[Announcement] - Negotiations Changes - Coming 3rd of March

[Orjinal]

I think is not really good cos buying player on the last days of the league is bad and the player will lose star at the end of the season very bad.

Anyone noticed that the assistant/recommended players seem to be better?

Last 10 seasons my recommended players were all 22+ yo, 400 tokens or more, always positions I didn't need, e.g. where I already have a great player or a position not in my team formation. This season I desperately need 2 positions, DR and MC. Last 2 days my recommended players were a 18 yo DR at 92% for 26 tokens, and a 19 yo MC at 89% for 22 tokens. Players I might actually buy, can afford and could train up and keep for 4-5 seasons.

Is this just a coincidence, or do others notice the same?

Rather than mourning the loss of negotiations, can we think of fun new features instead? For example:

- More interactive/realistic scout: e.g. you assign your scout to look for players of a certain position / age / skills, and wait for him to report back. The longer you let him scout, the better players he finds, so some strategy in thinking ahead, getting more players vs better players. This feature should not be about gambling tokens on pot luck finds (which would not be allowed in all countries) - if you spend a token to initiate a search, the outcome (after waiting) should be fairly assured.

- More interactive youth academy: where we can set the development regime or even conduct the training. Currently the free youth players just fill the bench to boost training, a rather wasted feature.

The problem with only having auctions to find players is that you have to check the market constantly to find players, maybe 2-3 hours a day at the start of the season. If you have a job, school, kids, etc this is not possible, so the game is no longer accessible to "regular" people. (Scouts are too expensive for old players, recommended/assistant are pot luck and mostly crazy suggestions.) Also the game is now only about luck of finding someone, the strategy and fun is gone. With negotiations there was strategy in guessing how much to bid, waiting up to 24 hours, and also training up a bench of 19%/39%/59%/79% players ready for sale. It's a bit boring now just waiting for the auctions to refresh every few minutes.

Good ideas mate - I really like them, but I'm 100% sure nothing will be done as Nordeus don't care.

And as for the negotiations - better remove this feature for good than leave it as it is now. In the current state we see some tricky approach from Nordeus - like we have some nice game feature like NEGOTIATIONS but in reality this feature is useless and is only for a tick.
