My theory is that if they have to cheat, they don't know the game well enough and/or don't have the patience to build a truly successful team. They may make some noise here and there, but don't have what it takes to really be a top team. And to me, that's what it's all about.




Well at least 3 of the cheating teams were in the AFLC and at least one had been a G-I member for 8 years with 2 Cup Wins and 3 TD Titles....



Yeah, and now that those teams have been kicked to 'Bots' midway through the AFLC campaign I'd imagine that the impact he's had on 1 or 2 teams campaigns is a kick to the nuts that those managers didn't deserve and is through no fault of their own .... a prime example of why the Points Diff decider format should be replaced by a head to head format when teams tie at the Top and Bottom of divisions.... cos it only takes 1 idiot/cheat to ruin a season for others.

You're right! There are some in this game that pay and play honestly with only 1 team. Cheating epidemics like this really rob all of us of a fair well-regulated game. The AFLC is now a mess as well as Asia TD and Balkan TD. I think more teams are about to get Botted as well which will have more ramifications for the half of season that has already been played...

It's truly mind numbing how many teams are being harvested for young players and how many are simply funneling money. Some of the teams are smarter about it than others. However, it's so obvious in many cases...

Bold Move.....and honestly I'm disappointed in this.

Well now that you have outed yourself and brought attention to all your transactions, including a team with nearly the SAME NAME that has paid you nearly $10M over a period of time, do you want to just wait to get booted or you just going to ride off into the sunset?



Imagine a world where two complete strangers meet in an online game, both with similar interests on opposite sides of the world

What a sad life some people need to have. Can you imagine how much time it costs to manage ten teams? There'd definitely be time to spend at least two hours in the soup kitchen per week, actually helping people who need help. Instead these morons spend it for a game like this, to cheat other people.

So apparently, now managers are reporting people because they simply DON'T AGREE with the prices that people bid on the transfer market?

Listen to this BS....

I sold a player who I had posted for sale multiple times (recently listed at $5M and $3M respectively, a few weeks ago). His name was Shelby Wampler and you can see in my transaction history. He was 4*, but also had 20-int, 20-con, and 20 speed only 21 y/o, capped at strength but perfect for a WR or CB dual positional threat (which is how I was training him) or even a 20-20-20 QB. I valued him highly, so I walked his price down to $2.5M to see how the market valued him. I was either going to sell him in this range or I was going to keep him and continue developing. Because, again... I valued him highly.

I had not 1, but 2 bidders on him in this range. So now collectively, 3 managers ALSO valued him highly.

6 months ago, I had posted a thread asking community opinion on what to do with this player because originally I wanted him for RB or QB. Therefore I engaged the community for opinion on position (RB, WR, CB, QB, etc). AFTER I had multiple bids on the player and he was on his way out the door, I posted an update in that thread saying he was being sold.

Now I get a message from someone, (not saying their name since that is against the rules) we will call him "Mr.BS" saying they reported me because they don't agree with the bid price (I'm paraphrasing, he wrote a paragraph of garbage).

When did people become the judge, jury, and executioner of transactions simply because THEY DON'T AGREE WITH IT. I don't have to justify anything to you. I valued this player more highly than you because I have a passing team. You may not value a certain player as highly and that is you prerogative, but don't come stalking my team and reporting me multiple times because you don't agree with the prices that MULTIPLE OTHER coaches agreed with!

If there is a bid price you don't like, then don't bid! It's really that simple. Not everyone is going to agree on how to value players and what attributes are most important.

"Mr.BS" also informed me that there is a group of people reporting the transaction. So apparently this is how people spend their time? Trying to get other managers punished because they simply don't agree with something?

The community is already small enough and this is what you do? Seriously?

This is nuts. I don't appreciate this at all.

This is truly MADNESS of the transfer market, as this thread is titled.
