I know everyone complains that the players they want to buy are always too expensive and the ones they want to sell are too cheap, BUT - I have played more than 250,000 hrs on this game (maybe steam counts screen idle time as game play) - its unrealistic.
I appreciate that things affect value
Length of remaining contract
Age
Wage amount
Team reputation
League reputation
Playing time
Awards and trophies
Injuries
But using the Genie scout it became blatantly obvious that when looking at a list of say the top 50 players for a position, even if mine were in the top 5 of every position and on long contracts with reasonable wages, at a top 5 star club with great facilities and coaches, they were ALWAYS MILES CHEAPER IN VALUE THAN ANYONE ELSE. It gets the the point that you can instantly know from a glance which players are yours because they have one less digit in the value, this is tottaly unrealistic, if a team goes undefeated and wins every cup it enters, how can a player be worth so little with a higher reputation... it feels like the game is gaming me?
As I said I have played this game a lot, written guides, learned almost all there is to learn but its always the same result, when winning your player values drop.. that makes no logical sense at all?
