The other issue i have, which i just discovered, is that a few players i listed had, at the time of putting them up for sale, shown that i would receive 40-50% of sale price; however, whether because i sold a few (and there is some kind of cummalative effect) i actually received something like 15-20% (havent calculated exact % yet)!

So, i was told i would receive x % when put player on market but when player actually sold the % was significantly lower. What the?

If this is true and is BB policy it's pretty shady. Even more shady if it's not mentioned anywhere (a quick scan of the transfer part of the game manual doesn't mention it). Haven't experienced it myself though, so someone else backing up this info is needed.

As for the general topic, I think it's too restricted. I kind've get the issue with daytrading but correctly identifying an undervalued player is a skill in itself, if you put in the time to research the transfermarket and the time to bid, this should be a valid way of making a profit imo. (as I said, there's some value in limiting it, but I'd probably halve the current numbers)

...but if a manager chooses to change their whole team because they dont like their long term plans with the current roster (my reason) why the hell should i be punished?


To be fair, you haven't had a long term plan for a while. You've had over 90 transactions over the last 12 months, meaning you have essentially bought and sold your lineup every season. I think it's a little hypocritical to suggest that you should be able to change a longterm plan when you haven't had one.

Thats a fair point. No i havent had a long term plan for quite some time actually. Different things in rl and different opportunities in bb have dictated my plans. But it is unfair of you to suggest im incapable of one, its just been awhile.

That aside, the question still stands. Maybe you could focus on that rather than having a go at my managerial skills.

I was simply pointing out that saying you should be able to change "your long term plans" is a poor defense as you haven't had one for a conciderable amount of time. I haven't made any suggestions about your ability, good or bad. Suggesting that I said you were incapable of anything is a complete misrepresentation of what I said.

Reality is there are rules to discourage what you have been doing (and what you want to do). Don't play the victim and learn from the situation you're currently in.

Im not playing the victim mate and i do have long term plans. And you were having a dig at my previous plans without undetstanding

Anyway, enough said. This conversation has no value.

Concur. And since we're in the bugs forum and we're clear that it's not a bug, I'll go ahead and lock the thread.

I'll just pinch in a little bit to clarify some details and then re-close.

1. "Normal" teams (as opposed to day traders) with a low number of past transfers can actually sell their whole teams at a pretty high percentage. The percentage actually drops only after a successful sale. So you could have sold 15 players at almost max percentage, you just have to list them all at the same time and with a low enough starting price (risky!).

2. The percentage of the money received is recorded at the time of the transfer listing, not at the time of sale. This means that the percentage received is always the one shown when the player was listed.

Just wanted to clear that up.
