Limiting daytrading is not about 'making both owners happy'. It is about preventing the accumulation of excessive profits by trading teams.


Can you explain excessive profits to Americans, like me... :-)

ok how about a profit share to the former owner, like this, if a bought player gets resold within a season, the former manager gets 50% of the tradeprice, that would make daytrades nearly impossible?

or the former owner gets 50% of the profit, that might would make both sides happy and the former team does not loose much if a player might gone for a to low price and daytraders would have more friends coz they make profit not only for themselfes no more, like everybody is happy when a daytrader bought their players?

That's what I was referring to. I meant that the goal of daytrade measures is not making the original seller happy. Everyone is responsible for their own decision for the listing price.

Plus, a similar structure is already in place -- you only get 80% of the transfer value for immediately reselling a player.



Obviously, this 80% is not enough. It should be downed to 50%. Let's say 50% if you sell the player within a week, 60% is you sell between a week and 2 weeks, 70% between 2 and 3, 75% between 3 and 4, 80% between 4 and 5.
Maybe that would make a difference and we would not see anybody buying a player to sell him immediatly after. They would be forced to keep them at least a few weeks.

I want to have the chance of training a rookie and sell him when he is good enough, or keep him when he boosters my team.


Nothing about my proposal changes this.

If you are going to keep a draftee and train him, fine. However, you have limited training spots, so you will have to replace one of your current trainees with a new draftee. Sell the old trainee; keep the draftee. You cannot do both.

As a practical matter, I find myself training 4 players at full time (48 or more minutes) and 2 at whatever is left over (24 to close to 48, depending on the weird choices of the substitution engine). So when 3 draftees come in, I have to decide which of the three draftees is worth training, and which of the current trainees will have to be sold off for whatever the market will bring.

It almost seems like a silly question when people ask about what to do when they reach their proposed roster limits.

Are you people telling us that you have the organizational skills to manage day trading but not enough to manage a roster? I doubt that is what you mean, but it is kind of sounding like it.

If you don't have room adjust your roster....just like every real team has to do.

I do think that a higher roster limit makes sense for BB purposes. I was thinking somewhere around 18-20 with a higher limit in the off season, maybe even as high as 22-25. (Although 16-18 and 20-22 would work as well)

This allows plenty of flexibility. It should even allow for decent profit to be made on the market, it just doesn't allow day trading to dominate the game.

Sounds like a good idea.

I think 18 players would be good solution.

So, your goal is to buy players, train them for 5 weeks and sell them ? Well, that's not really what I think of concerning a Basketball management game...

He isn't putting words in your mouth, he is trying to understand what you are saying....there is a huge difference.


Why don't you consider upgrading your arena before telling other people they have no solid grasp of how to play this game.
