The point is that there would be far less transfers due to the time limits, and a greater emphasis on working what you have. I don't see the point of condensing all BB transfers into two weeks because 90% of them would never happen. Teams would be more patient and more thoughtful instead of overhauling the roster whenever the slightest thing goes wrong.

As it stands, the most active managers make the most money and earn the most success, and god forbid a team tries something other than LI and RnG.

I had a lot of success in a short time because I daytraded. When I stopped doing that and tried playing with tactics, I was surpassed by more active managers. idk, the game rewards used car salesmen and trade machine fanatics. Honestly I see what it takes to be good at this game and it bores the daylights out of me because it's so incongruous with what it takes to build an actual good basketball team.

I´m not sure about this anymore- what you write was true around season 10-12. With the current economy and rules, daytrading became WAY less effective.

It can still be done, but it just requires a greater time commitment. Once again, managers who feed BB the most page hits get the most wins, regardless of skill.

Also it only strengthens the old teams which built huge bank accounts and sat around as new teams were unable to catch up in the depressed market.

You've described it precisely, and that is why you got an answer that it is "not happening anymore".
I guess from what you wrote that you experienced it not a decade ago, but on last seasons.

Of course, if that was not the case anymore, those who are against limiting the day-traders weren't those who are executing that "BB-strategy"...

And here you raised the old-teams issue that I've raised many times before.
So I guess that I wasn't wrong that much...

Don't you see that those old teams are poor?
Don't you know that also that had been the case up until season 10-12, and now France, Italy and Spain are all new teams?
Oh, sorry. They are no newer than season 4...

How would you have a higher impact, then what it is now?

Dont you agree that there has got to be a better way to stop day trading then limiting the transfers to two short periods every season? How about higher taxes? Longer periods before you can sell players? Longer time before the tax goes up again to 97%? Higher impact from the "I am familiar with the star players..." on the fan survey?
All those suggestion and others are all supported and have my vote for.

It does not mean that shortening the TL period is not a good one in addition to those you've mentioned.

That specific suggestion will also make that those who tank all season long and just purchase before playoff time to change their way, and play as this game is expected to be played.
Otherwise, let's remove all (or most) league games, and start from playoff time...

This issue happens in real sports and is just something that has to be dealt with. I see professional teams over paying for players all the time.

In this game very few players are truly unique. If there is a player that you want and he is way too expensive just keep an eye out and I bet you will find a comparable player within a week if not much less.
