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.

This isn't just about "stopping day trading" - it's about making the game playable from a tactical standpoint.

Although you're right, there are other measures that can and should be considered. There should be a 0.5 to 1 season limit before reselling a bought player. The familiarity survey should actually negatively impact merchandise and attendance. Taxes, yeah sure jack them up.

BBs want the TL to operate like it does, however. They get far more ad revenue and don't have to pay attention to the game's broken tactics. It's a great distraction from the actual sim, which is broken and has always been broken. So this is all for naught.

1 season limit before reselling a player?! You're kidding right?!
What if you buy a (some) player(s) during a season and, at the end of this season, you're changing of division:
-if you promote, you're tied up by your players you can't sell and you have no choice but to go back to your previous division.
-if you go down, your big salaries are dooming you and you go bankruptcy.

Very dangerous obviously.

Actually I think the current impact of daytrading is overrated. Effective Daytrading is a thing of the past, as of late it´s very hard to get ANY money out of pure transfer moves.

I think "tanking" (which is btw legal) is a more key issue - it has to be (a) less economically profitable, (b) less intriguing in case of draft picks and (c) severely punished when it happens in combination with walkovers.

Also, a "luxury tax" could be interesting: once your bank account holds more than 10 times the average salaries of your season, you have to pay 0,5 % "taxes", more than 20 times 1 %, more than 25 times 2 %.

It would become alot harder to play the game the Dagobert Duck way then.
