if they wanted to stop day trading they could stop it utterly, now, forever, there are at least two super easy ways of stopping it and the fact that the BBs havent done anything about i shows that they like it or at least dont dislike it
i think the market is fantastic one of the real winning features of bb, the buying is awesome, the selling right away, even though i do it sometimes because it is just too easy, is bad
ways to stop it, utterly, dead, forever
1) all players when signed are on a 30 day contract and cannot be sold (or fired?) until this minimum contract expires
2) tax rate increace dramatically based on how long the player has been on the the team rather than how many guys you have sold, it could start at like a 90% tax if they have been on your team a week or less, 50% if a month or less down to 0% at a season or more
3) guaranteed contracts, when you buy a player you also buy their contract and will have to pay them until the end of the current season hether or not you sell them, this would not apply to players you bought in a previous season, original players or draft picks - this would really stop people buying $500,000 players for one game
4) enthusiasm effect - every time you sell a player your enthusiasm goes down 1 point (this wouldn't stop everyone but would stop a lot) - possible exceptions to this would be during all star week and/or the week before the trade cutoff and/or in the off season - i think something similar already is in place for NT teams to stop them randomly adding and removing players
