wasn't their in past the action to invite teams into your league?(maybe thats hattrick, i am not sure if it was here)

Especially in small countrys, it isn't impossible that you end up in the same league.

Also it is very likely that you etablish friendship with an league mate, who maybe do a favour before he quits.

So i won't say that it is safe, and also the restriction make it not very useful.

PS: many cheaters try to get oversea account, because they look more innocent on the first sight.

I know how to make American style(NFL,NBA,MLB,etc.) player trading work without cheating: restrict trading to within your own league.


I would never ever trade one of my players to sb. else in my league unless I wanted to cheat.

The whole BB-world is not built for a trading system anyway, and if you want you can sell a player to team X and then buy your desired player from team x anyway.

I dont know if you would get in trouble by swapping players on the transfer market for money way above the TPE. After all you dont gain anything in addition from the sale (if we assume you "trade" equal players).

I was offered player trades a couple of times (selling both above fair market value to ensure no one disturbs the transaction), although I have never done such a transaction I guess it happens from time to time.

I'm not really getting this statement. If you want to cheat how would you achieve that by trading with other teams in the Österreich Bundesliga?
and if you want you can sell a player to team X and then buy your desired player from team x anyway.

Not really, often some other random BB user intercedes and the "trade" process doesn't go smoothly. I think that a trade system that I suggested could coexist with the transfer system and help out BB.

In my view, this suggests that your valuation of the trade didn't meet the overall market value for the player(s). Hence, if it had gone through, you'd be advantaging yourself (and the other trade partner) at the expense of all other teams in BB.

No I was talking to Knecht about "you can sell a player to team X and then buy your desired player from team x anyway" and how that usually doesn't work.
If you trade with your league mates, then you won't be making unbalanced trades.

There was a trade in the early seasons of this game between 2 league mates.... although I must stress this was all conspiracy theory on my behalf and I add a disclaimer to this message saying that my definition of trade is very different to that of what you are describing or promoting the idea of.

In no way shape or form should 2 teams be allowed to manipulate the market for their own personal gain. I know your trade idea doesn't necessarily suggest this but the transfer market works well enough as it is why fix it?

PS. When can we have a kit creator :D

PPS. When will a salary cap be introduced (more so i don't keep spending my money!)

Both the above were discussed in person at an executive breakfast meeting this morning between Thailands and Japans most decorated club managers. We feel that we represented the best interest of the 55,000 + members and we are sure you will enjoy the upcoming changes!

Ah, gotcha.

I still don't see why trading within the league would necessarily prevent cheating? I can understand where you're not going to trade with a direct competitor unless you believe it improves your team more than it improves theirs.

But what's to stop two owners from colluding in the process, when they have very different team qualities? Someone about to promote and someone sure to miss the playoffs/about to relegate have very different motives. It's not a stretch in my view that they stack their deal such that it unfairly benefits them both.

That happens in real life, remember the Pau Gasol trade from Memphis to the Lakers? That was an unbalanced trade but it was in the best interest of the two teams.If two members discuss something and come up with a deal, as long as it isn't too ridiculous, then I don't see the problem.
