With the current roster of both teams... I am 100% positive that you won't have any chance of winning even with HCA

ie. League - register up to 15 players before the first game of the season - and during the season you can add up to 3 new names to register with your original (totalling a maximum of 18.)

I really like this idea. I might modify it a bit to the following for league play:

-15 roster spots per season; 11 have to be assigned for the first game of the season, otherwise BB assigns them for you. And if you do not have 11 players on your roster, BB automatically signs up scrubs (similar to lucky fans) to fill the void.

-Whenever you set an illegal line-up, 5 players are chosen at random from the list to play (this eliminates walkovers).

-Ability to put one player on "injury reserve" per season, provided they are injured and that it does not reduce your roster below 11. This frees up their roster spot but they cannot play in league games anymore (just cup and scrimmage when they heal), unless you have a roster spot to add them again later.

-More injured reserve spots could be added in the event that a team has a castastrophic injury problem that reduces their ability to field a line-up.

I may even reduce the number of roster spots to something like 12-13 and the minimum roster to 8-9. If you are allowed to have separate players for cup and league play, 15 spots is not really limiting.

What if those scrubs will be 18-year-old HOFs? It would be unfair..

Whenever you set an illegal line-up, 5 players are chosen at random from the list to play (this eliminates walkovers).

3 players is sufficient to avoid walkovers.. Eventually, it's a manager's job to prevent team from walkovers, so it not correct to my mind.

On the whole this suggestion is too complicated to come true, especially with injury reserves.

This is simple - make them all have the lowest possible potential and all atrocious skills.

It is not more complicated than any other part of the game. And it makes it more of a managers game. I play a text-based football game that has a similar rule for the injury reserves. No one has ever complained that the rule is complicated.

The following isn't meant to sound rude in anyway so I am sorry if it does sound that way. This is just a friendly discussion :)

How can you think your 11k salary center matches up with my 26k salary center?

How about we just compare our top 5 players. My salary average per player would jump considerably and yours would stay about the same with maybe a slight increase.

Also, I can see the stats of the majority of your team and they don't have defence above Respectable (except one Strong), and you have no shooters with Strong JS or IS. My team has high defence, and high shooting (In the 8-13 range for all starters).

I think you would need at least 4 million dollars right now if you wanted to buy a team that could beat me.
Also my arena is a lot bigger than yours.

His Center is 21 and could be training just because he has over 100k DMI

hmm Perhaps, mine is 22 though and has reveived some training.
Oh well, if he is still keen to have a scrimmage I am interested to see how it goes.

I almost started a thread like this a week or so ago. After I realized what I was going to say did not make much sense, I didn't post. However, I want to add some comments:

* Yes, I've done quite a bit of trading, including the technique of generating money for myself by buying low (early morning Europe time) and selling high (late afternoon europe time). Snatching up players worth a lot more then they were going for in the TL. Even at a taxation rate of me getting about 20% of the sale price.

* If you spend a lot of time playing a game, that game should reward you for putting in that effort. The only part of BB where you can spend a lot of time, is the market, playing the market part of BB. I do spend quite some time analyzing the competition
as well, but more at the TL. And that pays off for me

* As a beginning player, it has significantly increased my knowledge of this game by trading players. I regret some of the trades I made, because I should have kept some players. At the time I though I needed to get rid of them. I've had many many players in matches and I think I now have learned pretty well how to get a balanced team. And that shows in my teams ability to beat teams ranked around 10K on a regular basis.

* As Day trader I've always traded to make my team better, not to earn BB-$$$

* I'm now at a loss about what to do with my time. I can not find any players I want to buy anymore. I need to wait for my income to increase for a couple of games before I have enough cash to buy a player that would better fit my roster. My ultimate goal is to buy/train a better team. Day Trading only gets you so far, especially if a lot of people do day trading.
