I just wanted to bold out the main thing at what you said here.
A say, that is commonly said here.


People get bored of and quit this game once the TL becomes more of a chore than a hobby, and the game then requires an unwanted time commitment lest other managers with time on their hands surpass you


The problem is that, there are too many eBay gamers here, and they like it this way...

I've suggested due to that an "semi-automatic auction system". I believe that this is that you are looking for.

No, they'd change their strategies accordingly just as everyone else would do. Chinese managers run the TL because they've rightly identified it as the best road to BB success. The ridiculousness of the strategy only underscores the need for change.

Actually given how little free time people often have out here I'd imagine the BB community in China would rise drastically if the need to log on so damn much went away :p
You are right again.
There are some eBay players that tries to scare the BBs from changing what must be changed.
I believe that it is plain and simple fact that BBs are aware of - some may leave, but the core of users who joins this game will stay much longer, and this community will grow.

Who enters this game is here for BB-managing, which currently is not what this game is all about (and you described it quite well).

So "managing" is the opposite of signing players via transfer list, making economically sound decisions, building up an infrastructure in an effective and profitable way, training and building players by your teams needs and setting up lineups and strategies to get success?

If that´s the case, there´s not much left what your vision of "managing" has to do with either Basketball, NBA or Buzzerbeater. That´s exactly what teams around the world have to do when "managing" franchises.

Actually, setting a Trade Deadline around the All Star Break would most likely lead to player values going even more down afterwards, and that might to plenty teams going bankcrupt, as there is no need at all to sign anyone late in the season.

A week wouldnt hurt. Also some "A player has to have played at least one regular season game for the team before beeing eligible for the off season" or "A player has to appear in any Cup game before the final" in order to play the final would be nice.

Just a thing, how small countries are supposed to save players if they can be bought or they cant play most of the season ?

Like what happens with an NBA player who is not being chossen by any team.
He is not necessarily retired, and he will be available when the transfer's-window will be open.

What a shorter TL period will indirectly cause (and this will allow all to understand those who are against it) is that more users will be part of each auction due to the shorter period.
By that, those who are taking advantage of current auction implementation will have less chance to play there eBay-game where they exploit this and purchase players for lower value that they are worth.

This alone makes this a good suggestion.
BUT
I prefer the Semi-Auto auction system that I've presented which have additional advantages.
