    I'm guessing many players don't stay in the game long enough to then sell on any youth players, regardless of how good they.
    The ones who do play for longer are possibly training up their 18 year olds to see if they can become even better.

    If an amazing 18-year old was available on auction, the bidding war would end ridiculously high.
    At that point, wouldn't it be better to plough your T-bucks into your own 18-year old player?
    You do know that ALL players on auction are generated by the game, by Nordeus?

    No human being sells players on the auctions.

    Nordeus has TOTAL CONTROL.

    Somebody shoot me...........

    Really? But I've put players up for auction... so maybe I'm not human (I guess I could be a cat with extremely good handling of computers).

    Bots buy your players and you buy your players from bots. (Except negotiations of course)

    If that's a certainty, then why not just build up your own world class 18-year olds rather than buy them?

    Again, even in a scenario where humans actually did buy/sell in the auction, no one in their right mind would put up an amazing 18-year old player for auction unless they gained real life money from it (which I doubt Nordeus would ever allow).

    If, for a moment, we're trying to base this game on real life... then in real life, how many amazing 18-year olds can you think of? What about past ones who then went on to remain world class? There's barely a handful. So what makes you think this game should then be flooded with amazing 18-year olds?

    Just use the youth academy - you get a few 17-year olds every season to train up. If you play the game long enough, you get plenty of free T-bucks... which you can use to train up these 17-year olds into decent 18-year olds.
