Get your players to the Training ground this weekend for extra progression!

Not good, I hope Transfer Madness coming again next week

I expected a transfer market event because the transfer window opened today. But the window is open until July 21 so maybe next week we will have a transfer market event.

I'm happy with training events like this one as well.

@Markez17 @AlyssaGB Could you tell us what you changed about this event? I assume you did after the horrendous first try of this event. So no more empty transferlist after the first day for example....?

@AlyssaGB. Can you please tell me why you like to ruin the game for managers? Do you think this is humorous at GB?
This is an idiotic event that will ruin competions like champions league CC. Well done GB for making the same mistake over and over again!!

Majstor Matt

@Kingnilo_NL There is never an event that can satisfy everyone, but this one is the most fair of all. It gives us opportunity to build up our teams without using too much boss coins and that is fantastic. Yes, more active league do have some problems because everyone are buying from the list, but there are 8 transfer sims during the day, Im sure everyone can try and be active at least around one of these 8 and buy what the need.

I hate when I am playing in normal transfer times like nowadays and I cant improve my team because I dont have luck with transfers.. and meanwhile some other managers are easilly earning 50M in one transfer sim. That is frustrating as well. With this event I can be sure that I will sell enough players in a day to improve my team and rest some players with fatigue.

So yeah, not ideal, but surelly one of the most fair events out there, everyone has the same chance to improve the team, hey just need to be very quick after every transfer sim

We have players from all around the world playing this game. Your last sentence "hey just need to be very quick after every transfer sim" is objectivly true but you cann't ask from Brazilians to stay up all night to "out-F5" their competitors from a European timezone or the other way around. Or to take a free day if you normally work on saturday.

Ofcourse, your reasoning is objectivly right, but I think you could also argue that some people would be in quite a disadvantage because of this event. And before you answer, "that is their choice', that would objectivly also be true. But I think you understand my point. This shouldn't be the way competitions should be decided. Some people can profit from a event and some cann't, in basics that is unfair.

This event is disastrous if you play in really active leagues, but since these leagues are rare (the majority of the leagues on OSM aren't fully occupied with managers refreshing every worker), I can understand that most people like the event as it is.

However, it would still be nice if GB wants to take into account the small part of players that are trying to take the game to its maximum potential in terms of competitiveness. An option to disable weekend events when making a new league would already do the job.

Majstor Matt

I understand your views guys, and I see that It can be a problem. But in a same way "extreme friendlies" can be a problem as not everyone have 40+ BCs per day to use them and play friendlies during the event. Legends as well, I cant afford 100 BCs to purchase one player... extreme training progression mixed with boss coins usage - I cant stop people in my league to use them and I cant use advantage lf it as well...

So yeah, If you want to look at it that way, every promotion can be a problem on itself. So yeah, not even this one is ideal, but at least it gives me same opportunity as it gives to mr.Richie Rich type who has 1000 bcs per league usage on regular basis, and for me that is good enough.

I think this promotion in general is good. But it would indeed be nice if GB can add more foreign players on the transfer list too, just to prevent that there are only expensive players from other managers on the list in active leagues. I had this in my USA league (24 human teams) last time. GB will also benefit from this because we pay 1 coin for every player we buy from the transfer list.

On top of that crew ranked battles are nothing else but a campfest for those 3 players that appear on the transfer simulation. The transferlist is EMPTY during this event, you can't buy anyone so unless you spend a lot on scout you will finish the event with millions of money and destroyed squad

JetonT.

PLEASE. This Event needs Fast Scout too. Im actually in a league with timers off, we can't speed the scout and now we don't have players in transferlist. Please don't ruin our leagues with Events like this one.

@SpecialOne For people who are organizing events, this is a blessing!

Hans Dieter Hansi Flick

@JetonT That's a good suggestion. This also brings more benefits to GB
