Now I mainly trade to cover my weekly costs as I'm not even close to filling my stadium and the 70k+40k a week in salaries does a lot of damage to your budget.

I think this is the problem most people have with daytrading. What the hell are you doing with 70k/week in salary in division IV? Add the +40k for the trading salaries, I assume? I don't think any team in the NBBA has salaries over 90k/wk and you're paying 110/wk? In division IV? With only 160k for a TV game? That's a nightmare.

And I see that you've figured out all on your own why you aren't even close to selling out your arena. Lowering ticket prices for next month is a great idea.

Also, I want to assure everyone that I'm not attacking any of the daytraders I listed (read all my posts in this thread). I know why people daytrade (I did it in HT); and I also know why people dislike daytraders. I believe that one of the things that makes games like this one fun is that it's kind of up to the user to decide how s/he wants to play the game. I only posted the above to clear up a point that I think Forrest was slightly misinformed about, and likely didn't have the time to research on his own.

I thought KDB was around $84k/wk so it was a safe guesstimate.

What in hell are you training with 18 players? (I see you're now down to 17). I can barely get 13 players enough minutes to keep their game shape up...

Certainly teams in Real Life bring in players on short term needs. However I dont think ANY pro team would be buy/sell 20 players a week (much less in a day).
if team management did that it would have an awful effect on the front office to actually MANAGE the team. also the fans would become really confused and not attend.
SO, I agree that the recently instituted TAX is not a bad idea (however the first 1 or 2 trades a month should have minimal tax)
But to really hit the day traders in the knees would be the a 10% DECREASE in attendance for every player bought in a month over a threshold (maybe 5 a month ?)
anyway, with the tax and a decrease in attendance, maybe it would make it less attractive to "day trade"
