Maybe you should start a thread to try to get over your fixation on "peak hours." I'm not suggesting they don't exist, but I am not fixated on them, and I suspect hardly anyone else is, either. Maybe a thread on the topic would help you get it out of your system. Just thinkin' out loud.

I believe there is a such thing as peak hours. I look at it like this: the majority of BB users are from Europe. With that in mind, most of them get on around in the afternoon and evening over there, which would be morning and afternoon here in the States.

Now, if it is a game day, more people will get on to set their lineup and do whatever else they want to do. Since game days attract more users from Europe (and overall), there would be more potential users that could bid on a player. A player being sold at 2 PM EST would probably get more attention, and thus, be sold for a higher price.

Compare that to a player who is sold on a Monday night at 10 PM EST. Since most users in Europe would be asleep at that time, and maybe only users in the Americas and Asia would be online, there would be fewer potential users that would see such a player, leading to even fewer users who would bid on him.

A) not all retired players are CRAPPY
B) not all fired players are CRAPPY
C) it is a problem losing players PERIOD. Or you will have to admit everybody, even DV teams need great players with 110+ TSP. Besides, logically: more fired players than draftees=not good

It is bad for the game and the Free Agency rules are exasperating the issues of a shrinking market (which is still shrinking as each season is worse than the previous one in terms of good prospects and prices are still raising). Even the 500k base fee for players over 50k salary is just not helping. Free Agency wipes out both very high salary players and trainable players and high potential youngsters. Not cool.

Also, as Trainerman correctly understood that reply was also to call you out in a reply earlier in the thread where you were equally dismissive.

Same old blah blah blah from a day trader. Like I said before, go do your daytrading on a market site with other traders with real money. Using a basketball sim for anything but a basketball sim is buttshlt.

No question about it, but are you fixated on it?

No, I thought not.

It seems you are advocating for more lenient FA rules with lower salary as a threshold, that may happen relatively soon. For information, FA rules with higher salary threshold was also asked by users in the past.

That is great news! I hope "relatively soon" is very soon.

Of course, higher level managers who fear up and coming mid-level and new teams would advocate for higher FA salary thresholds for obvious reasons, but that would not be good for the game.
