are you planning to donate your trading profits to be divided equally amongst those that sadly cannot spend the time required to replicate your success?

if you feel like a cheater it is because you know that you are getting over the market rate for the players you list.... have any of your transfers ever been adjusted?

im not gettin over the market rate, i buy under thats the trick you know... ^^
and you cant adjust it coz no one knows the perfect price for that many skill-combinations... anyway i thought its a managing game and a good manager knows how to make profit...

and no, you get no money, you have to put a gun to my head to get it ;)

and plz no posts to me no more coz im off-topic ^^

ha only messing with ya.... when i started there were lots of digs at me and my approach to the game... it was amazing back in the day...

the taxes have scared off a fair few people and in a way i think have created even more of a hole for the few left to exploit

anyway still fun when someone takes a player off your hands at a nice profit - i restrict my trading to players that will get some minutes - perhaps a boost in GS and also an outside chance of a pop (step trade)

you will never get the gun approach from me!

sorry for interrupting you at work ;-)

dammit i hate it not to answer ;)
one of the first threads in this game i ever read was like this:
you saw that guy from austria`s top division hes buying all the free agents and nobody can stop him, its unfair hes making to much profit ^^
so i found out who he was and for sure he became an idol to me ;)

yes steptrades improve profits very quick ^^

and not much going on the market at the moment ;)

Hello CitB,

it#s interesting that the tactic in my last games (realy "standard", but i'm very successful with that) is the only point you are reacting at.......

By the way, no one here said that day traders are not able to manage a team successfully due to a good tactics. But, as many other users here already told, they give themselve a huge advantage over other players on the TL by buying good players.

I mean that the goal of it all, buy very good players to beat your opponents ! Or is there another reason ? I don't think so....

Greetings

BuzzerBeater definitely needs a more realistic roster limit rule. The NBA limit is currently 15. The NCAA does not directly limit roster sizes, but it does limit scholarships to 12, with teams allowed 'walk-ons', non-scholarship players who are not good enough to earn a scholarship to any similar school, but want to say they played on the team.

A roster limit of 15-18 would be a major improvement to the game as it would severely limit opportunities for day trading by means a simple, logical and realistic change to the rules.

1,2,3 are my favourite solutions (i think be right earn 25-30% for first 3 days, 50% in the first week, and after a linear increase. We can also give a weak limitation of total transactions, something like 30-40 in a season)

after some miles 5

after many light years 4,6,7

I think it should be forbidden to sell a player within 5 weeks after a trade. That would force to take care of the players and not consider them just as an instant cash machine...

Definetely agree with your imaginary friend..
Linear increasing tax rates and keepin one player for x weeks in your squad would be complicated and unrealistic solutions..
What we want to create here is reality..
So roster limit seems much more realistic and easier to me..

My opinion is:

I hate daytraders, because they have much more money than I do:D

But there is no rule that exactly forbids daytrading. As far it is not disallowed, it is OK. BB´s can see economics in global and they have to know if daytrading does nothing, help or harm economics of BB. Today, only rule that daytraders have to respect is Not to overprice (a lot) their sales.

3) Limit daytrading indirectly by introducing team chemistry -- trading players will hurt your enthusiasm, and like with the national teams, the amount of harm depends upon the amount of time since your previous trade.

This could be a solution, however I believe that instead of influencing Enthusiams. it could maybe modify the team ratings – or maybe both. For the lineup in a particular game the amount of time the players have been with the team could modify the team ratings for that game. And then enthusiasm could be modified slightly every week depending on the entire roster.

The reason for not only impacting Enthusiams is that Enthusiasm is reset during off-season (which I don’t want to change) but the modifier for the games would never be reset.

I don’t really like the other suggestions.
Roster Limit: If implemented it should be quite high – maybe 20, as you can have 15 trainees and some injured players. You need also maybe a couple of spots for players that are not trained, until you are able to unload a couple of trainees for decent prices. In RL there might be a limit that is lower – but BBs way of training is not like in RL – therefore a Roster Size like in RL 12-15 would not be a good option.

A maximum of x number of trades per day/week/season probably would not eliminate DT. It will just make the fluctuations of prices higher, which is bad for sellers. And most managers who don’t DT would suffer as they might not get a decent price for their trainees. And it will limit the number of bidders on a player, resulting in a even bigger profit for DT’s, as it will be easier to pickup players for less than their true value.

I don’t think Transter Compare would be of any use. Like other players have pointed out – in HT it is very inaccurate and I believe it will be much worse here.
