The thing is if you like it or not it is a very easy way to make a lot of money and distasteful as it is if you can resell a player occasionally at a big profit why wouldn't you do it. What does happen though is that there are lots of players who seem to make this their main aim in the game, they are constantly buying players cheaply and selling them at crazy prices and they just need a sucker every so often to keep the party going. what is really annoying is they often swoop on 18 year old FA prospects because they have a low weekly wage cost and they can keep several for a few weeks and just selling one pays for the rest. The thing that annoys me about this is that they don't train them and it puts those future U21NT prospects a few weeks behind while the dirty day traders let them rot.

So why anybody don't buy them when they are cheap like daytraders do? :P

If they are U21 NT prospects so it's your scout's role to find people that will keep looking after your best young players. Simple.

So if there aren't enough people willing to train so what's the problem? If you want to train good player and you have appropriate amount of money I'm sure you will manage to buy one. Daytraders bought only the cheap one. They have the limit of price that can be called reasonable.

But did you read the part where I say I have nothing against this ?.
Yeah sure, I don't trying to convince you,
I just saying what I'm thinking and I agree about those groups of buyers ;)

I just don't get it why there are still people that wanna to change system of transfering? With those current limitations it's quite good for me.

India is not Poland we do not have infinite resources. What we do attempt is to save about 50 or more prospects a season from teams going bot, basically any player $4k or more with star potential can become an U21 NT player if trained properly. There is no way we can find 50 people a year willing to train these mediocre talents. All we can do is release them onto the market and hope.

As I said I am not against day traders, I have done it myself many times, it is in the rules, but I wish the rules made it a lot less profitable (1 month minimum contracts, at least 80% tax on anyone besides draft picks who have been on your team less than a season) so that I would not be encouraged to do it to compete.

But the day traders who deal in U21NT prospects and don't train them really cause trouble for small nations with few good players.

Ok, I understand your point and you're right about the situation in smaller countries. I must to admit that I haven't thought about that.
But still I'm sure that if young player is good, there is small chance that he will be bought by daytrader because managers will gonna fight for him. There's a lot of them that want to have a NT player.
For me daytrading is a part of this game but I can imagine living without it so if there are people who suffer from DT, it should be limited much more than it's now. I will support that.

a) Why can't you fix both?

b) I don't totally agree. India is counted as a small country I am sure 50-100 players but they are a very active community with great players competing, training and chatting on the forums. However nations with two users would be very sad.

c) One change is MUCH easier than the other. How to reorganise the micro-nations would be a massive undertaking causing endless debate about who to merge which could be very political and actually moving teams to different nations would cause a lot of issues as well. Fixing day trading requires them to change the numbers on some already existing code. Probably take five minutes at most. The easiest way is change the minimum contract length from 4 days at present to 30 days.

Did you ever see a real team that purchase several players and not even using them?

Is this game is an eBay-game or a BB-managing game?
