The other part of the update which is to only allow negotiations in the last week of the season seems to be the point everyone is upset with and although I am not upset about it ,I am a little confused why it is a needed countermeasure to upselling as it seems it will have little if any bearing in that direction. I have always felt that the form of negotiation we had in the game was seriously flawed and so very rarely used it. Players showing on the nego list too often came from abandoned ,unmanned clubs so you would bid for a player and receive no reply and therefore tie up valuable coin for 24 hours repeatedly. Even when you did manage to get a response from the other manager invariably he would either up the ante or make the purchase not cost effective so again 24-48 hours or more would be wasted.It should be remembered that a season is effectively only 30 days long so these types of holdups in recruitment can have a big effect on a teams season. Those who claim to live by the nego page I would guess would be in the main part buying from friends and that is open to a certain level of corruption so again I claim the system was flawed. Then there is the problem of the majority of managers not understanding the system at all so repeatedly offered 0 tokens to the other manager for a valuable player.
If this is the death of the current nego system then really it is no great loss. There is a better way that would be beneficial to everyone but for some reason that I cannot fathom Nordeus wont introduce it to the game.
