auction is much better as you dont lose Tokens for nothing imagine you have 50 tokens and the guy you are bidding against has 51 tokens and you lose all tokens

Then you actually use strategy. Bidding 50 tokens for an auction player was and is a dumb move. You can get better Negotiations players and better Scouting players for cheaper than that.

It also prevents token buyers from artificially bidding up on players. Lose big chunks of tokens enough times and you stop seeing token buyers influence the auction market as much.

I am a fan of the old version and played a lot there.
Don't remember that I spent more than 30 tokens in a season, even if had to built a whole new team.
You could buy players like DC, MC , ST with 85-90% today's quality and 27-30 y.o. with one or three tokens
and now those now cost at least 8-10 tokens- not the first week.
